Part of an Internet safety course using a technique called "green screening," which means it's all taped in a studio and the backgrounds are added "in post." For your education or training piece it means clear audio, well-lit video, and no weather hassles. Which results in better quality, quicker completion, and often for less cash. Got an idea? Let's talk. Consultations are always free.
Taped in Malawi, Africa. Dances and speeches mark the start of a USAID teacher-training program. This is about three minutes of an original seven-minute record of the day. Speeches and show-and-tell with hand-made teaching tools are inter-cut to provide an active overview of the event.
Because of our education background, we've worked with schools around the U.S. and as far away as Africa and the Middle East. Grant Street School, Port Townsend, is one of the best. See for yourself in this two-minute segment of a low-cost, eleven-minute piece.
We produced this monthly Master Gardener segment for local public television. A similar three-to-five-minute segment would be called "content marketing," currently thought to be the most popular and effective form of advertising. What useful information can your company present to interested prospects? Don't "sell" your prospects. Give them reasons to want to buy.

In any language, we learn most readily from each other. Here's a master teacher, appropriately named Master Kalulu, Malawi Education Specialist, providing math lesson guidance.
Recently we had the chance to develop this historical demo, on the launching of the Virginia V, one of the last of the Puget Sound steamboats from the fondly recalled Mosquito Fleet days. We’re particularly proud of the “sound design” on this example, that is, the sound-effects background, and the use of some of our own music.
This studio setup, for Tracy Blume’s Jazz in Blume band, gave us a chance to capture exciting music in a classic, elegant setting. Although the set has a rich look, the cost was low and the emphasis always on the tunes. At this writing, this clip has had approximately 2000 views on YouTube.
This training piece, for the Department of Home-land Security, reveals methods of preparing homes against potential disasters. Open-captioning and audio description enhancement enables its use by both the hearing and sight-impaired. When you need affordable, clear, easy-to-watch-and-follow video for training or instruction, think of Reel Life first.
It was a thrill to tape mystery-writer Tony Hillerman, and to visit his home in Albuquerque. Originally captured on old-time analog tape, way back before the turn of the century, this is still a good example of top content for relatively low dollars. Our crew size (two, for this project) can go places and bring home the tape without costing a lot and without negatively impacting a business, a clinic…a writer, anxious to dig back into ‘who done it,’
