At Hunting With Pixels we’re big fans of fastBREAK; it’s a monthly breakfast event at the powerhouse museum where a number of speakers do five minute presentations on the same subject. So what turns you on? Last month Annie from Vibewire managed to get us to do one; the title was ‘What Turns You On’. The subject couldn’t have been more apt, since we just returned from the US doing shoots for our new video blog ‘Whatever Trips Your Trigger’ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyChjr5dpYE
Here at Hunting With Pixels we are proud members of Business MasterMinds; a community of business people who share ideas, experiences and knowledge. Sharing your clients’ or members’ experiences and impressions in a client testimonial video can create powerful and authentic content. Business Master Minds is a great example of a business that generates real advocacy and video is the tool to share that advocacy with a wider audience Have a look at a video that we created for them that tells the story of the Business Mastermind experience, through the reflections of current members. http://vimeo.com/26301450

The inaugural Short Takes event held at Hunting With Pixels in Newtown was a great success. Video as a business communication tool was the focus and a workshop from business coach Hugh Todd kicked off the evenings program. Hugh tackled the subject of pitching your business effectively and was followed by Business Master Minds founder Angelique Milojevic who presented on the power of authenticity in your communication. Next up was Hunting With Pixels creative director Robert Moorman who talked about how to get the best results from your business video. The last speaker was presenting coach Nigel Collin who shared some simple yet very effective tools for tackling the sometimes daunting notion of presenting to camera. Short Takers were then given the opportunity to get some hands on experience and to practice what they had learned from the presentations. Willing participants were given the opportunity to deliver their pitches to camera in the studio and received some more personalised coaching from Nigel. This jam packed program was punctuated by plenty of great food and drinks and the opportunity to network with each other and the speakers.

Hey Jack, Thanks for coming to Short Takes, we hope you got something out of it! Good on you for doing the test shoot, it’s always great to try things out and get some practical experience. I think starting with that big laugh is one of your keys to success in video. Let us know your thoughts.

Hey Jeff, Thanks for coming to Short Takes, we hope you got something out of it! Good on you for doing the test shoot, it’s always great to try things out and get some practical experience. I think a business like yours which is much about the service as it is the products, could really benefit from seeing the face behind the brand. Let us know your thoughts.

Hey Emma, Thanks for coming to Short Takes, we hope you got something out of it! Good on you for doing the test shoot, it’s always great to try things out and get some practical experience. So you are the one-take-wonder! You have a great presence in front of the camera and i think the through the lens test showed pretty clear results in your case. The challenge to create great video for you now will be to get the content right and nail a script and then to not lose your great presence when presenting the script. An autocue if you chose to use one can create obstacles to connection, but your tone is excellent. Let us know your thoughts.

Hey Mo, Thanks for coming to Short Takes, we hope you got something out of it! Good on you for doing the test shoot, it’s always great to try things out and get some practical experience. You had a great base presenting on camera already as we can see from the “before” takes, but i think in the “after” take you find the tone of delivery that’s just right for you. The hand gestures are great and with that tone your whole presence is very cohesive. With a little bit of scripting you could create some great video for your business! Let us know your thoughts.

Hey Kam, Thanks for coming to Short Takes, we hope you got something out of it! Good on you for doing the test shoot, it’s always great to try things out and get some practical experience. The through the lens test was good it showed that you have very strong connection with your eyes already. What is very clear though is the ‘after’ shot shows that you translate much better sitting down. It feels looser and more engaging as a result. We also felt that this kind of anecdotal approach to content worked well for you too, this may be something to consider when approaching scripting or presenting as it will help to find and keep that conversational tone.
