Media is a powerful way to bring learning to life. A compelling scene, a well-told story, or immersive animation can transform a learning experience, capture the hearts and minds of your audience, and help make learning stick.

Media is an essential tool for L&D teams to leverage, and often, it’s one best executed with the help of an expert learning or video partner (ideally a partner that’s both). But when that time comes, you want to be prepared—video production is a complex process and you want to be a good steward of your budget.

That’s what this free tool, Video Production Guide: How to Make the Most of Your L&D Video Budget, is all about. No more feeling underprepared and overwhelmed when creating video projects with a partner—this guide will help you get clear and feel confident.

What you’ll get when you download the interactive guide:

  • Key considerations and tips for setting your project up for success, including an overview of different video styles, budget factors, and key input to give to your video partner
  • Key considerations and tips for making the most of your video budget, including talent and location decisions and cost-effective ways to add flair to your project
  • Interactive learning-video examples throughout the guide to provide you with real-life inspiration

Set yourself up for success

When you’re getting started with a learning video project, every detail has to be considered—should you hire actors or use team members? What type of animation is best for your goals? And how can you get the results you want without blowing your budget?
