Story Productions films corporate interview in São Paulo

Video has long been a powerful medium for internal communications within global firms but now more than ever, as international travel continues to be restricted, it is proving an essential tool for sharing information with employees across continents.

Story Productions is regularly called upon to shoot interviews for internal communications campaigns for the likes of BASF, Siemens and Unilever. Our most recent corporate interview was for French production company Le 7 Bureau on behalf of their client, the global engineering and consulting group Systra.

Our brief from Le 7 Bureau was to record an interview with the Systra director in São Paulo. It might sound like a straight-forward set-up-and-shoot job but the key to doing it well was in listening clearly to the brief from our client, with very specific guidance on the framing and focus of the subject and the camera, as well as directing the interviewee in order to get the best result.

Story Productions provided a crew of three for the shoot: a director, DOP and sound technician. One of the things that sets Story crews apart is being good communicators and at ease in multiple languages. In a global city like São Paulo, home to the Latam headquarters of many multinationals, being multi-lingual is a must. On this occasion, the interviewee was a French director working in Brazil and recording an interview in English. The Story Productions director, fluent in all three of these languages, was able to make the interviewee feel at ease in front of the camera.
