Leverage Your Event in Melbourne

We do need to be mindful of people’s privacy. It’s a natural curtessy that we have permission to display people. Here’s some options:

• Put signs up at events and make an announcement at the start, giving folk an option to move to a spot where we know not to film.
• Get signed consent forms, we can help provide these
• Use staff, actors or friends to simulate customers or other participants
• Even when using staff, we’ll often recommend getting a signed consent, in case they leave soon after filming.

It’s generally considered acceptable if you’re in a public place and there are other people around but not featuring.

The video production process is split into three essential phases which scale up or down according to the project:

1. Pre-production. This includes planning the videos, organising locations, talent, writing scripts, shot lists.
2. Production. Filming, creating other assets like motion graphics, animations, finding stock footage and music.
3. Post-production. This is the editing phase. Assembling all the assets in the editing software to tell the story as it was planned. Adding the Broll (cover footage), graphics, titles, end screen and music. Usually we include two rounds of review for the client.

There’s more details on this page.

The best evidence is to view the videos and read the testimonials on the Examples page.

For filming we mainly use Sony cinema line cameras like the A7siii, FX30 and Z190. We bring all necessary lighting, tripods, gimbal, drone and high quality sound recording equipment – lapel radio mics and shotgun mics.  We can also create complex animations and animated graphics.

We have experience scripting, filming and editing a broad range of commercial and not-for-profit projects.  Some examples include:

• Project case study interviews for Hume City Council, similarly for Federation University programs
• Editing for the payment platform, Stripe
• Client testimonial videos for a kitchen / bathroom install business
• Demonstration videos for Daytek – manufacturer of clotheslines
• Investment attraction videos for Brimbank City Council and separately, Hume City Council
• Videos for Western Water explaining how they deliver water, sewer and recycled water.
• 7 investment attraction videos for Wyndham City Council
• Four township videos for Mitchell Shire Council to attract residents.
• Eight product videos for Sitro Group, owners of the Gasmate brand among others
• A series of eight short cooking shows for WeCook4U.
• Short video blog style interviews to camera for Search Engine Optimisation company ROI
• A number of advertising ‘explainer videos’ for a new company, Pickawall, which makes customised removable wall paper
• A series of six documentary style interviews with leading environmental sustainability experts and permaculturalists
• Filming speaking engagements to large audiences by professional public speakers (AP Marketing and Kovess International).
• Filming testimonial videos for a pharmacy purchasing group under a tight filming schedule.
• Many others such as recruitment videos, clips for local clubs, a solar power installer, a cerebral palsy service provider, metal art work, skylights, pizza ovens, furniture, Fitness coach.
• We also often team up with other video production, photography and events companies across Australia.

We understand how best to communicate complex information about products and services.  We have qualifications and experience in marketing, project management, film and documentary production.

If you recognise videos can help attract the right clients and save time in other ways, make an estimate of the improved business revenue or time saved and you’ll see the return on investment from making videos.

You can make the videos yourself. But again, estimate the time you’ll take in planning, filming, editing, and re-editing. And then, will they look good? At Clips That Sell we have the professional cine cameras, lights, mics, tripods, gimbals, editing software and skills to save you the hassle. We have lots of experience directing and advising.

We plan the video production to be as efficient as possible whilst also achieving the desired outcome. For example minimising filming locations, scheduling and grouping like scenes.
