This specialty division of Off Melrose produces award-winning “plug and play” live action and animated awareness and training videos that are easily integrated into a client’s overall training program and platform.
Through industry experience, we know that organizations and learners keenly desire for video to be a key component of online training—but this has historically been hard to deploy given differences in LMS systems and other technology.
Now those challenges are gone, and virtually every training RFP rightly requests and expects a video element. We’ll work with you and your training provider or platform to create fully custom (or customize from our library) plug-and-play video that can be easily incorporated into courseware, deployed through your LMS, or distributed by other means.
We proudly leverage our instructional design and media production experience to deliver engaging off-the-shelf and fully custom video solutions—built to reflect the client’s brand and culture—that ensure learner engagement and maximize training results. Moreover, we have true global experience (our scripts and plug-and-play videos have been incorporated into training deployed in more than 125 countries) and the ability to provide translations in more than 25 key languages.
Team Background
Michael Terrill (writer/director/producer) leads all Off Melrose productions, and for more than 10 years, has served as lead freelance instructional designer and scriptwriter for one of the world’s leading ethics, compliance, and code of conduct training providers. During this time, Michael and Off Melrose also functioned as a preferred vendor to create engaging custom video for clients who desired this added training element. Our scripts, live action video, and animated scenarios and vignettes have been deployed to more than 1,000 organizations (and hundreds of thousands of learners) worldwide in virtually every industry, and have been translated into more than 25 key languages.
Janet Nearhood (producer) has more than 20 years of video production background, developing and managing everything from corporate videos to national news segments (ABC, NBC, and CBS) to PBS documentaries. Janet and Michael have enjoyed a long relationship on a wide array of industrial, training, and documentary productions. This collaboration includes more than 40 video training segments scripted by Michael and delivered by NYSE Governance Services to more than 500 clients, in more than 25 languages and spanning virtually every industry.
FEATURED PROJECT: Code of Conduct – Compliance Topic Animations
Off Melrose scripted and produced fully custom plug-and-play animations for a leading teen retailer with a global presence. Each animation emphasized one or more key Code of Conduct compliance topic.

FEATURED CLIENT: IPG (Interpublic Group of Companies)
After winning two Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning awards for Code of Conduct training, and desiring custom video but with a low budget ceiling, IPG and NYSE Governance Services again turned to Michael Terrill and Off Melrose to produce a series of five “top of mind” ethics vignettes to drive their introductory culture and Code of Conduct training course for new hires. On a shoestring budget, we produced five video scenarios supplemented with animation by NYSE Governance Services to ensure a seamless training experience for hundreds of thousands of learners worldwide.

FEATURED CLIENT: NYSE Governance Services
When NYSE Governance Services (formerly Corpedia, Inc.) decided to create a new 3-5 minute standalone ethics and compliance training product, they also decided the product should be video based—and turned to Michael Terrill and Off Melrose to conceptualize, script, and provide overall creative direction at each stage of production. The resulting product, Ethiflicks, is a 20-episode series of plug-and-play vignettes in the style of The Office. The product was cutting-edge when it was released and has stood the test of time, as more than five years later, NYSE GS clients continue licensing Ethiflicks to supplement their training programs, deploying selected episodes to learners worldwide.
