Video: Banking's Visual Bridge to Prosperity

Still the bedrock of our economic system, the banking and financial sectors have been quietly assaulted on all sides. Shifting needs and behaviors by the public, regulations, and new technology have forced institutions to change the way they're doing business in order to survive and thrive. Industry leaders all stress the importance of understanding and communicating the financial developments. These include extensive use of the Cloud with evolving financial platforms and ins

How Effective Are Your Videos?

Video in the business setting can be a pretty entertaining project at first. Moving images with production quality is getting closer and closer to the movies. But pretty quickly, due to the cost, we find that clients want them to be posted, running, and producing. That may be for marketing purposes or even internal programs. The most effective video campaigns always come with some kind of metric set. That is, you need some benchmarks to let you know how you're doing. Without

Is Your Video Content Heating Up For Summer?

Ahh…summertime. Shorts, t-shirts, and summer vacations! I think for many, marketing during summertime sounds like, “leave me alone, I’m on vacation.” It’s the “I’ll do it in the fall mentality.” But truthfully, it’s a great time for opportunity. Yes, it can be a season to be a little more relaxed, but unfortunately we just came out of a pandemic and now is a great time to do the opposite of what you may have been doing for years. When it comes to your video content marketing,

Are Short Videos Your Best Chance For Engagement?

I think we can all agree that our attention spans have been getting shorter and shorter over the years. It’s an obvious trend as video content and the platforms that showcase them are getting shorter - especially those geared to the young professionals and younger generations. So the question is, can you get your message across in the matter of 15-20 seconds? The short answer is yes! Video content, we call “Shorts,” is a trend we’re seeing more and more of. Larger brands, esp

Getting Your Video Marketing Back On Track Post Covid

But as history has shown, there’s light at the end of this tunnel as well. No, I want this article specifically to talk about, how to get your online video marketing back up to speed post Covid.

The Power of Video

Over the years, I’ve written a lot about the Power of Video. We’ve also made a few Vlogs on the overwhelming statistics about how video can boost your business. There’s a lot. I can remember when we were starting The Idea Studio. Video wasn’t our only focus back then, but it was on the forefront of our thinking. We would always try and direct our current and potential clients into doing a video just to help them with their SEO on Google. Most would say something like “What ki

How to Plan a Shoot

“I love it when a plan comes together” was famously said by George Peppard’s character Hannibal Smith on the hit TV show The A-Team. I always loved that show as a kid - but as much as I’d love to sit here and talk about nostalgic TV shows, my point is, I really do love when a plan comes together. Don’t you?? Planning is the key to success, said every successful person ever. When you have an important event coming up like a vacation, meeting, or something huge like a wedding,

Our Focus is on You

When you think of the word FOCUS what comes to mind? Maybe it’s an old teacher or one of your parents saying, “Focus!” Maybe it’s your own voice telling yourself to focus when you’re in a meeting or even taking a test. Whatever the case, the word focus is powerful. It’s a word that can put us in the right frame of mind for whatever situation we’re in. To pay attention to being in the present moment. For us, one of our mantras has been, “Our focus is on you.” No pun intended.

Why Mixed Media Might Be Right For You

As we manage our way through Q4 of 2020 and this crazy year starts to wrap up, I’ve noticed that people are getting back into wanting to produce video content again. Live action shoots definitely slowed down this year due to Covid (just look at all Hollywood productions), but animation and mixed media videos have increased over this past year. Brands realize that they need to continue to advertise and market their businesses to continue to grow and have looked to these kinds

Aren't we all saying the same thing? (a rant)

The more and more I’ve been in “the business world,” the more and more I’ve noticed a trend among messaging. What is that you ask? Well, we’re all basically saying the same thing. For example, being in the marketing world, I see a lot of brand messaging like: “We’re a result-driven marketing agency” or “Our proven method produces results” Even on company videos you hear business leaders say, “We’re different because we dive deep to understand our clients….etc.” Yes, the way t

Is Video Really Worth It?

I often get the question, “Is video really worth it?” My short answer is, “yes.” But there are definitely some reasons to back up my quick response. When I hear the word “worth” I think of the word "value." Or - how are we getting or giving value to something (not just how much does it cost)? There’s a big difference you know? Between Value and Cost that is. But that’s a whole other article altogether. In this short Vlog, our Studio Director, Kevin Greene, will give a quick t

Avoid These Three Things When Creating Videos

With so many people creating their own video content at home right now, I wanted to talk about three things to avoid when shooting video so your content will look and sound it’s best! 1. POOR LIGHTING. Too many times I’ve seen people shooting video with too much backlight. See example below. This happens typically when the subject’s background is a window. All the light from behind causes the subject's face to become dark with shadows leaving the viewer with an unpleasant ima

Real Emotions Cause Real Impact

No matter what kind of person you are, no matter what you believe, no matter where you come from, real emotion impacts you. I don't know if there's anything that brings out our emotions more than watching real people display real passion. Sharing their story along with uplifting, motivational music to accompany it is sure to pull at the "heart strings." Seriously. This is why I love what we do.

Perfectly Balanced

As we know, there are many elements of operating cameras. But other than the physical aspect of the craft, let's keep our focus on the technical part for a little bit longer. We know that there is much more to getting a good image than just having a nice #camera. But some people may find themselves running into awkward looking images, even after they composed the shot and exposed it perfectly with the #exposure triangle. But still, the image comes out too jaundiced or too col

To Storyboard or Not to Storyboard

If you create and market videos for a passion or professionally, you understand how things can quickly get messy. Ideas can get scrambled and most often you will find that not everyone is on the same page. This is a hinderance and can jam up production, making it nearly impossible to complete the video. Luckily, we have found ways to have a smooth production, and this all starts in pre-production. One tool to help keep everything moving nicely is to have a #storyboard. Storyb

The Importance of a Shot List

The most meticulous and time-consuming part of all of production is pre-production. Can you believe that? A large amount of your dedication to a project will be set way before you even begin filming. But it is crucial that you spend a lot of time working out every little detail in pre-production. This way you can save time, energy, and money during production and post-production. Basically, pre-production paves the way for the entirety of your #videoproduction project. One im
