CSR Video Production: Backstage
Here at Alconost, we’ve started producing a new type of video: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) videos.
These videos enable companies that conduct CSR activities to put their CSR documentation to work, beyond using it for mandatory reporting.
With videos about the positive impact their company makes, they can enrich their brand communication, internal or external, with a CSR message. It’s the perfect way to win the hearts, loyalty, and confidence of different audiences that are vital for a business's sustainability and prosperity.
To start with, we outlined the basic requirements for the video by completing a brief, and we discussed a few small details with the video production team.
Within a week, the script was ready!
This is how some of the scenes of our future video were described in the script.*
* The images were added later, at the storyboarding stage.
Once we approved the script, the video production team started preparing the storyboard, selecting a voice-over artist, and choosing background music.
At the storyboard approval stage, some challenging issues popped up:
- How to seamlessly integrate the angular elements of a corporate style into the softer, gentler aesthetics of the video we wanted?
- Which flags should we feature to represent the video localization option?
- Finally, should we allow a potentially poisonous mushroom to appear near the end, or would an edible one be a safer bet?
The edible mushroom definitely makes more sense, but the QR code will fit better on the other one!
Does that sound weird? Well, it isn’t! We pay attention even to little things like that.
We sorted out those questions quickly, and the most thrilling stage started: the animation!
Watch the seed grow...
Time to harvest our crop!
Soon enough, we got our CSR video, and here it is!
Thank you for reading and watching!
We'd be delighted to assist you with making a video about your CSR activities!
