Talking-Head & Educational Video in Somerset West — the craft

Two-camera setup and the edit that hides the joins

Where the brief and the room allow, we shoot two angles — a wider frame and a tighter one — so an answer can be trimmed without a visible jump cut. Where only one angle is possible, we cover the cuts with B-roll of the subject at work: the site walk, the sample drawer, the plan on the table, the hands on the material. That B-roll is shot at the same session and is what separates an educational video that feels considered from a webcam recording with a logo on it. Titles, lower thirds and end cards follow your brand, or ours if you do not have one yet.

Questions, not scripts

Reading a script to camera is a specialist skill and almost nobody has it. We work from a question list built with you a few days before the shoot: eight to fifteen questions, ordered from easy to hard, each one framed so the answer is a complete thought without needing our voice in the edit. On the day we ask them conversationally, let you restate an answer as many times as you want, and mark the take we want as we go. The result sounds like you talking, because it is — just without the ums, the false starts and the sentence you abandoned halfway.
