I make corporate training videos for staff with AI image, video and voice models, put together in a conventional edit. The people, the equipment and the workplace are built from photos of the real thing, so nobody has to be filmed and no crew has to go on site. I'm based in Melbourne and work with businesses anywhere in Australia.

Corporate video production for training
In this kind of corporate video production, every shot starts as a still image built from photos of the real workplace, then gets animated into a short clip with an AI video model. The narration is an AI voice, cut so each line lands on the action it describes, and the whole thing is assembled in an ordinary edit with titles and on-screen text.
For training, that means a procedure can be shown step by step in its own order, a machine that can't be taken out of service can still be shown in detail, and the same presenter or cast of characters can carry through a whole set of videos.
The kinds of training video
Onboarding videos
A welcome and an introduction to how the business works, for new staff in their first week. The same presenter can appear across the onboarding videos and the procedure videos that follow, so a new starter sees one familiar face through the whole set.
Procedure and SOP videos
A written procedure turned into a video that follows the same steps in the same order. Words that have to be exact, like part names and settings, stay word for word from the procedure. Longer procedures are split into sections with a numbered title for each, using the procedure's own headings.
Site and induction videos
A walk-through of a real site built from photos of it: where things are, the route through the building or yard, sign-in, the gear people wear and the rules for each area. Camera moves through the site are planned shot by shot so each one joins cleanly to the next.
Quality and workplace behaviour training
Scenes with a small, consistent cast of characters for quality awareness, ISO 9001 awareness and code of conduct training. Each character is set up once from reference images and a voice sample, and every shot they appear in is checked against those references. These have their own page: quality awareness training videos.
Equipment and maintenance training
A maintenance procedure on a specific machine, built from photos of the real equipment, with the real parts placed into each still from clean photos of them. These have their own page too: equipment maintenance training videos.
How a corporate training video gets made
- Script and shot list. We agree what the video has to show and who will watch it, then I write the narration and list every shot.
- A still for every shot. Each shot starts as one still image, made with AI image models and checked against photos of the real equipment, product or place.
- Clips from the approved stills. Each still is animated into a clip of five to ten seconds. A clip takes several minutes to generate and often needs another go, so this step takes the longest.
- Voice and edit. The narration is recorded with an AI voice and cut so each line lands on the action it describes. Titles and on-screen text are added in the edit.
- Review rounds. You watch a working cut on a private review page and leave notes against the timecode. Each round of notes is fixed until you sign it off.
Conversations between characters are built the way a filmed one is cut: a sequence of shots, each with the character who is speaking, because one speaker per shot is far more reliable with current video models. The tools behind all of this are in making AI training video with Seedance 2.5 and ElevenLabs V4.
What I need from you
- The script or the procedure, or the points each video has to cover so I can write it.
- Photos of the workplace, so the floor, the uniforms and the equipment match.
- Photos of any equipment from several angles, with close-ups of the parts the training touches.
- Someone who knows the subject to check each section for accuracy during the review rounds.
Current work
Right now I'm producing a nine-minute equipment maintenance training film for an industrial client, built with AI video and voice models and a conventional edit. It is in client review, so it isn't shown here yet. Before AI video I spent fifteen years running my own businesses, including Daniel Bilsborough Photography and DJB Photography School, with a ten-year background in photography and video production. The rest of that story is on the about page.

Questions about corporate training videos
Do you film on location?
The people, the equipment and the site are built from photos of the real thing with AI image and video models, so nobody has to be filmed and no crew has to go on site. Photos of the workplace are what make the floor, the uniforms and the equipment match.
Can one part of a training video be updated later?
Yes. Longer videos are made in sections, each with its own numbered title. When a procedure changes, the section that covers it can be remade on its own and the rest of the video stays as it is.
How long can a corporate training video be?
Anything from a single short procedure to a long film in sections. The longest film in production right now is a nine-minute equipment maintenance film.
How are corporate training videos priced?
Every video is quoted against scope. Send what the video needs to show and who will watch it, or the script if one exists, and the quote comes back from that.
Is there training you don't make with AI?
Yes. Training where a mistake in the video could hurt someone, such as medical procedures or operating dangerous equipment, is outside what I make with AI.
Explainer videos and short product clips are on the main AI video production page, and every kind of staff training video is listed on training video production with AI. For training built around a presenter speaking to camera, what HeyGen does and where it stops covers that tool.
