Brownell Travel, located in Birmingham, Alabama, is one of the nation’s oldest travel agencies. To celebrate their 125th anniversary, Brownell Travel hosted a large gala event on January 7, 2012. Part of the evening’s festivities included the screening of an historical video, chronicling the agency’s evolution through the years. To produce the video, Brownell Travel turned to us. We took the agency’s archived materials and wove them together in a continuous layered composite of images and motion pictures.

Power 2 Transform is a consulting company that works with healthcare clients to improve leadership, communication, and operational efficiency. Their staff of consultants and trainers come on-site and work with hospital administrators to facilitate discussions, implement plans, and initiate programs that reduce costs and improve patient care.

Power 2 Transform was interested in expanding their services to other hospitals and so they decided to ramp up their marketing efforts. Part of that plan was to create a simple testimonial video. Power 2 Transform hired us to provide all production and post-production services. We created one testimonial video, consisting of five different interviews. Once that initial video was complete, we took each of the interviews and edited them into five separate stand-alone pieces that could be used to explain certain services in greater detail.

This is the single testimonial video with all five interview subjects.

Hall Marketing hired us to provide production and post-production services on a video project for the Pelham Senior Center. The video was part of an overall re-branding campaign that included a new logo, new tagline, and new website. The client wanted the video to reflect the new tagline, “It’s a Brand New Day, Everyday” while highlighting the variety of programs, classes, activities, etc. that are offered. We developed a concept for the video that centered on the idea of contrast. The viewer is introduced to an elderly gentleman, writing a letter to his daughter. During the video, the viewer quickly learns that the elderly gentleman (as he describes things to his daughter in the letter) downplays how much fun he’s having. Hall Marketing wrote the script based on our concept. The Pelham Senior Center currently uses the video on their website.

We recently worked with Hall Marketing to produce a promotional video for the Pelham Library as a part of the library’s re-branding campaign. Conceptually, the video had to fit with the library’s new tagline, “Taking You Where You Want To Go” and their new logo, which features a compass as the central icon of the design. We developed the concept and the visual of the style of the video and were responsible for all production and post-production services.

I’m pleased to announce that our short film A Changed Man will screen at this year’s Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival in Birmingham, AL. Our film is part of the “Local Shorts #2″ block, which starts at 7:20pm on Saturday, August 27. The film will be shown at the Hill Event Center, located at 1811 3rd Avenue North. A Changed Man tells the story of an emotionally-broken woman trying to put her troubled past behind her and regain a sense of normalcy in her life.

Thanks to everyone who volunteered their time, efforts, and energy to produce this film. I definitely couldn’t have done it alone.
