The Video-Less Video - Getting the Point Across Through Graphics, Text and Voiceover


Have you ever seen a video that doesn't have, well, video? Of course you have, you probably just didn't think about it!
Many commercials rely solely on graphics (like illustrations, animations or photographs), moving text on the screen (called "kinetic typography") and voiceovers to communicate key ideas. For some types of businesses, creating a video-less video can be a great way to wade into the world of video on a budget. Learn more on video production austin.


When It Works
I recently produced a video-less video for an IT company. Instead of showing their servicemen at work (bo-ring!) we created a fast-paced and slick piece that got right to the point by listing the services they offer like "Data Recovery", "Virus Removal" and "Same Day Service 24/7". The video had tech-y music, a fast pace and was nothing more than words, their logo and contact information. The end result: a piece that reflects their culture (fast, efficient, high tech) not only in terms of content but in style as well. Read more at http://videoproductionaustinathome.simplesite.com

Video-less videos are also great for communicating more complex ideas, for instance "Earn 10,000 Frequent Flyer Miles between April and June and Get a Free Night at a Hotel or a First Class Upgrade." What was that again? Hearing and seeing information makes it easier for the viewer to understand it the first time.

It's All About the Details
When you're creating a video-less video, you need to compensate for what's missing. Often, videos are edited with what's called "natural sound"; the little noises that match the action in the video, like footsteps or fingers typing. Without these elements the piece feels hollow, so it's important to incorporate great music, an energized voice-over and sound effects.
If you're looking to clearly explain what your business has to offer on a budget, a video-less video may be the perfect solution.
