MotionFish Media Project

It's been a little while since we checked in so here is what we've been up to in 3 nifty bullet points 😁

1. We've (MotionFish Editors) been editing a whopping amount of Online Courses that we filmed over the last 6 - 12 months... 🎬

2. Some of us actually managed to get out and have nice breaks over August and most of the team got to really chill out on holis abroad (🔥)

3. We've been testing out a lot of AI apps, models, websites... and what not AI over the last few months...

All this leads on to exciting new things coming soon 🙏🏼

Ps. Picture below is AI generated 😁 I like that beard 😅

Our clients love our clapperboard! It has that Hollywood feel 😅🎬🍿🎥

This will be a crackin' online course 🚀

Here we are filming a training video for the Perrin Technique in sunny Manchester ☀️.

(Yes, we know we slightly neglected our Facebook postings in 2023 but we've been busy! 🥳 🙂🤓💡🚀)

Do you find presenting to camera daunting? 😳 Yes, it can be pretty tough, right? Especially if you're not used to presenting! So here is something that can make it a whole lot easier.... 🙏🏼

Use an autocue! 💡

👉🏽 Autocues are basically a lifesaver (for some) when it comes to presenting online course videos. They help you deliver your content smoothly and without any hiccups. That means no more stumbling over words or forgetting important points.

👉🏽 But that's not all. Having a well-written script means you can record your presentation in one go, which saves a ton of time in editing. No more retakes or fiddling around trying to make everything sound just right.

The downside is...

👉🏽 You need to know your script well! You can't wing it. Practice. Or you might sound like C3PO. 🤖

👉🏽 You may loose some of your 'personal' spontaneous charm (yes we all have that!)

Have you used an autocue before? Curious to get your thoughts 👇🏽

Filming a recent online course for Morgan Muhwati with with the talented MotionFish videographers: Tom James and Julian Taylor

🎬 We had a great day filming an online course with the charismatic professional speaker DAVID HYNER 🦏

Great content, brilliantly delivered and very motivating stuff! 🔥

And no David is not telling off the camera operator for being cheeky (although it does look like it 😂). Thanks to the MotionFish Media Project CIC team Jack Corrie and Tom James (who also took that pretty cool photo below - 👇🏽)

🛑 We really love filming on green screen ✅ They can work so well if done professionally. 🎥 Plus they are ideal for online courses. You can film in your office, loft or lounge and create a course that looks totally premium and professional 🏆

(Unlike the Zoom blur-background-green-screen which sometimes looks like you are beaming up to The Enterprise 🚀 😀)

Below: We filmed Walter Blackburn - Business and Sales Relationship Coach delivering some top notch content on selling with Emotional Intelligence.

🛑 We decided to do a smiley selfie 😁 with our happy client last week while filming 3 courses in Worthing (Motionfish team and client) 🔥 🥳

🛑 Have you filmed any videos in your workplace? How did it go?
We recently filmed a tutorial video in a busy London clinic and this is what happened... 🤦🏻‍♂️

We needed to overcome so many challenges... 😨

👉🏽 It was very noisy (patients and traffic outside)
👉🏽 The room was too bright (sun coming in = different lighting)
👉🏽 The room was very small to film in
👉🏽 The presenter had to catch a flight after filming!

Thankfully the clinic staff were amazing and accommodating plus the MotionFish Media Project CIC crew where great at setting everything up professionally within all those constraints....

And the result looks amazing 🔥👊🏼

Unfortunately A lot of company tutorials look too bright, too dark, have wonky frames and are delivered with distracting background noises.

End result is companies create video content that looks unprofessional, is hard to watch and negatively impacts their branding.

So if you are creating client facing video content... either film it well or get it filmed professionally 🥳 🎬 👍🏼

Your thoughts?

Last week we had the pleasure of filming more online courses with Cracking Wellbeing 🥳 📌 Do you know how many people search Google for "online mental health courses"?

Answer:

1600 people search for online mental health courses each month in the UK.

Building awareness of Mental Health could never be more important.

We thought filming an online chocolate course was tough... Filming an online cake course is way tougher 😂

We filmed 5 cake courses last month and we can confirm:

They look and taste amazing! 🍰
