Brief and documents
You send the procedure, policy or program the film has to teach, who it is for, and photos of the site, equipment, PPE and uniforms.
Training Videos
Training, Safety And Compliance Videos
Satellite Studios makes training videos for Australian workplaces and venues: site and safety inductions, workplace safety training, sexual harassment and Respect at Work training, AML/CTF training, and safety briefings for venues and tours. Each one is a set of acted scenes with real-looking people doing the work, made with AI generation instead of a film crew.
Most training video is a presenter reading the policy, a cartoon, or a camera crew filming staff on a working site. Our films are acted scenes instead: your procedures, your site and your uniforms, with a cast who show the hazard, the mistake and the right way to do it, the way people would see it on the job.
Every film is built from your own documents and photos, signed off by your safety, HR or compliance lead before anything is made, and delivered with captions, translated versions and SCORM packages for your learning system when you need them.

What We Make
What Every Training Film Includes
The same things go into every film, whatever it teaches.
- A script written from your procedures, policies or AML/CTF program, approved by your own expert before production starts.
- Your site, equipment, PPE, uniforms and signage, built from photos you send us.
- Short episodes, usually one to five minutes, so each film covers one task or one situation.
- Captions on every film, and audio description where the picture carries the message.
- Versions in other languages for multilingual crews, contractors and tourists.
- MP4 files for any player or induction platform, and SCORM packages with knowledge-check questions for your learning system.
- Dated versions you can keep on file as a record of what people were shown.
Why Acted Scenes Instead Of A Presenter
People remember a situation better than a list of rules. Studies of workplace safety training have found that the more engaging the method, the more people learn and the fewer injuries follow, and that showing someone doing a task the right way and the wrong way teaches it better than describing it.
A presenter on screen adds little to a procedure, and many learners switch off as soon as they recognise a stock AI avatar. We do not use them. Every film we make has a cast acting out the work in a place that looks like yours.
Why AI Instead Of A Film Crew
A traditional training shoot stops part of your site, puts staff in front of a camera and goes out of date the next time a procedure changes. We build the scenes from photos and plans instead, so nothing on your site has to stop.
Hazards and incidents that could never be staged safely, such as a fall from height, a forklift near miss or an arc flash, can be shown as they would really happen. When a rule changes, we make the scenes that changed again rather than reshooting the whole film.
Who We Make Them For
Safety and HSE managers, learning and development teams, HR and people and culture leads, AML/CTF compliance officers, venue and operations managers, and the law firms, WHS consultancies and industry associations who build training for their clients and members. We are based in Melbourne and make training films for organisations across Australia, including Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.
Acted scenes built from your own procedures, with your site, your people and your rules, in place of a presenter reading the policy.
How It Gets Made
How A Training Film Gets Made
How It Gets Made
How A Training Film Gets Made
From your documents to a finished film, with your own expert signing off before anything is made.
Script and sign-off
We write the scenes and the learning points. Your safety, HR or compliance lead approves the script before anything is made.
Boards
Every shot is framed and agreed, so the film is decided on paper first.
Generation
Scenes are made to the boards with the same people, place and equipment in every shot, then checked frame by frame against your reference photos.
Edit, captions and languages
The film is cut, graded and mixed, with captions, translated versions and any knowledge-check questions added.
Review and delivery
Your expert checks the cut against your procedures. We deliver MP4 files and SCORM packages and keep the project ready for the next update.
Questions We Get Asked
Will it look like AI?
The films are acted scenes with full-body performances in real-looking places, edited, graded and mixed like a commercial. Every frame is checked before you see it, and anything that looks wrong, such as a hand, a sign or a piece of equipment, is made again.
How do you make sure the content is accurate?
The film is built from your own procedures and documents. Your safety, HR or compliance lead approves the script before production and checks the finished cut before it goes out. Signs, labels and on-screen text are added in the edit, so they read exactly as written.
Can it show our own site, uniforms and equipment?
Yes. Send photos of the site, plant, PPE, uniforms and signage, and we build the scenes from them. A short phone walk-through of the site helps us get the layout right.
Will it work in our LMS or induction system?
We deliver MP4 files that play in any player or induction platform, and SCORM packages with knowledge-check questions for learning systems that track completion. Tell us which system you use and we will deliver in the format it takes.
Can we have versions in other languages?
Yes. We translate the voice and the on-screen text and keep the same scenes, so every crew sees the same film. Mandarin, Arabic, Vietnamese, Punjabi, Hindi and Spanish are common requests on Australian sites.
What happens when a procedure or the law changes?
We make the scenes that changed again and re-cut the film, rather than reshooting it. Each version is dated, so you can keep a record of what people were shown and when.
Do you write the training content?
We write the scenes and the dialogue. The rules, procedures and legal content come from you, your safety team or your adviser, and they sign it off. We are happy to work directly with your WHS consultant, employment lawyer or AML/CTF compliance officer.
Do you use real people's faces?
Our casts are generated characters, not real people. If you want a real person in the film, such as your chief executive introducing an induction, we only do it with their written consent.
How much does it cost?
Every film is quoted from the brief. The price depends on how many films you need and how long they run, the number of scenes, versions and languages, whether you need SCORM packages and questions, and the number of review rounds. Send us a brief and we will come back with a quote and a schedule.
Have a Film In Mind?
Tell us what it is for and when it needs to be out, and we will come back with how we would make it.
