January 16, 2021 David Staughton

Who are the BEST VIDEO EXPERTS to make Conference Videos for  Speakers & Presenters?

By David Staughton CSP CCEO, Professional Speaker and Small Business Consultant

  • Do you need a “Video Guy”, Video Cameraman or a Videographer to record your conference presentations?
  • Want a Video Editor or Video Production to edit & produce your video footage to make you look great?
  • Need Visual Experts like a Visual Storyteller & Director to  get the right Video Footage and turn it into a Showreel that SELLS?

Videos are a CRITICAL part of your speaker marketing.

Having watched hundreds of them online, most of them really need more effort and the input & advice of Video Experts!

Why you need Great Video as a Speaker

A great SPEAKER VIDEO really beats everything for getting your message across! – better than photos and just words on a page.

A video SHOWREEL is essential for a professional speaker and you’ll need lots of quality video of your onstage presentations and media appearances to assemble a good one.

It is a great idea to RECORD EVERY STAGE PRESENTATION – EVERY TIME – at least audio or video on your phone or on a GoPro and collect professionally done videos for your best/big gigs.  You can improve your speaking skills by watching and analysing your presentations on video.

See this awesome BLOG  on the 6 types of VIDEOS that you’ll need to promote your speaking business. Amanda Stevens sets the standard for the best marketing use of videos by a speaker.

You’ll just need to find the RIGHT Video people and experts to help grow your speaker brand and speaking business.

VIDEO TIPS FOR SPEAKERS

How to Brief your Video Crew

When organising your Video crew and Video shoots it helps to know what you want and ask for it ….

  • Know your OUTCOME – What are you going to do with the video? – for public, internal or private use?
  • Do you have PERMISSION from the client, event organisers and audience members?
  • FOOTAGE or FINAL EDIT – Are you just getting Video of Speaker on the Stage? or do you want it edited too?
  • CAMERA 1 or 2 ? – A Single camera Shoot or Twin Camera shoot? – on the speaker the whole time? or the audience?
  • FIXED or MOBILE? – A Fixed Camera or a Moving “Action” camera?
  • SLIDES TOO? Do you want to see the Screen & Slides too? or can you add them in afterwards? (Add them in!)
  • AUDIO SET UP – How are you getting your Audio? – Feed from AV Desk or wiring up the speaker?
  • AUDIENCE – Want Audience Shots? – showing emotional reactions (Laugh, engaging or crying – YES please!)
  • VOX POP – Want Vox Pop? – Interviewing Audience Members and getting testimonials pre or post event?
  • LIVE FEEDBACK – Want Immediate “Buzzing” Feedback from Organiser or Sponsors?
  • B ROLL – Excitement building ‘Behind the Scenes’ shots? – Speaker getting ready, Room/Audience getting prepped that you can voice over
  • FINAL CUT WORK – Do you want much Post-production work & Editing or just the raw footage?
  • DELIVERY – ON a file sharing platform or a physical Digital Hard drive
