Before we begin any production, it is critical that we meet everyone involved, especially the talent or the speakers.
Meeting everyone beforehand establishes a relationship between the video production crew and everyone else involved. Once everyone has become slightly more acquainted, everyone feels more comfortable in each other’s space, some productions go on for weeks! So, feeling comfortable is important.
In many cases, clients chose an internal company member to be the speaker for a video or film. This is already daunting, but now imagine having a stranger shining a light and pointing a camera directly at you. This doesn’t sound fun, does it? Meeting us takes away at least one of these stressors that the talent could be feeling.
Quick FYI: Howling Media does have a network of modeling/acting agencies and voice-over artists on our database, should you, the client, go this route, we will be able to assist in choosing the perfect talent for the production!
The best way for us to meet the talent is in person and without any gear. This way, we are talking to them as humans and not just the talent. If this isn’t possible, the next best thing would be a video chat or at the very least, a simple phone call.
If you have ever met me before, you know that I LOVE people and do my best to make everyone feel at ease. If not, I look forward to meeting you and working on your next production.
