Cognex - In Sight Micro™ Web Video

Sonalysts produced a new online video for Cognex Corporation. Cognex is the world's leading provider of vision systems, vision software, vision sensors, and surface inspection systems used in manufacturing automation. Sonalysts was tasked to produce a multilingual video targeting their worldwide audience of manufacturers. The objective of this project was to show how Cognex solves the problems of Plant Managers, Controls Engineers, and Production Line Operators.

To help tell Cognex's story, Sonalysts provided support on refining the script as well as casting and filming the talent. We researched and integrated stock footage, sound design, and motion graphics to pull it all together. Lastly, we designed and built the website page that showcases the videos. Beyond the English version, Sonalysts also created additional versions of the video in seven different languages to help them target their customers around the world.

For the past year, Apache Stone has been performing throughout the Northeast for packed houses with rave reviews. The group recently finished recording their debut album at Sonalysts' Power Station, due to be released this coming April 2009.
