Team Video Production - Melbourne and Sydney

For a complete change from the usual indoor Team Building activities, how about developing a Team Video production Melbourne or Sydney.

We offer other unique team Building activities in Melbourne and Sydney including Corporate Sailing Regattas Melbourne and Sydney, Yacht Charters Sydney and Melbourne and Team Building Cooking Classes Melbourne and Sydney.

Participants learn the importance of working together to work together to produce their own Video promoting the team or the organisation in one of the most exciting and innovative projects they will ever undertake.  

Some Team Video themes include:

  • Promote the teams purpose or role in the organisation
  • Introduce team members and their backgrounds, special skills and talents.
  • Develop a Corporate Video for sales campaigns or promotions
  • Produce a training video for a product or service
  • Showcase company executives or customers
  • Just a bit of fun for the next team gathering or conference

You've always wanted to be on the "big screen", well here's your chance. Building a team video is a collaborative project involving many aspects of team skills.  

Roles for team members include:

  • Director
  • Camera Operator
  • Sound Engineer
  • Lighting Director
  • Script supervisor
  • Location Manager
  • Props Manager
  • Wardrobe
  • Actors and spokespeople
  • Special Effects and Stunts

Teams can be made up of between 4 and 20 members, in single or multiple roles as called for by the script. This can be a challenging project and will highlight the utmost importance of the teamwork to produce a professional result.but it's also a lot of fun.

Designing the Course

Each course is designed specifically to meet the needs and objectives and time constraints of the team.   The course is normally run over 2 days, but can be run in a single day with a bit of pre-work and preparation.

The Planning Process

The first task is for the group to choose a theme from the options provided and decide on the key messages to be presented by the team video.

The team are guided through a rapid script development, which is

then turned into a storyboard showing scene by scene, the

camera framing, dialogue, action, background ounds/music/effects, props and location requirements.

Once the team have an understanding of the detailed requirements of the film shoot, roles are allocated to individuals who set about gathering the materials they need, or familiarising themselves with their responsibilities for the shoot.

A number of collaborative meetings between team members need to happen. The director will need to meet with the actors to discuss the approach to dialogue and action. The lighting people will need

to collaborate with camera operators. The wardrobe manager will

need to collaborate with the props manager - how many sets of sunglasses and black hats do we need for the "Blues Brothers" scene?  

In some cases locations need to be secured - maybe an internal meeting room, or a restaurant owned by a friend.   

A shooting list is prepared and the team goes into rehearsal - everyone has a chance to learn how to contribute effectively to the final result.

There is no room for "prima donnas" on our production set -

everyone needs to understand their role and appreciate the

importance of every component in the final production.   Like

everyday business, there is not a lot of time for second takes -

you either get the shot, or you don't.

The exercise concludes with the set wrap-up celebration and production de-brief.   "Rushes" or un-edited video scenes are played back to the team during the de-brief.   This is always an exciting and fun part of the process.

The video tape is then edited by our staff and depending on course structure, either presented the following day, or at a team

screening organised at your office shortly afterwards.

The Goal

The goal is for individuals to come together as a team, just as happens in Hollywood on a large movie production.   Very often movie making is a collaboration of people who have never worked together.

Each member of the team undertakes something completely new to them.   This creates a level of uncertainty or discomfort, and means developing a reliance on team members to support them in achieving their roles and responsibilities.  

The end result is a Team Video that can be played on DVD or on computer, ideal for your next team meeting, conference, presentation, intranet, website, or to take home to share with family and friends.    

This experience has been proven to be one of the most exciting and rewarding team building exercises ever developed.   A Team Video is a great way to break down barriers between management and staff, or inter-departmental walls.

The Course

We are not trying to develop a Hollywood Blockbuster, but we are capable of developing a more than acceptable Corporate Video, Sales Presentation, or short clip that demonstrates the team's ability to work together under pressure, and have some fun.

The team will experience the fear of undertaking what to them will seem like an impossible task, but learn how to break it down into a manageable project and with teamwork, build a more than acceptable result.

They will see that the Director (or Manager back in corporate world) is only as good as the cast, crew, lighting, sound, script etc., allow him or her to be, and that working as a team is the most important

factor in being successful.  

Sample Schedules

The sample schedule is for a 2 day event where we start from scratch and develop a total theme and script.   A shorter one day event will require pre-planning and can be found on the next page.

The course can be managed as a one day event provided a theme, key messages and script can be developed before the event.   We will work with you to develop this and a storyboard prior to the event.   The storyboard will also highlight additional equipment/props and resources required which can be organised and transported to the venue for the activity.

Sample Team Video Production Schedules

At every step our instructors will be guiding the process.
