Web Presenter Actors?

by Splinter
5 replies
I have a video script which I need created and was wondering where I can find a top class service provider for a decent price to basically use a green screen, present the script and add in a few text graphics?

I spoke to a few local firms and prices ranged from $500 to $1,600. The latter seemed to be a top class service, with examples of great finished products but I am just wondering if it is worth spending that much (same as it cost to create the copy for the page) to have implemented?

I could always do it myself but that might not give the best message to my visitors?

    I was just helping a client choose one of these guys yesterday.

    The site(s) we were looking at were...

    websitetalkingheads.com

    and...

    videospokesmodel.com

    Apparently one of these guys converted at 1/10 for a buddy of his so they might be worth a try. Of course, it all depends on how good your script is

    Hope they help!

      Thanks Matt, unfortunately I require a British accent for this video... I was looking at these 2 firms

      £999 upwards
      Presenter Web Video

      £399
      Video advertising for your website

      I have the script created but was told by Rossiter & Co that what I have will be tweaked a little to be more "video format"

      Seems a big difference in price but I must say after speaking to Kevin Rossiter, he seems to be a top class guy with 20 years experience in marketing, videos etc.

      Do you perhaps know any other UK actors I could look at?

    It's actually good to do it yourself because it puts a real face
    on the business. In some cases however that may not be
    appropriate.

    I don't feel somebody who is obviously an actor is a particular
    advantage, but it's your script which will reveal the acting
    or conceal it.

    Using a green screen to make a transparent walk-on video is
    trickier to do than just adding a background. If you need
    transparent video there is some set-up to know about so
    it may be best to hire a firm that knows how to do it and has
    the gear.

    @Splinter I commend your effort in doing this. I remember buying some video products and the voice quality is very bad, I can't barely understand what's being said. I wish all video product sellers would take quality of presentation a serious matter.
