We began life making recruitment videos for Universities and companies and we have seen how increasingly important this style of video has become to organisations especially when it comes to student recruitment. Whereas in the beginning it was a tool to have on their website it is now becoming essential that the video now spreads socially via Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to name a few. It is no longer just the one video needed but a series of videos to help promote each department within the University and now it is about having a University Video Portal, which is a far more efficient way to store and share all the video content whilst being able to see who is viewing them.

To discuss your student recruitment video(s) and the web portal or get a quotation contact us either by e-mail info@WeAreVerdant.com or call on 0121 233 3441

Training and Events

Custom Training Videos, Interactive DVDs and Event Videos are specifically designed to deliver the level of proficiency your organisation demands.

Which means it’s probably not enough to simply just turn up and point and shoot. We want to make sure that anyone that watches the video (even us) is happy to watch it all the way through and understands the message that it is trying to get across.

To help you achieve this we offer a choice from many different styles and combinations of training video techniques.

In the examples below you’ll see how we bring together graphics, design, animation, text, music, speech, editing, shooting, scripting and post production skills to deliver effective and convincing videos.
