Video Transcript
00:00 The demand for richer outputs and more efficient workflows is as natural as the need for shorter deadlines and more expedient delivery.
00:07 This has always been the challenge in photo studio production lines, and for our expert technicians here at PhotoRobot.
00:15 It leads to our customers demanding more, while wanting to maintain the same cost or to achieve lower costs with the same equipment.
00:22 In turn, our innovators must build more flexible and scalable solutions, all at competitive market rates, and adaptable to the ever-more dynamic workflows necessary for our customer’s media production.
00:34 To meet these needs in today’s media landscape, this means more than producing only traditional photography, in which photos have simple edited backgrounds, adjusted colors, formats, and shadows.
00:46 While traditional photos like these remain a staple in any portfolio, producing more interactive formats like 360 spins are now commonplace in photo studio workflows.
00:56 360 spin photography allows consumers to view objects from all angles instead of relying on only a limited number of pre-selected views.
01:05 They often support deep zoom functionality as well, and can display hot spots with annotations to draw attention to unique design and material features.
01:14 This makes product visuals both more eye-catching and informative, helping to build consumer trust through every additional piece of visual information.
01:23 Additionally, after producing a product spin with PhotoRobot, customers are only a few steps away (and seconds) from automatically producing a 3D model from their photos.
01:34 3D models are optimized for extremely smooth rotation and flawless details, and convert into assets for product configurators, or augmented reality previews.
01:43 Take for example 3D modeling items of clothing to display in a virtual fitting room.
01:48 That, or projecting a PhotoRobot into a studio for presentation.
01:52 Both become easily possible within PhotoRobot workflows.
01:56 Moreover, while more advanced outputs like these might not be the first element a customer discovers about PhotoRobot, these formats on top of classic photo techniques often make the difference in closing a deal.
02:09 Let’s also not forget 360-degree product video, which PhotoRobot can automatically create as part of a series of outputs.
02:17 Short video loops are ideal for social media and email.
02:20 They also in general serve as more dynamic visuals in product listings alongside still images, 360 spins, and 3D models.
02:28 All the while, producing any of these outputs, including 360 product video, becomes as easy as running a single command with PhotoRobot.
02:37 More importantly, it takes surprisingly little time and effort to recreate any workflow.
02:43 Beyond the robotized capture of a comprehensive set of photographic outputs and video, our toolkit supports every stage of studio production.
02:52 That accounts for the endless studio activities in which productivity can be enhanced, and which ultimately define the studio’s overall efficiency.
03:01 Take for instance product intake and return.
03:04 To accelerate these stages of the workflow, PhotoRobot integrates the use of scanners and 2D or 3D codes.
03:10 This enables the automatic assignment of weights and measurements to objects, such as for primary records, or for verification purposes.
03:18 The values are configurable in metric or imperial units, and help to not only configure the robot’s shooting parameters but also to provide metadata for the customer.
03:28 Shooting settings cover specific lighting and camera settings individual to each product and product categories, such as for light, dark, transparent, or reflective objects.
03:39 However, PhotoRobot handles this part elegantly, assigning complex presets for any type of item via simple product placement and code scanning.
03:49 After capture, outputs are then automatically post-processed, correctly named, and instantly published online, or delivered to target presentation systems via API.
04:00 While this might seem like a minor detail, keep in mind that many studios still rely on manual processes, which are often performed by “experts” who incur significant costs.
04:11 In this area, PhotoRobot enables frictionless remote collaboration, so that if any photo requires retouching, it’s as easy as flagging it in the system for an internal or external retouching.
04:23 The one responsible for retouching the image is then able to easily download, edit, and return the images without any manual file transfers – saving both time and effort for all involved parties.
04:36 At the same time, PhotoRobot ensures high quality through our own remote quality control team, capable of overseeing multiple studios across different locations.
04:47 This is thanks to the design of our system which supports clusters of multiple robots in one studio, or in multiple studios worldwide.
04:55 Meanwhile, despite the robust nature of the solution, PhotoRobot remains equally suitable for small studios with only one machine, providing both a reliable and scalable option for future growth.
05:08 But truly, the greatest advantage that PhotoRobot offers our customers is the seamless and effortless automation.
05:15 There is no need for highly complex installations, or for expensive system maintenance.
05:20 Our team tailors everything around the customer requirements, aiming to accelerate and simplify each stage in the production workflow.
05:28 See for yourself on the page below, and let’s discuss how to start standardizing your production, while also maintaining your momentum and cost-efficiency – even when expanding your portfolio to address the latest trends in media production.
05:42 The friction points naturally disappear with PhotoRobot, and you will be pleasantly surprised by the demonstrable return on investment our systems offer.
