Video Examples

Order: Video tutorials to support the lectures "Introduction to Materials" (above) and "Chemistry for Civil Engineers" (below).

Content: Strengthening the lecture and the instructor while upholding the content coming along demonstratively or illustratively.

Technoloy: Framing and background are combined so that graphics, images and short texts (keywords, outline) can be displayed next to the speaker. For a more detailed view on that content, we switch to fullscreen. The corpus supports the speaker during the longer statements.

Order: presentation of outstanding archive objects within the scope of the video strategy of the ETH Library.

Content: different objects were recorded in detail with a high degree of quality; the videos can be identified as part of a series.

Technology: the objects were grouped together and filmed in accordance with the technical production requirements. Lighting, moving cameras and a high degree of precision in execution were prerequisites during production, which were supplemented with aesthetic aspects during post-production.

Order: production of a video as a mean of communication for the ETH Foundation.

Content: ESOP (Excellence Scholarship & Opportunity Programme) participants thank their donors, and in doing so a great deal of diversity was to be achieved. The implementation was to be authentic, and thus in line with the age group of the students.

Technology: all statements were recorded in the video studio in front of a green screen, and then selected, spliced and cropped during editing. Animations created especially for this purpose by an illustrator were superimposed onto the board selected as the background. The audio mix combined original sounds with music and CD elements.

Order: A series of videos with experiments in building mechanics to illustrate learning material. Visual designs were developed together with the customer and recordings were set up to visualize models and processes as accurately as possible while allowing for swift changes to the setup at the same in order to reduce cost. Editing and graphics lay with the customer.

Content: Different experiments and models were shown from different angels. The image produced was overlayed with graphics in postproduction to establish a link to theory and allow for comparisons with reality. Measurements made during recording are displayed and contrasted with the theoretical values.

Technology: Detailed preparations and thorough visual control during recording made sure the videos could be combined with graphical overlays in postproduction. Measurements were made during the recording and synchronized for later reference in relationship with the learning material.

Order: video for the information campaign of SSHE (department for Safety, Security, Health and Environment) on the subject of "Evacuation".

Content: the relevant content was serious, but conveyed in an entertaining manner. A topic that is relevant for all members of ETH had to be implemented in a form that would also provide an incentive to watch the video.

Technology: an illustrator realised the drawings, which had been planned together with SSHE. Using the ceiling camera and time-lapse technology, the result of her work was turned into an animation, which is particularly attractive due to the original drawings and the associated dubbing.
