We were impressed by Pipe Doctor’s technology and aimed to leverage this from the outset. Our suggestion was to elevate the product and experience from the perception of it’s user. We’d do this by employing motion design to lead viewers through the journey — while simultaneously amplifying the dynamics of the technology. This approach would give us the ability to fully control the light, motion and environment of the sequence, while also presenting a more engaging experience for viewers.
We began the process with a site visit to see a live demonstration of Pipe Doctor in action. We recorded the session with photography and video to capture every detail of the process and help sequence the motion design.
Having gathered all the research, we drafted a detailed storyboard which outlined how we saw the video working when it came to narrative and motion. The storyboard was a key step in guiding the brief for our motion design team — ensuring that they knew exactly what we were looking to achieve in the video. As there was to be no script or voiceover, we created an animated toolkit within the video to clarify action required at key points of the process.
The final video presented a sophisticated, immersive and timeless motion experience; one that elevated the status and capability of this cutting edge technology.
The response to the new execution of the Pipe Doctor video has been hugely positive. S1E are confident that the motion experience will not only be a valuable instructional tool for contractors, but will also positively impact future sales.
