?? Hip Hip Hooray! Rhonda Roberts, our Post-Production Specialist, is celebrating her 2-year annniversary, today! In just two years at Gillespie, Rhonda has proven herself to be an integral piece of the production puzzle. She shared a few memories and stories from her time so far: "Everyone who shares a name with a famous song knows what it's like to be serenaded wherever you go. It's very meaningful to me that a highlight of my second year at Gillespie Productions was a work outing to a Beach Boys concert. I gained new appreciation for the song 'Help Me, Rhonda' and reaffirmed my appreciation for my wonderful colleagues. You haven't lived until you've seen John Stamos master the percussion on 'Kokomo' LIVE and IN PERSON! But seriously, I've learned so much and grown so much over the past year, and it's all thanks to the support and encouragement of the team around me and our amazing clients. One of the most valuable experiences I had in my second year was a project with the Northeast Wisconsin Manufacturing Alliance. I was given the opportunity to produce videos highlighting manufacturers in Shawano and Oconto Counties. From yachts to classroom furniture to delicious bacon, it was fascinating to see where and how these products are made, and to witness the pride of the employees. It's a massive sense of pride to know that what I'm doing is affecting people out there,' said one of the employees during our interview. I know that's how I feel when people enjoy our videos. I am looking forward to year three (!) at Gillespie Productions and new opportunities to continue to grow my skills and grow my experiences with clients. And hopefully, another concert with my colleagues/friends!" #gillespieproductions #meettheteam #happyanniversary

To convey the dynamic work environment at Cushman & Wakefield, we shot this video that gives the impression of a "single shot"! The footage showcases a diverse number of roles and career opportunities within the company. This high-energy video grabs attention and gives prospective employees a glimpse of what their future roles could look like. Could you picture this video in the header of a website or playing on a screen during a Career Fair?

???? What an awesome little video! You better believe we had a blast putting this together... This is a great example of how user-generated content (UGC) can be incorporated into a professionally shot story, weaving in an element of authenticity. In this case, we used a clip from a viral video to promote our client's services. If this video made you laugh, give us a like or share ?? #gillespieproductions #videography #videomarketing

Here's some food for thought: What happens if you feature someone in a video, but then they leave the organization? If you worked with Gillespie, you're in good shape! We keep ALL raw footage, so editing just got a whole lot easier. Here are a few ways we can approach your video edit: ? We can edit them out. If they appear in B-roll, we can easily replace that clip. ? We can replace their contribution. If they are a featured speaker, we can either remove them or find another interview to put in its place. We never want this to impact the story, of course, so if we see that removing or swapping would have a major impact on the story, we’ll provide you with other options to refresh your video, such as reshooting. ? We can use a voiceover. If that interview is integral to the story, we can swap it out for a neutral voiceover. ? We can use text-on-screen. We can also put the speaker’s key points on the screen as text, to replace their recorded voice. Did this spark an idea?

?? Congrats on your 5-year anniversary, Reed Shallue! We can't imagine our team without your skills and insights. To celebrate, we asked Reed to share some of his expertise around live events: ? When did you start working on live events or with live video content??? "I started my career working in news but that was completely different than what we consider a live event at Gillespie Productions. In news, it was very script-heavy with a lot of writing, and while the show itself was live, it was mostly run by the technical directors, rather than producers. In my mind, I believe I officially started working on live events back in 2020 when I started at GP. Clients turned to us wanting and needing to communicate important information or continue fundraising efforts during the Covid years and we were able to learn a new technology to help our customers in need." ? What do you like about creating live events?? "I love creating live events because of the atmosphere it creates on the live event day. Attendees are excited to hear a message about their company, and we want to deliver a perfect show for people to enjoy. We create amazing in-event videos and other graphical elements to keep things upbeat and engaging for all in attendance and online. It can be a lot of pressure running through the live event, but our passion and attention to every detail is what helps us deliver an amazing experience with this fun service we offer." #gillespieproductions #meetheteam #workanniversary #liveevents

PSA: Don't underestimate the power of your video thumbnail ??? Your thumbnail is your “visual hook.” It draws in viewers and encourages them to hit “play” on your content. With a well-designed thumbnail, you entice viewers into your story.
