A BBC veteran makes AI training videos at scale.
Film producer Dean Arnett spent 23 of his 30+ years in film at the BBC. He now makes avatar-led AI training videos with vidBoard, 10 to 15 a week, without a studio, camera or team.

Production quality without a production team
- He needed avatar training videos at production-level quality.
- They had to be affordable at scale, hundreds of videos, not a handful.
- He wanted to make 10 to 15 a week without a tech team.
- Other avatar platforms each failed on at least one of these.
