CASE STUDY
It had to be believable...
We were very conscious of the need to make these dramatized case studies believable for the learners, who are all experts in human behavior. We wanted them to focus on the learning points without being distracted by theatrics.

'High-fidelity' visual storytelling
We worked closely with the Subject Matter Expert throughout script development, as well as on-set during the shoot. We combined his input with our knowledge of drama direction and an attention-to-detail informed by decades as international journalists. It's a meticulous method we like to call our "high-fidelity" visual storytelling approach.
Mission accomplished:
We directed the case studies for maximum authenticity rather than dramatic effect. It worked: we later received the highest compliment when a psychologist pulled our client aside at a conference to chide him for letting a camera crew film a patient's therapy session. The psychologist believed it was a real session!
