When I work with a new organization, they typically approach me to work on a single video project.
They often have an urgent, short-term need and are not thinking about long-term video strategy. Because of this, one of the things that can fall through the cracks is the additional usage of b-roll and other interview content in other unique video deliverables. This will become b-roll and content that will never see the light of day and wither away on an external hard drive somewhere.
The better and more cost-effective alternative is to produce your single video projects with a long-term strategy that includes b-roll and video asset management.
That way, your organization can come back to your "b-roll library" and produce high quality and low-cost video deliverables that don't require as much original footage as you initially thought!
It's such a simple and obvious strategy, but you'd be surprised at how many organizations are not thinking this way.
(The video below is an example of an organization doing it the right way. The footage seen below was shot over 24 months covering several individual projects for Messiah University).
Thankful to have been a part of creating this 60 second promo spot for Messiah University. These are the kinds of projects that bring a lot of satisfaction to me because they are the culmination of several projects in the last 24 months that paint a broad visual picture of an organization.
My advice to organizations: Don't let high quality b-roll and footage sit on hard drives and go unused. Find ways to repurpose them into useful video assets to increase brand awareness and fill your marketing pipeline with low-cost and high-value assets!
