The month of September has been another busy and fulfilling one for the whole team, and it is always very rewarding working with a repeat client such as Eastern Shore Dental.
The name of the day was adaptability as things changed for us on set almost immediately. With video productions you always have to be ready for such occasions but despite this we not only made it through, we made it better as a complete team.
Director/Owner Joey Malinski put it best in saying “Adaptation is so important when shooting video. On our shoot yesterday everything changed the minute we got to set. A big part of the corporate world is figuring out how to work in spaces not designed for shooting. Working with non-actors is also always interesting, but there is still something that’s just fun about “playing pretend”
On this occasion, we sat down with Dr. Alyssa Wolfe and Dr. Eric Fooksman to create some amazing video profiles for both of them.
Dr. Fooksman brought a ton of charm and personality to his video, talking about his motivation to pursue dentistry and what brought him onboard as a member of the team.
Dr. Wolfe had an amazing sense of quick wit that instantly brought life into any room she was in.
Trying to portray each of these amazing dentists was an amazing challenge in the best way possible. After having an initial round of on-camera interviews, taking the time to record high-quality b roll was an ease.
As we departed for the day, everyone was all smiles (no pun intended) and we all felt great in what we were able to capture. As we start the editing process, we can’t wait to make something perfectly befitting of the charm that both Dr. Wolfe and Dr. Fooksman showed with such amazing ease.
Stay tuned for more updates to come each week!

How to Upload High-Quality Videos to Instagram
Creating the perfect video for Instagram is no simple task. After you’ve created or produced your video, you want to make sure that it looks as best as it can in your feed. Sometimes, though, we are sure that you may have noticed that videos can sometimes appear much blurrier than your photos, even if before uploading things look completely fine.
Creating the perfect video for Instagram is no simple task. After you’ve created or produced your video, you want to make sure that it looks as best as it can in your feed. Sometimes, though, we are sure that you may have noticed that videos can sometimes appear much blurrier than your photos, even if before uploading things look completely fine. The problem lies in the compression that Instagram is forcing upon your video in order to run as quick as possible on their app. Despite this seemingly insurmountable hurdle, there are still a few ways on how to upload high-quality videos on Instagram. With the help from ATB Productions, video content from concept to creation in Baltimore, Maryland and beyond, we will take a look today.
Upload Your Video Straight to IGTV
To get the highest quality video on your Instagram feed, start by uploading it straight to IGTV.
The reason is that Instagram compresses your video when you upload it straight to your feed, so it ends up looking terrible. Even if the video being uploaded is in 4k resolution, Instagram is going to compress it down dramatically. IGTV offers a much better resolution for video uploads and is the best place to upload your videos if you want the thumbnail in your feed to appear perfectly clear.
If you want to upload a horizontal video (16:9 aspect ratio) to IGTV, the dimensions you should use are 1920×1080 (as long as your video was shot at 1080p or better).
Keep in mind that videos you upload straight to your Instagram feed have a maximum length of one minute. IGTV allows you to upload videos between one minute and one hour long. If the video you are attempting to upload is less than one minute, loop it enough times while editing to ensure it hits that one-minute mark.
For Feed and Stories
The best way to upload your videos on a feed or story is to use an Instagram manager app. Here, AiSchedul is your best option. AiSchedul offers many tools to make your Instagram more productive and more engaging. One of its best tools to achieve this goal is the scheduler.
With AiSchedul, not only can you upload high-quality videos from your computer but also, you can schedule a publishing time, find the best hashtags, and even add a unique URL for your video. For example, you can link your video to your YouTube channel.
Upload a Preview Photo
Once you’ve uploaded your video, click “Post a Preview” to ensure the video is not only posted to your IGTV, but is also previewed on your Instagram feed in the best quality possible. This is especially important to ensure that your feed keeps its cohesive aesthetic.
Choosing the perfect thumbnail is very important because IGTV displays a rectangular thumbnail, but Instagram crops the photo to be square when it shows up in your feed. Disclaimer: Instagram does not allow you to change your thumbnail after it has been posted, so perfecting it before is important.
