Now, having achieved a fourth year of success in the Pro Moviemaker Gear of the Year Awards, the Magic Video Box (MVB) remains a popular camera accessory for recording natural, straight-to-camera interviews – and even doubles as a teleprompter.
Launched by documentary filmmakers back in 2019, the MVB offers a friendlier and more engaging way to speak direct to camera. It’s quick to set up, easy to use and contributors feel comfortable and confident in front of the lens.
The MVB creates a rapport so that both subject and interviewer feel present, engaged and totally at ease. Contributors often say they feel less self-conscious, which helps to make the footage feel authentic, compelling and powerful. More than that, people who identify as neurodivergent have also said they find it easier to talk to camera in this way.
Trusted by the best
The MVB has been used on productions for Sky, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5 and Netflix – including the Beckham documentary series and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
Visit the new MVB website to see how it works and discover how simple and effective it is to use. An experienced team is on hand to offer training and support, and the MVB can be hired from just £50 per day.
