Metals USA

Created a comprehensive and modular multimedia package to complement the Metals USA website as well as further extend Metals USA’s overall marketing presence. Went on location to 7 Metals USA facilities to provide drone video, standard video, and photography services to create the broadest possible media library on which the multimedia enhancements package was based. 

A Homepage Trailer Video, Corporate Capabilities Video, and Equipment Video Clips were integrated into the website (www.metalsusa.com) for deeper user engagement and enhanced SEO value. All videos were also utilized for Metal USA’s social media platforms, including YouTube and LinkedIn.

AstraZeneca

Produced two instructional medical device videos, which informed patients on how to use the two different inhalers to be used by patients enrolled in AstraZeneca’s clinical trials. The first inhaler includes a common medication used to treat asthma currently on the market, while the second inhaler has the new medication which is being tested. Both clinical trial groups received videos on how to use and clean each inhaler.

These training videos had a combined run time of 10 minutes. The training videos are principally composed of live-action video shot on location in studio. A short, 360° spin animation of the product in each video using a CAD model of the inhaler, plus and introductory vignette explaining the parts of each inhaler were included in both videos. The video used voice-over narration, recorded in studio, and simple graphics to highlight specific parts of the device or aspects of its operation, such as direction of motion (i.e., arrows or highlights).


Medical Products Laboratories, Inc.

Created a new introductory company video featuring aerial drone video of both outside the MPL campuses as well as in their individual manufacturing centers, along with additional video of staff and manufacturing processes. Interactive 360-degree videos were also captured and placed on the homepage (www.mplusa.com) and internal pages that allow the user to see MPL manufacturing operations from a real-world perspective that can be rotated around a central viewpoint for a truly immersive experience.

Triax Touch

Created an instruction video for Alpha Automation, Inc.’s new product, the E-Missile. This latest evolution of playground surface impact testing devices is fully compliant with American (ASTM F1292), European (EN 1177) and many other worldwide standards. All aspects of the operation and components of the E-Missile were clearly illustrated in this step-by-step instructional video.

On-location filming combined with graphics and screen capture produced a video that was branded to create a visual language that was used for subsequent product videos.
