A green screen studio recording is the most common type for educational video. Knowledge clip, studio recording, lecture video, talking head video, educational video; there are many different names for the type of educational video you can record in our green screen studio recording called the Dragonfly studio. We refer to it as a knowledge clip: a short video by an expert, typically around 6 minutes in length, that is used to transfer knowledge to learners. A knowledge clip deals with 1 topic and typically uses a slide deck or images to convey the story.

The preparation is relatively short and easy. You start with an intake and, if it is your first recording, follow an online course with feedback from one of our Instructional Designers. After booking a slot in the agenda, you will be guided through the recording by one of the studio operators. Because the videos are produced as ''one takers'' that do not require post editing, the video will be available the same day. You can use it immediately. In the article About Knowledge Clips you can learn more about the process.

Filming on location has advantages which might make it the perfect choice for your video. You can film in a relevant setting, show how something works in real life and engage your students by offering an original video.

Using podcasts in education is becoming more and more popular. In the Hummingbird studio you can record a podcast with up to four speakers and even call in someone via videocall. You can make a screen recording if you want to record your screen while showing a specific application. In a screen recording, the screen including your actions on the screen are recorded. It is also possible to record audio simultaneously. If you want to record an voice over you can record your voice over an existing video.

Animation is a great tool for educational videos. The possibilities are endless, but in we short offer two types of animation:

1. Additional Animation: Animations as addition to your video. For example: animated text, lines, graphs, icons or illustrations on top of your video. With this you can give more information or draw attention to a certain part.
2. Full Animation: A fully animated video. Animation simplifies the topic and therefor makes it more clear. Besides you can show things that might not be possible to film.

If you would like to produce a video that does not fit in the one of the standard formats above, this is often possible although planning, recording and editing takes more time and effort in this case. We can record interviews, talk shows, quiz shows and anything you can come up with that supports your educational goals.
