In comparison to a typical interview video, a cinematic interview requires intensive planning, more lighting, meticulous set designs, colour grading, and more camera angles.
Your video will be drastically improved by including better production characteristics to go beyond a standard talking-heads interview, making it an engaging piece of content. In our age where Interview videos are everywhere from documentaries to branded content videos and even commercials, a cinematic interview will set your video apart from the rest of the crowd. Your message will be wonderfully conveyed through a much more eye catching style, and viewers will remember it long after it has ended.

Our Scope: Conceptualisation, Storyboard, Filming, Post-production
Director: Jackson Ho | Producer: Ledon Lim | Cinematographer: Melvin Mak | Video Editor: Gwendolyn Koh | Crew: Felicia Liu, Amirah Azman, Le Xuan, Charli Chan
For the 40th anniversary of Kaki Bukit CC, our video production team collaborated with the client to produce a video featuring the memories and aspirations of the community.
We understood that the video would be shown to a large audience of residents, so we aimed to create a heartfelt and emotional piece that evoked nostalgia and a sense of belonging. To achieve this, we developed the idea of a physical memory lane where interviewees could walk and reflect on the old photographs displayed.
To capture a well-rounded view of Kaki Bukit, we interviewed people from various backgrounds, including grassroots leaders, hawkers, and ministers. The video also features a variety of B-rolls and photographs that showcase the essence of the Kaki Bukit community’s life over the years.
Insurance Claim Interview Video
Our team at Vivid Snaps sat down with 3 AIA consultants to hear them share true claims stories from their many years of experience. It was important for us to create the right atmosphere and tone which would best suit the subject, hence we decided to scout for a studio which will enable us to create the dark and serious mood we wanted. Our team also travelled around Singapore in search of ubiquitous ‘slice of life’ style B-rolls that would best compliment the interviews.
