This is a bit of a ‘pat on the back’ post. I feel we are entitled for a bit of self-indulgence, after yet another lockdown. Dealing with our clients, sometimes we get feedback. Usually, we get feedback for our productions in the form of making corrections or changing something that stakeholders in essence, don’t like. It’s not personal – it’s business. Our goal is to make them happy anyway. So, when a sign off happens, it’s a bit of an internal celebration – a big YES! We also get paid…anther reason to celebrate 😊 Recently, I had been thinking about […]
Ask us for a quote, book us before December 2019, film in January 2020 and SAVE 40% Networking for me (Rochelle) is one of the enjoyable parts of my business…I love meeting new people. Whilst working on our Sunbury Local Businesses project and meeting up with one of the Melton Council staff at an event, we had the opportunity to create some videos that were geared at supporting Melton’s local businesses. Venture Melton is run by the council, and is a local group of savvy business owners who come together to learn, be inspired and network. Our first networking […]

Working with past clients is always a joy. Recently we filmed with Bureau Vista for a safety & awareness project. This is what they had to say: I first met Rochelle at my first role in Chambers Institute when we produced a promotional video with an inspirational story line for International students coming to Melbourne to study. It was a successful project and Rochelle and Dean were great to work with, which is why I contacted Preface Films again. We worked together again recently on Bureau Veritas’ internal training and awareness video to promote safety […]
May I please ask you a question or two? Why are you considering creating video content for your business? Is it because you have developed a well thought out plan to engage or influence your organisation’s stakeholders or clients in their buying / decision cycle, or is it because of all the hype you are reading about video? If it’s because of the hype, you are not alone! While there are valid reasons for the massive publicity campaigns currently driving the message to add video to your communication strategy, this message may not be as relevant for some organisations as […]
It is widely reported that video content is an increasingly preferred method for people to consume information about your brand or organisation when they are online. Whether you or your team have embraced video as part of your strategy or not, you may yourself be aware of the suggestions to include captions in your videos (which makes perfect sense and enables you to have your videos watched from devices when fellow commuters or partners do not want to be disturbed while watching their favourite shows). You may have also been hearing the most recent news on the many features available […]
Have you made a significant retail purchase lately? As a rule, I avoid the shops, as I am a busy business owner and my time is precious. As a video producer, I’d like to share a recent purchase experience where I found myself smack bang in the buyer journey experience. I enjoyed this purchase process for two very different reasons. The first reason was because I needed to update some of my tools of trade, and the second reason was because I experienced the third step in the buyer journey, which I often share with clients when we talk video […]
We are living in interesting times where we are required to consume a lot of information each day. Whether it be on your device, television, on the way to work, when you put petrol in your car . . . there’s a lot to take in. If your role is to help your brand, service or organisation get noticed by the right person, how do you combat this? It’s critical to get the right people to notice you, and yet, and with so many messages coming at people every single day, you need to do this well to […]
Why it is Important to Understand the Buyer Journey There are 3 steps in the Buyer Journey including: 1. Why – The Importance of Emotional Connection 2. How – Getting the Right People to Notice?! 3. What – The Final Rational Decision to Buy / Act (AKA conversion!) I like to visualise the 3 steps in the buyer journey as a timeline (as per the diagram below). While there are not specific dates, there is a natural order that shows us when a client travels that road, creating a visual that helps my clients understand the need to plan appropriate […]
Everybody knows that staff training is important for any business. Right? After all, if you don’t train new staff successfully then they won’t be effective, they won’t be engaged and may feel overwhelmed. The question is how do you train and educate new and existing staff in a fun, memorable and cost effective way. The answer for many businesses is video. Video has the advantage of training and educating the viewer, while also engaging them. This means your staff will retain more information and will be effective sooner. Here are the reasons why videos are ideal for training and […]
This year, Rochelle will take the stage to discuss how businesses can use video as part of their marketing strategy. Providing practical advice, she will share her knowledge of what types of video you should be sharing and ‘when’ in your strategy timeline. What I find is that many people don’t realise that there is sort of a timeline of what should be shared first and so forth. To be truthful, it wasn’t until I did a webinar series run by Ben Amos from Innovate Media, that it all made sense. I hope to explain and give some examples of […]
