Educational and manual videos are teaching materials that clearly share work procedures, machine operations, safety precautions, customer service methods, etc., using video and audio. They can show movements and key decision points that are difficult to convey with text or photos alone, and also help standardize training content.

Repeatable High-Quality Education Possible
Since the same content can be viewed repeatedly, variations in explanations by instructors are reduced, and learners can review necessary parts at their own pace. When combined with in-person training, explanation time can be shortened, allowing more time for practical exercises and Q&A.

Determine the format of teaching materials according to the educational objective
The following are examples of structures to consider during production. Determine the number of videos, their length, and content by confirming what the target audience should understand and what tasks they should be able to perform.
New Employee Training: Standardize Common Explanations
Summarize basic rules and work flows into videos, and use them in combination with instructor explanations, practical exercises, and questions. Choose words that beginners can understand and organize the order of explanations. For construction site entry explanations, please also see Production Guide for New Entrant and Safety Education.
Work Manuals: Make Necessary Procedures Re-watchable
We will consider how to divide the entire task into units such as preparation, operation, and confirmation, not just compile it into a long video. We will show movements, places of operation, and points of judgment on video, and confirm the names and procedures used on-site with the person in charge.
Skill Transfer: Preserving Movements and Reasons for Decisions
We film the work of experienced individuals and interview them about what they look at and why they make certain decisions. We organize the judgments based on experience and the procedures confirmed by the company to create teaching materials for the next person in charge to learn from.
Confirm Usage and Updates After Delivery Before Production
Determine Viewing Location and Equipment
We confirm the actual viewing environment, such as screens in training venues, terminals on-site, and internal shared locations. We discuss the delivery format based on whether audio can be heard, if subtitles are necessary, and who the information will be shared with.
Decide Who Will Confirm the Content
Before production, we decide who will confirm work procedures, safety precautions, terminology, etc. We organize the scope of what will be conveyed in the video and what will be supplemented through practical training or explanations by staff, and also confirm the information to be released and to whom it can be shared.
Separate Parts That May Change
We consider changes in equipment, procedures, and internal rules, and design the structure so that parts to be updated are identifiable. We also discuss methods for displaying versions and revision dates, and how to handle old versions after updates. The scope and cost of additional filming and re-editing will be confirmed during the estimate.
Information to Organize Before Estimating / Production and Confirmation Flow
Production Flow
- Confirm Target Audience and Educational Objectives
- Organize Work Procedures and Precautions
- Create Script, Storyboard, and Filming Plan
- On-site Filming and Interviews with Stakeholders
- After Editing and Confirmation, Deliver in a Format Easy to Use Internally
We also support the video conversion of existing paper manuals and training materials.
Production Example: Organizing New Entrant Briefings with Video
This is an example of compiling repetitive new entrant briefings for construction and civil engineering sites into a video, and using it in combination with Q&A sessions with staff. We introduce a method of use that separates common explanations from content that staff will supplement.
Motion Visual Japan Inc. organizes "who needs to understand what and to what extent" through on-site interviews. We combine live-action footage, diagrams, subtitles, and narration according to the objective to create teaching materials that enable people to act without hesitation on-site.
The following are videos for explaining service content during sales, not for training. Please view them as a reference for methods of organizing and conveying complex content in an easy-to-understand manner.
Service Introduction Video for Prospective Customers
We produce videos that allow even inexperienced salespeople to easily explain service details during sales activities. Using such video tools can eliminate the need for repetitive explanations.
Frequently Asked Questions about Educational and Manual Videos
Can you consult with us based on our existing paper manuals?
We organize the procedures and actions you want to show on video based on your existing manuals and training materials. If you don't have all the materials, we can still consult with you based on your current explanation methods.
Is one long video or several short videos better?
We will consider whether the training is for learning at once or for referring to specific parts during work. We will estimate the production scope, including the configuration, editing, and review work if the number of videos increases.
Can the content be updated after production?
We will confirm the content that is expected to be updated before production and discuss the structure and delivery format. Since re-editing or additional shooting may be necessary depending on the changes, the cost and schedule for update work will be confirmed each time.
Pricing and Consultation for Educational Videos
We will provide an estimate based on the content of the educational material.
The cost will vary depending on the number of educational materials, shooting locations/days, organization of work procedures, and whether diagrams, narration, and multilingual support are included. The scope of production, scope of revisions, delivery format, and conditions for additional charges will be confirmed at the time of quotation.
Estimated Pricing and Quotation Approach / Learn more about the video production process
Please provide any information you have when you consult with us.
Please let us know who you want to understand what, how you plan to use it (training, on-site, internal sharing, etc.), and your desired timeframe. We will also ask about the existence of existing manuals or training materials. It's okay if you haven't decided on the number of educational materials or your budget.
We will confirm the method of sharing confidential materials after the initial consultation. There is no need to send confidential materials at the time of inquiry.
