Make a 30-second professional video for only £195 + VAT!

CreationVideo offers businesses the chance to make a 30-second video in our Chiswick studio.

Your video could promote your current offer or special announcement; the content will be… You!

Using our Autocue, you’ll read your 70-word script, addressing your customers directly.

The price includes up to 1 hour in our studio, editing and upload to YouTube – then you can embed the video on your own site. If you prefer not to use YouTube (because of its ads, or because it is blocked by many corporate servers), we offer professional video hosting from £15 / month + VAT.

On the spur of the moment yesterday, I filmed the Chiswick Great River Swim organised by Steve Newell – I used the 550d and as I wasn’t at the office, had no tripod or microphone with me.

So the whole thing was filmed handheld, using the camera’s onboard mic, and as it was a bright, sunny-cloudy day with a lot happening quickly, I decided to also set the camera to Auto, apart from focus.

I’m quite surprised at the quality of the result in the FLV that you can see by clicking the picture above – I don’t see any effect of the exposure or ISO changing automatically, even in the rushes.

The audio is not great, as there was a lot of background crowd noise – but I was surprised at how well the tiny mic coped for the interviews – in a quieter location it could certainly be relied on – especially for web video – if no proper mics were available.

The experience did prompt me to ask colleague Phil Bloom which Zacuto Z-Finder I should invest in – it is close to impossible to see focus in the otherwise excellent LCD, especially if you are far-sighted.

Really pleased to see the first of our pro-bono charity videos, for the Bedford Park Festival, has today gone live on local community website, ChiswickW4.com.

Further films will be added over the next few weeks, raising awareness of the festival co-ordinated by BBC Media Correspondent Torin Douglas.

These productions also mark the start of our new offer to local charities of free video production – more details later, but if you are a Chiswick charity seeking video production, give us a call.
