E-One is an exploration of production techniques and business practices based on philosophies and product designs of BoxWrench and School educational media companies.
The original BoxWrench '8-Point Rebuild' educational DVD was the first of it's kind and School innovated directly after with their SketchUp Series.

This new breed of DVDs enabled viewers to navigate interactively and view bonus materials directly from standard video clips. The introduction of the "Running Menu" is a pivotal concept allowing for multipurpose graphics to give navigation and/or educational bonuses. The viewer is in control of consumption of supplemental materials and can just as easily opt to watch the content in a passive manner.
Igloo Studios pushed the production methods into the techie main stage by using the BoxWrench production techniques to develop their own series of educational software training materials under the brand 'School'. Their flagship product 'SketchUp - Level 1' made liberal use of "Running Menu" and "Reference Database" information and functionality to create an extremely comprehensive training tool for the Google 3D software product "SketchUp".
This site is being developed to bring the collective knowledge of Interactive Producers to others who want to translate their own expertise into educational, informative and marketable media for the myriad of possible distribution channels that are emerging today.
