Reduce product returns and customer support calls
In late 2007 we entered into an agreement as an independent contractor with Sleepytime Store LLC, a successful online retailer, to spearhead an in house department for video production. A portion of their warehouse facility in Decatur Georgia became the studio where we produced over 150 short product videos. Sales increased dramatically after introducing video to the Sleepytime Store website.
Similar videos, using this format, were produced for additional lines of designer baby blankets and accessories, educational toys, adult spa robes, throws, a unique line of toddler and preschool backpacks, and a line of matching kids rain gear.

Similar videos were created to introduce specific product lines of designer baby blankets, accessories, adult spa robes & throws, a line of children’s backpacks and rain gear.
HOW MY VINTAGE SURF MOVIE POSTERS SOLD ON EBAY AUCTIONS FOR FANTASTIC PRICES
Production Notes:
In 2009, I decided to sell a portion of my vintage 60’s surf movie posters on eBay. My main objective with using this video was to validate that my posters were not reproductions, but originals.
I created this short video, easily inserted the embed code into the poster sale pages, and included detailed information on each individual poster.
The majority of the posters sold for prices which exceeded my expectations and beyond what similar vintage posters were selling for on eBay. I was also surprised at the international response. My best repeat customers were from France and Great Britain.
I had previously never seen a video presentation on eBay. As a first time eBay seller, not only was the video instrumental in giving me a professional presentation but reunited me with a few guys I surfed with 40 + years ago. The majority of the vintage posters sold from $50 to $200 each. One very rare piece sold for over $1000 (USD). This video was an effective tool in gaining customer confidence and had a very positive impact on the overall experience of eBay selling.
Production Notes:
I had previously done some video recording for the Mike Z Trio, with Tyrone on keyboard, at Feast Restaurant. I’ve taken the approach of using only existing lighting, no big tripods, microphone booms, etc. I do my best not to disturb the ambiance of a live performance. This inspired me to successfully accelerate my video and audio editing skills with material I recorded with the Mike Z Trio for Online Video. I believe this is the reason Tyrone chose me to record the evening at Churchill Grounds, Atlanta’s premier Jazz Club.
The video and sound editing software we work with enhances the final product from what is recorded.
We maintain the best quality audio and image quality for quick uploads with small file size. We strive to surpass our client’s expatiations.

Production Notes: This video demonstrates the use of a combination of both photographic images and video, enabling the viewer to get a clear interior view, a feel for the local community and the building itself. Information regarding Decatur was included as an important aspect to any prospective “out of town” potential client. The video was ultimately available through a link on a realtor's website, YouTube & Craig's list. (The contact information was replaced with the realtors) Promotional cards, flyers and brochures, were created that directed interested parties to the online presentation. |
Atlanta Wild Animal Rescue Effort
Production Notes:
Whilst searching online for somewhere to take an orphaned baby opossum, found in our backyard, we came across AWARE, Atlanta Wild Animal Rescue Effort.
AWARE is the vision of Michael Ellis, who in 1999, founded the organization with the help of wildlife rehabilitation expert, Melanie Haire, and a small group of concerned friends.
Since AWARE relies on financial support from individuals and companies to achieve its many goals we decided to contribute a video as a way to help.
Michael provided all the photographs and we worked on the script together. After first trying a female voiceover, it was decided that Michael's voice would be the most compelling and appropriate.
The 2 minute video which is strategically positioned on the AWARE home page clearly communicates AWARE’s efforts regarding the preservation and restoration of wildlife and its habitat through education and wildlife rehabilitation.
We invite you to visit the AWARE home page. http://www.awareone.org/ *small video player displayed"
*A variety of player sizes is important as we recognize the fact that no two videos or websites are ever the same. Non branded videos are delivered to you in a size that suits your site’s format.
