Things To Remember When Shooting Your Corporate Video Abroad
Thinking of shooting abroad? Don’t forget to be cautious when stepping into uncharted territory.
Whenever anyone travels abroad, it’s always to be mindful of where you’re going and how you can make your trip as smooth as possible.
When it comes to shooting corporate videography/photography abroad, the perimeters become even more strict.
Shooting abroad means doing ample research on the intended place to shoot. Understanding the cultural, political and even literal climate of the country or region is especially essential for shooting a video production abroad. Here we’ve compiled a short list of things to keep in mind when setting out to shoot corporate video abroad:
Here we’ve compiled a short list of things to keep in mind when setting out to shoot corporate video abroad:
1. Legalities

Pay attention to a country or region’s law when it comes to shooting video or photography in public. The last thing you want is to have your equipment taken away by local authorities because you failed to look at privacy laws prohibiting public shooting. Instead, do a bit of research on the country to find out if open photography is acceptable.
2. Climate

In a previous post, we highlighted how temperate can affect video camera equipment. Stark dips or hikes in extreme temperatures can take a serious toll on your camera. Be sure to understand how to keep your equipment safe in extreme weather.
3. Safety

A bit of an obvious, but keeping your equipment safe while you travel is probably the most overlooked precaution of them all. Finding somewhere safe to store your equipment is of the utmost importance. Whether it is in a safe or tucked away in a locker, we’d still recommend keeping the most expensive bits of equipment with you at all times. Consistently backing up content onto multiple external hard drives (and then storing them in separate areas) is also another way to ensure the safety of your footage.

Understanding Language in Corporate Video
In our multicultural society, understanding #language and #culture are integral to reaching wide audiences. In Canada, most national companies demonstrate their outreach by appealing to both English and French audiences.
However, as our diversity expands, it’s become more clear that companies need to cater to bigger audiences. This, of course, cannot be done without speaking their language.
#Subtitling is an excellent way to expand your audience within your #corporate #video. After your #footage is shot and a rough #edit is cut, a good #translation #team is critical to putting together key elements for your #editor to work with. At this stage, a translator will be able to create a #chart to lay over #text, so the editor will be able to match each word sentence by sentence. It’s important to note that while you don’t necessarily need your editor to understand the language, it would be beneficial to have a translation partner present. The editor will put in sub-titles over the original language in accordance with the timing of the video. This is probably the most #cost-effective way to use multiple languages.
Sometimes, this backfires. MadTV’s Bobby Lee made the perfect parody of when subtitling timing is done incorrectly.
Another great way to incorporate language is through #voice #dubbing. By adding additional #voiceover over an existing #script, it is easy to add in other languages. This is especially easy when using b-roll with no on-camera #talent. This way, the #voice #actor can simply read their lines in the preferred language and lay it over the footage.
Voice dubbing becomes tricky when there is on-air talent. Dubs then become dependent on the actor, and require more precision from the editor. One cost-effective way to do this is through a process called time syncing. This is the process in which an editor takes the pre-recorded track and syncs the audio with the on-camera action. While it doesn’t make for a perfect frame-by-frame dub, it does get the job done when attention to specifics aren’t necessary.
Another more popular method of voice dubbing we’re familiar with is a process called lip-syncing. For this, the #voiceover actor must come into the #studio to #record in another language while watching the original clip. This is to ensure that a clean, specific dub is done to match the facial expressions and lip movements of the original actor.
Here at Key West Video, we offer a variety of speciality services including transcriptions, translating, closed captioning, and of course subtitling and voice dubbing. Contact us for a quote today!
