Challenge: Communicate the value of the Help to Grow course through an authentic business case study, allowing potential participants to connect with real-life outcomes.

Creative Elements: The video focused on authentic storytelling, with footage of Trough-Tec’s day-to-day operations to ground the narrative in real business impact.
Open House Pictures created a powerful case study video that illustrated the real-world benefits of the Help to Grow program for Trough-Tec Systems.

A product video is a type of short form content that showcases all the different areas of your product. It allows your audience to get a full picture of what you’re selling and why it’s worth them making a purchase. The beauty of a product video is you can make a variety of different types that best suit what you’re selling.
Product videos can suit a wide range of budgets. If you’re after something cost effective that shows off your product in a studio or if you want to get actors and locations involved, there’s options for everyone. If you have an idea or examples of product videos you like the look of, then that’s a great starting point. With all of our product clients our focus is on the best results from the budget you have.
This depends on the type of product video you’re looking for. Something more simple like a studio setup can take a lot less time as it’s a simple type of video to make. If you’re wanting to shoot at a location, for example a living room or kitchen, with actors then this can take longer to prepare and longer to edit. That being said most product videos tend to be completed anywhere from a couple of weeks up to 1-2 months.
Firstly, having a finished product and a general idea of what type of video you’d like to create is a great starting point. We’d then have a meeting to discuss the exact requirements with a few straightforward questions so we can give you the most cost effective quote possible.
