The problem: safety software is bought on cost but used on the floor

EHSInsight describes its platform as automating safety, risk and compliance processes, cutting the cost, resources and effort of managing audits, incidents and training. That is the case a buyer has to take to the people who sign off on budget.

The people who use it wear hard hats and carry tablets on a plant floor. So the video had to explain 2 things at once: what the software does, in a few plain words, and what it is worth, in time, paper and money, to a company whose work happens away from a desk.

How the video explains the platform, scene by scene

On-screen text carries every claim, so the video works with the sound off. Select a time to play that scene above.

TimeOn screenWhat it does
The EHSInsight logo with "The Leader in Proactive Safety and Sustainability.", then a 4-way split of workers in hard hats, a figure at an industrial site and charts on a laptop and tablet.Places the brand among the people and sites it serves.
A search bar types "What is the best EHS platform?", then animated charts: "BOOST PERFORMANCE", "CUT COST" and "SAFETY CULTURE", then a tree grows on a dark background.Frames the buyer's search and the 3 results they want.
The logo again, then the platform on a laptop, a tablet and a phone, a safety worker with a tablet on a plant floor, and the laptop on its own.Shows the product on each device, from office to floor.
Callouts "TRACK", "MANAGE" and "REPORT" point to the laptop screen, then a hand signs OK beside "TRANSFORM DATA INTO INSIGHTS".Sums up what the software does in 3 words.
A stopwatch for "SAVE TIME" and a trash can for "NO MORE PAPER", a worker with a tablet under a steel frame, 3 workers labeled "CHRIS" "SON", "SARAH" "MOTHER" and "MOHAMAD" "BROTHER", a worker holding a tablet under a green leaf, then "YOU SAVE MONEY" beside dollar bills.Turns the features into time, paper and money saved, and puts family names on the people kept safe.
A light bulb with "WE LEAD THE PATH TO..." and "...PROACTIVE SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY.", then 3 portraits that spell out "AS SAFETY GROWS WE GROW WITH YOU".Restates the brand promise on people, not screens.
The logo returns with "Visit: EHSInsight.com for your free trial, today."Ends on the free trial.

4 decisions behind the EHSInsight product explanation video

Decision 1

Start from the buyer's search

At 0:07 a search bar types "What is the best EHS platform?" before any feature is shown.

Copy it: Open on the exact question your buyer types into a search engine, so the rest of the video reads as the answer.

Decision 2

Chart the 3 outcomes before the product

From 0:11 to 0:14 bars rise under "BOOST PERFORMANCE", "CUT COST" fills in and the "SAFETY CULTURE" line climbs. The platform screens only arrive at 0:20.

Copy it: Show the results first, so the product appears as the way to get them.

Decision 3

Sum up the software in 3 words

At 0:26, 3 callouts, "TRACK", "MANAGE" and "REPORT", point at the laptop screen, then "TRANSFORM DATA INTO INSIGHTS" closes the idea.

Copy it: Name what your product does in 3 single words and point each one at the screen.

Decision 4

Cut back to the plant floor

Workers with tablets appear at 0:22, 0:41 and 0:46, and the video ends on 3 portraits spelling "AS SAFETY GROWS WE GROW WITH YOU".

Copy it: When users work away from desks, cut between the UI and the place it gets used.

From EHSInsight's platform screens to a 73-second explanation

  1. Search-first script. The script was ordered as an answer: the buyer's search, the 3 outcomes, the platform, its 3 jobs, then the savings.
  2. Graphic design. The search bar, charts, callout lines, stopwatch, trash can and tree were designed in EHSInsight green and blue.
  3. 2D animation. The logo build, the growing tree, the rising charts and the hand signing OK were animated.
  4. Platform on devices. EHSInsight screens were placed into laptop, tablet and phone mockups and tied to "TRACK", "MANAGE" and "REPORT" callouts.
  5. Compositing and effects. Name callouts, the green leaf and text were layered over the shots of workers on site.
  6. Sound, music, edit and grade. Sound design and music were set to the cut, then the video was edited to 1:13 and color graded.

Scope of work:

  • Graphic design
  • 2D animation
  • Motion graphics
  • Visual effects
  • Compositing
  • Sound design
  • Music
  • Final editing
  • Color grading

Production took 3 to 4 weeks on a budget of $1,200 to $2,000. See the motion graphics video production service for how a project like this is scoped.
