How to Prepare for a Corporate Video Shoot in Cincinnati
Planning a corporate video shoot is exciting — but it can also feel overwhelming if you’re not sure what to expect. Whether you’re filming a CEO interview, a brand story, or a product demo in your Cincinnati office, preparation makes all the difference between a smooth shoot and a stressful one.
At Losproductions, we’ve worked with companies across the Cincinnati area — from startups in Over-the-Rhine to large organizations downtown — helping them create professional, polished videos that build trust and drive results.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to preparing for a successful corporate video shoot.
🎯 Step 1: Know Your Message
Before the cameras roll, you need to clarify your core message. Ask yourself:
What’s the goal of this video? (Recruitment? Sales? Training?)
Who’s the target audience?
What action do you want viewers to take?
Knowing your purpose helps us craft a shoot plan that aligns with your brand voice and gets you results.
🧑💼 Step 2: Choose the Right People
Pick team members who are comfortable on camera, can speak naturally about your company, and represent your culture well. For interviews or testimonials, we’ll coach them so they don’t need to memorize anything — just speak confidently from the heart.
Pro Tip: Limit interviews to 2–4 people per shoot to keep things tight and focused.
🏢 Step 3: Prepare the Location
Your space says a lot about your brand. Make sure it reflects the look and feel you want to present.
Here’s how to get your Cincinnati office or facility camera-ready:
Declutter desks and tables (less is more on camera)
Check lighting — natural light is great, but we’ll bring professional lights
Minimize noise — notify your team so conversations and background sounds are limited during filming
If you’re filming off-site, we can help scout a visually compelling location that fits your brand.
👔 Step 4: Dress for the Camera
Keep it clean, confident, and on-brand. Solid colors usually work best — avoid busy patterns, logos (unless it’s your own), and all-white outfits.
For a team shoot, communicate a general dress code to ensure visual consistency (e.g., business casual or matching company shirts).
🎬 Step 5: Trust the Process
On shoot day, we handle the tech, timing, and creative direction. We’ll guide you through each shot and keep the energy relaxed and professional.
