BrandWatch (web-app) Introduction

BrandWatch.net wanted to have more of their site visitors sign-up for a live demo. This screencast is linked on their frontpage and shows the viewer the major features of BrandWatch with clear examples of how you can use their product to monitor your brand's reputation, ending with a clear call-to-action.

This screencast was used by CNET in a review of BrandWatch via the copy I uploaded to Vimeo to increase their exposure.

VisualSVN

VisualSVN.com needed to replace their older 6 minute video with a shorter, sharper video which conveyed the same information more concisely.

This resulting video runs for 4 minutes and shows you how to install their VisualSVN source-code-manager into Visual Studio 2008 and how to create, share and update a project between two developers.

Techniques include zooms, Flash-based 'Download' links at the end (they only work in VisualSVN's site), text annotations to differentiate the three machines that are shown in the video and a call to action.

Cancelling your Coursework.Info Subscription

Coursework.info wanted to reduce the number of support emails they answered by empowering more site-visitors to cancel their own subscriptions without requiring support.

Techniques used include highlights, on-screen annotations and zooms.
