Skills Needed: I need a "New Product Overview DVD" demonstrating my new product, calf machine. A DVD that shows all angles, how it works, how it will work; moreover, I already have the Virtual Prototype illustration for the new product that could make his or her job a lot easier, the product description and usage is very clear; furthermore, I would like to add some extra things to the DVD; for example, demonstrating how the calf machine can be folded, portable, and compacted into its matching suit case.
