Converting Written Content Into Compelling Video Captioned Narratives
"Images engage an audience in a way that text can only dream of doing." |
You have done all the hard work. With care and meticulous attention to detail you have crafted your book description, your article, your blog, your social media post, your narrative. So why not leverage your sunk time, and costs, and convert your written content into a stellar video experience? In as little as 24 hours, our seasoned storytelling professionals will transform any text-based document into a video captioned story that will engage your audience 1000 fold, be it with, or without sound. Why 1,000 fold? Well, as you have heard the old adage - "A picture is worth a 1,000 words." And it is! |
Check out a few of our examples below and discover for yourself the power of the video captioned narrative.
We have only just begun producing content for this space. Created in both the 9x16 format to leverage the vertical storytelling movement, and the conventional 16x9 format, the following examples just scratch the surface of what we are capable of producing for our clients. For both established organizations and the new entrepreneur who has yet to launch their product, to individuals who have a personal story to share, we have been blessed to create compelling video captioned narratives for some amazing people. Why not be next!

AllSides - "Critical Race Theory"
Our original client, AllSides, worked with us for a number of months as we built out our solution. If it was not for them, our video narrative business most likely would not have been born. They originally approached us to do some animation work for them but after due diligence and a number of conversations, it became clear that what AllSides really needed was a compelling live-action video experience that could help them share their evergreen content with their followers. After taking a stab at short daily breaking news stories, AllSides decided to leverage all the hard work they put into their AllStance articles and asked us to create two short-form pieces that could highlight two articles they had written, one on Cancel Culture and one on Critical Race Theory. So we did just that. Both video narratives generated a lot of traffic and comments on their Instagram feed. The CRT piece in particular generated more than 30,000 views, 200 comments, and 1,000+ profile views. See the original Instagram post here. For the original AllSides "Critical Race Theory" article, click here. We are pleased with the success of these two pieces and look forward to continuing to produce video captioned narratives that move the needle for AllSides as they drive traffic to their quality articles and build their audience. |

"Gathering of the Tribe" (Fiction)
We created this for a new author who has yet to publish her book. She had not yet finished up her book description so we asked het to send us a 150 word synopsis, like one you would find at Amazon. When the work was done she was thrilled saying "You have a great idea, here. It's so exciting to see the book come to life!...I really like how you incorporated my requests. I can see these being part of my marketing plan for sure. Thank you so much for your work!!" Synopsis: Sophia, an angst-ridden teen, hops the train to San Francisco rather than face her molester, Ed, again. She joins four runaways from Oklahoma. Her hormone-ridden boyfriend Johnny “Trash," “Zen” Ben with rage issues, Noah, a Viking-Cherokee trust fund baby, and Joe, a pragmatic grease monkey. Together they form “The Tribe.” On a quest for home, they get a crash course in street smarts instead. Exploitive adults, sketchy streets, and an LSD induced sprite are only the beginning. Conditions improve finding the perfect camping spot by the Golden Gate Bridge, and white-knuckle adventure as bicycle messengers. The teens decide to form their own society and look to the stars for guidance. When they inherit a sailboat named Orion, they are certain of their destiny. Just when their dreams are coming true, Ed, the pedophile, shows up. The tribe overcomes obstacles, discovering strength in friendship and themselves. |

"Gathering of the Tribe" (Fiction) - Quote Version
An alternative version we created for "Gathering of the Tribe." Incorporating reader testimonials, this shorter version is a great way to establish credibility in the market and is intriguing as it keeps the story a bit more of a mystery. We think both versions work great! Synopsis: What if being free meant living on the streets of San Francisco? 15-year-old Sophia finds out when she joins a band of teen runaways, and forms “The Tribe.” On a quest to find home they get a crash course in street smarts... “I just finished reading this and immediately want to read it again. The pace, action, depth, and characters connect and intrigue.” - Heather B..."I loved the gritty world of the bike-messenger culture - the loyalty, connections, and hierarchies was near ethnographic.” - Kathryn S…”I loved the dialogue - feels so real.” - C. Gentile. Available 2022. |

"The Gospel According to Jack" (Nonfiction)
This trailer was created for a book that is still in the process of development. It was actually the first book trailer we created. The great response we received from the people who viewed the trailer inspired us to dive into doing more trailers for authors. At only 82 words, this book's synopsis isn't a description of what the self-help book is about, but rather select quotes and phrases from the book that we knew would inspire people to want to read more. Synopsis: You were born to Win. To Achieve. To Grow. To attain higher and higher levels of Thought. Good Health. Happiness. Understanding. Awareness. In finding, understanding, and using your spiritual Powers, fear no evil, for you, through those very Powers, invoke the direction, guidance and protection of God! To become free, we must see what holds Us in bondage – Conditioned, limited thinking. You were born to master this life. Let your light shine. The Kingdom of Heaven is within you. Live it! |

Epic Fund
After viewing some of our work, Epic Fund asked us if we could do a promotional piece for their business, even if they did not have any original text to pull from. We said sure! Though our primary business is to convert written work that has already been completed into a video experience, we can created content from scratch. So Epic developed a 118 word original script and we were off to the races! This piece was produced in the standard 16x9 format, and the group at Epic were super pleased with the results. The live-action footage was spot on and helped Epic share their story with the world. Can you imagine shooting all of this footage for Epic? We would have broken the budget before we even set foot on location. |
Script: Can our species figure out how to make the world work? In the shortest possible time? Through spontaneous cooperation? Without ecological and without offense to any one?" Yes! The EPIC Fund, along with others, are doing this at a scale that will help us become net positive to nature within 20 years.

For Our Brave Daughters
Using live-action footage to tell moving stories allows people to connect with each other in powerful ways. Video narratives can certainly be used to build awareness for any product or service, and we love that. But how about a personal message? How about creating a story that you want to share with your family, a friend, or your community? We can do that too. Back in the summer of 2021 the community of Los Gatos got together to honor some very brave women who shared with the world their story or sexual assault and abuse. The father of one of those daughters came to us and asked if we could quickly put together a piece honoring these brave young ladies. We of course said sure. He wrote a short 122 word script in about 15 minutes and we went to work. Incorporating both stock images from our library and stills that he supplied from the event, in no more than an hour he had a finished piece that he could share. This is that story. Script: You are our precious girls. We brought you into this world with our hearts filled with hopes and dreams, knowing that you could be anyone and do anything. We know in our hearts that you still can, and will...Why? Because he didn't destroy you. Because his assault doesn't define you. This is a part of your story, but not your whole story. You are brave. You have stood up to both assault and ridicule. But, you are still standing. And, because you are standing tall, one woman will be safe. One man will act with honor and respect. Your dads, and moms, brothers, sisters, family and friends stand with you and for you. We love you. Especially today and for always. |
