Solution
Traditional solution of similar tasks would be introduction of a welcome screen
in the beginning of presentation where user chooses the language. It works well
under assumption that the language would not be changed in the middle of
presentation and even if it happens the user would probably expect the video
clip to start its playback from the beginning …
While true in most of the cases it creates a potential problem if hotel’s sales
force uses this presentation to address multilingual audience.
To achieve uninterrupted video playback when language of presentation is changed
– we synchronized all 5 sound tracks to video sequence in and wrote a piece of
code that starts playing requested sound track from current play head position.
Further original video was split to form logical sections of presentation;
accompanying text has been added along with animated demonstration of
conference space layouts.
Final product was prepared for distribution on CD and packaging material was
designed.
Result
The presentation has proven to be a success. It has also won “Meetings Industry
Marketing Award in 2004”
Costs associated with duplication of marketing material and its distribution
were significantly reduced.
