Well, here’s my first learning video. As you know, I shot my first video of the CFO introducing the Strategic Plan. Next came an offer to help with a safety video to inform people how to move safely. Our whole building is moving to another location and safety is a big deal. We decided to do a series of videos covering file reduction, pre-move, the move, and post-move.
Here’s the first! We threw a team together with some great ideas from the writers and pulled it off. I filmed it using my mini DV camcorder and edited it using iMovie. I’ve never really done anything like this before but I’m SO pleased with the results. We published it at work (including there the names of the actors and the production crew) and it has been spreading around like crazy. Even the guys at the top who rarely seem to crack a smile are sending us their appreciation and congratulations.
Please watch it and let me know what you think! It’s posted here from YouTube so it lost a little of it’s quality. Just be sure to turn up your speakers!
HAHAHA. I love it Anglea. I can see how this would be effective. Showing the various bad things to do finished with the proper way.
Now hearing the various bits of laughing in the background and the “did they get that on film” added to it all. I can imagine in your own office that this will help tremendously, especially when your staff see other staff acting.
Great job for your first video. Editing is good, the music isn’t over bearing, but is appropriate for each message.
I like that the learning being presented was all very visual (and comical).
I can feel an Oscar coming.
Terrific! Who would ever have thought of watching a 7-minute safety video for fun? And it really did get its messages across. Not to say that people won’t do unsafe things anyway, but at least they might stop and think first.
You’ve got some terrible ham actors in your office.
Thanks Tracy & John! We are planning our next one…
[...] are still be watched on computers and laptops anyway. Our folks could do that. And with the success of our recent safety video, my head started swirling with ideas. I know by the time I get home at the end of the week [...]
