Video Review:

The video starts with an introduction about the telemedicine company by its CEO, Darwin Fogt. In this almost 5 minute video, Mr. Fogt informs how the wellness physical therapy exercises reduce a patient’s risk from developing Type 2 diabetes. He also briefs on how the patients are referred by the physician and how they are inducted into the program, and trained with unique physical therapy exercises.

Some salient aspects:

The explainer video is created with live video footages, combined with images and text animations.

• The entire video is created with clear, unfussy background, not causing any distraction, and makes a viewer to remain focused on the topic.
• The texts are displayed in white colour with greyish background symbolizing eWellness corporate colours. It facilitates the viewer to have good readability.
• The CEO’s voice is crisp, audible and all the medical terminologies are easy to understand.
• The pain areas are displayed in reddish colour and it helps the viewer to easily identify the ailment zones.
• Video footages of exercise kit, exercise demo of the licensed physical therapist help viewers to easily grasp things.
• No direct CTA, but indirectly conveys to the viewer to participate in the eWellness program.

      The message and concept of Herds is so diverse that explaining it in 2 minutes seems impossible. Yet, using a video to demonstrate what Herds is about proved to be a masterstroke.

From family to golfing buddies to even groupies, it gives us a great idea of how diverse and useful the Herds app really is.

      The document sharing solution that Box is providing may not be unheard of, but it surely is completely different from the rest. It actually recognizes the user’s needs and supports multiple documents platforms and allows the users to customize and share documents right there. It can be accessed from a laptop, smartphone or table. Plus, it can be actually into whatever platform your business uses, making it customizable.

Video Review:

      As a sort of presentation for their first seminar called BoxWorks, they created an explainer video. There are certain features that make this video very unique as well as informative.

• The video uses no voiceover what-so-ever unlike most explainer videos.
• There is upbeat rock music in the background.
• One look at their website shows that their corporate colors simply revolve around white and blue. Following suit their video has a blue background and white text.
• Motion graphics have been used for typography and 2D images in making the video interactive.
• The video mainly focuses on the advantages of Box and statistics.

      Since, this video is more of a teaser rather than a startup video pitch, the fact that it does not explain the product is entirely acceptable.
