Introduction

We asked Paul Levy from www.livetech.co.uk to talk to us about his website developing company and help us promote our new video format for all to see. He talks to us about his company and what they have to offer the industry and the internet. Paul’s company, Livetech Solutions began in Colwyn Bay in a small office and since then has expanded throughout the website industry growing ever larger. At this present time the company is situated in Marina House in Deganwy Quay sitting right next to the large harbour with lovely views and a great atmosphere.

Description

Livetech Solutions is a company devoted to website design and hosting. Paul talks to us about the type of projects they encounter and complete and he also gives us a brief outline of his staff and their level of skill. Throughout this video, Paul is talking to us whilst both clips of him and still images of the company headquarters are shown. The audio of the video plays throughout the whole video so there is always information being spoken from Paul even if he cannot be seen. The images were taken on the day of the interview to show the the viewers what his place of work is like for anyone who is interested in what a website development area looks like and how the work place is set.

The video shown above is still primarily a test to make sure the new format worked correctly but the plan is to have the audio from the video with Paul’s information about the company playing throughout the video but having still images as well as the interview clips of him talking and some other possible video clips that show around the chosen company to help advertise their area. The reason we wanted to change the format was basically so we could have shorter videos but with potentially more information being transmitted across the video. For example, if we had both interviewer and client talking on camera then the questions and answers could take up around ten minutes, where as this new format is just having small sound clips of direct information about the company gives a shorter video keeping the viewers watching; and potentially have more vital information transferred towards the viewer.

We have designed a new format for our videos. The new addition to the videos is an image that has been designed with our company logo on it that stretches across the video as an overlay. This will hover above the video and last the duration of the clip. This image will also have some information about the company that is being interviewed including the name of the company, the name of the person that is being interviewed and the company’s website or contact details depending on which one they would prefer.

Below is a screenshot of what we believe the final layout will look like when the banner has been tweaked to fit the various interviews correctly.

The image above shows a screenshot from one of the upcoming videos. The image in the video clip is the outside of the TheTalkies new headquarters in Deganway Quay. The new feature of the video is the bar across the bottom that was designed in photoshop and then imported into the movie editing software and used as a title overlay. As can be seen, this video is just a brief clip about TheTalkies and their new environment so where the information about the TheTalkies can be seen will be where the other companies details will replace them. But TheTalkies logo on the far left above the other information will remain there as a watermark showing that the video is made by TheTalkies but interviewing the other company that will be included upon the image overlay.

The above is still a work in progress so there may be some various changes along the development path. But at the moment we are happy with the design and think it will be a great addition to our videos. The main reason we believe it is a good addition is the fact that it gives the video a little bit more visuality, by this I mean something else to look at. Whilst the video is playing and the viewers are watching and listening the may hear something they are interested in and want to check the website in which the company being interviewed owns. With the new banner across the bottom of the video, the viewer can see the website and the company name throughout the whole video and they won’t have to wait until the end of the video to see any information that could be shown in the credits or as a final section of the video.
