We bring your solutions to life with striking video, audio, and animation.

For over 30 years, PowerTrain has been providing animation, narration, video production, voice-over, and photography support solutions to customers across the world.

• Simulation: For the Air Force, PowerTrain’s graphic artists used state-of-the-art tools to create 3D animations for simulation-based training and immersive learning environments. PowerTrain created 3D animations showing airbase threat response, attack, accident, and disaster scenarios — including missile launch sequences and nuclear, biological, and chemical activities. A complete graphical air base was created, and each 3D scenario included a full-length animation and associated training content. Our expertise in designing and developing 3D animations and immersive environments is evidenced by the Brandon Hall Award we received for the Best Use of Virtual Worlds for Learning.
• Expert Advice with a Twist: This solution is an excellent means of adding credibility to a course as it provides advice from experts with a fun twist of animations. Expert advice may be presented in brief video segments, which show the experts speaking, or by audio narration. For USAJOBS Recruit, PowerTrain used seasoned vets who have “been there and done that” with regards to managing the Federal Employment Process. We added animations accenting important points to create the two-minute online application, Crafting an Effective Outreach Message.
• Animations in Performance Applications: Another innovative opportunity to use animations to engage learners is to create a performance application that is available to the audience outside of the training. With an app, hands-on actions and activities can be loaded onto the mobile device to be at the user’s fingertips when they need them. Apps are particularly effective as a bridge to keep instructional information available to users after the training has ended. PowerTrain develops apps to provide ongoing access to course information, extend the capabilities of training courses, and link training to the work site. The app shown here is from a U.S. Department of Energy Employee Safety and Health course. It includes information on ergonomics, safe driving, and how to reduce aches and pains through stretching. This app was developed for the iTunes and Google Play stores.

Narration

Our in-house source of creative professionals can also provide you with inexpensive, high-quality audio narration. Alternatively, we can tap into our expansive network of professional narrators. We work carefully with you to ensure that you are happy with the voice quality and pace of the narration. In addition to recording narrator voices in our digital studio, we can also incorporate background music and sound effects into any production.
