Another in the series of TV commercials we produced for Epson Printers.
Come behind the scenes on our latest TV commercial series for Epson EcoTank Printers.
We're excited to share one of the new tv commercials that Dream Engine has produced and directed for Epson Australia and the creative geniuses at Adrenalin Marketing Solutions.
This was a fun project to be part of. It was great working with Jimeoin again. He’s a master at getting an idea across in a playful and cheeky way.
If you’re in an industry that’s competing to attract the best talent, Recruitment Videos are a powerful way of publicising the features and benefits of the role to candidates.
Video production company in Melbourne Australia that produces videos to help businesses with the Recruitment process.
When you’re planning your next animation video, it’s helpful to view examples to get ideas.
It also helps to reference animation examples to show the production company the style of animation you want to produce.
So here are some animated videos created by Dream Engine for you to view:
Animated video examples to help develop ideas for your next animation video, and to communicate the style that you want.
Do you have a one minute website video of you explaining to your prospects who you are and what you do? A video ‘elevator pitch’ is one of the most powerful marketing tools you can have for the home page of your website or social media profiles.
But being brief can be a challenge. Apparently Mark Twain once said, “I didn’t have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one.”
We regularly help clients with this challenge. It helps to have a formula. Here’s ours:
Do you have a 1 minute video of you explaining to your prospects who you are and what you do? Here's a formula to help you write one.
If you need to make some short videos of you talking to camera, these tips should help you:
Planning and Scripting: Arrange your content in a structure that makes sense. Use simple, conversational language. Keep your script relatively short and focus on the key points. Shorter videos usually work best.
Rehearse: Practise your script out loud before the filming session. This will help you to become more familiar with it and will make presenting much easier on the day.
Wardrobe: Wear neat, professional clothes. Avoid complex patterns or lines. Darker clothes usually look better on video.
Autocue: If you don't feel confident memorising your script or improvising then we'll load it up to an autocue for you. This will make it a lot easier for you. We'll coach you and give you feedback to help make it come across naturally.
Cue Cards or cheat sheets: These don't work. It will be obvious that you're reading. it's best to either go fully scripted (autocue) or no script or notes.
Discuss or Ask: If you have questions or concerns, please raise them. We want you to have a positive experience being filmed and to feel supported.
Onsite for the Infosys APAC Confluence 2023 event held in conjunction with the Australian Open. Dream Engine captured video and photography of the event which featured a range of speakers including Ash Barty and Adam Gilchrist.
We also created a 'same day edit', which involved having an editor onsite to cut the footage as the event progressed. And then show a 3 minutes highlights video of the event to close the conference.
We've made quite a few of these videos over the years, and it's always a buzz for attendees to see a film of the event while they're still there. We've refined a process to make sure things run smoothly. And bring a super-powerful computer onsite to get the video done and delivered in the nick of time.
The annual Viddy Awards were held last week, and we're happy to say that Dream Engine received a Platinum Award for the fundraising video we produced for the Melbourne Holocaust Museum.
Now in its 27th year, Viddy recognizes excellence in the way video is created, produced, and delivered. Viddy is one of the oldest, largest, and most respected awards programs in the video industry.
This is a film that Ryan co-directed with Adrian Elton from adrianeltoncreative.com, who also wrote the script. It's a project that meant a lot to them personally.
If you run a business, or work in marketing or internal comms, it's vital to know about Remote Video Production, and how you can use it.
Remote Video Production is an approach to making videos where the entire process happens online. Instead of sending a crew, recording takes place remotely from our studio using webcams and a specialised online video recording tool.
This is a video we recently made for DXC for their 2022 Asia Pacific Partner Awards. We interviewed people from across the region, and combined the content with stock footage and music.
We originally started making these videos for clients when they needed to interview people in other States or countries, and were looking for a cost-effective solution that was better than Zoom recordings.
Covid prompted increased demand for this type of approach because of lockdown and safety requirements. While content filmed by a professional camera crew is ideal, there are times where this type of recording works perfectly.
And this approach is great from a convenience and budget point of view.
We've made about 50 Remote Vide Productions by now, and really honed our process to get it looking and sounding as good as possible. If you're keen to learn more, check out https://www.dreamengine.com.au/web-video/remote-video-production-packages/

New work for Porsche Cars Australia. Capturing the action at one of their recent events.
If you want to improve engagement with your website, here are some simple ways to incorporate video…
Home Page Video: Many people prefer to watch rather than read. Give your website visitors the chance to see what you offer and who you serve in a compelling, visual way.
About Us Video: Provide a deeper insight into the people behind your business. What’s your story? Your values? Your mission? Give your audience a sense who you are, what drives you, and what it would be like to work with you.
Thank You Video: When website visitors take an action e.g. fill in a form or sign up, they are served a Thank You Video. This helps to reinforce the decision that they’ve taken, as well as explains what happens next in the process. It also helps to personalise the online interaction.
These are the videos that we most often create for client involved in new website redesigns. And we also use them on our own website at dreamengine.com.au.

Back on set at Revolver. It’s a great location: rough, textured wall, industrial feel, and soft light all make for a really nice feel.

Dream Engine produced series of TV commercials and social media videos for Epson. The purpose of the campaign was to help promote their new range of EcoTank Printers. Here's the story about how we made the TVCs. https://www.dreamengine.com.au/news/producing-tv-commercials-for-epson/
Having a good session in the edit suite working on a new commercial for Unsold.com. It's not every day you get to make it rain.
An excellent day of filming for a documentary featuring yachtsman John Bertrand, who skippered Australia II to victory in the 1983 America's Cup, ending 132 years of American supremacy.
John recalled stories about how the victory captivated the imagination of Australia. How the country came to a standstill. Of pilots that wouldn’t take off...
I know nothing about sailing. But he spoke about connecting with and harnessing the forces of nature. And the relentless pursuit of excellence. Universal ideas. Which helped give me a bit more of an insight into the lasting significance of that victory all those years ago.
Some behind the scenes shots from our livestream event for Infosys yesterday. A truly international event: Our client was in India, our crew in Sydney, broadcaster in the UK, and guests around the world. A few well known Aussies in there. Can you spot them?
These days, most live events have moved online. There’s an energy to live, in-person events that makes them so special. Simply doing the same thing on a webcast just won’t achieve the same effect. This is a different medium. So it needs to be approached in a different way.
Be clear on the type of experience you want to curate. Not just about what you want your audience to see and hear, but how you want to make them feel. What impact do you want to have? How can you reach across the digital divide and really connect with your audience? https://www.dreamengine.com.au/livestream/how-to-run-a-good-live-stream-event/

Here's one of the Social Media videos we created as part of the suite of videos we made to help promote the new Epson EcoTank Printer.
While the TVC commercials were carefully scripted and storyboarded, we were able to, at times, adopt a looser, more improvised approach with the social media videos.
This worked well for Jimeoin who enjoyed the freedom of spontaneously generating ideas.
Throughout the shoot we were able to walk the fine line between loyally capturing the scripted content. While, at the same time, creating space for spontaneity and invention. Which led to some great impromptu moments.
Shooting a series of training videos for Porsche Cars Australia to help support the launch of the new Porsche Taycan in Australia - Porsche's first all-electric sports car.
We’re currently producing a series of short documentaries about working at regional hospitals around Australia. Due to their rural location and current travel limitations, we have been able to direct the filming and conduct the interviews remotely via Zoom.
As you can see from the picture, we can monitor what is being recorded, as well as the camera settings. Interviewees can see our director and interact with him via a laptop.
In this age of Zoom, this process feels surprisingly natural and comfortable. And, as gives is reassurance that we’re capturing the correct content for our clients.
