Every school district has its stories to tell — and video is one of the most compelling ways to help viewers share in those stories with their own eyes and ears.

The Capital Region BOCES Communications Service can help school districts harness the power of Web-based, broadcast and distributable video through its Shared Video Communications Service. Video is likely to remain — and grow — as a key communications tool, based on current research that shows:

The number of online video viewers in the United States is projected to rise from 114 million in 2006 to 183 million in 2011.

Eighty percent of current Internet uses download video, and that figure is expected to increase in the years to come.

Through the BOCES Shared Video Communication Service, school districts can capitalize on their use of video without having to invest in the necessary camera gear and computer hardware/software while utilizing the skills and collective experience of our trained communications specialists and graphic artists. We offer:

Pre-production story assessment and planning

Script writing

Video shooting

Voice-over narration and multi-channel audio editing

Creation and integration of graphic elements and animations that reflect district branding/identity

Digital editing and compressing of final video into a variety of formats for use on Web sites, cable and TV broadcast, and marketing or training DVDs

Video server for storing/serving district’s Web site videos.
