        How can videos benefit my business?

Videos are an essential marketing tool in every business and industry. It will grow your business by giving your customers/clients a good first and lasting impression of your company: the company's background and history, your qualified staff, your products and services and financial strength. A corporate video helps tell the story about your company to prospects.

Videos are instrumental in helping your staff become efficient in their jobs.
         
       
        What is Videography?

Simply put, videography is the art of the video camera- the process of setting up the video camera, lights, scene composition and capturing events onto tape.

        What is Live Feed or Live Video Feed?

Footage from a video camera that is projected onto a large TV or similar device while the video camera is working an event, is known as Live Video Feed.

Typically, this technique is used to broadcast an event to a large backdrop (eg. plasma or projector screen) at another location for general viewing.

Your guests get to view the performance via the huge screen without having to move from their seats. This is great for guests who are seated too far back or are occupying a private room.

        How long does it take to complete a Corporate Video?

This is a tricky question. It really depends on the size of your premises since this will determine videography time, which in turn will effect video editing sessions. From script to screen: on average, a corporate video can take as little as 3 weeks and up to 2 months to complete.

        If have a corporate HQ and a medium-sized factory. How long then?

Assuming the script and videography schedule is approved and given your specifications, you should have your first draft in two weeks.

        Tell me the difference between a Launch Video and an Event Video

The launch video is a fast-paced, dynamic video used to unveil a new product or service and is normally played in the presence of the press so it has to be concise and impressive. It is completed before the event and presented during the launch.

An event video however, is normally given to your shareholders and investors to highlight your monthly functions and activities. Although an event video is slightly longer, it nonetheless has to maintain its entertaining qualities as well as convey key information about the featured activities. An event video is created during and after the event, presented no longer than 5 working days later, while it is still fresh on everyone's minds.

        Tell me the difference between a DVD and a VCD

VCD uses MPEG-1 compression while DVD uses MPEG-2 which is of a more advanced standard thus allowing DVD to have significantly better picture quality.

DVD plays back video at full screen; meaning you can view your video through a DVD player on your TV (regardles of TV screen size) or DVD equipped computer monitor. VCDs cannot keep up with the high picture quality of DVD as it displays video at a resolution of roughly half the size of DVD.

VCD: (352 X 288) pixels at 72 dpi
DVD: (720 X 576) pixels at 72 dpi

An interactive DVD offers the you the freedom of selecting: Chapters, Subtitles, Video Angles, Languages and Audio Setup.

It allows the programmer to create various menus, buttons, navigation features etc. during the DVD Authoring process.

Interactive options for VCD is severely limited to: Mono/Stereo sound channel and video chapters.

        What is 3D Animation?

A good example would be recent Hollywood Box Office hits: Finding Nemo, The Incredibles to name a few. There are 5 stages in creating 3D animation:

Stage 1: Research & Development and storyboarding
Stage 2: Modelling (creating your corporate logo, machinery, product etc.)
Stage 3: Texturing & Lighting (dressing up the objects and setting up lights)
Stage 4: Animation (Applying motion to the 3D models and camera position)
Stage 5: Rendering (The computer processes the data. This procedure is automated)

3D animation is a time-consuming process but its well worth the time invested as it helps create video footage that is physically impossible or impractical to achieve in real life.

What is Photo Montage?

When there is a lack of video, the alternative is to employ the Photo Montage. A collection of photographs are animated to give the viewer the impression that the photos were shot with a video camera. The idea is to pan and zoom the photographs, giving the effect of movement then apply video filters like blurs and colour correction. The result is a convincing video consisting of a compilation of photos.

What is a Training Video?

A Training Video is the most cost-effective method of educating your staff on your company's best practices, operating procedures or even sales techniques.

The Training Video frees up the facilitator's schedule to pursue other more important initiatives and reduces travel and accommodation costs of both the the trainees and trainers.

Training can then be conducted at a convenient and central location by way of incorporating training material into DVDs and setting up a training area with a comprehensive AV system comprising of a TV, speakers and a DVD player.

Learning through this method allows the trainee to recall the training material as often as he/she likes at his/her convenience thus ensuring the maximum assimilation of training material.
