Video Production

Craeve helps take your video productions to the next level.

Prior to our on-site setup with you, please confirm or purchase these steps below.

  • Ensure that your location where you will be doing your filming will have a strong Wi-Fi network and access point
  • Buy cameras and tripod setup necessary (see purchase list) – you may mix and match tripods based on your potential video use case. For example, you may select 1 floor stand and two table stands for more kitchen closeups.
  • If needed, buy an iPad to control the cameras
  • Buy Micro SD memory cards, if you want local device backups of each filming session
  • Download the MEVO app on your iPad
  • Upon our initial setup visit, we will help you connect your cameras in the app and update camera firmware if needed

Prior to your first production, the Craeve team will help assemble your video assets. These can include a variety of screen elements that can increase the production value of your video or live stream. During our setup and initial discussions with you; we can help you determine the best elements to use during your specific broadcast.

Screen Overlays

Screen overlays, with or without text, allow you to transition between segments or being your live stream with a cover image. You can also use Screen Overlays to present data to your viewers.

Lower 3rd Graphics

Adding a lower 3rd graphic allows you to introduce topics or speakers on the video or live stream. This may simply be a person’s name or title; or it could be any short amount of text, like a new topic you are discussing. A lower 3rd graphic can also include an image (like a headshot, logo or similar image in a square format)

Corner Bug

A corner bug is simply a symbol, typically a logo, that floats above the video in any of the four corners of your footage. This can act as a brand presence for you on all your videos or live streams, or allow you to highlight one of the brands you represent.

Over the Shoulder Screens

Over the Shoulder screens are similar to what you might see on the nightly news. This allows you, as the speaker, to remain the primary element on the video; but “over your shoulder” (left or right) you can place additional information in the form of images.
