Example Client Testimonial Videos
Builds Trust like no other medium
Viewers will see in the video how your product or service has helped someone in their situation, who had their problem or need which is now resolved.
Easy for you and your client
Just ask a loyal client if it’s okay if a videographer comes and interviews them, and we’ll do the rest. You’ll be watching a first draft in less that a week.
Return on Investment
Show the videos to prospects with the same problem and watch them sign up for your service.
Start, with a good idea of what you want to communicate in the video – its purpose, who to target, what single action you want them to take. You can draft your own script or we can do it. Effort on preproduction – sourcing excellent locations, and your talent being well prepared, makes for a much better final video.
Make sure that on the day of filming, any ‘actors’ or talent are well prepared. Make sure speaking lines are rehearsed. Ensure all props and facilities you are providing are available at the right time.
Once we send through a draft video, provide any amendment requests in one go. Generally avoid changes to the plan mid-project.
Feel free to ask at the start how you can save costs if you need to. There may be elements of the process you can do which save time and your money.
Depending on the complexity and number of videos, most projects are completed in about a month, including planning, filming, editing. There may be a few days going back and forth on pre-production or scripting, filming may take half a day or a day. We’ll usually have a first draft video back to you within a week of filming. Subsequent rounds of changes will be made in a couple of days of your feedback.
If we’re making multiple videos we will write shot lists and batch like scenes/ locations together and film them at the same time to keep costs down.
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.
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.
For some types of video, you may not need to appear in front of the camera at all. We sometimes use voice over or actors or other people involved in the business.
Second, you may only need to appear for a few seconds or say a very few words. With our coaching, short takes are easier.
Third, we know how to help you relax, enjoy and to be a little more animated and to give your best performance. We can use a teleprompter to save remembering lines, and we’ll coach you on how to still look natural. Some practice beforehand does help.
It true that most of us don’t like seeing or hearing ourselves in videos. Yet every day everyone around us sees and hears us. Video as a medium is here to stay and is probably worth getting used to if you’re in business.
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.
