She s kind of coaching her dad. There wasn t a whole lot of dialogue, and because they were only trying to make one key point, it worked well, Barineau says. The client was so happy with the video that, since it was produced, Katie and her dad have starred in two more CheckFree videos, with a fourth in the making. Low budget, high marks Another Blue Marble client, Home Depot, wanted a training video to help staff members who give employee reviews. Training people how to properly conduct an employee review is a really big deal, and it was something that had been overlooked.
Positive reviews are easy to handle.
But people react differently in negative reviews. So, they took all of the folks that are being reviewed and broke them into five categories of types of reactions they get during negative reviews. Then Blue Marble hired improv actors for the low-budget video, where they used actual Home Depot facilitators to conduct the interviews. Before the actors went in to be interviewed, they were briefed about the personality type of the person they were portraying - angry, devastated, nervous. Ultimately, the video shows the facilitator bringing the person around and having a productive 360-degree feedback session.
