These are only a few of the updated features of the camera, but what does it mean for your conferences and productions?
Well as a start there are no more annoying tape changes so we will never miss that important 30 seconds of your speaker when the tape runs out and needs changing.
We can also speed up the delivery of the footage, being able to convert it onsite or do a short transfer across to our computers for a quick author, all this speeds up delivery of your footage to get it either into the hands of the editors or your hands. and whats more the NX5 comes with a backup record device onto SD cards – this allows us to ensure that even if data failure occurs you never loose your footage
The extended optical zoom from 12X to 20 X also allows us to get better closer shots of your speakers at conferences or better shots for your corporate videos,

When you are looking for a video production company to shoot and edit your company’s marketing video, live news broadcast, or informational video, it is a good idea to think about whether you will need high-definition video or just standard definition video. Standard definition video can be a little less costly, but sometimes HD is going to be expected by your audience. There is no question anymore if high definition televisions, videos, and computer screens are going to be adopted universally. Every household with a little money has a high def TV. People expect that the television channels they watch will be available in HD, so this means that the commercials, special events, and short segments of news on those channels also need to be shot in HD video.
If you are creating an informational or training video for your company, you may decide that HD is not necessary. New employees are unlikely to complain about the quality of their new boss’s television. You also probably won’t need high def for a video that is only going to be viewed online. As long as the video is a good quality when people hit the “full screen” button, it should be sufficient.
If your video is going to be viewed on a television, it is safe to assume that some of those are going to be high def TVs. Therefore, if you do not want to lose a potential client through the change of a channel, you will need to shoot in high definition. If you are going to be broadcasting live via satellite or fiber optics, you will also need a high def Ku-band uplink truck. This will be what broadcasts your event to your medium of choice, whether it is a webcast, cable television, or satellite television.

Video production is the process of producing a video that usually has both audio and visual representations. While some videos are home videos produced for fun, most are videos that are produced for commercial purposes, like movies, advertisement videos, and music videos. Video production is also done for corporate purposes.
There are many things to consider in the production of a video. During the pre-production stage, the budget for the production of the video has to be determined, since the time spent on production can prove costly. Greater time spent on planning and organizing the project would help in keeping the costs low in the long run. One estimate of average production costs put a range of $1,500 to $5,000 per finished minute. The production cost depends on the location, time taken for completion, the equipment used, and the involvement of the production team in the making of the video. Plus, there are always the unanticipated expenses.
The production process starts with setting up the equipment needed for the shoot. Some of the necessary equipment includes a camera, tripod, teleprompter, monitors, power supplies, jib, dolly, and other essential accessories. The next stage consists of setting up the lighting. This is an important stage since lighting should reflect the mood intended for the scene. At this stage, the director gets involved to ensure that everything is in place to conduct a smooth filming. The audio stage is when the various pieces of audio equipment needed to capture and record audio are put in place. The final stage is when the actual filming and taping of the video takes place. This is the stage when all the visual and audio components are put together.
Even though video production is the actual stage of producing a video, the two other stages of pre-production and post-production are equally important. The pre-production stage involves conceptualizing, scripting, and scheduling. The post-production stage involves the off-line activities of editing and duplication.

This could either be through a watermark in your video or through a URL in the description. With the latter though, be aware that if someone syndicates your video and not the description, viewers won’t know where to go.

Video is a powerful and engaging way to communicate within your organization. Some examples:
1. Local Heroes. Highlight the people that move the company forward, who make a difference and who add character and vitality to your organization. (Not just the executives.)
2. Internal Case Studies. Video is a great way to model behaviour and show (rather than just tell) how and why business practices help make everyone’s job easier.
3. Employee orientation. Either professionally produced by video production company or employee generated – video is a great way to get people to listen and to understand.
4. Tell your story. If you are blessed with great communicators at the helm then you are well ahead of the game. If not, video is an excellent vehicle to remind your employees of your core values, your business objectives, your commitment to the community and the environment and most importantly, why your employees should be excited about their future with your company.
5. Events/Conferences and Trade shows. Events and conferences are a great opportunity to capture what is going on in your company and in your industry and to communicate this knowledge with your employees.
6. Customer Testimonials. Of course customer testimonials and video case studies have huge value as external marketing tools but don’t forget to communicate these valuable stories to your employees.
7. Training Videos. Sales training, process and best-practices training, corporate governance and compliance , and Health and Safety are all areas that benefit from the use of video communications tools.
Video is a great way to tell your story and to engage employees.
