CampusTours Inc. Debuts Virtual Tour for Columbia College Chicago
[12/15/03] CampusTours Productions (http://www.CampusToursProductions.com), a division of CampusTours Inc., is proud to announce the launch of an interactive virtual tour for Columbia College Chicago.
Last spring Columbia College Chicago started the search for a firm to design and develop their virtual tour. According to Columbia College's Suzanne Vogel, "when we began the process, one of our immediate concerns was finding a tour that would accurately reflect the unique vibe and landscape of our college. After the first couple of meetings with the folks at CampusTours, it became clear to us that they had the breadth of experience, knowledge and creativity to ensure that our tour looked like 'our' tour, and no one
elses."
CampusTours virtual tour services range from on-campus photography, video capture and the recording of student audio testimonials to copywriting, concept development, design, production, testing and installation of the tour on college Web servers. While not all universities make use of the full range of services, most institutions are pleasantly surprised by the breadth of experience CampusTours offers. "As the largest photography school in the country, we were nervous about letting anyone else photograph our campus," said Vogel. "Ultimately, the final images were perfect, and from arrival to departure the CampusTours photographers were true professionals who captured every image we asked them to, while causing little impact or disturbance on our campus and in our classrooms."
John Piermatteo, vice president of production services at CampusTours emphasized the collaborative nature of the Columbia College Chicago virtual tour project, saying "it's vital for colleges like Columbia to work in close coordination with CampusTours in order for us to develop presentations that speak to the unique aspects of the institution. We're very pleased with the tone and style of the Columbia College Chicago virtual tour, which appeals to their youthful, artistic audience."
