The Challenge

Make a groundbreaking but complex new technology easy for consumers to understand.

Sony had just developed its innovative Translucent Mirror Technology—a feature that set its cameras apart but left consumers scratching their heads. How could they help users understand this breakthrough without overwhelming them? Sony knew they needed a world-class training experience to add value, build confidence, and strengthen brand loyalty.

Our Solution

Nicely stepped in to handle the full production—scriptwriting, casting, location scouting, multi-camera shoots, animations, and course design. We partnered with professional photographers to break the camera’s features into approachable, real-world scenarios, filming on-location to make concepts feel tangible. Custom animations clarified complex mechanics like the Translucent Mirror Technology, ensuring even beginner photographers could follow along.
