Workplace Training Audio
A series of fictional training presentations, dedicated to the safety of our employees. Produced in part by Malenta University.
WTA is a writing project with the goal of telling a worthwhile story through an unconventional medium: training videos, PSAs and more in-universe videos from a fictional university. Script and story bible production began August 2022.
Writing, visuals, voice overs, music and editing for the first 5 episodes by Oliver Loll.
This series was heavily inspired by real OSHA training programs and analogue horror ARGs such as Monument Mythos and Marble Hornets.
