Is Video Really That Scary? Testimonial from ZiaBia

A lot of people find the thought of being on camera really scary, in a previous post Sunjay chatted about his top tips for being confident on camera but we thought it might help to hear what one of our clients had to say. We chatted to the Vicky & Debbie from ZiaBia about their experience of working with us and the reality of being infront of the camera.

Life Media are a great company to work with. We got to know them really well over the last year and a half, and had seen a lot of films that they’ve done for other clients, so we were really impressed with the service. We decided to use them to film our film, and since then we’ve been able to take them to our clients, and they’ve done a really great job for them as well.

I think we were very aware that we hadn’t really done any marketing, we’ve been in business for five years, and a lot of our business have been referral-based, so through people we know referred into us, and that’s how we grow. But it was quite organic, and we wanted to start to create more of, I guess a story of who we were, when we did the testimonial event for BMC it was a really good way of showing people.

The scariest bit was actually saying we were gonna do it. Cuz then that was, it was gonna become real. And I think we knew it was gonna happen for a long time, but putting it to the back of our mind. A lot of people who have been filmed kept saying it’s not that scary when you get into it, and I think that we had a list of everything that we were gonna be asked in advance, so for us, being event managers, is all about planning, so having that little bit in advance meant that we felt more comfortable with what we were gonna say, and a bit calmer. When it actually started happening, and we met the team on site, and started actually being interviewed and followed around, it was a lot less scary than what we actually thought it was gonna be. I think we actually enjoyed parts of it as well, which is something we didn’t think we would say. It’s just something we’re really proud of. That we’ve actually done, something that we didn’t think we would.

It captured the event really well, in terms of what we do for our clients and what everything that goes into it, so it was just amazing. It was great to see how the day was captured. It really was what we wanted our clients to see, and it was just fantastic. We’re so proud of the ad. I would definitely recommend Life Media to others.

And there you have it! Being in front of the camera, isn’t as scary as you think it would be! Worried about budget? Fidel chatted to us about whether he found video was worth the money.
