Capabilities
Stonehouse Media Incorporated® capabilities are all focused on engaging an audience and creating action.
These capabilities include:
Script to Screen Video Production
Once our clients connect us with their content experts or describe the story that they would like to tell, we produce video productions with all the needed expertise, services and technology. Our video productions are often seen on and off-line. No matter the delivery, Stonehouse Media has the expertise to make your programs look great around the globe. We also have quite a bit of technology developed for optimizing Internet delivery and measuring the audience. Our video production work is seen in the public and private sector for education, training and marketing.
Web Development
Web Development is more than just creating websites. It involves all of our Internet R&D, great design and the integration of databases and compatibility with different browsers and operating systems.
Stonehouse Media Incorporated® realizes the importance of a strong back-end in our web development practices. We use video, graphics or even virtual reality to get the interest and involvement of the user. It is our job to use our web programming expertise to create a meaningful transaction when a user clicks. Our best web development work simplifies transactions while empowering the user.
Stonehouse Media will prepare your image, communicate your message and then gather meaningful information. You might want to create an online brochure, or you may want to develop e-commerce or train and educate those in your organization. No matter what the application, we will provide you with creative professionals that not only understand web development but today’s technologies.
Post Production- Television and Corporate Program Editing, Graphic Design and Animation
Our post production capabilities include video and audio editing, graphic production and compositing. We offer two digital edit suites. Stonehouse Media Incorporated® can have you visit our facility and be your host, or you can login and monitor our progress online from anywhere in the world. Your decision to work with us should be driven by our experienced editors and artists, not just our high tech editing systems.
Computer Based Training (CBT)
Stonehouse Media Incorporated® creates interactive training and educational tools that engage the user with audio, video, graphics, animation and Virtual Reality. Most importantly, we use these production values to teach with proven conventions.
The interaction of our CBT allows the trainees to completely immerse themselves in the interactive training material. We can improve comprehension by taking a student or trainee right into a hands-on computer based training experience. Stonehouse Media is not your typical educational computer based training company. We use our expertise in television, animation and Virtual Reality to design unique interactive training and learning experiences that are positive, challenging and fun.
Learning Management Systems (LMS)
Stonehouse Media Incorporated® created its own Learning Management System or (LMS) that engages and leads the user with audio, video, graphics, animation and Virtual Reality. Most importantly, we use these production values to teach with proven conventions. We have also designed our “LMS” to be more than the typical industry standard. We call ours an “online learning network,” because we have focused on designing a simple and intuitive distance learning platform that serves the Audience with great production quality and rock solid stability. We also have integrated webinars, webinar archives, online resources and podcasts. We report to managers as a feature, but we go way beyond the typical Learning Management System.
The Stonehouse Media LMS or online learning network allows for delivery of learning activities, and learner assessment in an online environment that completely immersed the trainee in the interactive training material. Our LMS offers multiple modes of learning—from self-paced coursework (Web-based seminars and classes, CD-ROM and video content) to scheduled classes (live instruction in classroom settings or online) to group learning (online forums and chats). We use our expertise in television, animation and Virtual Reality to design unique LMS experiences that are positive, challenging and fun.
From the moment the user begins a Learning Management System we’ve designed, we can track every click or amount of time spent with specific material. We can also disseminate those results to the user, a manager or anyone important to evaluating the learning process.
Interactive Media
Stonehouse Media Incorporated® has focused on bringing our quality graphic interface design to the front end of deep interactive media experiences that get results. Immersive environments combined with unparalleled tracking of responses gives you a tool that can be used to train, educate, enlighten and entertain.
We create immersive and interactive media experiences for audiences using several computer platforms including CD-ROM and DVD-ROMs, Internet, Intranet, Kiosks, and other future interactive media. With a background in broadcast film and video, we are uniquely prepared to integrate the highest quality production values as different interactive media converge in the areas of graphic interface design, programming, graphics and animation, video delivery, virtual reality creation, database creation and Integration, platform testing and delivery.
Special Effects and Animation
Whether you need to create a logo reveal to open a show or a photo realistic synthetic scene for a feature film, we bring experienced modelers, animators and editors to design your special effects.
Television and Interactive media utilize more graphics and animation to create special effects than ever before. Understanding movement and the integration of graphical elements is integral to the success of messages created for the TV, a CD-ROM or the Internet. With today's bigger televisions, projectors and hi-rez computer monitors, the need for high quality imagery and special effects is more critical than ever. Stonehouse Media Incorporated® has the creative talent and the facilities to ensure that your message is enriched by the integration of 2D graphics and 3D animation.
Virtual Reality
Take your clients or trainees on a virtual tour of anything, be it a facility, product or even the human body. On this tour, they can pick up objects, wander through spaces, zoom in on details, and click on objects for a different view, a schematic or specification. All this interactivity offers the user a complete Virtual Reality experience from their hard drive, CD-ROM or Web site.
While working in our Virtual Reality programs, the user will not only view, but experience and interact with intelligent objects and scenes while we track their progress for later evaluation.
Virtual Reality will show the user how something really works - no more struggling to bring to life flat photographs with little or no interaction. Photo-realistic Virtual Reality is proven effective for presenting products and services or delivering high quality training with greater retention.
From the moment the user begins a computer based training program we’ve designed, we can track every click or amount of time spent with specific material. We can also disseminate those results to the user, a manager or anyone important to evaluating the learning process. See examples of our interactive and computer based training programs.
Multimedia
In the past, the word Multimedia described an entertaining slide projector show. Now Multimedia has become an all-encompassing word that describes the combination of audio, video, graphics, animation and virtual reality delivered on CD-ROMS and the Internet. Stonehouse Media Incorporated® has always used movement and different types of media to stimulate and involve the viewer.
But does multimedia work? Does it reach the goal as planned? From the time our people worked on laser disc presentations to educate medical professionals, to creating the streaming websites today, we have focused on whether the presentation meets its goal. Our work will convince you that our use of multimedia is not only stimulating, but also meaningful to our client’s application.
Internet Marketing
The Internet has done more than provide a place for new business to occur. Products and services are being marketed and sold to audiences without boundaries or territories. This limitless market is being developed in every direction and sometimes without the planning that is necessary to create long-term successful business.
Stonehouse Media Incorporated® helps maintain simplicity in Internet Marketing and Sales, while embracing the overwhelming powers of the web. Our internet marketing programs will help you drive targeted traffic to your site that translates into leads and sales. We use innovative consumer focused internet marketing techniques and then we analyze the results. From search engine optimization, search engine advertising, and creative banner ad programs, to database integration and personalization, our team of internet marketing specialists are prepared to help you promote and sell your products and services online.
508 Compliance
Stonehouse Media Incorporated® creates programs that engage the audience. No matter the content or style, we always consider all of our audiences and how we can help them retain their message. This should be no different when creating 508 compliant products. Stonehouse Media understands the technologies that assist delivery, but we design and push each program to its limit. It takes a careful balance of production to succeed at stimulating an audience while staying 508 compliant. The United States Department of Education has raved about our work and ability to meet their needs.
