Navitas's animated video of its financial results features a graduate atop a very tall beanstalk. GLOBAL educational chain Navitas has claimed a national first, after enlisting one of its own students to project manage an animated presentation of its financial results. "We wanted to explore new ways of making our financial results - which can be a bit dry for some people - more accessible," said chief financial officer Bryce Houghton. Our research found that no other Australian listed company had created an animated infographic video for its financial results, so we were keen to be the first. Students from Navitas's creative and digital media college chains, SAE and Qantm, put together the video which features - among other things - a spinning Earth, a 1970s-style television set, an overworked bureaucrat and a graduate atop a beanstalk. "Growth over the last two years has been impacted by student visa and government policy changes in Australia and the UK," a voiceover says. As a result, Navitas has recorded a moderate performance across all standard financial metrics in the first half of the 2013 financial year. But the video promises good times ahead, with the company "well placed to return to and exceed historical growth rates well into the future." Second year animation student Josh McGinnity formed a team of students, graduates and professionals who worked with Navitas to write, produce, design and animate the video. "I was excited to lead a team of students to create a professional project and to have the responsibility for pulling it all together," Mr McGinnity said. Mr Houghton said it was "a novel way of explaining our half year results while showcasing [our] education."
