What I did
For each project, I like to know the purpose and how it will be used. Unlike some of the other videos on my site, this project was only going to social media. Most social media content is viewed on mobile devices, which means a vertical frame is best.
This was a highlight reel for an eBook that was downloadable on the CSG website. The eBook was created by a designer on the Creative Services team, Chad Greene, while I created the video. Chad and I collaborated on the concepts, but I credit him for coming up with the idea of unwrapping the content inside. That was an idea I could run with. Because the nature of our work our goals were slightly different; we worked separately but met regularly to review each other’s work and pick out the best parts to share across the campaign.
Besides TikTok, the vast majority of social media users watch video content without sound. That was the main factor in deciding to not have a voice-over for this project. Everything important needed to be read on screen rather than just in the captions. Add a music bed with a driving beat (for those who are watching with sound), and you have yourself a great video.
