Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does filming take?
- Most projects can be filmed in around 2-3 hours. Having two cameras recording different angles simultaneously can reduce the number of takes and speed up filming, as can having a larger production team.
- Can you help inexperienced speakers feel comfortable on camera?
- This is a very common request. Our team will create a relaxed environment and offers guidance to help speakers feel at ease. Usually after a couple of takes, speakers will settle in. For very nervous speakers, we suggest having a very small production, such as one operator and one camera.
- What’s the ideal setting for a talking head film?
Choosing the right setting can make all the difference for producing a professional talking head film. Here are some factors to help you select the best location:
- Depth of Field:
It’s good to position the interviewee away from walls to add depth to the frame. A foreground element and a visually appealing background will create a dynamic composition. - Lighting:
We aim to avoid filming directly in front of a window or bright light source, which can cause overexposure and silhouette effects. The best lighting setup includes soft, even light from the side. If natural light isn’t available, we provide professional lighting solutions to achieve a polished look. - Acoustics:
For indoor settings, choose a quiet room with minimal echo. Rooms with curtains and soft furnishings will improve sound quality. We can supply acoustic panels to enhance audio quality.
- Can you provide an autocue?
- Yes, we offer autocue (teleprompter) services to ensure you deliver your message confidently and seamlessly. Our equipment is discreet, user-friendly, and compatible with various scripts. Whether you’re an experienced speaker or new to on-camera work, an autocue helps keep your delivery natural and consistent.
- What types of microphones would be used for the talking head film?
Clear audio is essential for a professional talking head video. We offer several microphone options for every scenario:
- Lavalier Microphones:
These are small, discreet microphones clipped to the speaker’s clothing. They can be completely hidden if desired and are excellent for capturing audio as they are close to the source. - Boom Microphones:
Positioned on a boom pole, these are ideal for capturing clear sound without visible equipment. The microphones are better quality than lavaliers, but if the speaker is moving, you would need an operator to move with the subject. - Desk/Podium Microphones:
For interviews or panel discussions, these microphones work well in controlled settings. These are often used in recordings of podcasts.
