Educational video production

Our educational video work

All our work

London based educational film studio

As a medium, video offers an excellent way to educate. In fact, it is fast becoming the essential tool for helping educators get their message across, reach more students, save money and achieve their marketing and growth objectives. Complex concepts can be simplified with animation, demonstrations can be captured on film to be shared widely and replayed on demand, and common scenarios can be acted out or filmed live. Whatever the lesson plan or the educational institution’s requirements, video can help.

But when choosing an educational video production company to work with, you need to find one that is reliable, creative and professional, and holds a deep understanding of the complex education sector. Our specialist educational video production team consists of video, animation and messaging experts (check out our education PR credentials) who will create an unforgettable, high-definition production that’s made to last. View some examples of our work below, or keep reading for our educational video production tips. Or if you’re ready to get started, contact our Jamie or Sian, to discuss your brief.

Our educational video process

Our approach to educational video production is efficient and collaborative. We will do a free site visit if necessary, to scope out filming opportunities (choosing your filming location is important). We will then work with your educators – who are the ultimate subject matter experts – to understand what information needs to be conveyed and how best to do it – whether that includes animation, motion graphics, filmed content, interactive features, interviews or case studies, for example. We make sure that any content is then expertly tailored to your target market and your distribution method and we look for opportunities to reuse content across multiple videos.

We have worked with schools, universities and other higher education institutions, edtech start-ups and companies producing online courses for platforms like Udemy. They have called us “exceptional”, “expert”, “specialist” and “a dream to work with”. We would love to take on your educational video production brief.

“Definition helped our organisation produce a very specific teacher training resource, which consisted of four hour long films and 125 short films clips cut from these four films. Definition also helped us with hosting the resource on our website. They were involved in every phase of producing this resource from pre-production all the way through to a lengthy post-production.

“Throughout the entire project, Definition were very present and could always be easily reached – no query/request from us was too big or too small. The crew on filming days were excellent, professional and friendly. Any difficult elements of the project that came up were discussed and dealt with in a timely manner.

“Each member of the Definition team was approachable and very easy to work with. We felt really looked after by Definition throughout the whole project and we are extremely happy with the finished product.”

Nicola Larkin, UCL

“The video team at Definition were an absolute joy to work with. It’s rare to work with an agency that get what you’re hoping to achieve so quickly and do so with such success. Sian, Jamie, Becky and Tab were passionate, creative and professional, whilst remaining sensitive to our context and needs. They kept on-top of every aspect of our project from start to finish and the final result is one we’re really proud of. I couldn’t recommend them enough.”

Beccy Rushton, Brand Marketing Manager at Cambridge University Press

“Thank you to the video team SO much for all your absolutely outstanding work – from the very beginning I knew you would do a brilliant job and bring my vision to life with it. Sian was a fantastic director, and the team did a superb job with the editing. Thank you also for your patience, and hard work to get this complete in such a short space of time and with numerous delays from my end. Everyone loves it!”

Abi Macdonald, Cambridge University Press

“The finished product was delivered to a high standard and captured the intended messages perfectly. Definition were sensitive to the needs of those participating in the video and delivered a video that is suitable for a range of audiences. We hope to work with them again in the future.”

Whether for MOOCs, distance learning, teacher training or catch-up lessons for absent students, high quality lecture videos can be produced quite cost effectively – especially when done in bulk. It’s always worth working closely with lecturers to help them present their content in a way that works well on film.

Students might be consuming content from multiple locations internationally. It’s therefore worth considering immersive and interactive options to keep them engaged. And it’s also important to identify where subtitles are required and where cultural references need to be adapted to ensure maximum comprehension.

Video can be an incredibly powerful student recruitment tool, enabling you to show off your campus, introduce your staff and share engaging endorsements from current students. It’s essential that these films are developed with the distribution strategy in mind: content that works well at education events might need to be adapted to perform on social media.

Your alumni are your biggest ambassadors – providing authentic, word-of-mouth endorsement of your education brand, and often financial endowments too. But alumni can often feel neglected by their institutions. Video offers an excellent way in which to keep them updated on school news and enlist their support in campaigns.
