RECENT CASE STUDIES

BISHOP STRACHAN SCHOOL CASE STUDY

In 2021, the pandemic forced administrators to close the campus to visitors. This prevented prospective students and their families from touring the school’s impressive grounds, classrooms, dorms, and amenities. 

The absence of in-person tours complicated efforts to secure a decision from parents and guardians to enroll their child or children in the school.

An initial workaround entailed inviting prospective families to view a video tour the school had produced years earlier. However, the conventional two-dimensional video was an inadequate showcase of what the school offered, especially during virtual meetings when scrolling forward and backwards through the video timeline proved to be cumbersome.

MULGRAVE SCHOOL CASE STUDY

An exception to the downward trend in enrollment has been Mulgrave School in Vancouver, British Columbia. There, applications from cities and countries far from Vancouver have actually increased.

School administrators credit this accomplishment in part to their decision to upgrade a years-old video tour viewed by prospective students and their families to acquaint them with Mulgrave School’s impressive campus and culture.

The upgrade was performed by 360Pros. The result, as described by school officials, was spectacular.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?

We bill our clients on a time & materials basis (“pay as you go.”) This approach offers maximum flexibility for revisions and changes to the project scope along the way.

Small projects range from $6,000 – $10,000 and feature 360 or 3D visuals of the indoor outdoor areas from the ground level.

The average project in the $10,000 – $20,000 range scales up the amount of views shown and are best suited for medium sized and larger campus. We incorporate high-resolution drone imagery and a custom designed user interface to help make navigating all the scenes intuitive and fun. Analytics are available for insights on how the tour is performing.

Larger projects typically cost $20,000 – $40,000 and area ideal for campuses which want to showcase warmth and character in addition to their facilities by incorporating 360 scenes that come to life by blending in video elements like student tour guides, sports activates, drone flythrough and more.

No Hidden fees. Every project includes 1 year of hosting with the option to renew annually starting from $300/year. We can create customized monthly maintenance packages for virtual tours which need ongoing support, filming and changes to content.

How long does it take?

Medium scope projects are completed in a 6-8 week timeframe. Our typical turnaround time from initial 360 and drone photography to a first draft deliverable is 3 weeks, with a final draft ready within 5-8 weeks of the shoot date. Delivery times vary based on the scope of a project, the amount of revisions, and the preproduction involved.

What's the process?

  1. We learn about  your school, goals, and ideal project delivery timelines.
  2. We get to know your campus through floor plans, photos, Google Earth or in some cases do a in-person visit to assess the scope of work.
  3. A 50% deposit of our estimated time and materials is requested to kick off the project.
  4. Client onboarding, design prototypes and logistics occurs.
  5. Filming typically takes place over a weekend, completed in a day or two.
  6. Initial drafts are delivered for client review and revisions commence.
  7. A final deliverable is presented typically within 6-8 weeks of filming.
  8. If ordered, a dedicated analytics page is setup for your marketing team to understand engagement metrics.
  9. Ongoing support and updates to your content are available.

What if we need changes or updates in the future?

No problem! Just reach out to your project manager or producer about anything that has changed on campus, and we’ll coordinate for another shoot. From filming new facilities, to rendering the future into your existing imagery for donor relations, our virtual tours can evolve along with your campus.

How do we share the virtual tour with our audience?

We make this super easy. The virtual tour is a simple web link which can be shared online like a YouTube video. You can post this in text messages, emails, on LinkedIn and Facebook, etc. For your website, we provide you with a special embed code that your marketing team will use to make the virtual tour appear to live on any landing page you choose.

You can even share  your virtual tours in person from an iPad or VR headset. iPad and mobile viewing is included in every virtual tour service, but VR is an optional extra. Offline viewing can be included as well for events where the internet is intermittent.

Are there any recurring fees?

Our fees are simple and straightforward. The majority of the expense is in the production fee, and we charge a small annual fee to keep the virtual tour hosted for you. Every project includes 1 year of hosting with the option to renew annually starting from $300/year. We can create customized monthly maintenance packages for virtual tours which need ongoing support, filming and changes to content.
