5 years ago clients typically wanted videos in a format that they can easily hand out such as DVD or interactive CD. As a multimedia supplier, Sitepro.com was unique from other production companies in that we were streaming videos within client websites as well. While physical deliverables and inter-website distribution have still been a stronghold, more clients are inquiring about services like YouTube, Facebook and other social media applications.
While there are lots of other social video sites out there, YouTube has proven to be the top of the crop. Did you know that YouTube is the number one video site on the internet? Get this: It’s the 4th largest internet destination in the world and the #2 search engine behind Google and before Yahoo…….just huge. Often clients ask me questions like :
"How can I get my Video on YouTube?"
"How can we create a Facebook account and put my videos in it?"
"We just want to make some simple videos and upload them. Where do we start?"
Follow this series, YouTube Video 101, to gain some insight on these questions as well as thoughts you may not have considered when developing videos for social media and website use.
For those unfamiliar with the term "Hat Trick," it's a sports term referring to any one player scoring three times within a single game. If you're like me and grew up on the local ice rink, it's a hockey term. Today's blog isn't about bone crushing hockey action, but instead the Telly Awards. The Telly awards (3oth anniversary this year) recognize the best in local and regional television, web and film production. This year Sitepro was fortunate enough to win three awards on three submissions, hence the "hat trick" reference.
As visual effects get better and better we see the use of 3D animations more and more. We've come a long way since the days of Tron. Actually the first use of 3D graphics in a major motion picture was in the movie Futureworld (1976). Now we see 3D effects everywhere, but why do are these 3D animations used so often? Well, the uses for 3D animations are endless. Mostly we notice amazing visual effects that astound the viewer, or are often used to create scenes thout couldn't be done without CGI (computer-generated imagery). There are really no limits to what can be created. If it can be imagined, it can be created. These CGI effects are used in much more than just high budget cinema.
