1.What makes this technology the “new standard”?  
2-D photographs are e-commerce standard now.  To meet that standard, you must have at least one image of the front of your product on the product detail page.  More and more e-tailers are offering multiple views of each product.  Cutting edge internet retailers are beginning to offer some sort of “virtual tour” of their products. At best it is a single-angle 360 rotation of the product.  At worst it’s a quirky, jumpy, fish-eyed virtual tour that resembles the real estate virtual home tours we’ve all seen.  In both cases the aspect is often warped, the functionality isn’t intuitive and the photography is mediocre.  It’s not good, but until now, it’s all we’ve known.

The Orbiter is the new standard in online product viewing because it combines hi-end commercial photography and Hollywood camera-engineering which produces a product virtual tour that is attractive, smooth, enlightening and compelling. Our product-tour motion path elevates your product and moves around it with no limitations, displaying it in hi-res zoomable quality and perfect lighting.  Do not try this at home!

2.How is this technology going to help my company/product?
How?  By driving sales and heightening customer experience with cutting edge technology and imagery on your website.  Capture market and sales when you allow us to apply our specific brand of professional lighting, product placement and a customized player to hi-res professional commercial photography.  The chosen motion-path of your product will direct the customer’s eyes in the same way you would choose to show your product to a them in person.  And each frame is zoom-able in hi-res to highlight the details of your product in a compelling way.

3.What can you do for my brick-and-mortar retail business?
All statistics point to the fact that more and more commerce is moving from brick-and-mortar stores to the web with each passing month.  For traditional brick-and-mortar businesses, e-commerce is an area of low-hanging fruit to capture more sales and even market share. However, almost everyone has put a website up by now and chances are you have one too.  But, there is a big difference between having a business website and have a website creating business.  To do that you must have a clean, compelling, accessible, informative and exciting customer experience.  And this may not be the case with most of your competition.  Therefore, by having a better website (or having  a website at all) than your competitors you will capture sales and market in a climate where customers are shopping online.  We do it all, so whether you have a website or not, we can get your online presence where it needs to be.

4.What kind of products do you shoot with the Orbiter?
We’ve photographed products like knives, shoes, jackets, helmets and instruments in the Orbiter.  Currently, our size limitations are as small as a coin or as large as a motorcycle.  What’s great is that besides transportation, pianos, houses or live large mammals we can shoot the lions-share of products out there being sold over the internet.

5.How much does it cost?
Our service probably doesn’t cost much more than you already pay for professional still photographs of your products.  And you can use each hi-res image from the Orbiter as a still!  Kill two birds with one stone!  So, pricing is based on each individual product - the studio time to set up the Orbiter, the lighting, the program, the time it takes to shoot the product and the post-work with the images before handing you a mind-blowing final product.  And, there are price-breaks as quantity of products increases.

6.Can you shoot a simple 360 degree?
Yes we can.

7.What makes your virtual product tour different from the "other guys"?
What other guys? In all seriousness though, no one else is doing what we do right now.  The Orbiter is a powerful triple-threat of physics, photography and free-market enterprise whose habitation is not easily found in other production companies.  It's the culmination of these three qualities that will take your online product display to the next level and in turn increase sales.  At best our closest competitors only possess two out of the three skills listed above.
Secondly, we are a full-service Production Company housed under Maddox Visual Productions, so although the Orbiter technology is new, we are not.  Our team has over a decade of work-experience in cutting edge photography, video, web, print and internet marketing and sales on a global scale with industry leading companies.  Our education and expertise helps YOU because we speak your business language, get your business model and can shepherd your media goals from start to finish.  For example, you may need a website before you can even use the Orbiter - we can do that!

8.Can you match the player skin to my website?
You can choose from our favorite “house” skins or we will customize it to look just like your website.

9. Is the resolution of these images good enough for use in print media too?
Absolutely.  Once your orbit is complete, you’ll have multiple angles to choose hi-res still images for print and online use.  Give your graphic artists or marketing team something to work with!

10. How do I get my product to you to shoot?
This depends on each client.  The standard method is to ship your product to our studio and we will ship it back within a certain timeframe.  We understand that you may restock those goods and we take care in unpacking and re-packaging them.

11. How long does it take?
This depends on the quantity of products that you want to orbit.  We can give you a good estimate once we discuss your products and goals.
