Need Ideas For Creative Marketing Video Production in Miami? Try a YouTube Podcast

November 3, 2019 By John Craven

Deciding the correct creative marketing video production in Miami for your content and your audience can be a tedious task. But for our newest project, the Rogue Leadership YouTube channel, this makes the youtube podcast the perfect solution.

Paul Rosenberg hosts Rogue Leadership. He is a consultant for fortune 500 companies, an author of Rogue Leadership (read the reviews on Amazon), and speaker on leadership.

Paul is expanding his reach by creating a YouTube channel and podcast. His podcast, called Innovators and Influencers, has a line-up of some great interviewees from leaders in mental health, the environment, entrepreneurship, including the winner of Survivor Season 3. 

Why a YouTube Podcast?

Podcast listeners are loyal, affluent, and educated. According to Podcast Insights, 27% of the US podcast listeners have a 4-year degree. Which makes the podcast portion of Rogue Leadership, Innovators and Influencers, perfect for this situation.

It is a growing field because the audience is there. According to Infinite Dial 19, 22% of the US has listened to a podcast in the last week. That is 62 million people!

By adding video to your podcast, you instantly expand the reach of your audience by providing more platforms to post it to.

I personally listen to a wide array of podcasts from politics, to stories, to marketing who have unique insights. I specifically subscribed to a YouTube Premium account to be able to listen to and watch podcasts. YouTube Premium has an additional benefit of putting your phone on sleep but still play the audio called Background Play.

Creating a YouTube Podcast

Using your phone’s audio recorder/camera and a $20 mic, you can easily create a podcast too.  The most important equipment is a mic of any sort because the clearer the audio the more likely people will listen. If you want to go a step further, a professional video podcast is a great option to give your viewers the best visual experience and reach to more platforms.

We were able to easily setup and create a professional look by incorporating a professional video camera with an HDMI, rode boom mic for clear sound, the black magic intensity shuttle, Zoom software, and a light that we bounced of the wall for a soft look.

Zoom.us is a great piece of software because you have the ability to interview people remotely, use a HDMI camera of your choice, record the conversation, and it is FREE! Wow!

Additionally I use Quicktime to record my screen of the interviewee. When I record on Zoom, it has this feature that automatically edits the video between Paul and the interviewee. I like to have the option to cut between the 2 people.

After we finished recording, we back up all of the footage using a raid hard drive and dropbox.  Then we edit it together using Premiere Pro, and add some branding graphics to create a professional look.  This includes an intro and outro motion graphic (possibly with music), and a lower third.

It’s finished!

Now you can export the video (as well as audio only versions) and upload to a number of platforms.

As we start launching Paul’s Innovators and Influencers podcast, we will outline the steps that Paul takes to get it seen by people.

Behind The Scenes with a Miami Video Production Company

March 2, 2018 By John Craven

Being a Miami video production company, it is important for people to see our process.  Here are some behind the scenes pics from our most recent project with GetAbstract. We were tasked to create a series of six short videos to be advertised on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc. The goal of these videos is to show the ways different demographics can use the GetAbstract app.

To get to a completed video involves many steps and includes getting many people to align to achieve one goal. As a result, these projects would never be completed without the help of many wonderful people working behind the scenes, so here are some pictures from our 3-day shoot.

Day 1

First of all, there is no better place to start a shoot at a coffee shop. Our first location started at Lee & Marie’s Cakery in South Pointe Dr. In this scene, actor Chad Nifoussi plays a small business owner of a surf shop.

Then we headed next door to F1RST Surf Supply Co.

Actor Chad Nifoussi discusses different surf board options with Actress Nicoletta Hanssen, playing a surf shop customer.

Next door to the surf shop isone of the most beautiful beaches in South Florida South Pointe Beach. The crew Art Director/Wardrobe Stylist Kristina Kitchen, Makeup Artist Jan Tinkley, and Camera Assistant Richard Lopez look on.

Day 2

For day 2, we headed up to Aventura. Actor Jeff Joslin played the the day-in-the-life of a corporate executive.

Day 3

Finally, for day 3, we were back down in Miami to work with actress Chelsea Rose Amoroso. She played a day-in-the-life of a college student.

Chelsea is a really good athlete and it shows in the picture of her running next to me as I rollerblade with my camera rigged on a Movi motorized gimbal.

We wrapped our final location at the MetroRail station at University of Miami.

Real Estate Aerial Videography: Getting Creative

December 20, 2017 By John Craven

Iris on The Bay is a high-end townhome community. One of the best features is the waterfront property and docks for your boat. We wanted to get creative with our Real Estate Aerial Videography, so we decided to film one-shot that showed every feature of the townhome community. Starting with the most important feature.

The Challenge:

The plan is to have the drone start flying about 5 feet above the water (to get a peaceful water shot) fly backward revealing features of the property until fevealing the whole property at 400 ft above the property.

With a long (1 minute 30 second) aerial video I am at risk of having the video be boring, so when it works out it becomes a great feeling of accomplishment, so the right music and incorporating quotes.

Adding Titles to Real Estate Aerial Videography

The Solution:

We starting at just few feet above the water, and slowly fly within a few feet of the building to reveal the modern architecture, and then quickly fly to just under 400ft revealing the whole property alongside the beautiful bay in less than a minute. It was a difficult aerial shot but I couldn’t have done this without collaborating with Richard Lopez of Lopez Productions who is an amazing drone pilot with the technical skill to pull off such an incredible shot.

Conclusion

The most rewarding part of the creative process is when we have no idea if the concept we’re filming is going to work or fail; a creative leap of faith.

Enjoy the video!

Getting creative real estate aerial videography should tell the “story” of your property and match your brand. Hw do we do this?

Real Estate Drone Videography: How We Establish The Location

July 19, 2017 By John Craven

Using real estate drone videography to establish the location of a property is pretty standard when it comes to creating real estate videos. This video was different because the location of the property is AMAZING and the actual property needed some work. So how can we create a compelling video?

Luckily, working with Ines of Miamism, who is a visionary with marketing a home, creating a concept is a breeze.

“So story would be about transportation, views, culture” and that would end the part of the email that described the new property for her client.

From there, Ines, left it up to us to fill in the blanks and create a real estate video that told the story.

Real Estate Drone Videography | How We Establish The Location

The Challenge:

Story is a really important aspect when it comes to our real estate videos.
We explore the story by asking ourselves various questions. The main question being;

1) what would the potential buyer be interested in when purchasing this property?

In this case, this property, located on the 29th floor, was all about its surroundings; transportation, views, culture. The challenge came when having to tie these subjects together in a way that was fresh, clear, and concise.

 

A post shared by Visual Popcorn Films (@vizpop) on Jul 13, 2017 at 11:01am PDT

The Solution:

The drone was the tool that was able to bring the property and transportation, views, and culture together in a way that is fresh and also communicate to the buyer what the lifestyle is like in the center of Miami.

Real estate drone videography can get boring really quickly, so it is important to use it in a way that tells the story of the property.  Being creative with the camera angle, height, and movement of the drone is the most important to keep our content staying fresh.

Enjoy the video!

Good real estate drone videography should tell the story and match your brand. How do we do this?
