Multimedia Presentation

A multimedia presentation literally conjures up various images for people, depending upon which raw tools are being worked with on the project.

When we think of the term multimedia, we tend to think of information that has been put together using two or more different art forms, such as video, photographic images, text, music, audio and film, to form one whole presentation. An interactive presentation of different media formats is fun, exciting, and interesting, especially if done by professionals using the most modern techniques and equipment.

Multimedia presentations are usually enjoyable and fascinating to view because of the various art forms that have been combined. Depending on who is defining the term multimedia, it can mean different things to different people. Most people would not consider a book to be a multimedia experience, but add photographs to the text and perhaps a CD to be viewed in addition to reading the book, and you have different forms of media placed all in one package. A music video is a multimedia art form combining both music, film, and often text, too.

An interactive presentation of different media formats is fun, exciting, and interesting, especially if done by professionals using the most modern techniques and equipment.

What some might consider to be simple PowerPoint presentations can actually be powerful multimedia presentations. Some of these presentations seen via computer contain text, animation, video, voice and much more. A multimedia experience will keep your attention on the subject being presented because of the layered ingredients that make it a complete package.

Who, in general, uses multimedia?

Well, really, just about anyone! In the business world, multimedia projects are used in advertising, journalism, publishing firms, government agencies, commercial businesses and more. You may have seen a multimedia presentation on the stage or at a concert, where the artist uses video, lights and other art forms to entertain you. Wherever creativity is needed, the multimedia art form can be utilized.

In our personal lives we put together different art forms to create items that are familiar and important just for ourselves and, perhaps, our entire family. As a hobby, scrap-booking can be considered to be a very personalized form of multimedia work. Scrapbooks can be personal keepsakes made up of photographs, mementos, letters and other items that can be incorporated into these special books.

A family history can be organized and pulled together to form a beautiful multimedia project to be kept and remembered, even passed down to other generations, for years to come. Old family photographs and new family photographs are combined and inter-weaved with letters, film, keepsakes, audio tapes and more to create a one-of-a-kind experience for all to enjoy. Without the use of these various forms of artistic media, most people would simply own a shoebox full of photographs and letters or a photo album of unidentified or poorly kept pictures. Put it all together, though, and history is brought to light.

Corporate Training Videos

Companies want to influence the attitudes and the actions of their employees with corporate training videos productions and workshops.

Smart corporations are using multimedia productions to approach issues such as ethics training programs. A filmmaker will direct the videos, using actors often filmed in a series of short films. The films might touch on dating in the workplace (a boss and an underling), people who claim expertise in areas they don’t have, costs being passed off as company expenses and more.

Filming a corporate event can help a business achieve many objectives. Whether a firm is looking to build more cohesive, stronger partnerships, improve group efforts, help employees become better decision makers, upgrade customer service techniques, address conflict resolution or ready employees for corporate changes, a corporate training video can help translate these goals that are remembered.

Corporate Training Videos

We could film corporate training videos based upon the above topics in a serious tone, making those viewing it aware of the trouble spots that corporate teams can become involved with. People will recall such productions and the lessons learned more. It all depends upon the company and employees and what type of video would work best. But a video would make more of an impact than a binder full of a written code of ethics. That can be handed out as a back-up to the training video.

A corporate training video can also be an online training tool. The videos used for training do not have to be shown in the office, where employees are gathered together in a room for an hour to watch a film. Employees can view these videos at their own computer monitors in their home office. LS3 Studios can help you produce/direct your training videos. We are just a phone call away!

The Classroom Training Today

The learning environment in the classroom today is no longer a matter of just reading textbooks and listening to a teacher’s lectures, but it is a varied use of teaching methods, including instructional video.

With the use of an educational video production, teachers can engage and interest students that might not otherwise have paid much attention to a certain subject.

Educational Multimedia Production

We can incorporate any element of a school curriculum into an educational multimedia production without making the topic seem dry or dull. In fact, the opposite is true! Students often view educational videos (that are produced by the LS3 Studios) to be exciting, satisfying, intelligent, and on their level of understanding the subject at hand.

As a result, we can leverage on the power of video and enhance the learning experience. Interactive training can either be fun, serious, entertaining or straightforward in what it is trying to convey. It all depends upon how the video is written (our storytelling techniques are unique) and for which audience or age group we gear it towards.

We combine graphics, animated video, music, voiceover, and narration, to deliver a new form of storytelling. An educational video production can be quite stimulating and a great learning tool to use in the classroom. We can also place theses multimedia educational videos on a website for students to view at their leisure. With the use of an online video production, we will highlight the most important elements of the lesson. Viewers can take notes or replay sections to review. We can design an online video production to one’s specifications just as an in-class video can be; only the viewing atmosphere will be different.

Educational video is not limited to teachers or school systems. Corporations often require videos to be produced for employee training and business seminars. We often use multimedia videos for training courses, trade shows, sales presentations, product training and training employees. We often use videos that instruct. Take, for example, an exercise instruction video.

When investigating instructional video production companies, look for a company that can offer a pre-production package to research the project, come up with creative input and story development including a storyboard, have a location for your video and cast the video. You will also want an in-house studio, professional lighting, interactive video, professional sound, and editing. For multimedia videos, LS3 Studios can provide you with high resolution video and quality audio.

You will have an educational quality video that is made to your specifications. It may be web-streaming on Vimeo or YouTube and a hosting service to put your digital video online. The principal purpose of this video is to educate your audience, whether they are nine or ninety years old. If your educational video production is stimulating, compelling in its story, and gets your message across, they have done the job.

You need help to reach with your training process to reach your target audience, call us.

Testimonies From Our Workshops

what's your story?
storytelling workshop

“Leonard Smith III’s talk named What’s Your Story?. And what a heartfelt presentation it was. He showed us how to take your family photos & after you have researched their lives tell the person’s story digitally while showing their photos. This was an amazing presentation and to really appreciate it you would have had to see it for yourself because my words cannot give it justice. I was in awe after seeing and hearing a story like this.” ~ Terrebonne Life Lines

“Smith’s skillful storytelling adds up to a compelling narrative that fills a significant void in New Orleans’ history; furthermore, he makes an important contribution to the humanities by helping viewers gain insights into people we have not met and places we have not experienced.” ~ Dr. Kennedy

“His sessions taught us to research the family past, become better storytellers, include photographs, and use multimedia to bring our individual stories back to life. I became a family historian and discovered amazing facts about my clan, dating all the way back to slavery. He was a hands-on teacher, sometimes finding historical nuggets about our ancestors while doing his own research, writing, and presentations. In a former life, I was a school principal for a more than two decades. I know a great teacher when I see one. Adult education is very effective in his informal but structured guidance instructional delivery.” ~ Dr. Smith

“Leonard Smith, III of LS3 Studios, a favorite speaker at seminars in the past, again brought his humorous and interesting knowledge of genealogy and technology to encourage everyone’s challenge of protecting their family’s history for future generations.” ~Lafourche Heritage Society

“Mr. Smith it was a pleasure to hear your presentation at the Le Comite conference . It made me think about what to do with all of my research paperwork.  Telling a story of my ancestors is much better to read for my relatives than looking at charts.  Thanks for a wonderful presentation for enhancing my genealogy.” ~ Sheila, Houston, TX

“For the past four years I attended Leonard Smith III informative and educational seminars. Each time,I attend I learn how to preserve my family history through storytelling and documentary. His blueprint help me to bring my family history to film. I highly recommend that anyone who is interested in learning the art of storytelling attend one of his seminars. Leonard professional skills and experience speak volumes.” ~ Antoinette, Kentwood, LA

“Our family was fortunate enough to learn about some amazing stories thanks to Leonard’s research and it was exhilarating to receive the news! Working with Leonard was the first time I had ever hired a genealogist and it was a positive and enlightening experience.” ~ Stephanie, Seattle, WA

“It still amazes me how he was able to find so many of my relatives with limited information from me. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to work with someone with such great professionalism and expertise. I know it won’t be long before I will be able to pass along a detailed family tree to my daughter so she can understand how the strength of our ancestors is still alive today in her.” ~ Teresa, Ann Arbor, MI
