THE CHIVAS REGAL STORY - CASE STUDY
Deep in the heart of Glasgow's Gorbals is the Chivas Brothers distillery, renowned for its scotch whisky brands.
This was their first ever induction, intended to replace their powerpoint.
Their objective was to produce a video that inducted more effectively, yet only took 1/3rd of the time normally spent in induction.
After 3 days of filming with 2 actors, Chivas said:
"From the initial meeting through to the delivery of the final product the Studio Rossiter team delivered a first class service. They understood our requirements and met our specifications exactly."

CONTRACTOR INDUCTION PACKAGE DETAIL
The following is a typical package for a 15-16 minute contractor induction video on DVD, usb stick or online stream. In many cases it's also suitable for New Starters or a General Safety Induction.
full script and illustrated storyboard
We combine our know-how with yours to deliver a compelling video storyline. This is part of our creativity package.
It will ensure your induction video is genuinely motivating and informative, and not merely a mind-dulling repetition of the rules.
We can give you at least 4 ideas to make your contractor induction stand out from the crowd, each with reference to your major hazards.
THREE DAY VIDEO SHOOT
3 days video shoot is best, because 2 days usually results in a “rushed” look. A 3 day shoot will ensure you deliver quality footage that’s worth watching.
It’s important that your contractors are motivated to behave safely. So we start by thinking of your Contractors as people, who watch and like television, and are influenced by it.
To this end we give them a piece of television that they can watch and like – and be influenced by. This shows itself in the details.
For example, instead of a bare caption “No mobile phones while walking”, we can show a contractor receiving an incoming call while walking with colleagues, then pausing and standing aside to take the call while colleagues walk on. Their “safe thinking” will register on their face.
Two actors to play the part of 2 contractors
Using actors avoids using your own staff who frequently look wooden and amateur on video.
Also, when a number of different takes are required, actors can repeat each take exactly the same, because they’re trained to do this – unlike your own workforce who will give unstructured camera performances.
Actors will help your video shoot will run more quickly and smoothly, and your audience will see the difference in both in dynamism and quality.
Taking this further, actors will create a storyline for your video, elevating it from a mere recital of the rules into a dynamic dialogue that your audience will relate to.
You can use this to emphasise key points, for example, Method Statements or Permits.
This guide enables trainers & safety managers to get more effective, measurable results through a better understanding of the training video production process.

WHY CREATIVITY MATTERS TO YOU
SUGGESTED THEMES FOR CONTRACTOR INDUCTION VIDEOS
These are just a few ideas. The important issue is to avoid the “droning voiceover” syndrome through use of a creative video storyline to capture the imagination.
This will result in greater attention being paid to the induction video – and, ultimately, greater compliance and less accidents.
We want to see safer behaviour as much as you!
