Custom Video: SharePoint in Plain English
By leelefever on August 17, 2009 - 7:42am
While licensing our videos is still the focus of our business, we have taken on a few custom projects this summer. The first to be published is a video we were hired to produce called "SharePoint in Plain English," about Microsoft's enterprise collaboration tool. The focus of the video is to introduce Sharepoint and illustrate the old way (project info exists on multiple computers) vs. new way (project info lives in SharePoint).
Updated: Microsoft has made this video available for download so you can share it easily on Intranets, presentations, etc.
One of the things that attracted us to this project was the potential to expose our work to SharePoint users. We were so happy to work with the SharePoint team, who was flexible and very open to our interpretations. It was one of the smoothest projects we've completed to date and we appreciate their focus and dedication. Plus, it's always nice to work with local organizations.

I've always admired Meetup's goal to use the Internet to get people
together in the real world. We were happy to be able to work with them
to get that message in front of more people. Douglas Atkin and the
rest of the Meetup folks were a pleasure. Did you see the recent <a href="http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_24/b4088088652060.htm?chan=search">article about them</a> in Business Week?

Tax season. Ugh. I know. When we were first contacted by H&R Block
we wondered if tax preparation was something that would be a good fit.
However, after seeing <a href="http://www.hrblock.com/tango/">Tango</a>
for the first time, it made sense and we were impressed. The Tango
experience is a personal one that's designed around removing the pain
of taxes and making it a little fun. We all need more levity, right?

<a href="http://www.enerjy.com">Enerjy</a> was our first client production focused on the world of software development tools (its a plug-in for <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/">Eclipse</a>.)
Enerjy does something unique: it looks at Java code and produces the
Enerjy Index - a 1-10 scale of integrity. This helps developers
understand what parts of the code are likely to produce bugs - and
why. The video will hopefully make this clear:

We love making videos that explain truly innovative products. Such was
the case for the video we produced for the Google Maps for Mobile
team. The video explains a new feature of <a href="http://www.google.com/gmm">Google Maps for Mobile</a> called "My Location" that makes using a mobile map much more efficient by establishing your location without GPS.
