The Challenge

The client needed to explain global customs rules around “free of charge” goods—why they still require accurate value declarations even when no money changes hands. The content had to be legally accurate, easily localizable, and short enough for learners to complete in under 5 minutes.

The Build

The final solution was a lean but highly realistic video-based module:

  • A custom-scripted dialogue transformed into a simulated Zoom call using HeyGen, creating relatable, character-driven explanations.

  • Premiere Pro and After Effects enhanced the visuals with movement, pacing, and subtle transitions.

  • Photoshop and Illustrator were used to create branded UI and icon elements.

  • Edited to under 5 minutes without losing clarity or detail.

  • Delivered in a flexible format for easy LMS upload and future translation.
