Customer stories, interviews, multicam
Testimonial & Interview Video Editing
An interview runs an hour and maybe four minutes of it makes the cut. Most of my time on these goes into the transcript, working out which four minutes those are and what order they go in.
I've done this with customer testimonials, executive interviews, admissions interviews and podcast conversations, single-camera and multicam.
What's included
- Transcript-based story edit from the raw interviews
- Multicam sync and angle selection
- B-roll sourcing and placement over the cuts
- Dialogue cleanup, noise removal and mix
- Lower thirds and a titles package
- Social cutdowns and vertical versions from the same interview
- Captions
Who sends me this
- Companies building a customer story or case study library
- Recruiting and employer brand teams
- Nonprofits with donor and beneficiary stories
- Podcasts moving into video
How it works
- You get in touch. Tell me what the job is. You get scope, a price and a date back before anything starts.
- You send the footage. The interviews as they came off the card, plus any b-roll and separate audio. No need to log the good takes first.
- First cut. You see a first cut early enough to change direction, rather than at the end.
- Revisions. Revisions until it's right. I don't count rounds.
- Delivery. Final files in whatever formats and specs you need.
Turnaround depends on the footage and how many versions you need, so I don't put a number on it here. Send your deadline with the job and I'll tell you whether it works.
Where I've done this
I cut multicam admissions interviews for Admit.me, taking an hour of raw footage down to under five minutes against a house style, for top US business schools. The Bonded By Blonde testimonial on this site is the same format at its shortest. I've also done multicam podcast video and audio for Improper Etiquette, and the Flanders anniversary film was built out of interviews.
