About 1895 Films
1895 Films, a leading production company, creates compelling short documentaries with a strong following, especially in academia. Their rich library of educational films benefits universities and students alike.
Challenges
When 1895 Films started planning their new online venture, they quickly encountered several significant challenges. First, they needed a private video platform similar to YouTube or Vimeo but tailored to their specific requirements—ensuring control over content and data privacy. They also wanted the ability to integrate with third-party systems, allowing them to charge subscriptions to university students in the future.
Another pressing concern was finding affordable video storage solutions, as the sheer volume of video content for their platform was enormous. Initially, the platform was meant to be freely available, but they had a long-term goal of monetizing it by charging subscriptions. Therefore, scalability and affordability were key considerations. Lastly, 1895 Films needed a reliable partner that could provide excellent customer service, especially if custom features were required by their clients.
Solution
To address these challenges, 1895 Films partnered with VIDIZMO and chose their EnterpriseTube platform as the backbone of their new online video distribution system. VIDIZMO EnterpriseTube provided them with the private and customizable platform they needed, allowing them to control access to their content while maintaining the privacy of their educational clients.
EnterpriseTube also supported integration with third-party systems, enabling 1895 Films to charge subscriptions to university students, a critical feature for the long-term success of the "Great Books" project. The platform’s ability to handle large volumes of video storage at a low cost was another crucial factor, as it allowed them to scale their content library without breaking the bank. Furthermore, 1895 Films leveraged VIDIZMO's AI transcription and translation services to enhance user experience.
These features ensured that students and viewers from around the world could engage with the content in multiple languages, optimizing accessibility and engagement. As their client base grew, 1895 Films continued to collaborate closely with the VIDIZMO team. Whenever a university or institution required customized features, 1895 Films would immediately communicate with VIDIZMO, who promptly delivered tailored solutions, ensuring a smooth, user-friendly experience for both 1895 Films and their clients.
