Production Optimized: Shooting More Successful Videos

Getting more bang for your buck has hit every level of every industry. Even video production teams are looking for different ways of creating low-cost, high-quality video, targeted content that can be used for several different audiences.

Production teams already shoot a mixture of targeted and generic material as part of the filming process. During the editing process, the different segments of the video (i.e. targeted and generic) are spliced together to create a succinct video that conveys the intended message and serves to entertain the viewer.

Think of all the different takes or scenes that are involved in filming, only to be discarded in the editing process. What if we were able to save this material for later use and possible monetization? It’s time to look at video production differently in terms of segmented content that can be easily spliced together to present a targeted message, which involves shooting stock video and targeted material.

But what about highlighting what the production team does best – being creative? ‘Personalized video’ technology streamlines the segmenting and editing process so that the same production team can fully focus their energy on filming and the creative process.

Production teams already know how to think about targeting, about how to shoot multiple versions for specific audiences, and they know how tricky it can be to keep track of more than a few threads and edit them into separate versions. Immediately upon using a personalized video platform, they realize that they already have the skills to make much more finely detailed targeting, many more variants, and much more finely structured versions because personalized video tools allow them to keep track of things, work on multiple versions simultaneously, and there’s no need to spend ages editing all of those versions. And they are now spending their valuable time thinking about the task – creative time, instead of technical drudgery doing the editing. With personalized video technology, the editing phase goes from utilizing the brunt of their energies to autopilot.

Freeing up creative minds makes them more creative. These video production teams are exactly the types of early adopters that can make the most of what personalized video offers because they already have the right mind-set.

If you shoot lots of original video material, personalized video technology could make you more productive and more successful.
