Branded Video and Kane Partners team up to help YOU get a job!

Branded Video is very excited to announce their partnership with Kane Partners to provide jobseekers with a more interactive resume...a Video Resume!

Through this new partnership, jobseekers will meet with Kane Partners to evaluate their current resume, find the key things that employers are looking for and pull them out into a script that the jobseeker uses in their video resume. We record for an hour and within 48 hours a completed video resume is sent to the jobseeker. Kane Partners will also give the jobseekers who do these video resumes a how-to on distributing their video resume the proper way. They'll show them exactly what social media sites to put them onto.

Here's a sample of what our video resumes will look like in general: http://www.vimeo.com/8874022

We are excited for this new opportunity with Kane Partners!

Have a great weekend!

Happy 2010!

Hello Everyone!

Branded Video has been completely swamped with work throughout the Holidays and this is our first blog post in quite some time. Needless to say, there's a lot that has been going on here at Branded Video, and many new services that we are about to unveil. Please keep checking back as we will start detailing our new services daily and give you all a little insight into what 2010 and beyond will look like for Branded Video!

See ya tomorrow!

A Promo for a Recent Corporate Seminar

So the great people over at Kane Partners wanted a promo put together for a corporate seminar that we were a sponsor as well as consultant for! Here's what we put together - and check back sometime next week to see the recap of the event!

A little tardy with this post....

For those of you who are wondering where Branded Video has been for over a month, as our blog has been a bit neglected...the question is, where hasn't Branded Video been? From high school productions to a month packed full of weddings to seminars, hall of fame inductions, Thanksgiving, and preparing for the new year, we have been very inundated with more business from returning customers, as well as a lot of new business!  Our customer loyalty is something that always shows us how well of a job we are doing here at Branded! 

We hope that you all had a great Thanksgiving with family and friends in which you were able to spend some quality time relaxing with those close to you!

Yesterday we had the chance of being one of the sponsors of a seminar that focused on Social Media for the corporate world. Here's an article that talks to how powerful video is for businesses and the potential growth that 2010 holds for video!

Another Great Email from Another Great Couple!

Daniel & Kimmy
5.24.2009

"Hi Ed,

We loved it....it captured facial expressions beautifully and we were amazed by things that we missed and would have never realized happened if it wasnt for the video capturing it.  I especially loved the hightlight section to our first dance song.  My colleagues wanted to see Daniel's and my dance routine that we came into because I shared with them that Dan wanted me to do a flip.  The hightlight was perfect becasue I could share a quick summary of our wedding day with the flip and it was only 4 minutes of their time.  My colleagues loved it.

  When we went to DE to check up on Dan's mom we watched it together.  They both enjoyed and cant wait to show their friends.  It brought Pat into happier spirits, so thanks for that.  

  My parents have watched their video quite a few times.  My mom loves it and is going to show it to her friends when they meet next time for lunch.

  So in a quick summary, my parents, his parents, Daniel and myself love it.  Thanks for such a great job. Additionally, I personally love the design that you put our DVD, in keeping with our theme.  Thanks for those extra personal touches, they do mean alot.  If you ever need a reference, please dont hesitate to contact us."

Once again, a great response from a nice couple that we worked with in May. It is these kinds of responses that keep us doing what we do! 

Client Feedback and Sample!

I wanted to share this email that we recently received from a father of the bride on his daughter's wedding video. Above is a sampling of part of the video!

Ed-

I just wanted to let you know how much Colleen’s mother and I appreciate the job that you and your staff did on the video. It is excellent. Colleen loved it as well!

Thank you for everything

Pro Wedding Video - Top 10 Reasons to get it!

1.  Video is a  more encompassing element of your day. It provides the ability to see that tear as it streams down the grooms face as he sees his bride for the first day, to hear and relive the jokes by the bride's father as he welcomes everyone at the reception and captures the feelings that were present for your wedding day. 
   
2. Video, like photo, will last throughout time. One that you can watch each wedding anniversary, or whenever you feel like reliving your wedding day, or even perhaps to remember those that were with you on your wedding day that have either passed away or you've lost touch with. 
   
3. Video allows you to go back to that day not only in still shots but also in the music, the ambience, the celebration of the family, friends, and LOVE! A fellow videographer wrote in a book that if only people looked to their wedding videos in times of turbulence or trouble in their marriage, the divorce rate would be so much different. I agree whole heartedly with this statement as so many brides and grooms tell me that watching their day makes them relive the not only the day but the feelings that they felt on that day. 
   
4. Video, when done properly, can provide an elegant and classy way to preserve your wedding day. It doesn't have to look like Uncle Joe filmed your day at all and believe-it-or-not it has changed alot since the 90's where big cameras with big lights were the norm. Most cameras that are used today weigh under 5 pounds and the lights that they use are micro compared to the ones of yesterday. 
   
5. Wedding Videographers have a sense of what the right moment for certain shots are. We've done countless weddings and know what to expect and what are the shots that will just floor the bride and groom when they watch it. We also know what music goes with what shots in the editing and what provides for joy and happiness when clients watch. If we didn't do these things right, we wouldn't be making any money.
   
6. Over 80% of brides surveyed say that they are so happy that they decided to get a wedding video done. Their advice to others is, "Do It, You'll be glad you did!"
   
7. Wedding Videos can be as romantic and sappy as you want them to be. I've had clients that have asked for a more laid back and fun video rather then emotional, ones that have been more into drama and suspense and wanted their video to have a feel of mystery to it. We can do whatever it is that you would like it to look like - with enough advance notice of course! 
   
8. You often hear the phrase that a picture is worth a thousand words, can you even imagine how many words a video is worth. While a photographer is setting up a shot or changing their memory card, the videographer keeps going, and gets those candid "I Love You"s that are said between the bride and groom as they pose near the river's edge. We hear comments like "I am so happy to be your wife today, I can't wait for our future!" Needless to say, photography doesn't capture those sounds. 
   
9. Your wedding video is not only a memory of the day but it is a memory of both of you, the bride and the groom, and what and where you were on that day. It is one that you can share with future generations and it's a way to allow them to see into your lives a little bit more than you could with your ancestors. Often times I look at black and white photos of great-great grandparents and wonder who and what they were like. Just think, your kin can have that with a wedding video!
   
10. And finally, why get wedding video? If I haven't convinced you enough of the value of video then I am not a great salesperson. All I can say in closing is that I have yet to hear a bride regret getting a wedding video. I've heard brides complain that maybe they didn't pick the best company or things like that but never ever have I heard that they wish they didn't have the video. 
    

A wedding video is truly priceless. 

**Above I had mentioned video captures more and more then photo ever can. This is not to say that video should replace photo or that photo is not needed. Photo is essential and is as highly praised and worthwhile as video!  If you need ideas of great photographers just look to the right where there are links for local photographers!
