# Virtual Video Production with Loom & Scripted

## Overview

When on-site video production isn't feasible — due to travel constraints, budget, or timeline — a virtual production workflow using **Loom** or **Scripted** provides a practical alternative. Talent records themselves remotely, and post-production editors assemble the final deliverable with supporting visuals.

This approach has been used with [[clients/agility-recovery/_index|Agility Recovery]] to produce onboarding course videos without requiring travel to the client site.

## Two Recording Modes

### Option A: Live Interview
Mark (or another producer) joins a call with the talent and conducts a live interview. The talent responds naturally to questions rather than reading from a script. This tends to produce more conversational, authentic delivery.

### Option B: Independent Script Recording
Talent receives a script and records themselves independently using a Loom link provided by the team. They read or paraphrase the script while looking into their camera. This is more flexible for busy subject matter experts but requires clearer scripting upfront.

Both modes capture:
- **Talent's face** (webcam feed)
- **Screen recording** (for tool walkthroughs or slide presentations)

---

## Post-Production Assembly

Once raw recordings are received, editors enhance the footage by:

- Adding **slides** relevant to the content
- Inserting **B-roll** footage
- Applying a **picture-in-picture (PiP) effect** — talent's face appears in a corner overlay while slides or screen content fills the main frame
- Cutting mistakes (talent can flag errors mid-recording; editors splice them out)

The result is a polished video suitable for embedding in Rise360 courses or standalone delivery.

## What the Client Must Provide

Before production can begin, the client (or internal project lead) should deliver:

| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| **Script or talking points** | What the talent should say; can be a full script or bullet outline |
| **Objectives** | What the viewer should learn or feel after watching |
| **Talent list** | Who will appear on camera; names, roles, and availability |

> *From the Agility Recovery engagement: "I can work on just coming up with some thoughts and ideas of who I want, what do we want to do, and I'll send that to you before our next call." — Gus Donelson*

## When to Use This Approach

This workflow is well-suited when:

- **Travel is not approved** or cost-prohibitive
- **Talent is distributed** across locations
- **Turnaround is flexible** enough to allow async recording
- Videos are **supplementary to e-learning** (e.g., intro/overview segments in a Rise360 course) rather than the primary instructional medium

For tool demonstration videos specifically, consider whether a [[knowledge/elearning/interactive-storyline-tool-training|Storyline click-through course]] better serves the learning objective — video walkthroughs show the process, but don't let learners practice it.

## Workflow Summary

```
Client delivers: script + objectives + talent list
        ↓
Team sends Loom/Scripted recording link to talent
        ↓
Talent records (live interview OR independent)
        ↓
Raw footage returned to production team
        ↓
Editors add slides, B-roll, PiP overlay, cut mistakes
        ↓
Final video delivered / embedded in course
```
