31 Aug Safe Social Distancing Video Production
Two Big Trends Due to Covid-19 and Social Distancing
These are tough times. People have lost jobs and savings. People can’t see friends and family due to social distancing. But there may be a silver lining during this pandemic.
There has been a whirlwind of creativity in business. Corporations are reinventing themselves, offering new services and products to cater to their customers during this pandemic. Entrepreneurs have developed Covid-conscious products, such as disinfecting toasters, self-timing soap, virus-killing fabrics, and open-source apps to help us stay healthy.
Aligned with this entrepreneurial fervor is another big trend.
Everyone is turning to media and the internet to find comfort during this period. Due to Covid-19’s social distancing requirements to stay home, Nielsen has reported a 60% increase in the amount of video content watched globally.
People want to be entertained and inspired with strong video content, making it an excellent time to do promotional video production to express your new customer journey.
Teachers and musicians are also adapting, offering services, classes, or concerts virtually. Though many professionals appear to be ‘live streaming,’ they actually are not. Their ‘live stream’ is pre-recorded video production that’s been edited to eliminate lag, sound and tech problems.
To support you during this challenging time, Magnason Film is offering a 20% discount for our video production services.
Take a look at some of our latest projects during the ongoing pandemic:

Our Safe Video Production and Social Distancing Protocols
We’ve put in place our own video production and social distancing protocols to ensure our clients and our teams remain safe while creating video.
- Before each shoot, our director of photography will check his temperature the day before and the morning of the shoot to ensure he has no Covid-19 symptoms.
- During the shoot, the director of photography will wipe down all the equipment with disinfectant wipes.
- The director of photography will put on a sterile face mask and gloves before entering the location and will carry spare face masks, gloves, hand sanitizers, tissues and disinfectant wipes.
- Everyone will sanitize their hands once per hour while on location and follow strict social distancing guidelines of at least six feet distance between people.
- If we are doing an interview or filming a host, the talent will remain at a safe six-foot distance until they are required on set. The talent will also do his or her own on-screen preparations, such as hair and make-up, in a separate room.
- During the shoot, the director of photography will sterilize the boom pole microphone and self-placed lavalier microphone.
- The client will receive a still photo of our set up for approval before rolling the cameras. This gives him or her the opportunity to provide feedback and make changes from a safe distance.
- The director of photography will set up interviews virtually through Skype or similar software.
- The client will be able to watch, participate and give feedback remotely during the entire shoot.
- Once filming is finished, our team will upload the footage and the editing process can begin.
