Production shot from video shoot

Yes, we are starting to incorporate video into our workflow. It's actually very exciting and a fun process. We were shooting testimonials for two educational clients a couple of weeks back. We shot the stills in our normal fashion and then shot the videos. Our biggest hurtle was to find an area that would be quiet enough to record sound without a lot of background noise. This shot was taken in a dressing room at a bridal salon. The student was working a co-op in an upscale shopping center. Our best solution was to shoot her someplace out of the way and quiet. It was a tight space but I think worked well for the look that we were going for. After we shot our takes we played back the audio and were amazed at the sound quality. It almost sounded like we shot her in a sound stage. I'm looking forward to more video/still projects to come. We have another one slated for next month overseas.
