Gaming Chair Product Display Video Production

The client sells to players and content creators aged 18 to 30, an audience that judges a chair by visual impact and imagined comfort before it reads a single spec. The product carries the argument itself: blue, red, and yellow PU panels with yellow piping and tight stitching. We proposed a pure black set, slow orbital moves, and texture close-ups, with no model at all, so the materials do the talking.

Creative Concept

A gaming chair purchase is decided by impact and the imagined feel of sitting, so the film lets material speak first. The black velvet background swallows everything except the tri-color panels, piping, and stitching, and a slow orbit with leather close-ups supplies the sense of wrap and support without a model in frame. The restraint is deliberate: for this audience the chair is the character, and the empty darkness around it reads as arena atmosphere rather than missing production value.

Production

The chair stood on a motorized turntable in front of a black velvet backdrop, filmed on the Sony A7S3 with the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM at 4K 25fps. An Aputure 600D Pro with a narrow snoot drew the contour line along the chair from behind, two LED panels raked in low to wake the leather sheen, and black flags killed stray spill. The turntable held a constant speed and each full revolution was covered three times, so the edit could take the steadiest pass of every angle.

Production Challenges

1. On a black set, the product can collapse into the background. The contour light was placed 45 degrees behind and to the side of the chair, and the chair back was kept 1.5 meters off the backdrop. In the DaVinci Resolve grade the background was pulled down while the product shadows were lifted, separating the silhouette into readable layers.

2. PU leather throws messy reflections. Lamp positions were tuned until highlights fell as directional strips instead of wide blobs, and a polarizer trimmed the non-metallic glare. The texture of the grain survived, which is exactly the surface players zoom into on a detail page when they judge build quality.

3. Hand-moved orbits never hold a constant speed. The turntable was locked to a fixed speed gear and the camera stayed on a tripod, framing without moving. Matching points across the three passes were joined in the edit, so the final orbit reads as one smooth, machine-steady move.

Deliverable Specifications

Where the Film Lives

The full version tops the flagship store detail page and the website product page, and plays on esports exhibition LED booths and experience-store televisions. The cutdowns run as Douyin in-feed ads, WeChat Channels material, a pinned Xiaohongshu brand post, and the opening segment of Bilibili unboxing videos. Frames of the leather grain and the full-chair silhouette were exported as selling-point images for the detail page, so the store gallery inherits the same black-set look as the film.

For gaming gear the material is the argument: grain, stitching, and color blocking are what players judge. On a black set, finish the contour light properly or the chair sinks into the dark. — June, Product Photography Team Lead

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a gaming chair video like this cost?

Product videos at AIMI start from $200 per finished video. A display film of this scope, with turntable cinematography, contour lighting, and several cutdowns, is quoted by brief. Send your product, target duration, and platforms, and we return an itemized quote.

How long does a chair display video take?

This project ran 6 business days: 2 for script and plan confirmation, 1 in the studio, and 3 for edit and grade. If a launch or promotion date is fixed, tell us at brief stage and we will plan a compressed schedule around it.

What should we provide for the shoot?

One chair in good cosmetic condition, assembled and adjusted before it reaches the studio, plus your selling-point list and brand guidelines. If you want recline, lift, and armrest adjustments demonstrated, include function notes and a technician reachable for remote guidance.

Who writes the script, and can we revise it?

Our planning team drafts the script and two revision rounds are included. Confirm the order of your core selling points and share reference films for camera-move style at script stage; changing the orbit plan after the shoot costs far more than changing it on paper.

Can you film someone actually sitting in the chair?

Yes. A seated model gives buyers an immediate sense of wrap and scale. Model fees are quoted separately by session, and a portrait authorization agreement is signed before filming. Many clients add one seated segment to the material-only master.

Can you shoot at our showroom or warehouse instead?

Yes. We film in showrooms, warehouses, and retail stores when the location supports the concept. We confirm light levels and power access in advance, and travel plus any venue costs are itemized in the quote before you approve it.

How does the chair get to your studio?

Most clients ship the chair directly to our Guangzhou studio by freight, and we cover the shipping and insurance both ways. The chair is inspected and photographed on arrival, then assembled and tuned before the shoot day.

Is a model really unnecessary for a chair film?

For this audience, yes. Players read quality from grain, stitching, and color blocking, and a slow orbit communicates shape better than a posed sitter. When you later need scale reference, a seated segment can be added without reshooting the material work.
