Congrats! I sort of feel like I know the place now. I like the inside stories that are told in the narration - its helps facilitate a connection to the campus. We're trying to work in story components to our website and other media, and I really like this model. Good work! Wow, I have to say that’s the best online tour experience I’ve seen yet by far.

To be fair, NP didn't do the <strong>entire</strong> thing. It was absolutely a team effort, and our team here did a MAJOR amount of work in writing, production, taking new photos, etc. I did the audio recording, editing and production for each tour stop, and that in and of itself was a major deal. They built the engine, we built the content. It was a good partnership for us. Bree, I'm glad you like the tour. Re-doing the tour was a major production, but one that's been really beneficial for us. I think smaller schools will definitely need assistance in working through the process.

It is definitely the best online campus tour I've seen so congratulations on that! That's probably one of the reasons we attempted to reverse engineer it. :) That’s really interesting that you got an outside company New Perspective to do the whole thing, I didn’t realize that.

Hearing about your school's experience with the campus tour is really interesting to me. It is something I would like our company to explore more and assist small colleges that are in need of those kinds of assets. It's a big project to undertake considering yours took a few months for one school, so have to attack it in small chunks. Anyway, very interesting, and the tour looks great! Would love to hear more about your experiences with it. -Bree Mike, found this post in one of my blog alerts. Hearing about your school’s experience with the campus tour is really interesting to me.
