THE FLEXERA STORY

CASE STUDY

We sent our filming crew out to Hong Kong to shoot this CEO talking heads video

- explaining the challenges & solutions that Chinese enterprises face when trying to reduce their high ongoing software expenses.

The solution was to use talking heads alongside animated infographics.

Combining animation & filmed interview enabled the audience to properly understand the technical explanation

- helping them to prevent wasted investment in the wrong places.

We wanted to produce a suite of videos in order to place them on an online learning platform. We found Studio Rossiter and from the outset we were impressed by their clarity and professionalism concerning the whole process. Each step is outlined clearly, cost is transparent and the roles and expectations clearly defined. Where there were any issues, Studio Rossiter worked quickly to understand our point of view and we were able to work collaboratively towards the goal of completing the videos. Throughout the process, it is made easy to give feedback at each stage through clever use of online technologies. Amendments are made at a rapid speed so that you can always see the latest version online. The final product surprised us by how good it was and we would not hesitate to work with them again for any similar projects.It is clear that Studio Rossiter love what they do and this translates in to both excellent client service and an excellent product.

My experience with Rossiter and Co; A small family business with a personal touch, with lots of experience and very professional. We made our first video around 2001 and have been using Rossiter ever since because they offer an excellent value for money solution and are full of innervation. We have now entered into animation as it offers a better fix for multi-language and cultural differences.We are a global company with a large geographic spread and Rossiter and Co. are still exceeding our needs and expectations.

Our company is in the U.S., but after reviewing Studio Rossiter, we made the commitment to use their expertise to develop our Company Overview video. We had reservations since they were in the UK, but we could not be happier with the results. Very professionally done - on time and on budget. Recently we asked them to update the video, and this was done quickly at a reasonable price.

I approached Kevin & his team a while ago to produce a corporate video after finding them on google. ironically they turned out to be a local firm. Kevin took the time to come and get a feel for our business and understand the task at hand. I am pleased to say the corporate video produced was of excellent quality that we are proud to show clients (old & new) to showcase our services and have played out at Trade shows across the UK. - I would highly recommend Studio Rossiter for any aspect of Video production and associated advertising services.

10 ways we make your interview look & sound great
even in dull locations

There are many reasons why there’s often little available by way of inspiring locations to interview in, so a key part of the video director’s job is to make the most of what’s already there - which may be just a spare office or reception area.

We solve this by focusing on what we can do to build up the individual - the valued interviewee - so the location becomes secondary in the viewer's eye.

HOW WE BUILD THE INDIVIDUAL

1: HAVE EVERYTHING PREPARED in advance, and timed so the interviewee isn’t hanging around waiting for a video crew to rig

2: RELAX THE INTERVIEWEE by taking their mind off the camera, always raising a smile

3: USE 2 CAMERAS for front and side shots, adding punch to the speaker’s delivery

4: USE TILTED CAMERAS for a quirky or engaging angle

5: LIGHT THEM to add grandeur, intimacy or intelligence

6: ENERGISE THEM so their words carry more weight

7: RECOGNISE WHEN THEY’VE SAID SOMETHING GREAT, and encourage them to elaborate on this key point for emphasis

8: INVOLVE THEM in what we’re doing so they don’t have time to get bored or worried

9: TAKE LOTS OF CUTAWAY SHOTS to help the audience relate better to the interviewee, eg, meeting with colleagues, taking a call, walking through a long office, doing something smart or digital

10: COSMETIZE THEM in the studio afterwards so they look younger and more appealing

3 steps to rescuing a mediocre interview

Your interview subjects aren’t professional. In fact only ⅓ of interviewees are naturally good at appearing on camera.

The rest waffle or repeat or look hesitant in varying degrees. Your interviewees may well be no different to this norm, even though they’re perfectly good speakers under normal circumstances.

So how do we turn a stuttering performance into a smooth convincing delivery that wins for you?

1: USE MORE VOICE AND LESS FACE. Most spoken audio from interviews can be cut together to sound pretty good, by removing all the ums and ahs for a smoother delivery. The audio track can usually be made to sound great.
2: DUB OVER OTHER VIDEO. We film & edit additional video over the processed interviewee audio, dubbing video over them with shots of them at work, or in meetings or demonstrating, or anything relevant and interesting. Or we can dub over graphic or caption screens, or stock library footage - in fact anything that minimizes their facetime on screen, while listening to their carefully edited smoothed voice.
3: ONLY SHOW THE BEST BITES. With nervous interviewees, we edit so they’re only seen when they’re making their strongest points, delivering their punchlines.
