PVS Auctioneers

Matt and Jess were in the thriving market town of Bourne, Lincolnshire yesterday at Golding Young & Mawer to film the sale of high value antiques following the retirement of local collector.

 Nearly 500 items were up for auction and Team PVS were live on location to watch a man swing a hammer and speak both loudly and quickly.
Upon returning to PVS HQ, Jess fed back a few of the logistical challenges of filming a live auction. Unlike the popular perception of men and women franticly swinging paddles (whilst simultaneously trying their best not to knock each other out with their enthusiasm to capture a must have item), the action was much more subdued. 
Bids were being submitted online via two different websites and some people live in attendance were bidding by simply raising their eyebrows! But as Matt and Jess are well seasoned professionals, they were able to capture the vigor, spiritedness, and energy of the event. 
Matt's cheeky smile above says it all about how he thought the day went!

Four things for beginners to avoid when filming

Are you new to filming video? Do you want to shoot higher-quality professional videos? Here's our top four recommended things for beginners to avoid when filming to take your videos to the next level. 1. Avoid unnecessary zooms Think about the real world, what would you do if you wanted to see an object more closely? Most of the time you'd physically get up and move closer to the object. So when filming, why would you zoom when you could physically just move closer? If not executed properly, zooming can also just feel unnatural and weird to the viewer. It can also have the negative effective of drawing the viewers attention away from the films content as zooms are obvious and you can't miss them. A final reason to avoid zooms is that they can be tricky to pull off as it's essential that you make it silky smooth and subtle. You need a steady hand to be able to pull off a zoom with smooth starts and stops, without jerky speed changes, or unintended st...

Our Summer Tips for Making Professional-Looking Videos

Summer is officially in full swing, so we at PVS want to offer you four useful tips for beginners to help you make professional-looking videos. Without further ado, here they are! Tip #1: Pick the right background When filming, selecting the correct or relevant background is essential to setting the visual scene so it's important that you pick something that's appropriate to the messages you're delivering on camera. It sounds simple, but it's shocking the amount of people who get this wrong! For example, if you're talking about the affordability of three-bed homes in your local area, but you're filming inside a pizzeria with a pizza oven behind you, it probably isn't appropriate. But if you were talking about the abundance of high-quality restaurants in your local area, the shot makes much more sense. Tip #2: Filming shorter takes The advantage of filming short takes is that you'll have fewer things to try and remember when you're shooting ...
