Movies in PDF

We've been looking for ways to make our little video files more easily accessible. Short videos, either filmed footage or rendered from software, are great for clarifying what a space is or will be like. It's the next best thing to being there. But are people going to download big media files? Are they going to follow links to YouTube or other special sites?

We've found a way to embed small short movies right inside PDF marketing drawings. The drawings that we publish through availability lists and stacking plans; the drawings that get emailed to brokers and prospects - they can now contain video of the space as well.

N.B. You will need the latest version of the Acrobat reader. You can get it at http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Here's an example. Using our office we've created a typical marketing drawing and added two pictures and a short movie:

Here's another example. In this case we've combined three panning shots into one movie. Clicking on the red text in the drawings will cause the movie to jump to the corresponding section in the movie:

Most tenants only look for space every several years. They are not experts at reading plans so pictures, 3D views and video are very useful in helping people understand what the space is going to be like.
