Who Would Benefit:
Video
We create presentation-style videos, or what we like to call virtual video tours. These videos are designed to provide the viewer with the most information possible.
We do not create traditional video that focuses on actors and are expensive to produce. We feel there is a new niche in video to develop that provides information to viewers that is easy to consume and understand, yet provide a comprehensive overview of a given topic.
See a few samples of our videos below. For more samples, select Profile above.

Why Video?
In today’s world, when anyone is looking how to do something or how to go visit a place, what do they do? Probably search for a video.
Research shows that when people look for answers to their questions, they prefer to consult a video. In fact:
- 83% of people prefer watching videos to accessing instructional or informational content via text or audio
- Two out of three employees complete tasks better when instructions are provided visually and absorb information 7% faster.
- More than half of online shoppers say they use video to help make purchase decisions
- More than 70% of YouTube viewers use the platform help solve what they are looking for
If your business or entity is not taking advantage of using video to show what you can do and what your place offers, what your products do, how your processes work, and what your place looks like, then you’re missing out.
We can help you create videos and related content to visually show the World what you’re all about. That same content can be used to train your employees how to do their job, as well as train customers how to use your product.
How do we Create Video?
It can be a challenge for many small businesses, educators, and entrepreneurs to find the time to create video content. That’s why we’re here to help.
To create video and eye-catching content to go in it, it takes a knowledge of the following:
- Planning a video with a storyboard and script
- Dazzling photography
- Videography
- Manipulating and cleaning up both pictures and video snippets
- Recording of narration
- Compiling all the above into a cohesive video or interactive presentation
- Deploying and publishing content to places where the World can see it
Interactive Video & “e-Lessons”
Video is great to get your point across and for training people. But how do you know if people are paying attention? How can a video be turned into something with a more interactive experience? The answer is with an e-Lesson.
e-Lessons are interactive video; a video that puts the viewer into complete control. They consist of multiple forms of content media, pictures, diagrams, maps, video, etc., and are placed into a single product that can be deployed for viewers to use.
Viewers control the product by jumping to different sections, clicking on sections of the content to make it do something, and much more. e-Lessons can be designed to ask viewers about what they saw to test their knowledge of what they just viewed.
Software Training e-Lesson
e-Lessons are very effective for training employees on how to use computer software. e-Lessons can be designed to emulate the actual software so that learners can practice how to do the functions they’ve learned. The e-Lesson teaching users how to check-in employees is a perfect example.
