Happy New Year everyone! Hope you have all enjoyed the festivities this holiday season and are settling back in to the rigorous patterns of the working day!
I am certainly settling back into the swing of things…one of my current and most exciting projects is for Rennaissance East Midlands and involves producing a series of videos for a training DVD. The DVD will be used an educational tool to help staff in areas such as:
Customer Service
Internal Communications
Creating Raving Fans
Raising Awareness of Customer Expectations
This DVD will train entire workforces and will only require one person to learn how to use it thus maintaining an efficient staff training system but also adding an element of dynamism.
The videos themselves use our trademark style of highlighting an important message while also being hilarious…today I have been editing our company director Andy Barrow to make him appear as a 1ft tall tooth fairy in a tutu, a look which actually quite suits him!
We have combined several methods of film making to make the DVD including green screen technology, motion graphics, digital composition and HD technology. Clips of all the videos will be available for viewing on this website later this month!
Better get back in the edit suite! Kee
I recently worked with Rob Harris, the lead guitarist for Jamiroquai! There is very little to report on this, I just wanted to tell someone!
We had a fantastic day on the campus of Northampton University working with young people, helping to inspire their business ambitions. We collaborated with the uni, Rob and an artist called Mike Skidmore to provide an interactive, entertaining and inspiring day for approximately 200 youngsters from the region!
It was great fun and Rob gave me a signed copy of Jamiroquai’s “Live in Montreux” DVD…those guys are just awesome!
We recently completed a series of training events all around the East Midlands and due to the success of these, Renaissance East Midlands have commissioned us to write and produce a series of interactive online videos based on the themes of: internal and external communication, emotional expectations of the customer and creating “raving fans”.
When we performed these scenes live to the staff of Nottingham Museum and Galleries, Crich Tramway Village and Snibston Discovery Park they were very well received as we used our trademark style of making the audience laugh to provoke thought and discussion. The result? Well, it must have worked because they now want us on video to keep forever!
During the next few months we will be working on a project for Warwickshire County Council based around the subject of safeguarding vulnerable adults. We have been commissioned to produce two dramatic online videos that will raise awareness of the subject matter and deal with the issues in a sensitive, informative and thought provoking way.
This is as a result of a conference that we recently hosted in Warwickshire with a similar theme, the clients liked our work so much that they have now asked us to make these videos.
With our blogs finally up and running (it’s been a busy time here in the Oddsocks office!) it is time to start keeping the world abreast of all of the corporate activities we are taking part in, contracts we are working on and new videos that will be posted in our portfolio. We will also be looking at new and interesting ways of approaching video, training and learning styles.
You can follow our goings on in the corporate world from here so stay tuned for further updates!
