EurekAlert – Best Foot Forward
A few years ago, we created a web video for AAAS (The American Association for the Advancement of Science). Their service, EurekAlert Science News, provides researchers, scientists, and reporters with important updates, including embargoed news.
This video is a great example of how businesses can use video to showcase services or products. A well-crafted video explains what you offer while making a strong first impression.
Owning a camera doesn’t mean you can create professional-quality videos. If you want to present yourself well, don’t settle for poorly made content.
Our EurekAlert Science News video was produced in English, then translated and captioned in five languages. This helped it reach a global audience quickly and effectively.
At Crystal Pyramid Productions, we ensure every video tells a compelling story and reflects the highest quality. Let us help you put your best foot forward.
You may notice that we videotaped the interviews using green screen which is a great tool for video editors. You can put anything in the background which can help illustrate what the person on video is talking about.
In this case, the people included in this video, who are scientists and science reporters, speak about how Eurekalert helps them learn about and disseminate scientific news as it is happening. In some cases, AAAS releases embargoed news to reporters before general audiences can see it.
About AAAS
According to Wikipedia, the AAAS (American Association for the Advancement of Science) was created in created in 1848 in Pennsylvania. At that time, the society’s goal was to promote scientific dialogue in order to allow for greater scientific collaboration. By doing so the association aimed to use resources to conduct science with increased efficiency and allow for scientific progress at a greater rate.
The association also sought to increase the resources available to the scientific community through active advocacy of science. In its beginning, AAAS had only 87 members. Today it is the world’s largest and most prestigious general scientific society, with 126,995 individual and institutional members at the end of 2008. AAAS is the publisher of the well-known scientific journal Science, which has a weekly circulation of 138,549.
