HAPPENING
NOW - The Rossiter & Co 2001 CD-Rom Showreel
Our new 2001 Showreel Happening Now is finally out at last! It contains
a huge 28 video clips, including some of the latest and best corporate work
you'll see anywhere in the world.
It comes
in a state-of-the-art multimedia cd that defines standards
for business and new media presentation.
Don't
Walk By Success Story
The Don't Walk By health and safety video
package recently produced for Carillion has been enjoying
extraordinary success, and is now being adapted by other
customers who now want to adopt this new approach to promoting
proactive workforce safety attitudes.
This
is due in no short measure to the fact that Don't Walk
By influences workplace attitudes to safety by avoiding
the traditional stand-up-and-tell toolbox talk approach.
Instead
it features a rapid series of operative interviews where
safety issues are discussed openly, with operatives making
their own decisions.
The video
is backed up by a Presenter's Guide listing a wide variety
of questions that the Presenter can ask to promote genuine
discussion, rather than just *stand up and tell*.
This
whole approach has to be seen to be appreciated. Words
don't do it justice.
You can
get your copy with the Happening Now CD showreel above.
Real
Video is Coming of Age
Some of you may have noticed that Real Video webstreaming has improved dramatically
over the last 6 months. Video has actually become watchable on the web, instead
of constantly breaking up every time there's net congestion.
This
is partly because lines are faster, with increasing use
of broadband (or ADSL) and partly because Real now detects
congestion and will automatically stream your video at
a lower quality rate. Yes, this means a temporary loss
in quality, but at least it doesn't completely fall over
the way it used to.
Here
at the Studio we intend to implement Real Video on our
website in the course of the year. So keep an eye out,
and if you like what you see when it arrives, then contact
us and we'll let you know how we do it.
In
the Pipeline
Hmmm ... let's see. New Sustainability video project with Carillion, eight
*Don't Walk By* style modules for Pilkington, and an adaptation of Don't Walk
By for Crown House Engineering, plus mucho work in progress nearing completion.
