AN EDUCATIONAL CREATIVE AGENCY
Mindful Designs is a one-stop creative production studio specializing in a fresh approach to educational videos. Whether you need a scripted narrative video incorporating specific learning objectives, “explainer” videos, recruitment videos, or bite-size digestible content, we will deliver the highest quality product.
ABOUT MINDFUL DESIGNS
Our team includes professionals in both the worlds of video production (producers, directors, cinematographers, sound mixers, editors, writers) and education (psychologists, counselors, researchers, public health specialists) so that your videos have the highest quality production value, and are rooted in the most current scientific and educational approaches to learning.
Even if you have never created a video before, what makes Mindful Designs so unique is that we are here for you every step of the way! You are in good hands, as our team works with you to take an idea, craft it thru the grant writing process (if necessary), develop scripts with an eye towards the audience, produce and shoot the video, and finally render your content for delivery. Your videos can be implemented in any format of your choosing for delivery on mobile devices, in conference rooms, thru apps, and everything in between.
Our years of experience in building client relationships has allowed Mindful Designs to really tailor our special skills in knowing how to take seemingly “dry content” of research, product explanations, or company compliance videos and turn them into a visually stunning compelling story that will surpass your goals and objectives. People engage and retain when they are entertained and connected to the story behind the information. Give them content that is of a high professional quality, and they hardly know they are learning.
How Mindful Designs brought one project to life!
"I really had a lot of fun working with Mindful Designs. Their incredible detail-oriented approach on the day of the shoot made it clear that we would get a strong and high-quality content"
Michael Newcomb, Principle Investigator
HOW WE WORK
An instructional video is any video that demonstrates a process, transfers knowledge, explains a concept, or shows someone how to do something. People engage the most with those videos that capture the human experiences and emotions and can let people into the content using an authentic storytelling approach.... Yes, even the simple “how-to” videos. This idea of presenting honest interactions, whether comedic or dramatic, is what’s drives a Mindful Designs project.
Finding the ‘heart’ of any material isn’t always easy, but it’s a challenge that we relish in helping you discover. Mindful Designs is based in the New York/New Jersey area (with a satellite studio in Los Angeles) which allows us to pull from the best possible resources from talent to crew. However, we work with clients worldwide. Being a one-stop creative production studio allows us the utmost flexibility and creative control to meet your needs in the most professional way possible.
This fun and creative process starts simply with us listening to you. Tell us what your idea is, what your needs are, and what learning objectives you would like to accomplish with your video. We then proceed through four important stages to deliver your final product.
DEVELOPMENT (focusing your ideas into a story)
-
Initial ideas, goals, objectives are fleshed out.
-
Preliminary scripts or outlines are developed.
-
Budgets (or grant writing) and timelines are solidified.
PRE-PRODUCTION (getting your story ready to be filmed)
-
Consideration of learning theories and scientific approaches to maximize engagement.
-
Workshopping scripts to fine-tune issues, ensure learning objectives are integrated, and make sure the content will connect with your audience.
-
Casting the talent, assembling the crew, scouting locations, and a thousand other details that you don’t have to worry about, that’s our job.
POST-PRODUCTION (packaging your final product)
-
Your video is edited – with your input – until it is ready to be finalized.
-
Sound editing, visual polishing, and any graphic or music elements complete the process so that your video shines and educates in ways that exceed your expectations.
-
Videos are rendered for delivery across whatever platform you require.
PRODUCTION (bringing your story to life)
-
Most clients enjoy this phase the most as they see their concepts becoming reality while we film.
-
Bringing together our expert teams in producing, cinematography, sound recording, and lighting to shoot your video.
-
Maintaining a professional and creative set, through detailed organization, planning, budget considerations, and food (PRO TIP – A happy set is one with an assortment of Costco muffins each morning!)
The goal of Mindful Designs is always to provide you with your videos
On Target, On Budget, and On Time!
