How-Tos & Explainers

We were asked to turn the live performance of this STEM Coding series into a video series "Crack The Code" that teachers and students could use as a resource to refer to if they got stuck or needed a refresher. Diagrams sketched up on the whiteboard during the live sessions would be used to help the coding gurus explain their ideas more simply. For the coding video series, we had to come up with explainer animations to help convey the ideas and concepts that would normally appear on the whiteboard.

This project was a joint venture between Poultry CRC (Cooperative Research Centres) and NSW Department of Education. Audience Productions were asked to produce a series of short, informative videos to assist schools that are interested in “getting into chickens”. The aim was to shoot interviews with a variety of poultry experts, film a case study at Galston High School, and also examine both free-range and caged bird systems.

Ardex and Hotwire Heating asked Audience Productions to shoot a video showing customers how both companies' products can be used in conjunction when installing underfloor heating in bathrooms. They wanted to offer their customers a step-by-step video to help with DIY projects, as well as highlighting their product benefits. Because we shot these videos live, consumers are able to have confidence that the products will work as advertised. These videos are often screened in hardware stores without audio, so we had to ensure there was room for titles to help with instructions and tips for the viewer, rather than an audible voice-over.

Audience Productions were contacted by the Curriculum and Learning Innovation Centre for the Department of Education and Training and Communities to shoot a livestock-handling series over five days, covering both cattle and sheep. We pulled together a three-person crew: two cameras and a sound recordist, with the second camera operator also acting as producer and director.

Audience Productions were asked to shoot a series of how-to videos to help Orgran consumers use their products more effectively. The concept was getting a member of the Orgran team to make a series of recipes using their products to demonstrate how user-friendly they are. The other recipes in this video series were "How To Make Gluten-Free Bread" and "How To Make Gluten-Free Pasta".

Movin' Office required a video to help train their clients on how to properly prepare their workstations and offices when moving so nothing gets left behind. We created a shot list of all the steps in the process so we were able to shoot quickly and efficiently. To cut down on costs, we used the Movin' Office building for the shoot and one of their employees to carry out the action. This ensured plenty of client feedback and company branding to help convey this how-to video, as well as showcasing their specialised office moving equipment.

SALS and Ardex came together and asked us to highlight how efficient and effective the SALS - Simple Accurate Levelling System was to use during tile installations. The answer was simple: the best way to show a good product is to let the product speak for itself. Use it properly and let us shoot what we see. What we found is we captured a perfect tile installation every time, eliminating lippage and surface scratching.

Dunlop wanted to create a How-To series for their floor polishing range of products. We were to shoot 3 products in sequence on wooden floorboards.

I was asked to create walkthrough videos for the HighLow Binary Options website. They were carefully coordinated and choreographed screen recordings based on a script that was then changed to suit the outcomes for the voiceover recording. They were then all uploaded to the HighLow Markets website for any newcomers looking to navigate the site and the system.
