OUR STORY
Katie and Matt Chaussee formed Be More Colorful as an ND LLC in August 2016. Creating interactive virtual tours and virtual reality (VR) experiences for anything from residential real estate, to products, to travel and tourism were our main focuses at the time.
In 2019, we had an opportunity to pitch the idea of using our services for career exploration to the ND Workforce Development Council. Soon after, we began receiving requests to create experiences for companies to assist in recruiting efforts. These initial customers, ND CTE and the Workforce Development Council, connected Be More Colorful to key stakeholders around the state and region. In that time, we have grown substantially, from a team of two to a team of eight.
In November 2019, we were accepted into the InnovateND program where we focused on building the initial CareerViewXR prototype, a solution that provides immersive career exploration experiences to students and adult career seekers. We successfully completed all four phases of the InnovateND program in August 2020. In December of 2020, Williston and Devils Lake school districts received grants to support the development of 12 CareerViewXR experiences. In August 2021, CareerViewXR launched with the 12 experiences for ND CTE.
In November 2021, Be More Colorful expanded our pilot project to include Huntington Middle School in San Marino, California. In March 2022, supported by testimonials from organizations like the ND Workforce Development Council, Greater ND Chamber of Commerce, ND Building Trades Unions, ND Petroleum Council, and other economic development leaders around the state, Be More Colorful was partially funded through LIFT funding to support continued platform development and expansion of our library of content.
THE CAREERVIEWXR LIBRARY NOW HAS 70+ EXPERIENCES LIVE ON THE PLATFORM.
Be More Colorful currently has CareerViewXR subscribers in North Dakota, California, Oklahoma, and North Carolina with active conversations happening in Minnesota, Kentucky, and Arizona. We focus on career and recruitment projects for companies and workforce development focused experiences for communities.
We are a North Dakota business passionate about testing and growing our platform right here, fulfilling the needs of our subscribers and production partners to help boost the local economy and strengthen our workforce.
Today, we are primarily focused on producing career and recruitment projects for companies and workforce development focused experiences for communities. Our current goals include expanding CVXRโs library to include more amazing careers and increasing our subscriber base to get more students and job seekers aligned with career pathways that interest them.

Eliminate the hassle of an on-site tour with our virtual experiences.
You may be curious what working with us looks like. Of course, capturing the magic of your environment is always at the heart of our process!
02. Discovery Meeting
This is where the major brainstorming begins. This meeting helps Team BMC learn more about the client and understand what problems theyโre trying to solve for their own clients. We identify if there is a fit between their needs and our offerings.
04. Strategy Meeting
At this stage we reconnect and finalize details. The shot list is confirmed and we trim any loose ends. If necessary, a scouting trip is scheduled prior to the real shoot day.
06. Post-production
Itโs getting real! At this stage captured footage is carefully processed and edited, additional assets are lovingly designed, and a video or tour is assembled.
01. Introductory Meeting
As the name implies, this is the phase where we introduce ourselves and what we do. We show off some past work and start getting an idea if there is interest from the potential client or production partner.
03. Quote & Scope of Work
Time to sign on the dotted line! Team BMC has super fun paperwork for our clients to sign before the following phases. We promise it will be as painless as possible.
05. Production
Lights, camera, action! Shoot day has arrived. The production crew follows the finalized shot list and captures the magic.
07. Client Review
Before we call our work together done, we make sure the product is picture-perfect. Double-checking never hurt anyone!
08. Launch Party!
The product is complete, so itโs time to celebrate! Donโt worry, the team is here for continued support after production has ended.

The length of this process varies depending on production team availability, season and weather-related considerations, responsiveness of clients/production partners, availability of shooting locations, and other variables. We typically estimate at least 6 weeks to go from pre-production to final product.
