Sound Images Video Production

Our client admits their first attempt at a training platform to induct new employees was - well, just terrible. A confusing mess that was really a waste of time. They needed rescuing - and since we'd created videos for them in the past, we had all the footage we needed to create a 'Welcome' induction series of 5 video modules to introduce new employees to the company. 🔶 Module 1 was an intro with an overview of what was coming next... 🔶 Module 2 was a Company Overview 🔶 Module 3 covered Customer Relationships 🔶 Module 4 explained their Environmental Commitment 🔶 Module 5 wraps things up and explains where to from here The before and after was a huge contrast, with the new video series easy to flow through - and even easier to understand. 🧡 "Thanks once again to Sound Images for recreating what was about the most boring welcome anyone had to sit through to its new video life, with a buzzy look and feel, that will excite those entering into a working life with RFS." [Lovely feedback from Christine Thomsen, Communications and Brand Manager, Refuelling Solutions.]

For every interview filmed for your video, we only use the best grabs to incorporate in the main video. 🟠 But there’s usually so much unused interview content begging to be repurposed. By transforming the full interviews into standalone long-form videos, you’re maximising your investment and providing your audience with deep, insightful content. 🟠 It’s a chance to dive deeper and give your viewers the full story. An example? If you have the MD talking about the company values or history, you can share this complete interview on your website About page. 🟠 Browse 15 ideas to take your videos to new places: https://buff.ly/3SqEN3A #CorporateVideoProduction, #VideoProductionBrisbane, #VideoProductionSunshineCoast

'Say too much and you say nothing.' It sums up viewer confusion when you overload your video with too much information. It's an easy trap to fall into. 🧡 Instead, think of your video as an introduction that creates an emotional connection. Its role should be a high-level overview of the main points you want to convey, not an exhaustive lecture about every nook and cranny. Save the deep details for the next step - after they express interest. 🟠  Video on your radar? Send a DM 😊

Every video has more to give. Think of all the hard work and creativity that went into creating your videos. Why let that go to waste sitting in your digital files? 🟠 Whether you’re reaching new audiences in new ways - or on different platforms - your videos can work harder. And here’s the best part: it’s either cost-effective, or costs you nothing but time. 🟠 Head to the blog post and learn how to take your video to new places: https://buff.ly/3SqEN3A #CorporateVideoProduction, #VideoProductionBrisbane, #VideoProductionSunshineCoast

What are relatable opening scenes in a video? Like a visual handshake, the opening scenes welcome your audience into your video story. Their goal is to connect with your target viewers' experiences, desires, or challenges - making sure your audience knows they're in the right place. 🟠 I'm not talking about "flashy" or "clever." Opening scenes that try too hard to impress easily lose the more important and relatable human touch. Those rapid, high-intensity cuts between scenes might dazzle - but they probably leave the viewer wondering, "What does this have to do with me?" More fitting for a blockbuster movie trailer than a connection-building brand video. If a connection-building video is on your radar, let's chat about ideas your audience will tune into. 🧡 Send a DM or leave your contact details: https://buff.ly/3WSZK8c

When you start writing a training video script, don't worry about the vision - get the words down first. 🟠 I start with a structure built from a list of main points to be covered ...and then expand on each point. 🟠 Use the words 'you' and 'your' more than 'we' and 'our.' This will connect more naturally with you trainees 🟠 Consider the flow of your script It should move logically and smoothly from one point to the next - and not sound like you're speaking from a list of bullet points. Check this by reading out loud. Any phrase that sounds jarring needed to be rethought. 🟠 Keep your language simple and direct  You want to connect with your audience, not preach. So, use a conversational tone in your script. Banish jargon, technical terms, and overly complicated language – if you must use specialised terms, define them clearly. If there's a shorter or simpler word, use it. [Instead of saying "utilise," say "use."  Instead of "facilitate," say "help."] 🟠 Go easy on adjectives; you don't need them  All they do is trip up the flow and make your message a little harder to quickly understand. 🟠 Review each sentence you write - what can you cut out? By stripping back the language to essentials, you create a script that's easier to follow and understand. 🟠 End with key takeaways Add critical takeaways at the end of the video or each section in a video series. This summary is your final punch, a recap of the crucial points you want them to take away. You could also encourage viewers to reflect on what they've learned.  Pose a question or suggest a quick activity related to the key takeaways to ensure the learnings stick. 🟠 Now you can think about vision What can you add visually to reinforce the words? Could a real-life scenario make the content more relevant and actionable?   Will a graphic or animation make a challenging idea easier to understand? Can you add testimonials or interviews with people who have successfully implemented what you're teaching?  This storytelling adds authenticity and shows the real-world impact of the training. 🧡 Training video on your radar?

Planning a training video? 🟠 Start with the end in mind - what should your employees be able to do differently after watching the training video?  Vague goals won't cut it.  "Improve safety awareness" is a start, but "Reduce workplace accidents by 85%" is far more actionable and measurable. 🟠 Understand your audience You need to understand their challenges and the gaps in their training. Don't go at it with blinkers on. Or what you 'think' the knowledge gaps are. Consider their current level of understanding and build from there.  Are they new to the topic, or do they have a base level of knowledge that you can expand upon?  🟠 Consult with stakeholders Talk to managers, team leaders, and trainees. If you've conducted training sessions before, feedback from these can be a goldmine. Are there common questions or difficulties that your audience faces? Take the time to review feedback or conduct surveys to gain these insights.  Knowing this helps you plan training content for better clarity and understanding.  🧡 More on the blog: https://buff.ly/3uulFZE
