DHL Worldwide Express

For this international airline and overnight shipping company we produce a regular employee communication, DHL News Network.

To make the videos interesting and credible, we created DHL News Network with broadcast news magazine production styles and values. Typically, editions are about 15 minutes in length and include a number of stories from the US and abroad, reported and written like news stories. The show has original music behind the show opening.

Recently we have also completed a number of critical employee communications videos and a revised new employee orientation.

Production of a new video introducing and describing Symyx's extraordinary life sciences discovery tools is now complete. We began working with Symyx in 1999 and their videos have been shown successfully around the world in their marketing and sales efforts.

In the life sciences, Symyx uses high-throughput screening to discover new pharmaceutical compounds. It also employs high-throughput technologies to discover new materials in the chemical and electronics industries.

Applied Biosystems

This company, which built the equipment to map the human genome, is one of the driving forces in life sciences in the world. We have shot in Foster City, Boston, Geneva, Seattle and St. Louis to produce B-roll, investor relations videos, and executive communications to employees worldwide.

Our work with Applied Biosystems is an important example of our ability to work with the complexities of bioscience and translate both emotion and technical detail to general audiences.

Our most recent video for Bayer supports a new biological product manufactured in Bayer's Clayton, North Carolina facility. The video was shot in Clayton and Cleveland, Ohio. Resources from the production have been used as well in other projects for Bayer, including on its web site.

As with previous projects for Bayer, we didn't just take pictures of buildings and machinery, but we also found human stories to emphasize the value and importance of the pharmaceutical product.

Biotech consultant Kim Fish was point person for Bayer. She says: "By working with the excellent professionals at DeVries Media, we saved money, got our project done on time, and produced a quality video which pleased scientists and senior managers at our client firm. I have already recommended them to others, and hope to have the chance to work with them again."
