Widescreen Productions deliver high quality website video for social and traditional media platforms.
We will have the event filmed, cut and uploaded in time to make the news.
Website Video
Good video can help drive traffic to your website, keep it there for longer and help build your brand.
Widescreen Productions make videos that people will want to watch to the end and…
- find the stories in your business that will get people talking.
- promote the key messages you want to get across.
- make your video as simple or sophisticated as you want.
- are fast, efficient and cost effective.
Video News Releases (VNR)
If you have exciting news or an event, we can put it in a video, share it on social media, send it to news outlets and help drive more traffic to your website.
Show off your products
You can tell people all about it in text but it won’t have as much impact as seeing it for themselves. We are experts at making short, effective videos that convey a message that can be used for your website, trade shows, media, facebook, etc.
Putting a face to your company
The first place most clients meet you is on your website. Consider the expertise and personalities that are unique to your company and involve them in a video story. Potential clients will be more inclined to trust you if they feel they know you and your company.
Video blog
Improve your search ranking, spread the word, and create a following with interesting and fresh video content.
Provide tutorials
Pictures convey so much more than words, a video can be the simplest way to show rather than explain something people need to understand. Widescreen Productions will also give you advice and tips on how to create your own website video.
When Destination Queenstown required a weekly video blog I asked Mike McLeod of Widescreen Productions to start the project. Mike not only came up with fresh ideas each week; he filmed; did the interviews; and edited them with the minimum of fuss or input from us. Every Friday morning the team would preview the blog, Mike had the right touch and a great story every time.

Media training
We tell you what to expect when something goes wrong and provide practical ways to deal with the media. There’s plenty of advice, tips and examples followed by a practical on-camera training session with the option to role play a “crisis scenario”.
We’ll also give you some thoughts on how to generate some good publicity too.
Media workshops are kept small and are tailored to suit your needs, but usually cover the following areas:
- First impressions
- Communicating with the media
- Interview strategies
- Practical on-camera training
- Crisis communications
