When we talk video strategy and marketing to our clients on what works, a lot of the times people don't realize we also do it for our own business because we know what works and what we're doing, so why wouldn't we?

We've had leads contact us and even had a couple question, "well, how do we actually know your video strategy and marketing works?" My reply is almost always, "well, how did you find us?" Most of the times they're like "touche!" And the reason is, we implement what works because we're also looking for results and clearly our clients want the same type of results as well.

In this photo, I was actually showing clients an example of my own short form video I created for branding, awareness and marketing and the structure we had in mind to help them when it came to the scripting for grabbing attention.

As video marketers, if we know it would help our clients, it'd be crazy not to utilize our own strategies to help our own business as well.

We definitely practice what we preach and we'd hope others do the same!

Another example of filming in a tight space but we made it work.

In this behind-the-scenes shot, our backs were against the wall, the conference table couldn't be moved, we couldn't even fit all of the equipment we wanted to use (such as additional c-stand, boom pole, additional lighting, etc) but we made it work regardless.

We'll post a snippet for this video shoot soon so make sure you follow so you don't miss out!

07/05/2023

When it comes to video production, a lot of people don't realize how much time goes into the actual setup. It's much more than just setting up a camera.

In this case, often times setting up for interviews or talking head videos, it's setting up multiple lights, main audio as well as backup audio, of course the camera (usually multiple cameras) and with this project, a teleprompter and lastly, the location we're filming in.

When it comes to the location, we almost never film on a plain wall as it usually doesn't help visually with the messaging, which means we often move things around, add things like props, etc to the background to make the framing of the shot look that much more visually pleasing.

Speaking of location, after we set up a majority of our equipment, in this shot, we actually had to relocate to another part of the building because, well, multiple reasons.

One that included the electronic shades being broken for the windows, which was half the room, so we couldn't control our lighting since it was sunny, then rainy, then sunny and then cloudy, which would've affected our entire video.

But that's all part of adapting when you're on set and we made it work!

06/17/2023

When it comes to video production and filming locations with our clients, sometimes what people don't see is the tight spaces or challenging environments, but at the end of the day, we always make it work since the most important thing that needs to show is whatever is in the frame, which our client. And we always make our clients look good in frame with the background!

In this behind-the-scenes photo, we were filming in a tight office space with limited options but filled the background with the plants and books, added background lighting and made it work for this talking head video.

And believe it or not, this wasn't even the smallest space we've filmed in!

06/12/2023

Lately, we've worked with a bunch of clients and it was their first time being on camera. Often times people are nervous but some of the people we've worked with, they were absolute naturals when the lights and camera were on them.

Although, we've had clients, including this testimonial, say that we helped put them at ease when they're on camera, we definitely can't take all the credit.

When our clients talk about things that they are passionate about, that they love, and clearly have tons of knowledge on, when they speak on it, it comes out naturally and you can definitely tell the difference.

So although we like to be professional on a personable level so people feel comfortable with us, which translates to them being more comfortable on camera, when they're already so passionate and knowledgeable on what they're saying, you would never know it was their first time on camera!

So to all that don't give themselves enough credit, you did great!

12/31/2021

Thank you ALL for helping make my 2021 an awesome one! We truly appreciate you all! There were way too many people to thank individually so we created this video to thank you guys!

We hope you all had an amazing 2021 and hopefully 2022 will be even better! Happy New Year everyone!

We're realizing when we mention we're video strategists, a lot of people aren't fully sure what that means exactly. Some ask if we actually film, edit and produce the videos or if we just strategize and/or help with the video marketing side of things.

Well, to sum it up, it's both! We wanted to create this short video to help answer what a video strategist actually is and briefly discuss the difference between that and a videographer.

In case anyone is wondering, everything included in this video was filmed and edited by us. We're only mentioning that because we know a lot of people would include stock footage in their posts, which we did not.

Speaking of, maybe that topic will be our next video post. :-) If anyone has any questions we can help answer through video, please comment below and we'll try to create a video about it! Thanks!

Here are some more screenshots from the video we shot at Regis College.

06/01/2021

The eye in the sky on a client shoot. It's still amazing to see work like this in person and the work is just so causal to them!

05/27/2021

to last month on set with Main Paige Media at Regis College filming various videos including this talking head with a teleprompter!

05/25/2021

In case you didn't know, when it comes to making a decision about a product or service, 9 out of 10 consumers say videos help them with their choice.

Help them make their decision easier by utilizing videos strategically within their marketing efforts!

05/24/2021

Some screen grabs from the videos we shot at Regis College (swipe for more).

A little behind-the-scenes story: We finished shooting b-roll and afterwards a few college students saw us with our video equipment and asked if they could be in the video too.

My response was: " Where were you guys 20 minutes ago? We could've used you guys for that video!" thinking we had wrapped up filming b-roll for that day.

At the time, we didn't need anymore footage, then after the last interview of the day, we actually needed more and these same students happen to be passing by us again, waved at us saying bye but then we waved them over and we got them in the video!

Always fun, they were awesome and good sports!

05/13/2021

to when we were filmed in a lab before the pandemic with masks and booties on. No, we didn't wear hairnets though.

This is just a snippet but you can see the full video on our website.

05/06/2021

Excited to share a couple of quick screenshots of a client testimonial interview we filmed of a general contractor discussing their experience with working with their subcontractor (our client).

This was all shot on a construction site, which made things a little tricky but overall, we made it work! We look forward to sharing the video soon!

If you're a business/company, you should know how important client reviews are. But having a video testimonial of your client is way more beneficial and effective because they're describing the experience, it's helping build trust by showing who is speaking and with b-roll footage, it helps visually reiterate what they're describing within their experience.

Let us know if you need help! https://www.chazefilms.com/contact/

04/30/2021

to when we filmed this talking head marketing video.

Here is the behind-the-scenes on how the setup looked... we'll post a snippet to this later.

As you can see, we worked in a tight space but was able to get the framing of this shot to look good. We always make sure we capture main audio (lav mic) as well as backup audio (shotgun). In addition, we positioned the camera and subject so we can have bokeh (blurred background) so the attention is all on the subject and we also moved the furniture around to get this shot.

These are some of the things that we do in addition that people don't know we do. 😊

A short snippet of a talking head video we did for an NGO, the DAB Foundation.

"When I think about the most important aspects of working with clients, trust is number one. Without a doubt. Establishing trust with a client, having a rapport, understanding each other's working styles... especially from my point of view, understanding the clients needs. I see myself as an expert consultant, so every client, every home is a unique experience." This is a snippet of a Brand Message Video we filmed and created for a client. I wanted to share this specific part of their video because this is what we do with our business and with our clients. We build relationships and try to give a pleasant, unique experience. Since we help our clients create solutions to their pain points or challenges through video strategy, we're often working with them on their projects for months to get them the results they're looking for, which is why building a rapport, understanding each other's working styles, etc goes such a long way to be effective, efficient and have fun in the process. Similar to our client, as a Video Strategist, we're also expert consultants rather than just someone who produces professional videos. Can anyone else relate to this with their business? #minorityownedbusiness #minoritybusiness #bostonbusiness #bostonbased #bostonvideographer #bostonvideoproduction #b2bmarketing #marketingconsultant #consultant #videoproduction #videomarketing #videomarketingexpert #videomarketingstrategy #clientwork #newenglandvideographer

No one should surround yourself with "yes people", you need people there to tell you the hard truths so you can learn and grow from that. If you never learn or even know about it, how do you grow? We were on an entrepreneur podcast where we discussed many topics. The link to the full podcast is in the bio for those that want to listen.

Free Promo Video For Small Businesses Impacted By Pandemic

We have all been impacted by this pandemic and I wanted to do my part to give back to the community and help a couple of local Boston small businesses (when it’s safe to do so) create some sort of promo video FREE OF CHARGE to help them market so they can promote themselves to try to obtain even more business. In case you’re wondering how video would help small businesses, here are some useful video stats: - Businesses who used video grow revenue 49% faster than non-video users - 54% of consumers want to see more video content from businesses they support - 93% of businesses reported gaining a new customer as a direct result of a video posted on social media - Businesses using video show a 66% higher average website conversion rate - Social video gets shared 1200% more than text and images combined. - 90% of customers say videos help make buying decisions The type of video will vary depending on the small business but it would likely be a promo video up to one minute in length. If you’d like to see some of our work, you can visit chazefilms.com, social media @chazefilms or my personal IG @jasonjaymedia. I would love to help everyone but realistically, as a small business owner myself, I simply can’t, which is why I narrowed it down to two. I don’t know how many people will respond but if more than two, I’ll be randomly picking to keep it fair because we all have been impacted so who am I to choose who should get it over others. If you are a small business in the Boston area that has been impacted by the pandemic, please contact us by filling out the form on our website at chazefilms.com/contact, selecting “SBPG” as the project type and telling us about your business so we can learn how we may help. If you know a business interested, feel free to share this video or tag them below. But please have them fill out the form on our website so we can track them. DEADLINE: June 1st, 2020 with random selection of the two businesses shortly after. Please let me kno

Our Drama Short Film Snippet - "I Believed You"

In case you didn't see our previous post, we released our first drama short film (featuring the talented Anjali and Rafael) and submitted it to a film competition. Here is the first minute of it but if you'd like to see the full 3 minute short film submission, here is the link: https://www.rode.com/myrodereel/watch/entry/7922 We're hoping that everyone takes a moment to vote for it! You have two more weeks to help us vote! Please let us know your thoughts (without spoiling it for others who haven't watched it yet)! We'll be posting shots that didn't quite make the cut on the final version (though, we're considering releasing an extended version) as well as some behind-the-scenes shots like this. Make sure you follow https://www.instagram.com/jasonjaymedia/ on IG for those behind-the-scenes shots! #shortfilm #myrodereel #videoproduction #videographer #actor #actress #director #drama
