BE INSPIRED MEDIA - Content-first Creative Agency’s Post

Shoot day! Last month was busy, with 5 shoots during August. We love it! With some production houses, shoot day can be scary. But not with us. As one of the steadiest pairs of hands in the business, experienced marketers know we get the most out of every budget. How do we do that? By getting more done on shoot days, through careful planning, and never losing sight of the results your business needs to achieve. #Producible #WhereResultsAreMade #BTS #ShootDay

#longpost The ability to adapt to new challenges & situations is the first step towards success. "Mam, it’s a shoot for a large national brand of salt and, food per se may not be in focus. Here's is a small list of dishes required to supplement the main shots. Also, we're planning sunrise shots, so the cab will reach at 4.30 am to pick you." AD briefed the tvc on phone call. . . After a quiet early morning city ride, I reached the actively buzzing shooting spot at 5.15 am only to see the assistant director rushing towards me, with a mike in one hand and story board in another. "Mam, we need some more dishes. A rich vegetable gravy for still shots, sambhar, vatha kulumbhu, plain rice, potato fry and, 3 different chutneys for TVC action shots." He read out the new storyboard in one breath and looked up, waiting for me to react. Like many other television shoots, the storyboard shifted gears this time too. Procuring special ingredients at a remote place, and prepping & styling within the stipulated time, proved a daunting challenge. How did i execute it? . Well, that's the hard-earned secret I learned by making mistakes, rinsing and repeating them, during 100s of television commercial shoots over 20 years in industry. . The magic formula? 3 Ps; Plan, Prepare and, never Panic. . . Isn't our life all about that too? We encounter countless challenges in life. While we may not be able to control what happens to us, we can always control how we respond to it, by not giving in to panic. As the saying goes, "Life is 10% of what you experience and 90% how you respond to it." . . One another project ended on a very happy note! 🥰 . . #dowhatyoulove #sidehussle #beingcreative #nevergiveup #televisioncommercial ##foodphotography

☀️ 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐬 (𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞!) Want to make your videos look instantly better? 🎥 Avoid filming in the middle of the day, especially in summer. The harsh overhead sun creates unflattering shadows (hello, baggy eyes 👀) and squint-inducing brightness.   Instead, aim for golden hours—early morning or late afternoon—for softer, even lighting that flatters your face. Small changes make a big difference!   For more practical video tips, follow along! 🌟 #VideoTips #LightingMatters #ContentCreation #GoldenHourFilming #CreativeJourney #FilmmakingTips #QueenslandContent #VideoProduction #FollowForMore #EngagingContent

B-roll footage (the tech term for the 'day in the life' style footage to complement an interview) might seem secondary, but it plays a crucial role in creating a polished and engaging video. Here’s why it’s important: 1. Visual Interest: B-roll adds visual variety, keeping viewers engaged and preventing the video from becoming monotonous. 2. Storytelling: It helps illustrate and support the main narrative, providing context and depth to your story. 3. Smooth Transitions: B-roll is essential for smooth transitions between scenes, maintaining the flow and coherence of the video. 4. Covering Edits: It’s perfect for covering up cuts and edits, making the final product look seamless and professional. 5. Highlighting Details: B-roll allows you to highlight important details that might not fit into the main footage but are still relevant. 6. Creating Mood: It can help set the tone and mood of your video, whether it’s through scenic shots, action sequences, or detailed close-ups. 7. Enhancing Messages: Use B-roll to emphasize key points, making your message more impactful and memorable. Ready to enhance your video with captivating B-roll footage? Let’s add those perfect shots to your project! 🎬 #BRoll #VideoProduction #EnhancingContent

Behind the scenes at a video shoot involving four kids ranging in age from six months to six years! Filming with kids can be a challenge – unless you have a stellar crew and do a little extra pre-planning (and even then, there are certain things you can’t plan for #dirtydiapers). There were nap schedules to consider, favorite snacks to have on hand and parents were always nearby. For my friends in video production … what are your top tips for keeping kids happy on a shoot? (The great tip I learned here: Allowing a two year old to go crazy with color markers on the paper gurney sheet is simply brilliant!!!) #videoproduction #videoproducer
