What's the point of renting a video studio? Isn't that just an extra expense? 💸

Unnecessary? Sometimes. Expensive? Nope 🙅‍♀️

Some videos are much better when filmed on-location. But there are times that filming in a studio is not only easier, it can also be cheaper 🤯

If you are filming a talking-head interview, a studio is the prime spot. A video studio (not a photo studio) is built with sound in mind. So that means you will save time by not having to re-record every answer because someone walked by the conference room or a phone rang on the other side of the cubicle. Offices are a great work environment, but they are terrible for recording clean audio.

Studios are also great if you want a specific setup like a green screen. Green screen shoots work best with the right lighting and the right backdrop. Wrinkled sheets and overhead lighting make for very difficult keying (aka removing the background). Filming in a studio with a built-in green screen means your editing will be easier, and the video will look better.

But Angela, you said it could be cheaper than filming at your company's office? How?

Besides saving you time (which we all know means saving money), studio rentals come with major perks. Our studio rental is only $50/hour, and includes grip gear. But the real savings comes when you hire us to film. On-location packages have a minimum number of hours, since setting up lights take a long time. But when you book one of our in-studio packages, the lights are preset before you arrive. That means we are to book filming in the studio by the hour - not by the day. For $1,000 our one-hour package includes both filming and editing. When you are looking for a quick, affordable video, our studio packages are the way to go. Learn more about them on our website!

Is your business a ghost? 👻

In many cases, your online presence is even more important than your in-person site. I know, it's one more thing that a busy business owner has to worry about. But did you know that 76% of consumers look for a company's online presence before visiting in-person?

So how do you boost your online brand presence?

💻 Know your audience: This is key to all parts of your business, but especially when it comes to online marketing. Don't spread yourself too thin. Just focus on the few key places that your target audience lives. B2B or professional services work best on LinkedIn, while retail works great on TikTok. Make sure your online content addresses your audience's pain points in a way that resonates with them.

💻 Optimize your website: SEO is the name of the game. Websites with video receive 157% more organic traffic from search engines. Besides having a front page "about" video, your website should be rich in SEO key phrases, easy to navigate, and fast to load. All of this will boost your search engine results and help potential clients connect with you.

💻 Stay consistent: From colors to messaging, your brand needs to be consistent. Make sure your brand voice is strong throughout all of your online presence. The biggest tip that all my clients hate to hear? One social media post won't get you to go viral. You need to post consistently on your platforms. That means 3-5 times a week.

How do you find businesses that you want to work with?

T-Minus 16 days until the first World Cup game in Philly ⚽️

Philadelphia is no stranger to making history 🔔 This month we welcome soccer (or football as most of the world refers to it) fans to our amazing city. And yes, I know we get a bad wrap. But if there is anyone in the world that can understand a passionate fanbase, it's soccer 🥅

With an influx of visitors, our local businesses are hoping to see an influx in customers. But what are Philadelphia small businesses doing to prepare for the World Cup?

🏟️ Philadelphia Local Businesses Should Target New Audiences
Keep in mind the fans coming to our city. The matches playing in Philly this year include:
Côte d'Ivoire vs. Ecuador
Brazil vs. Haiti
France vs. Iraq
Curaçao vs. Côte d'Ivoire
Croatia vs. Ghana

🏟️ Ramp Up Marketing with Soccer Tie Ins
Offer game day specials, host a watch party, or offer Philly-themed takeaways so that fans can take home a piece of the event.

🏟️ Do Your World Cup Research
Extended hours, FIFA Fan Festival, and long list of various events - it's crucial to do your research ahead of time. Know all the new and temporary regulations for the month, and make sure you're prepared for a busy season!

Our blog post last Thursday was all about that ways that local businesses can prepare for the World Cup 2026. Check out our website to read more!

If you could get tickets, which game in Philly would be the one to go to?

No, we are not always serious 🤷‍♀️

Yes, we are always professional. But professional doesn't mean you can't have a little fun.

We know a lot of people are apprehensive when it comes to getting the picture taken. We get it! There's a reason why we're a behind the camera. But a good photographer will help pull you out of your shell. Feeling relaxed on camera is more than half the battle. That means sometimes you have to get a little silly.

Recently we did a photo series for a writer. We tried different outfits, different poses, and yes - different props! Sometimes when you're feeling a little awkward by yourself in front of the camera, it helps to grab a prop.

If you could pick any prop to be in your next photoshoot, what would you choose? The more outlandish, the better! 🥸

GOAL! ⚽️

The World Cup comes to Philadelphia this month. With the much anticipated international event, Philly businesses are preparing for an influx of visitors. With so many new people comes opportunities to connect with new customers.

So how do Philadelphia local businesses prepare for the World Cup?

⚽️ Philadelphia Local Businesses Should Target New Audiences
Soccer fans are their own demographic. While your small business may not be soccer adjacent, it doesn't mean your audiences don't overlap. Look into the specific games playing in Philly and see how your business can better cater to those fans.

⚽️ Ramp Up Marketing with Soccer Tie Ins
This one is easy for Philly restaurants, but any business can get into the soccer spirit. Host a watch party, offer game-day specials, create one-of-a-kind Philly art, or offer local services that cater to the International crowd.

⚽️ Do Your World Cup Research
The world cup is an International, multi-week event. That means there is a lot to know. Make sure your business is prepared by researching game schedules, local events, and new regulations (like permits or extended business hours). The city will be filled with people from all over the world, so be aware that visitors may have different customs than Philadelphians are used to.

What is pre-production? 🤔

Simply, it's all the things you do to prepare for filming 🎥

Our all-in-one projects include planning, filming, and editing. For the planning phase, Angela works with you to figure out exactly what we'll need for the project. Based on what you want your video to do - whether that is sell, educate, or connect - we create a detailed plan for production. Some clients opt for additional services such as script writing or content planning, while others come to us with the video already planned out.

We assemble our team, hire any additional talent, and create a filming schedule. Want to find out more about what we provide during the production phase of corporate video production? Check out our website or DM me to schedule a call!

Get ready for a little movie magic 🪄

The Angela Wolf Video studio has a green screen wall that we use for corporate video production when the client needs a specific backdrop. But how do we do it?

Modern chroma keying is when you tell the video editing software to remove (or key) one specific shade of color (or chroma). You can use any color, but blue and green are the standards. First, those colors are not in your typical skin tone. If you wanted to remove red, for example, the person's rosy cheeks and lips will disappear as well! Second, cameras have specific color sensors. A quarter of the sensors are red, a quarter are blue, and HALF are green. That means that the camera is extra sensitive to green light. That is why green is used more often over blue for chroma keying.

💡 To get a clean green screen effect, you need an evenly-lit backdrop. As I mentioned earlier, the key to keying is only having to remove ONE specific shade of a color. So shadows or bright spots on the backdrop affect the color the camera sees.

✂️ During post-production, there are a few ways to approach the edit. I like to key out the background before I color grade the footage. The flat profile of log footage keeps the background clean. That's why this first shot looks so dull - I haven't "added" in any colors yet.

🌈 After I key out the background, I color grade the footage so it looks true to life. I adjust the size and placement of the subject, and add the background behind them.

We love saving money. But sometimes cutting costs can be expensive 🫣

We've all seen corporate videos that turn DIY into DIWhy? A bad video is worse than no video at all. Your social media represents your brand - you don't want it to look cheap.

So how do you get professional corporate video production quality while making the video on your own? Here are the three key things to watch out for:

🎥 Harsh Shadows: Shadows are used to signal sinister, creepy, or foreboding themes in films. When the tone and content does not match, it feels cheap.

🎥 Audio that is Hard to Hear: While our ears can naturally filter out background noise, cameras can't. Muddled, distracting audio is confusing and detracts from your video.

🎥 What's in Focus: Cell phones have very deep focus so that it's easier to film without missing the action. With everything in frame in focus, your brain doesn't know what it's supposed to focus in on.

In our blog post last week, we talked about how to fix these DIY don'ts. These tweaks can be tricky, but they are well worth the effort to make your videos look professional.

What is the one thing you find the most tricky when filming a video?

PODCASTS 🎙️

Podcasting has become a huge industry. And while there are many people who use podcasts a specific revenue generator (think ad revenue), podcasts have become an important tool in marketing. There are a couple of different approaches you can take:

1 - Produce your own industry-specific podcast
2 - Be a guest on another brand's podcast
3 - Pay for ad time on another brand's podcast
Bonus: do all three!

While producing your own podcast is certainly the most time consuming of the options, it also can yield the best results. But don't feel as though you must dive head-first into production. We suggest starting off as a guest on a few industry podcasts to learn the ropes and see if you enjoy the process. Once you get more comfortable, think about if you have the time and energy to put into a full production.

But what does podcasting have to offer as a means of marketing?

🎙️Trust - 55% of Gen Z find social media not trustworthy. Podcasts, on the other hand, 66% of listeners find that podcasts hosts the MOST authentic media figure, being 23 times more trustworthy than social media!
🎙️ Leadership - Whether a guest or a host, being an expert on an industry podcast means you showcase what you and your team has to offer in your niche.
🎙️ Discovery - Not only do podcasts have a built-in audience, but they also capitalize on SEO and key phrases. This means your brand shows up in more searches.

What makes a video feel professional?

When you're watching a video, your brain takes in a multitude of information. Those sends subconscious signals to help you quickly interrupt what you are seeing. Because so much of what we experience are things we don't even think about, it can be hard to determine WHY you feel a certain way when watching a video.

To the casual viewer, the video may feel spooky. Maybe it there's an uncanniness about it. Sometimes the video is confusing, even when the dialog makes sense. We can watch a video and instantly tell it's amateur, but not know WHY we feel that.

At Angela Wolf Video, LLC , it's our job to make videos FEEL right. So here are our 3 tips on why DIY corporate videos look cheap, and (more importantly) how to fix it:

🎥 Harsh Shadows are Confusing your Perception - shadows are used to signal sinister, creepy, or foreboding themes in films. When the tone and content does not match, it feels cheap.

🎥 Audio that is Hard to Hear is Unclear - good audio is hard to capture. While our ears can naturally filter out background noise, cameras can't. Muddled, distracting audio is confusing and detracts from your video.

🎥 Too Much of the Shot is In Focus - cell phones have very deep focus so that it's easier to film without missing the action. With everything in frame in focus, your brain doesn't know what it's supposed to focus in on.
