VIDEO IS A POWERFUL MEDIUM TO COMMUNICATE YOUR RESEARCH
Cut through the noise! Video is proven to be one of the most engaging mediums to share your research.
Wiley report articles with a video averaged 447% higher Altmetric Attention scores and 111% higher full text views on the Wiley Online Library.
Video Bytes
A video byte is a short, 1-minute, video overview of your work and it’s intended impact. This may be a research paper, a team project or the general direction of your lab.
Features
A 1-minute video presenting an overview of your work/paper/lab. We will collaborate with you to plan and script the video and ideally have a key person present on camera (if this is not possible we can use voice over with footage/images/graphics). Your video will be professionally finished with the editing, color grading, custom music and sound design that people expect with a professional video production.
Production
Production of your Video byte should be within 2 weeks of primary shooting.
Costs
We want to deliver to you the highest quality video within the constraints of your budget. This means considering the amount of time and complexity of the filming, number of locations, illustrations, animations, music, voice overs, etc — there’s a lot of elements we need to consider.
Once we have an initial discussion with you about your paper or project we will deliver a quote for your consideration.
Please send us:
- Your abstract (or brief of your project)
- Your location
- Your deadline (if any)
- Your contact details
Video Abstracts
A video abstract is a 2-4 minute video presentation of your research detailing the methods, results and contribution to your field. Ideally this is done with an engaging story telling narrative.
Features
A 2-4 minute video presenting an abstract or detailed overview of your work/paper/lab. We will collaborate with you to plan and script the video and ideally have a key person present on camera (if this is not possible we can use voice over with footage/images/graphics). Your video will be professionally finished with the editing, color grading, custom music and sound design that people expect with a professional video production.

Short-Form Documentaries
Documentary style video can expand on the details of the research you are doing and unfold an engaging story to capture the attention of your intended market. You may be letting the general public know about a breakthrough your lab or department has achieved or reporting to key stakeholders current developments. Documentary story telling is ideal for capturing and holding people’s attention.
Features
Just as with a full-length documentary, this format tells a compelling story of your paper/project/lab with a professionally produced script, cinematic images, music score and sound design. We handle the entire process from concept and story boarding of ideas, to script writing, shooting, and post production, to bring your story to life.
Production
Depending on the locations, graphics, people to be interviewed or to present, a documentary can take some time to pull together. We will work with you as producer/director of your film to ensure the production schedule meets your needs and publishing deadlines.
Costs
Documentary film making can have many elements to take into consideration and so quoting on such a project is done on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us and talk to us about your documentary project.
