San Antonio Video Productions, LLC

For years, we’ve worked with countless corporate and conference clients, and one thing always stood out: event planning is chaotic. Everyone seems to start from scratch—Excel spreadsheets for schedules, PowerPoints for run-of-shows, random apps for notes, and scattered email threads for communication. It’s messy, time-consuming, and stressful. So, we decided to do something about it. We created a free Notion-based?Event Planner Template?that puts everything in one place. Event details? ? Schedules? ? Key contacts? ? Announcements, tasks, and even attendee lists? ? It’s all there, organized and easy to use. The best part? It works for?large conference events?just as well as it does for?smaller corporate office events. The results? Our clients are saving time, staying on top of every detail, and running smoother events. As a video production company, we know how important it is to have everything streamlined—because when the event runs smoothly, so does our work. Here’s the link to the Notion Template: https://lnkd.in/gkrtdZ7Z Feel free to click the “Duplicate” button on the top right corner to make it your own! Please keep in mind that while you can access this planner on mobile, it’s best viewed on a desktop/laptop. We’d love your feedback as we’re constantly improving it to make it even more useful for event planners, marketers, and business owners. #EventPlanning #VideoProduction #CorporateEvents #MarketingTips #CMO #BusinessOwners

Planning for a corporate video shoot starts with the setup! #sanantoniovideoproductions #sanantoniovideographer #videographer #videoproduction #cinematography #fx3 #sony #fx30 #filmmaking #videoediting #marketing #digitalmarketing #conference #corporatevideo

Interview-driven videos are a cornerstone of effective corporate video production. They allow us to showcase authentic voices and powerful narratives that resonate with audiences. https://lnkd.in/gNy5k6uM In my latest video, I dive into how to Plan for Corporate Video Shoots and capture these impactful projects. Typically featuring multiple interviewees and compelling b-roll, these projects are completed within a focused 6 to 8-hour shoot. Here are some key takeaways: - Structure is key. After honing your story and preparing your interview questions, logistics become your next priority. - Effective time management is crucial. I suggest breaking your day into three main segments: setup, interviews, and b-roll collection. This approach not only optimizes your workflow but also ensures that every critical moment is captured. The art of storytelling through interview-driven videos is not just relevant for filmmakers; it holds valuable lessons for all industries. Clarity and preparation are vital in delivering our messages effectively.

This is spot on! And we’re seeing the?exact same thing?happening in video production and marketing. Too often, businesses treat video like a box to check: "Let’s crank out a bunch of videos and see if it works." But just like SEO, video isn’t about volume or throwing content at the wall to see what sticks. It’s about?strategy, creativity, and value. ? What actually works in video: → Telling authentic, compelling stories → Understanding your audience’s pain points and addressing them → High-quality production that reflects your brand → Creating content with a clear purpose (awareness, education, conversion, etc.) ? What doesn’t work: → Generic, cookie-cutter videos → Over-reliance on trends without substance → Videos made just to "check the box" → Content that doesn’t connect with your audience Video, like SEO, is a long-term investment in building trust, authority, and connection. When done right, it’s one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal. What are your thoughts? Are you seeing this trend too? #videomarketing #videoproduction #corporatevideo

It’s impressive what you can do with GoPro Labs for a Multi-Day Timelapse. GoPro Labs is basically GoPro's beta program that pretty much makes your GoPro more useful by using QR Codes and creating custom configurations. There are free features in this software that GoPro devs have yet to push to public release and it's basically like unlocking new functionality for FREE. Here’s how to set it up: - Go to the GoPro Labs website and download the relevant zip file for your model. - Unzip it and copy the update folder to your SD card. - Insert the card into your GoPro while it's off, turn it on, and you're ready! After setup, go download the GoPro Labs app to create custom configurations with GoPro QR codes. My setup allows my GoPro to: - Start recording 30 seconds after it’s turned on. - Switch off after 15 hours. - Turn back on at 8 PM to film nighttime construction. I haven’t tested the battery for long hours, but when the GoPro is off, it stays charged all day, making it perfect for extended time-lapse projects. Looking to optimize your video production?

Interviews are crucial for video production, yet many don't know how to efficiently plan their production schedule for them. Your interview equipment setup differs from your B-roll setup, so ideally, conduct all interviews consecutively. If that’s not possible, set your gear up away from B-roll locations to ensure smooth transitions and minimal disruptions. I recommend allowing each interviewee 30 to 60 minutes to help them feel comfortable and keep the conversation flowing. Check out our latest video for tips on: - Preparing your subject - Practical setup advice - Crafting perfect interview questions When clients want interviews in multiple locations, allow a 30-minute window to relocate your gear. This ensures a seamless transition—rushing can lead to chaos. If you’re moving around, lighter equipment can ease your journey. Leverage these strategies to enhance your interview process and create compelling content. #VideoProduction #Marketing #CMO #Business #ContentCreation #Interviews #Broll #ProductionPlanning

Crafting great interview questions can truly make a difference. Standard lists often miss the chance for deeper insights. Instead, focus on creating Rich Talking Points—15-20 second segments that tell compelling stories for your videos. Here’s a quick guide for video lengths: - For a 2-minute video: 6-8 talking points - For a 3-minute video: 9-12 talking points - For a 5-minute video: 15-20 talking points Don’t forget crucial parts like introductions, calls-to-action, and outros. They frame your content beautifully. Also, impactful soundbites are essential for quick messages. Craft short, clear sentences for your interviewee to read. Ensure they feel comfortable with the phrasing. “Collaborating with BlueSky Enterprises transformed our customer service strategy” is a great example. Engaging videos start with well-crafted questions. #VideoProduction #InterviewTips #MarketingStrategy #ContentCreation #BusinessGrowth #CMO #VideoMarketing #MarketingManagement#sanantoniovideoproductions #videographer #videoproduction #sony #filmmaking #corporatevideo #conference

When it comes to corporate videos, the quality of your B-Roll can make all the difference. Here’s a key tip to ensure you capture the best footage possible. Great B-Roll is essential; it keeps viewers engaged. Set aside 1-3 hours for diverse shots, especially with gimbals, scenes, or drones, and prepare for some driving between locations. Having multiple shooters or client reps on-site speeds things up, allowing you to capture various angles simultaneously. Over the years, I’ve learned that while a detailed shot list helps, it’s crucial to capture more footage than you think you’ll need. Include: - Company signage - Logos - Building interiors/exteriors - Employees in action - Product showcases These shots can improve your current video and be valuable for future projects. Remember, beginner photographers often overshoot, while beginner videographers don’t capture enough. Extra B-Roll can save your project in post-production. Quick tip: film your B-Roll in 60fps for better quality and editing flexibility.
