Our normal format for training videos incorporates both your video presentation of the materials and the PowerPoint slide within the same browser window. To create the video, either you come to our recording studio or we come to your office, and we videotape you while you present the course materials and click through your PowerPoint slides. The result is quite impressive and richer than any on-line training content currently available. Click here for samples.

What is a profile or marketing video?

• A profile video showcases a person, a product, or a service. For example, a real estate or insurance agent may want to introduce himself or herself in order to build trust and credibility, and thereby better sell his or her services. If your website is selling services, you may want to have a person extol the virtues of what you are selling. For example, a law firm video might highlight the firm’s reputation, publications, areas of specialization, customer base, etc. Click here for samples.
