Capture Video produces a full range of videos.  In a typical week, we will edit a short informational video consisting primarily of animated titles to be used in a presentation, we will videotape a live training session and prepare transcriptions to go along with the DVD for reference, we will videotape and edit a short promo for a website with client testimonials and titles and then we will work on one of several larger projects that we often have circulating on our editing computers.

For example, every year, PRIMA (Public Risk Manager’s Association) hires us to produce their annual award winner’s video for their award gala in honor of that year’s Public Risk Manager of the Year. So that the hundreds of people in the audience can understand what made that year’s winner the right choice, they have Capture Video produce a 4 – 6 minute “day in the life” style video, highlighting the award winner and his public risk management achievements.  This is more than a one day project. There’s a lot involved in producing this kind of video.

For example, travel. As the Capture Video producer for PRIMA, I have traveled to St. Louis, MO, Knoxville, TN, Fairfax, VA, and Conchord, NC to spend a day or two with these wonderful people.  This year, I got to spend the day with Bill Kostner, in Lincoln, NE.  As much as I love to travel, traveling for work does take planning. There’s my schedule to consider, the award winner and his or her colleague’s schedules, and flight schedules.  The upside is I have gotten to go to some awesome locations (really – they’ve all been great!) and meet some truly fantastic people, which makes the jet lag a little more bearable. Still, next year I am keeping my fingers crossed for Hawaii! (more…)
