Filming setup
Two cameras were used throughout filming. One remained on the primary angle, while the second captured a tighter shot and a vertical angle from a different position.
A green screen was placed behind each subject so branded backgrounds could be added during editing. The client wanted custom backgrounds for each speaker, including their logo, and did not have a physical backdrop for that setup.
Audio was captured using lavalier and boom microphones routed into external recorders.
Interview process
- The client asked the questions during filming.
- Participants responded freely without using a script or teleprompter.
- Most interviews ran between two and a half to three and a half minutes. One extended to around fifteen minutes.
Editing and delivery
Each interview was edited as its own video rather than being combined, as shown in this dental testimonial video example.
The green screen was replaced with branded backgrounds, and visual elements were added to match the client’s materials.
The interviewer’s audio was removed, with questions displayed as on-screen text. Clips were trimmed for clarity and pacing, with color, audio, and music applied consistently.
In addition to the final videos, vertical versions of the interviews were also provided with minimal editing.
Planning testimonial videos
The structure used in this project—consistent setup, controlled audio, and direct interview responses—allows each testimonial to be edited and used independently.
When interviews are recorded this way and delivered separately, the final videos remain consistent while each response stands on its own. This structure also shows how testimonial video production can be planned when multiple interviews are filmed during one event.
