If "a picture is worth a thousand words", just imagine what can happen when you string a bunch of them together into a motion picture with sound.

Video is an entertaining and captivating way to deliver information to your students. And with well over 30 years of experience behind them, our professional production artists understand the ins and outs of academic media production.

Online video already accounts for nearly 32% of all time spent online by video viewers, and is causing dramatic shifts in offline content viewership and purchase behavior. (Published: August 2009 | By the Online Video Engagement Consortium)

SERVICES

We'll work with you through the entire process - from consultation through to conception - to create incredible videos that enhance the learning environment for any academic discipline.

Production Services
Capturing your ideas on video in a creative and interesting fashion whether through a script or documentary style is what we do best. Experienced technicians working with broadcast quality cameras and lenses bring your vision to life.

Post-Production Services
The goal of editing is to seamlessly integrate images, sound and music to properly convey the desired message.

  • Graphics: Refers to any visuals in the production that are not live action or photographs. This would include titles, animated backgrounds, even fire and rain… imagery that describes a broad range of ideas.
  • File Output: Once your project has been completed, we prepare it for distribution. File encoding is where your finished project is transformed from the original edited file, into a myriad of deliverable formats including DVD, or Flash, Quicktime and Windows Media files for internet applications.
  • DVD Authoring: DVD Authoring allows customized menus, buttons, and navigation to suit specific project needs. Specialized navigation programming can help to leverage a DVD into a multipurpose asset for training, communication and presentation.
