Video Production Services:
Corporate Image
If your company is looking to improve, change or update its image or you have the need to supplement your corporate brochure with something more dynamic, a corporate image video for distribution on DVD or your website may be just what your business needs.
Corporate video production can be simple and straightforward. However, you should ensure that you allocate time to the production process, especially to defining what you want the video to achieve.
Documentaries
Documentaries are usually intended for broadcast distribution but Corporate Image productions often have a fair amount of documentary elements in them. Working Pictures Artists is skilled and experienced in the documentary format and would be happy to discuss your needs and ideas.
Training Videos
If you're involved in training groups of people, or communicating within a large organization, you know how frustrating it is telling the same message over and over. Everyone hears a slightly different version. A video can save you from repeating yourself, make sure that everyone gets the same message, is endlessly repeatable and thus is also much easier for people to absorb and remember.
Training videos do not have to be dull; they should not end up with a voice-over sounding as if he/she is delivering a lecture; they should be interesting, informative and enjoyable to watch.
The whole idea of producing a training video is that using this form of media is more compelling, memorable and interesting than other forms of training. If the video is good enough, you audience will go away having learned something, enjoyed doing so, and wanting to learn more.
The benefit of video as a training medium is that it can avoid expensive, time consuming human resources for live training, seminar days, out-sourcing to training companies and "one-off" style information provision. Producing training videos on DVD enables staff, potential recruits and even potential clients to see exactly what you want the training to be, every time it is viewed. The DVD can initially be shown with someone present to introduce it and answer questions on the first viewing, and then a copy of the DVD can be provided at very low rates for each individual to take away and review at their leisure or to use like an instruction manual. We can put titles, graphics and chapters into the DVD to make certain aspects of your presentation easily accessible.
Corporate Presentations and Seminars
Capturing a speaker's presentations for the purpose of sharing information among employees and customers is a wonderful way to communicate with and motivate. Whether it's an inspirational video outlining the President's vision for the company, the sales department's new campaign, or consumer-friendly information for Internet distribution, you can trust Working Pictures Artists to deliver an affordable and high-quality video presentation.
Sales Meetings / Awards Banquets
Most annual sales meeting or awards banquets would not be complete without the standard power point presentation. However, by creating a motivational, inspiring, informative and perhaps humorous program on video, you can set a more positive tone for your event.
State-of-the-Art Editing
We use real-time Apple Computer Video Editing Workstations running Final Cut Studio, providing fast turn-around of projects. We have decades of experience in the editing and finishing of every kind of project.
Duplication
Whether it is a few hundred corporate image or training DVDs for the sales force or several hundred thousand sales promos for your client base, we know the ins and outs of quality, affordable duplication and replication. We can also handle your existing duplication needs and will be happy to provide you a quote.
