Behind the Scenes: Crafting a Professional Doctor Interview at Babson College

Preparation and Execution at Babson College

Skillman Video Group recently undertook a video production project involving an in-depth interview with a professional doctor, hosted at the scenic Babson College campus.

Unlike previous projects, this shoot demanded a half-day of intense activity, testing the crew’s efficiency and preparation skills more than usual.

Setting the Stage for Success

Preparation for this shoot was key, especially given the client’s specific requirements.

They requested a special blue backdrop to align with their company’s branding, which was vital for creating a consistent and professional look.

Thanks to thorough pre-shoot discussions and planning, our team was able to set up the scene swiftly on the day of the shoot, allowing us to focus on executing the production seamlessly.

Navigating Challenges with Teleprompter Technology

As with our previous project for Visual Foot Care, a teleprompter was integral to facilitating a smooth flow during the interview.

However, this time, setting up and operating the teleprompter proved to be a challenge.

The difficulties encountered underscored the importance of allowing ample time for setup.

This preparation was crucial not only for troubleshooting issues with the teleprompter but also for ensuring that lighting, sound, and camera settings were meticulously adjusted.

In-Depth Interview Dynamics

The interview with the doctor provided a unique opportunity to delve into complex medical topics, making the precision of the setup all the more important.

The teleprompter, despite its initial challenges, played a crucial role in keeping the interview on track and ensuring that the doctor could communicate effectively without being distracted by the need to recall every point.

Efficient Crew Coordination

The production team, including the director of photography, sound engineers, and lighting technicians, worked diligently to address any technical issues quickly and efficiently.

Their expertise was pivotal in transforming a potentially problematic shoot into a successful filming session.

This proactive problem-solving not only facilitated a smoother shoot but also laid the groundwork for a more streamlined post-production process.

Positive Client Collaboration

The successful collaboration between SVG and the client during this shoot at Babson College highlighted the importance of communication and preparation in video production.

By addressing the client’s specific needs and ensuring that every aspect of the production was aligned with their vision, SVG fostered a positive and productive working relationship.

Looking Ahead to Post-Production

With the filming complete, the project now moves into the critical phase of editing.

The footage captured during this efficient yet demanding shoot will be meticulously crafted into a polished final product that meets the high standards expected by both the client and SVG.
