While Patrick and I are Spoken Frame Media’s video experts, we’re not afraid to say that words aren’t our forte.

Just as we bring on additional talent for larger productions, we also enlist the help of freelancers for our own marketing operations. 

Meet Amanda Brashi - our go-to freelance copywriter. 

If you’ve been following Spoken Frame Media for a while, you may know of our venture into podcasting. Now, with over a year of production under our belts, we’ve learned a few things.

I recently shared our findings at an American Marketing Association event: After Hours - The Podcast Playbook.

Holding the title of Spoken Frame Media’s first client, we’ve partnered with Stoughton Health since 2016 when our Founder and Creative Director, Wesley Morgan, was introduced to the team by his grandfather. Today, we continue to create a variety of videos to help this long-term partner promote their services and culture as they grow. 

When a group of UW students and alumni reached out to Spoken Frame Media for help with a short film, we discovered a great way to give back. 

Outside of class, these blossoming filmmakers don’t have access to the gear needed to put their visions into practice. 

And as a professional video production company, we have access to some cool stuff–including plenty of professional-grade cameras, lenses, microphones, and lights that we’re not using on a daily basis. 

For the second year in a row, we’ve lent them our lesser-used equipment–free of charge. 

Where our previous documentaries focused on a retelling of events, we wanted to capture a story as it unfolded in real-time - following a character without knowing the outcome. We found the perfect opportunity with Shelby of Miggy’s Bakes as she prepared to sell on State Street for the Madison Night Market.

The Spoken Frame Media family is growing!

Join me in welcoming our TWO newest team members.

Allana reached out to Spoken Frame Media for help creating a video to enter Bubblr’s “Boost Your Future Contest,” where contestants had a chance at winning up to $20,000.

Last winter, I got the itch to do a podcast. Wanting to learn more about the technology and workflow, I pursued it as a testing ground for new content ideas. However, I didn’t want to be the star (my mom would be my only listener). Instead, I reached out to two local entrepreneurs/friends - Therese of Tricky Foods and Shelby of Miggy’s Bakes.

In this blog we’ll discuss how we film interviews when there are two or more people in the frame. While this setup relies on many of the same concepts as one person interviews, there are some key differences to keep in mind.

A lot can go wrong when filming presentations. There is no second take for a live event, and unless you anticipate the various issues that may arise, one error could make the entire recording useless. The most important part of our strategy when filming presentations is having a variety of backup options.

In this blog , I’ll be sharing the gear we use on almost every shoot. Specific brands and models aren’t as important. However, all of this equipment has a distinct role in helping us produce efficient, professional, and high-quality work.

Hodge Podge - a cafe in Verona, was quickly approaching its one-year business anniversary.

To commemorate the event, owners Kevin and Katie reached out to Spoken Frame Media in hopes of creating a celebratory video they could share on Instagram.

Beyond top-tier equipment, a tight-knit production team, and high-quality video, one of our greatest value adds to every project is something you don’t see: our intricate backup system. 

Back in April, a Spoken Frame Media original film premiered at the Wisconsin Film Festival.

As a video production company, we post to social media platforms that favor video - most notably Instagram and TikTok.

Another marketing channel that’s important for us to take advantage of is YouTube. When you visit the Spoken Frame YouTube channel, you’ll quickly notice education as our focus for this platform.

As a media production company, it’s crucial that our content demonstrates our quality standards.

As we approach Spoken Frame Media’s 6 year anniversary, I wanted to share the story of our first and longest term client, Stoughton Health.

In this blog we’ll discuss how we set up lights for a video interview. We do this after we have already decided on our camera placement.

In this blog I’ll discuss how we set up cameras for an interview. We use 2 cameras for filming our interviews so that it’s easier to edit the footage later.
