As a video production company with its own studio and in house green screen facility in Manchester Galleon Productions is ideally suited to help.  Using our skills Galleon Productions can script an understandable and interesting web presentation to enhance your website and give your organisation a human face.  Using our wide variety of available and affordable actors we can assist you in picking the right public image for your company.

Not only is the “look” of your web presenter important for your web pitch but special attention should be given to what they wear.  With a long relationship established with leading fashion and props services we consider every aspect that will make your web pitching video stand out from the crowd.

Using the latest post production software we can place your web presenter in a virtual environment that could be anywhere and anything.  The completed web video can then be given to you as a flash or shockwave file for immediate uploading or it can be handed to our web development team and uploaded straight to your server by Galleon.

Is the time right for you to take the plunge and dive in to the brave new world of web pitching?  Look at the short FAQ below and see if it’s something you should consider.

Why an online web presenter?

For a visitor to your site a web presenter is a means of adding a personality to your enterprise or organisation by making your company seem approachable, friendly and consequently more receptive to their needs. Psychological studies into online behaviour by web searchers endorse the fact that visuals on web pages are a keen motivator in getting them to connect with websites.  What better way to ease the viewer in then a personable web presenter to represent your company ethos and aims?  The advantages to businesses, especially ecommerce sites, are plainly obvious.

How can I choose the right online presenter for my business?

Like every other part of your organisation some careful thought should be taken in choosing the face that sends your message to the online world. In some cases you might want this to be yourself for the personal touch, but wherever possible we encourage you to use a professional. With 7 years in the market place Galleon Productions have a catalogue of trained professional actors and presenters of various ages and looks.  Our video production company would assist in finding the right one to represent and market your web presence.

How is it that the web presenter can stand against any back drop?

Basically our video production company uses “green screen”.  The web presenter stands in front of the green screen so that in post production all elements save them are removed.  Once the online presenter is standing with no other background our post production facility can place any virtual set behind them that best emphasises your product or service.

What kind of background should I have?

It depends on the product or service you’re selling.  Often the virtual presenter is stood in front of a company logo. Iit’s even possible to stand them against your web text!  Each has there own pros and cons so it’s important to think through every aspect of the web video, or better still talk to us.

Where should the host be on my website?

The best option is to have a web presenter on your home page who can direct visitors to your menus where they can learn more about you.  Then the same online presenter can be present on additional pages and summarise the information there in a relaxed yet informative web pitch.

How long should the video be?

Don’t be fooled by other video company’s overtures at web pitching.  We have a deal great of experience and know the pitfalls.  The biggest of which is the web itself.  Download speeds vary from place to place.  The longer the web pitching video the less likely it is to buffer on slow servers.  30 seconds to a page is really the most you can hope for to capture your web audience, we’re all familiar with the frustration for anyone waiting for a stop/start video and it’s not the place to put your potential customer for your web pitch.

This sounds expensive? How much will it cost?

Traditionally green screen is achieved by painting a wall (and often a floor) green and that green is then “keyed out”.  The paint itself is costly and the crew and kit to light it can be prohibitively expensive.

Galleon Productions have a solution. Using the latest technology it’s actually a lot simpler requiring less lights, less crew and a fraction of the preparation time.  A light ring is placed at the front of the camera and the web presenter stands in front of it.  Behind them is a special reflective cloth and the viewfinder and camera capture a pure green background.  In concert with ourselves you can choose the ideal background for them.
