Electric Rain spent three years developing its own proprietary multimedia presentation software, which consists of two software applications: StandOut Designer Edition - allowing our in-house designers to build compelling, animated and graphically rich presentations around our clients content and message, while StandOut Presenter Edition enables our operational support staff to easily edit and make updates to the presentation without the need of the designer onsite. The result is the smooth blending of attractive design with a presenter’s specific content to deliver remarkable presentations, with the flexibility of last minute editing leading up to the event without needing the designer involved.

StandOut Presentations are built by our in-house professional designers using Microsoft Expression Blend and our StandOut Designer Edition. Based on you message, we identify design themes, visual metaphors, and branding of your message. A complete presentation is made up of many different layouts to hold and deliver all the types of presenters content (text, graphics, charts, videos, audio, etc.). All StandOut presentations leverage rich motion and creative storytelling techniques to display client content in a compelling cinematic style that keeps an audience engaged from beginning to end.

Our project managers and internal design team have been trained to execute our proven creative workflow process from start to finish. Our process starts by listening to our clients needs and extracting the main message points that need to be conveyed graphically. Then our team works closely through an iterative process to build, design and deliver a high-end custom presentation (that is editable) using our very own StandOut multimedia software.

The typical lead time for an engagement is 5-8 weeks before an event and follows our creative workflow process:

1. Event Overview / Requirements / Proposal
2. Discovery Process
1. Extract main content / message / sections of speech
3. Creative Process
1. Mood boards to determine the look and feel, theme
2. 2-3 Compositions for direction (color, 3d, icons, metaphors)
3. Static storyboard examples – animation tests / feasibility
4. Determine how content will transition between layouts and between content swaps etc with use of broadcast quality effects.
4. Production / Revisions
5. Delivery / Execution

When all is said and done, its the final presentation delivery and execution that means everything, and you can count on Electric Rain during crunch time. Electric Rain provides end-to-end and turn-key support. From concept and design, all the way to backstage editing, control, and execution of the live presentation for the executive.

We have the experience and steadiness of providing backstage editing and execution support for Microsoft's Steve Ballmer, Robby Bach, and Ray Ozzie for events such as CES 2009, PDC 2008, MGX 2008, and MIX 2008.
