The Office of Communications is happy to provide video production to support the ministries and offices of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. There are several options for video production and broadcast here.
- Coverage: this is when a videographer shoots highlights of an event and puts together what resembles a news story. These videos are usually posted to The Georgia Bulletin website or Vimeo and are promoted on social media.
- Video production: This is when the Communications team collaborates with you to produce a scripted video. These videos may involve the production of graphics, interviews and a more polished final product. These videos are usually posted to Vimeo and shared with a specific audience. One example is the Annual Appeal promotional video. This kind of project takes more planning and more time is needed to edit.
- Livestreamed event: This is when your event is streamed live on one of our accounts, which include Facebook Live and Livestream. It is important to get these events on the schedule as early as possible and to collaborate with your video team on the nature of the event, including recognizing the audience. Live events can be made for public consumption by simulcasting on Facebook or the event can be ‘semi-private’ with only being broadcast to specific Livestream.com link and not Facebook.
- Recorded event: This is when we record an event as it happens so we can broadcast it later. Sometimes referred to as a look-live, these events can be pushed to social media accounts at a specific time. Although they are recorded as if they are live, the video must be processed, so it cannot be immediately broadcast. Please build in at least 48-hours from the time of the recording to the time of broadcast.
Please note, you can record a webinar or video meeting using the recorder inside GoToWebinar, Zoom or GoToMeeting. The video production department does not need to be involved in those simple recordings. Please notify all participants before you ever record an event. - Contributed video: We sometimes record presentations, greetings or invocations for events outside of the archdiocese. These videos are shared with conference organizers, other dioceses or outside production companies. Since there will be technical questions, it is best to get the technical contact at the outside agency in touch with the video production team so production and delivery can run smoothly.
Requests for video services should be submitted 6-8 weeks prior to the event. Requests for promoting an event should be submitted 8-10 weeks prior to the event. To request a video project please call (404-920-7348) or email Allen Kinzly.
