Video Release Form
Every person appearing on camera must sign a video release form, which authorizes DMP to videotape the person and use their image. A copy can be found here: Video & Photography General Release Form
Video Script
A video script is a vital component to the pre-production process. Although we do not require a script for every production, it is highly recommended.
Media Production can provide scriptwriting and/or conceptualization assistance for your project. Please contact us for more information. This sample gives an idea of the visual and audio components associated with a video project: Sample Video Project Script
Videotaping Guidelines
- Wardrobe
To make the best visual impression, on camera talent should generally wear professional attire, unless the production does not call for it. It is suggested that talent not wear a white shirt or high-contrast color combinations (i.e. a white or off-white shirt with a dark jacket or dark tie). Pastels and dark colored shirts/tops are suggested. Wider stripes are recommended as opposed to shirts/tops with thin stripes – either horizontal or vertical. It is also suggested to avoid highly reflective jewelry such as solid gold or silver chains, necklaces and earrings. - Locations
DMP has a television studio, which consists of two backdrops and a green screen, which can be used for any production. Additionally, we provide videotaping services on location (outside the studio). Please contact us for a consultation on what type of setting will work best for your project.
