Long Island Streaming produces corporate training and e-learning video on Long Island and across the New York metro area — onboarding and orientation, standard-operating-procedure and machine-operation video, safety and compliance modules, and systems and software training. Training video works when it is specific: your equipment, your floor, your process, filmed where the work actually happens, not assembled from a stock library. We research the task with your subject-matter experts, shoot it multi-camera on site, and deliver it structured, captioned, and ready to drop into the learning platform your team already uses.
How we produce a training video
It starts with research, not a camera. Before we quote a shoot day we spend time on the process itself — watching the task performed at normal speed, interviewing the person who knows it best, and writing a plain task analysis that lists every step, every decision point, and the places where people go wrong. For safety and compliance work we note the PPE, the permits, and the site rules that will shape the day. This is where a training video is won or lost: a clear step map means the shoot captures the right things once, and the edit has a structure to hang on.
Script and shot list. From the task analysis we build a narration script — in your language, checked by your expert — and a shot list that pairs each step with the angle that teaches it: a wide master for context, a tight shot of the hands, a clean capture of the screen. We agree the chapter structure now, so the finished file is something a learner can navigate, not a wall of video.
The on-site shoot. We film with your subject-matter expert on camera, a travel-sized lighting and sound package, and a camera plan sized to the room (see the plan below). Audio is recorded on a lavalier and a boom together. A member of your team stays on set as the safety and floor contact.
Post-production. We assemble to the agreed chapters, add on-screen callouts, zoom-ins, and key-press captions where they help, and cut in the screen recordings at full resolution. Captions and a transcript are produced for every module, and we build the knowledge-check or summary cards your LMS expects.
Delivery to your LMS. You get chaptered files at a consistent length, in the format your platform ingests — MP4, or a SCORM/xAPI package where that is what the system takes — plus the caption and transcript files and a template so the next batch of modules matches this one.
The on-site shoot plan
The plan is deliberately small. A wide master camera holds the whole task in context; a second camera on a short slider gets the hands, the tools, and the screen; an overhead camera covers anything that reads best from straight above. Two lights and a bounce are usually enough. Nothing goes into the space that the site cannot safely allow, and every cable is dressed and taped. On a multi-line facility we repeat this compact setup station to station rather than building one large rig.
Types of training video we produce

Training video production across Long Island & NYC
For corporate training video production in Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens, Brooklyn, or Manhattan, start with the task and the audience: a new-hire orientation, a machine SOP, a safety refresher, or a software rollout. Send us the procedure, the site and access details, the PPE rules, and the LMS you deliver into, and we will build a practical plan around them — research first, then a shoot day that captures it right, then a set of modules your team can actually use.

Frequently asked questions
- Where do you shoot training video?
On location, almost always — a plant floor, a lab, a warehouse, a clinic, an office. That is where your equipment and your process actually are, and a learner recognises the real room. We bring a travel-sized lighting and sound package and plan around your access, PPE, and safety rules.
- Do we need a script before you arrive?
No. We can work from your standard operating procedure or storyboard, or build the script from a subject-matter-expert interview and a task analysis during pre-production. Either way the wording is agreed before the shoot day.
- What formats do you deliver for our LMS?
Chaptered MP4 files at a consistent length, with captions and transcripts, in the resolution and codec your platform ingests. Where the platform expects a SCORM or xAPI package we deliver that, and we hand over a template so the next batch of modules matches the first.
- Can you film safety and lock-out/tag-out procedures?
Yes, and we film them correctly — the real sequence, the right PPE on the on-camera expert, and no shortcuts staged for the camera. A safety marshal from your team stays on set and every step is reviewed before it is cut.
- How many people are on a training shoot?
Usually two to four: a director/producer, one or two camera operators, and a sound operator, plus your subject-matter expert on camera and a safety or floor contact. Larger multi-line facilities scale up from there.
- Can one shoot cover several modules?
Often, yes. If the tasks are in the same area and the same experts are available, we plan the day to capture several short, single-topic modules in one visit and edit them into a matched set.
