I make training videos for staff with AI image, video and voice models, put together in a conventional edit. The people, the equipment and the site are built from photos of the real thing, so nobody has to be filmed and no crew has to go on site. This page covers training videos specifically; explainers and product clips are on the main AI video production page. I'm based in Melbourne and work with businesses anywhere in Australia.
Equipment maintenance and mechanical training videos
A maintenance procedure on a specific machine, shown step by step with narration cut to the action. These have their own page: equipment maintenance training videos.
Procedure and SOP videos
A written procedure turned into a video that follows the same steps in the same order. Each step gets its own shots, and the narration is cut into phrases so each line lands on the action it describes. 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 same wording as the procedure's own headings. A section can be remade on its own when the procedure changes, and the rest of the video stays as it is.
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.
Induction videos cover the walk-through and the site's own procedures. 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.
Quality awareness training videos
Scenes with a consistent cast of characters for quality awareness, ISO 9001 awareness and workplace behaviour training. These have their own page: quality awareness training videos.
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.
The same kinds of video, gathered for businesses training staff across the company, are on corporate training video production in Melbourne.
How a training video gets made
Every video goes through the same five steps: script and shot list, a still for every shot, clips from the approved stills, voice and edit, then review rounds on a private page. The steps are set out on the AI video production page. The tools behind them are in making AI training video with Seedance 2.5 and ElevenLabs V4.

Questions about training videos
Can a training video be made of our own machinery from photos?
Yes. Each shot starts as a still image made from photos of the real machine, and the still is checked against those photos before it is animated. Small parts that have to be exact are put into the still from a clean photo of the real part, because video models tend to invent the shape of small objects.
Can one training video become a series?
Yes. The approved stills, the presenter and the voice are kept, so later videos in the series start from the same people and places. A long film can also be built in sections, each with its own numbered title, and released one section at a time.
What does a training video script need to contain?
The steps in order, what the viewer should see at each step, and any words that must be said exactly, such as part names or warnings. I can write the narration from a procedure document or a list of steps, and an existing script can be used word for word.
Do our staff have to appear in an AI training video?
No. The people on screen are made with AI image models, so nobody has to be filmed. Uniforms, equipment and the site are matched to photos you send.
For training built around a presenter speaking to camera, HeyGen is the usual tool. What HeyGen does and where it stops covers it.
