Small and Medium-sized Business Videos
In truth, there is no real difference in the production of a video for any size of company. The differences lie in the size and scope of the company, it's staff, facilities and products or services. Larger businesses may involve a bit more time in their production and therefore will tend to cost a bit more.
This video gives you an idea of what is involved in the production of a video for a small to medium-sized business. But if you like the look or approach to a video you see in the Corporate Video section, that can be done for you too.
Corporate Video Production
This video describes the process of producing the most common type of interview-driven corporate video with the possible difference that it doesn't consume much of your time. The Video Whisperer approach is highly effective and efficient. This video will show you why
Of course there are many other types of corporate video as you will see in the samples on the Corporate Video page
Product Videos
There are, of course, many different types of business videos. Many on this site are driven by interview narrative and even scripts and these will tend to be the meaty ones on your site
This video gives you an idea of other types of videos that may be more fitting to your current needs, such as ad videos (commercials), product videos, how to (demonstrative) videos, technical videos, etc.
Video SEO
This is a 35 minute video, but well worth watching because it explains exactly how and why video content is a key part of your website's SEO.
Not all videos that get uploaded get results even if they're good.
It's one thing to have a video. It's quite another to know what to do with it to maximise the potential benefits for your business and your website's SEO.

About | The Video Whisperer
- Joe Caneen, the Video Whisperer
Specialising in producing videos for business, videographer Joe Caneen has a long history in standard cinematographic composition, lighting and editing.
Our emphasis is on standard application of classic cinematography technology. The objective is to produce memorable videos that carry the client’s intended message to the intended result with emotional impact. By classic is meant tried and true, timeless techniques.
The problem with the overuse of modern electronic gimmicks prevalent in so many modern videos is that they won’t always stand the test of time. There will always be new gimmicks making the old ones passé. But time-tested classic techniques are classic because they have stood the test of time.
While modern technology can be expertly used to forward the message of any art form, you’ll know it is art when it does not call attention to itself “as a technique”. Rather, you will find yourself immersed in the emotion and message of the piece. When you find yourself distracted by bizarre senseless camera angles, tilts and zooms, you’re looking at a cameraman or director saying “look at me”. And that is not art. It is also dated (not timeless or classic) and so passes quickly onto the rubbish heap of history.
Videographer / cameraman / director Joe Caneen is categoric about his video philosophy: My style is resolutely ‘back to basics’ with the aim of getting across the intended message with emotional impact. If the technique involved immerses the audience in the intended story line or message; if it sells the prospective user or customer, then it’s a good technique. As soon as technique calls attention to itself the message is weakened.
The Video Whisperer doesn’t offer ‘packages’.
These popular “Platinum, Gold, Silver and Platinum” packages are too often a list of limitations. Who wouldn’t really want the “Platinum” package, but for financial necessities may be forced to buy the Bronze? Who ever strives for a Bronze when Gold is in the offing? My approach is to find out what is really needed and wanted and to provide more than was ever expected within the available budget.
When it comes to videos for business, we produce them with the sole intent for you to have a great result. To that end, you’ll find the Video Whisperer easy to work with and great value for money.
The Video Whisperer is based in the UK’s East Midlands and produces video content for businesses throughout the UK including Grantham, Nottingham, Leicester, Newark, Peterborough, Lincoln, Stamford, Birmingham Manchester, London, Scotland and Wales.
