Video and Photography
The video and photo production team, located within Biola’s Office of University Communications and Marketing (UCM), is responsible for creating or overseeing nearly all of the video and photography used to market Biola’s programs, events and initiatives. The team also takes care of many of the university’s internal video and photo production needs, too.
Services
Biola’s video and photo production team offers a wide array of services to Biola’s schools and departments. Some services are also available to outside groups that are holding events on Biola’s campus.
Promotional Videos
Encompassing a wide range of types of projects, from a program video, a 30-second ad spot, to a virtual tour — promotional videos help people learn about and gain interest in specific programs and majors at Biola. Each of these projects is completely custom, and starts with a detailed consultation with your AE and our video team.
Event Videography
Whether it’s a single camera recording a speech, or a dozen cameras recording a large event like commencement, our team can professionally capture your event — allowing those who weren’t able to make it to watch at a later time. The finished video is typically delivered to Biola’s YouTube channel, or to a private Google Drive link that you can share as needed. We also have the capability to feed live video (aka IMAG) to the screens at Biola’s large venues.
Live Streaming
When streaming live to the world there’s one take and no redos. Our team are experts in successfully executing streaming events — from large events like commencements, debates, and conferences to interactive Q&A sessions for social media. We typically stream to Biola’s site, YouTube and Facebook Live.
TV and Radio Uplinks
Our studio is equipped with the equipment and connectivity to uplink live, broadcast-quality video and audio to TV and radio stations around the nation.
Marketing Photography
From campaign photography, to a website header, to social media ads, to the cover of Biola Magazine, our team is equipped to shoot any kind of photography — ensuring that every photo captures what it’s like to be a Biolan.
Portraits and Headshots
Custom portraits are often captured when a person is going to be featured in an article or website. Our team also offers at least one headshot opportunity each semester, where faculty and staff can get an updated profile photo for Biola’s website.
Event Photography
Our team can capture the true essence of an event, allowing it to be shared online with those who weren’t able to make it.
Accessibility
We’re experienced in creating that videos comply with accessibility laws, as well as adding accessibility features to existing videos. We include captions on all videos we produce, audio descriptions where necessary, and provide live closed captioning for all of the events we originate. We also have partnerships with vendors that can provide real-time captioning at events or in webinars.
Sample Work
Our team created 27 video deliverables to advertise Biola’s new School of Cinema & Media Arts on multiple social media platforms.
