Business Networking 101

06:00 Unknown 0 Comments

Working Wednesday: Business Networking 101

For most, when we talk about "Business Networking" it sends shivers down their spines. When you Google Business Networking the definition that comes up is "an effective low-cost marketing method for developing sales". To me that sounds dreary.

Yes, business networking is an excellent way to generate business development as people like to do business with people; but this does not mean it needs to be a feared, tiring and sometimes boring event. If this is how you feel, turn that feeling around and see it as an opportunity to meet "your" people. By this I mean the people who can help you and your business, or who you can help. 

At these events, meeting people, getting to know their company/service or product and listening to their needs, then explaining how you can help is much more favourable than having your polished sales pitch ready to throw at anyone who will listen. Show a real interest in the people around you and ask great questions, if you do this you will be more memorable.

The most important thing to remember is that "there is no such thing as a waste of time" if you aren't lucky enough to get a hot lead, or that big client you wanted, you have experienced and learned. For every person you speak to you become braver to initiate conversations, now don't "work the room" you are not there to gather as many business cards as you can physically fit in your pockets, you are there to strike up meaningful and lasting relationships with people. These are the people that will possibly refer you to a potential client.

Another thing to ease you into these situations is that even the most seasoned networker (you know the person I mean, they seem to have it together at all times and know exactly what to say and when, they are usually the people with a flock around them) are nervous too. You are not alone! But if you notice, these people smile and engage, they use that nervous energy and turn it into excitement, excitement is contagious. 

So, that event you don't want to attend, go. Wear a smile, know your service or product, show a genuine passion and enthusiasm, and listen to others. You'll leave a lasting impression which makes following up that little bit easier.

Happy Networking!

The Rise of Corporate Video

Working Wednesday: The Rise of Corporate Video


Corporate Video. I know what you're thinking... boring! I'm here to tell you it's not. As mentioned in a previous post 'Video Advertising, What's The Big Deal?' video is quickly becoming the best way to advertise and promote your services as well as to communicate within your establishment.

 Corporate videos have gone through an evolution of sorts, we started with shots within the office and people typing away, and a voice over that sends you to sleep, only to be suddenly awoken by the logo of the company to symbolize the end of the video and the end of your suffering. And now, the corporate videos are starting to be more interesting by having more variety in them.

However, this video for Risual takes it to a whole new level:

The Beauty of Film

Working Wednesday: The Beauty of Film

Filmmaking is an Art

Gone are the days of shooting on film, or are they. Now with an industry saturated with digital cinema cameras film has slipped to the sidelines. Discussions of film have divided filmmakers, with many stating that they can't tell the difference between shooting on film and digital, while the other side heavily disputes this.

With quick changing and developing new technologies, shooting on digital allows you to flex your creative muscles more, and make more weird and wonderful shots. Shooting on film can limits this.

Here is the trailer for Tarantino's new film 'Hateful 8' that was shot on 65mm.


Film or digital, its the people that make the picture, but film will always be that little bit more magical to watch, depending on what you're going for!

Here are also some stills our Editor took on the 1980's Yashica FR.

Making Content

Working Wednesday: Making Content 

Making the right content for your business is absolutely paramount. 

Marketeers want to tell captivating tales that entice the audience to want to know more, and thus more about the brand. Especially now that there are so many way of ducking and weaving out of having to be 'subjected' to advertising.

David Messinger explains it perfectly in his article "4 Lessons Hollywood Can Teach Brands About Winning Big Audiences" in AdWeek. He explains that marketeers could learn from Hollywood on producing innovative, mind capturing content. As, arguably, no one does it better than Hollywood

Online Distribution

07:26 Unknown 0 Comments

Working Wednesday: Online Distribution

After the release of our music video 'Touch U' our attention is now on online distribution.

There are many ways to maximise your distribution, but first you need to provide amazing content. Content that will inspire and make people actually want to share the video around. You can post your video everywhere, but if your content isn't all that, you will find it hard to get the views and your sharing potential will dramatically decrease.

Once you have settled on the content and shot it, you then need to make use of all your social media sites. A good way to do this is to draw your audience in before the actual release date. Don't just hit your viewers with the video, make them excited to see it. If your audience are excited, again they are more likely to share your video around. A very good way to build the suspense is to set a timer, or a countdown on your homepage.

Once you have succeeded in gathering a mini following, it's time to release the video anywhere and everywhere you can. For example a blog. 

Which leads me onto my last point. For those of you who missed Monday's post, may I please refer you to the video Below. Produced by Dragon's Egg, the official music video 'Touch U'.

This week has certainly been a busy one here at Dragon's Egg. We have been on and off set, in and out of the edit suit and all over the city for meetings. So it's with great relief that we get to sit down and recap on the things that made us smile this week.

2) This Advert: Make a Gorilla Happy


Bill Oddy stars in these quirky little adverts about The Gorilla Organization. The idea behind it is to bring more awareness to Gorillas and this charity, it works! By bringing the Gorilla into your habitat it really get's you thinking. So click on the link above, it will make you smile and think twice about the majestic animal!

3) This Documentary: Russia's Toughest Prison by the BBC

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04m3k1q


This documentary is truly startling. The subject is quite eye opening and depressive but the cinematography is just beautiful. The filmmakers have opened the lid on this prison and dove right in. You are quickly captivated and unwilling to lookaway. Watch for yourselves.

'If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working for it'


As we are slowing into the Autumn haze, it can be quite easy to put a little slack between you and your goals, as many will start to feel the change of season have an impact.

But pick up that slack, as the quote above says, if you are constantly thinking about it, keep working on it. Use the new season fuel your new thinking to push harder to achieve your dreams.

If your new thinking includes promotional videos for your business, don't forget we are still in our Autumn Discount phase, so get in touch to see how we can help you.

Friday Favourites: 8th October 2015

It's the end of the week again and time for our Friday post. We have seen and done a lot this week so it has been quite hard to pick only three things that have made us smile, but we managed, just! Without further ado below are our favourites!

1) This DJ: Ach Jr



This is a new one for us, this video is not film, fashion or advertising related, but it is music related. Meet 3 year old Ach Jr, he appeared on South Africa's Got Talent and received a standing ovation, watch to see why.

2)This Womenswear Walk: Tom Ford



Made by Nick Knight Show Studio, this video has a refreshing take on the catwalk, not to mention Lady Gaga! 

3) This Post: Adweek's 10 Most Watched Ads on YouTube in September



Adweek  is a great source of information, ideas, inspirations and comments on adverts, both on print and film. But this post on the top 10 adverts watched on YouTube in September is worth a read (and watch). 

These adverts are all different as they are promoting different brands, but they all have one thing in common, they captivate the viewer.

If you want an advert, talk to us, we are in the middle of our Autumn Discount.

Video Advertising, What's The Big Deal?

05:31 Unknown 0 Comments

Working Wednesday: Video Advertising, What's The Big Deal?

As we are fully into our Autumn Promotion on Advertising Campaigns, we thought it would be a good idea to really get into what video advertising is, and why you need it.

Many business, large and small don't factor video advertising into their marketing budget, this is for many reasons but the main seem to be because of cost and effect. There is a notion that video is for the large brands who have hundreds of thousands to spend on a video, and have enough brand awareness that they already have an audience.

However, neither of these points stand today. The world of video advertising has changed dramatically and the pros now outweigh the cons.


Why Video and Why now?

According to Cisco, around two thirds of mobile traffic will be video related in the very near future. YouTube sees around six billion hours of video consumed and more than one billion new visitors in just one month. And as read in The Gaurdian, seven in ten people view brands in a more positive way after watching interesting video content from them.

These statistics are all pointing heavily to brand videos soon being the first thing that consumers search for when looking into a business.


What Kind of Video Do I Need?

There are an abundance of types of videos a brand can use. Not all advertising needs to follow the layout of the 'typical' commercial you will see on television. 

Customer reference videos are a good start for promotion, they can include success stories and video case studies. These are great to install confidence in your brand as the consumer can see 'real' people who have used your service and are satisfied. It ignites the trust factor in your company.

General promotional videos include branded entertainment, sponsored video and of course commercials. These videos can be a little longer than customer reference videos, as they are more on the entertainment side then 'real time' success.

If your business provides a service or entertainment, event videos are ideal for you. The consumer will be able to see you 'in action'! They have the ability to see what they are investing in (whether its time or money) it provides transparency and again touches on the afore mentioned trust factor. 


Benefits

As mentioned above, the benefits of contemporary advertising are outweighing the cons. For example, time and target audience.

 Once you have uploaded your content online, your target audience can reach and search for it any time, day or night. Now with high speed streaming and downloading on devices, your video has the ability to be viewed by who you want at any time. No more scrapping for the 'prime time' spot on broadcast television!

Versatility is an excellent reason to produce video content. With social media sites now dominating a lot of the advertising space, you can share your video on many platforms. The more sites you upload on the more potential views, the more potential customers. And the best part, uploading your video is free!

Sharing potential is another huge pro to video advertising. Just like your content can be viewed any time anywhere, it can also be shared by anyone. This means that your video has the potential to reach millions in a very short space of time. As well as sharing, on many social media accounts consumers can 'like' and comment, thus your content engages with your audience. Engagement is key.

The general misconception around affordability is that you need to dish out tens of thousands or be a big enough brand that you already have a large following behind you. But that is now not the case. As there are now other ways of getting your video seen, you don't need to pay for expensive airtime. You only pay the cost of the production. Once it's finished it is up to you when you post it, what sites you post it on and how you share it. 

Video advertising is now accessible for business of all shapes and sizes. Whether you are a Butcher or a Beautician, Spa or Theme Park; we can advise, create and produce the right video for you and your brand.



So drop us a message enquiries@dragonsegg.tv and let us help you advertise!

Friday Favourites: 25th September 2015



Good afternoon all, 

It's that time of the week again, Friday Favourites.

1) This Music VideoTrailer: Touch U 




Of course coming in at No.1 is our trailer for the soon to be released music video 'Touch U' by Yashar Gasanov and Igor Arhipov. We shot this video in Belarus last month and have been adding some finishing touches to it back here in London. 
The official release date is soon to be confirmed.

2) This Documentary: Everything is a Remix




Thought you were original? Think again. Everything from technology to creativity is an idea that has been taken, adjusted and sold on. This documentary is definitely worth a watch.

3) This Advertising Campaign: Vacheron Constantin




I never knew the story of a watch could be so captivating. But this really is, you almost forget you are watching an advertising campaign as you get so wrapped up in the story.   



Have a good weekend!

Friday Favourites: 18th September 2015

1) This Festival: London Fashion Film Festival 2015


(the Astronaut that also 'attended' the festival!)

Of course one of the favourites this week is the London Fashion Film Festival we attended on Tuesday. As mentioned in our 'Working Wednesday' post, it was useful, fun and insightful. We recommend anyone looking to make a Fashion Film of their own to attend next year. The great thing was that anyone can submit, from students to industry professionals.

2) This Stabilizer: Artemis Trinity


Artemis Trinity is just a great piece of steadycam equipment. Because of its new way of stabilizing the camera, you can achieve a whole new combination of shots that were previously almost impossible to get. Watch the video below to hear from Curt Schaller himself on what the Artemis Trinity can do for you.



3) This Blog: No Film School


This blog is light-hearted, insightful and mostly fun. It  keeps you up to date with the latest technology, grants and releases and not to mention the great interviews.

Fashion Film - What is it?

07:08 Unknown 0 Comments

Working Wednesday: Fashion Film - What is it?




Last night we attended the London Fashion Film Festival at the very extravagant Mondrian Hotel, our main purpose was to see what others are doing in the world of Fashion Film. As it is a very new niche there is still a lot of freedom for artistic creativity and it was interesting to see how other Directors used this to their advantage.

As we are currently in post production for our own Fashion Film that we recently shot in Belarus, it was useful to 'scope out the competition' as it were. Last night showcased the whole range, from fashion documentaries to films that focussed more on the artistic representation of fashion and style than a heavy narrative.

The main questions that ware floating around last night was What Is Fashion Film? How do you define it? Is it a story? A piece of art? A commercial? Or a documentary? 

Our interpretation:
There is no blueprint for the right format, Fashion Film is what you make of it.

Friday Favourites: 28th August 2015

Friday Favourites: 28th August 2015

It's that time of the week, the time we share a few of our favourite things!

1) This Camera: Arri Alexa


We just finished shooting on the Arri Alexa for our Fashion Film. It's heavy and a little on the complicated side to work with. However, it has made our Friday Favourites because the quality is something to marvel at. For what we were trying to achieve it was perfect.

2) This Effect: Liquid Nitrogen

For our next production we are using liquid nitrogen to add some more depth to the narrative. Liquid nitrogen is a favourite in not only the film industry but in the theatre too. And for good reason, many use it to portray an ambiguous atmosphere, but you will have to wait to find out how we'll use it! 

3) This track: 1 Bad B*tch by Zebra Katz

(Please note: Strong language in this track)

This track is currently on our 'Motivation' playlist! It has got our team through those creative blocks and pushed them through shooting. We are loving the fashionista sound, and let's face it, Zebra Katz is unique, different and awesome!
Have a great weekend!

Shooting Fashion

Working Wednesday: Shooting Fashion


We have officially wrapped on our fashion shoot in Belarus. It's been a whirlwind, we are ecstatic with the footage and can't wait to finish it up in post-production.

Here is a little shot of what our shooting day was like:


The theatre really bought the production to life, even if at times it was a little on the spooky side - there is something about old buildings in the dark. And the cast and crew were, as always, excellent! We just want to thank everyone who helped make the shoot run as smoothly as possible.

We are currently working on our second music video whilst we are out there, so keep following for further updates!
