My company has a problem with some casework that went out assembled

I sent out a drawing on how to repair it.

Too complicated. (Thus sayeth the field crews)

I took photographs and put arrows and text on the photographs.

Still too complicated. (Also sprach die field guys)

So I decided to make a movie about how to repair it.

I'm hoping that this simplifies things a little bit.

It made me wonder if this will be the means of communication for the
wooddorking groups of the future.

Too funny! Although looking at it, that's not a bad way to generate
instructions -- it takes out a lot of potential for mis-interpretation.

For future movies, you might consider the following theme, for the really
simple (as in, I can't believe you need pictures for this) things:

For the really tough stuff with lots of potential for screw-up:
