On this page we break down the 'working
parts' of Red Ferry Players and the techniques & media they support.
|
|

|
|
The hub provides effortless, intuitive user control on all our Players.
It indicates the loading and playback of the streaming media in real
time as well as providing play/pause, rewind to start and a link
to an info page about the Player. If a Player features auto-play,
the hub also provides site-wide on/off at the touch of a button.
|
|
At the heart of our Audio
enabled Players is the power of the spoken
word. Our expert script writers know just how to phrase the audio
message to directly address your audience and encourage them to take
action.
In some instances like customer testimonials – we will incorporate
carefully edited pre-existing audio into a player. |
|
Extensive range of voices - Our team has an extensive resource
of voice artists to select exactly the right delivery style and tone
to complement your brand positioning and message content.
Not just voice over - Players are also capable
of delivering streaming, long-play audio like recorded interviews,
speeches, and excerpts or previews of podcasts, audio blogs and of
course music.
|
|
Players feature interactive text which is synchronised with other elements
like the hub and any streaming media (audio, video, image sequences
etc). The primary greeting text invites interaction and delivers
key propositions, while the texts that follows prompts response or
resulting action.
|
|
The wording is carefully composed to work perfectly with the soundtrack
script so the user experiences the combined effect of hearing, reading
and seeing which motivates, engages and promotes action.
|
|
Our Players are predominantly designed to present images of people matched
to the selected voice style as well as other photographic imagery
like pack shots and products, or graphics and icons alongside the
interactive text and control hub.
Our production team has a library of images and can also carefully
select from an extensive range to hand pick the most appropriate imagery
to help get your message across.

Video & other moving-image
media |
|
All Players can be made to display streaming
web video integrated with
the web page seamlessly – without the need for a third party
application.
We can re-purpose existing footage, produce a talking head or create
a purpose-made scene.
The video streams using the most up-to-date rich media compression
techniques and the relationship between image quality and file size
is tightly controlled by our rich media production team.
|
|
Other media
Along with video, photography and graphics, our Players are capable of
displaying animated
sequences, 3D animations, Virtual Reality/Panoramas, still image sequences
with synchronised text to support the audio message. These
delivery methods combined with our script writing and production skills
go together to create powerful, compact multimedia sales presentations
and instructional demos.
|
| |
Multiple Choice & Multi-lingual |
|
Any Player can be adapted to provide more than one message, allowing
users to choose their preferred subject using a variety of intuitive
methods that relate to the design of the Player.
Similarly, users can choose to experience the message or sequence
in their preferred language. For

Call to Action & Response |
|
From popping a form window, a callback request or online questionnaire
to opening a pre-addressed email, downloading a PDF or forwarding
the user to a key webpage... Red Ferry not only gets your message
across in an impactful, engaging way, but we also encourage action
and provide the response method - all in one Player.
|
|
In instances where call to action is a vital part of the strategy, we
can monitor every time Players are displayed to users, the number
of times the message or sequence was played and the number of responses
to the call to action, so you know exactly what's happening and the
role our technology is playing.
