It’s hard to put into words the dramatic transformation that has occurred due to the emergence of the world wide web. Entire industries have been completely transformed due to the astonishing reach and impact of the web. The great news is the team at Richter Studios has been growing alongside this revolution for over a decade, so we’ve got you covered.
“The emergence of the web has to be the single most important development for communications in the past century, if not millennium,” stated President Jeremy Richter. “The challenge we face is to make sure the market understands what can be done with it and to appropriately value the opportunities it affords.”
The web has become so prevalent that a vast majority of Richter Studios’ clients ask for web versions of videos first and tape or disc-based versions as an afterthought. This dramatic shift in thinking has affected the company’s workflow in a variety of far-reaching ways.
“The biggest impact the web has had on business that we’ve seen has to do with overhead,” explained Project Manager Ed Grozich The corporate world revolves around the web and all the amazing things it provides. Brochures and tape-based videos - which used to be a big part of our business - are a thing of a past. We see this as a positive development because it has generally led to less obstacles, cost reductions and the emergence of talent over expensive equipment.”
Corporate America Meets Hollywood Dozens of firms, like Snap-On Tools, have turned to Richter Studios to realize their vision of a true multimedia experience on the web.
In the past year alone, the team at Richter Studios has seen a massive increase in demand for web-based video. In fact, more than 50% of the web projects created by Richter Studios in the past year featured unique video content, often requiring actors, green screens, elaborate scripts - you name it. And fresh new ideas have been emerging at a blistering pace.
Tourism Industry Hip To Virtual Tour. Richter Studios created the award-winning Pinehurst Virtual Tour, which features over 70 videos, dozens of animations, PDF’s and interactive slide shows - all created in-house by the Richter Studios team.
“What’s great about the web these days is that most people really do get it,” stated CEO David Richter. “They understand that online experiences are far more advantageous than traditional print work, and the ROI tracking capabilities of the web are extremely powerful, too. So what we’ve seen is the budgets for online experiences have exponentially grown, which has allowed us to concentrate more of our resources on creating exceptional web content.”
Originally conceived as an animation and interactive boutique, Richter Studios is now a full-blown multimedia house. And while the firm's guiding principles insist that it doesn’t become all things to all people, it does offer an impressive array of services: High-Definition, Video Production, 2D/3D Animation, Editing, Interactive Programming, Web Development, Custom Presentations and Print Design.
“What’s important to us,” explained Jeremy Richter, “is that we stick by our original creed - which is to create inspiring and productive multimedia for our clients. We can’t do everything, but what we can do, we intend to be very good at. Whether that’s online experiences, video productions or custom presentations; we intend to rattle the foundations and make a mark that we, and our clients, can be proud of.”
