Magic Video Box
An award winning down-the-lens tool that creates
natural conversational interviews.
The Magic Video Box makes eye contact filming easy and fun. Filmed interviews feel natural and more like a conversation.
In interview mode, the person being filmed and Interviewer are positioned at a right angle with a divider between them, creating rapport and intimacy. Open, comfortable and flowing dialogue is achieved whilst the person is looking straight down the lens.
It is quick to set up , works with most cameras and is ideal for indoor or outdoor use. It transforms from teleprompter to interview mode in seconds. We have been using the Magic Video Box since 2015, with amazing results.

Reviews
The Magic video box is super quick! I travel a lot with kit, so having a lightweight medium sized box with all we need within it, has proved very useful. Many of the best designs are simple, using good quality materials, delivering the result and at a fair price. The Magic Video Box ticks all these boxes.
Richard Farish, Director of Photography, 'I'm A Celeb....'
The interviewee can't see the lens, so any nervousness from being filmed disappears. The device helps to create a space for the interviewee where they are 'cut off' from the crew, which reduces any embarrassment they might feel from recounting their story/experience. The process is quick, simple and comfortable for the interviewee, which has meant the interviews being emotional and authentic.

We filmed Ant Middleton and Liam Payne in Namibia using the Magic Video Box and it worked great.
Craig Pickles, Director, Potato TV
Within 72 hours of reaching out to Sybil and her team, we had used the unit on-set and immediately saw the difference it made. We were conducting interviews with individuals unfamiliar with being on camera. With the Magic Video Box attached to our camera setup, they were able to talk naturally with the interviewer as though they were face-to-face. It put the interviewees at ease, which carried through into the edit and has honestly improved the quality of the documentary we were filming.We liked the application of the Magic Video Box so much we bought one.
