Transforming webinars into engaging experiences 🎥 ✨

Traditional webinars can often feel monotonous and fail to engage the audience as intended. We recently helped a customer reinvent their approach to long-form educational content. By developing a hybrid talk show/online course, it turned their traditional webinar format into an exciting and interactive experience.

This new style of production not only entertains but also educates, making a bigger impact on any organisational change. Plus, the depth of each topic covered means that from this long-form content we can derive numerous short-form pieces, maximising output and saving both time and money.

Take a look behind the curtains of a Shootsta Premier production 🌟

We partnered with a customer to transform their traditional webinar series into something truly engaging. Instead of sticking to the usual webinar format, we created a hybrid talk show/online course.

The result? High-quality, engaging long-form content that both entertains and educates. This efficient production style allows us to cover a lot of material in an entertaining way, ensuring that every minute is valuable and impactful.

Every month, our customers receive an VIDEO INSPIRATION NEWSLETTER, featuring videos made by other Shootsta clients + some tips on how you can create your own.

Last month was all about eye-catching hype reels videos to grab and keep your audience's attention. Hype reel or ‘sizzle reels’ are flashy, energetic videos to get people excited about a product, an event or something new that’s about to drop.

Below is a sneak peak of a video that featured in last month's newsletter: A hype reel made by Australian Telecommunications Company Optus to promote its latest product ‘Optus Pause’ to customers.

: High energy in hype reels is created by two things: movement and your choice of music. Both will give your video pace and energy. Try it!
