14 Video Shoots Across 3 States . . . Easy


Hi Reader,

We are about to wrap a fun project: 14 video shoots at different locations across 3 states.

Normally, coordinating something like this is a nightmare. You either pay to fly a video crew all over the country, gamble on local freelancers, or settle for a Zoom recording and just accept the bad laptop audio and pixelated video . . . or some hodgepodge of all three.

Our client took a different approach. They chose quality, simplicity, and hours back in their day.

We deliver consistent, 2-camera, 4K interview footage, and their art director just has to show up in our virtual studio to ask the questions. No travel, no setup, no logistics. At minimum, this saves the director hours of commute time. And at max, days of flights.

To show you what 'no travel' can look like without sacrificing quality, here is a bit of an overdramatized side-by-side from a worst-case Zoom recording and one of our recent remote sessions.

Now I hope you never end up in such a dire Zoom situation, but on the right are screenshots of actual footage we captured on one of our remote shoots with the vidKit v3.1.

And to up the proof-factor - here is a sample clip of the two 4k cameras from that very shoot so you can see the setup in action. Be sure to download the file if you want to see it in it's full 7680x2160 resolution. Drive crushes the video to HD.

If you need to capture high-quality video from remote clients or team members this year, let's chat.

Hit reply or schedule a quick discovery call here, and let's map out a time-saving strategy for your upcoming projects.

Hi Reader, If you run a non-profit gala, a startup cohort graduation, or an industry conference, you know the impact your organization creates. You also know how vital it is to capture that impact, and how hard it can be to actually execute. Your event is the single best time to gather authentic feedback, but hiring a full video production crew often swallows the budget and creates on-site disruption. And a post-event survey email simply won't capture the raw emotion of the day. Over the past...

Frustrated business traveler.

Hi Reader, If you run an agency or production team, you’ve likely been forced to pass on a phenomenal client story because the subject was located three states away. When a key executive, client, or user is in Denver, Houston, or LA, you’re usually stuck choosing between two bad options: The Travel Budget Trap: $600 flights + $250 hotels + $1,200 crew day rates + lost productive travel days ($2,500+ total cost) . . . and that is if everything goes according to plan. The Webcam Trap: A grainy,...

Hi Reader, Video is great, but the real ROI is the insight. If you only use a client interview to produce a 90-second video clip for your website, you are leaving 80% of its value on the table. Yes, video builds trust. And, yes, having a client point out the specific ways your business is great is an effective way to engage with your ideal clients. But video is just the vessel. The real business asset is the customer intelligence hidden inside the conversation. When a client talks about...
