The most important part is going to be the message. Make sure it is interesting and covers the points you want to cover. I would explore the transitions that your video editing program has and take full advantage of them. Don't make all of them the same.

I think you should try it. It can be both cool and effective. Maybe offer a special phone number or promotion code so that you can gauge the response rate. I agree that it should be simple at first.

Good luck.

I am not disagreeing with you. The message can be conveyed through words or images, the point is to
have a message to convey. I never said
it had to be written, I said it had to be present. Non verbal communications works to set the tone and feel for a business.

It sounds like you have something you believe will work and I applaud you for being brave enough to do something more than the basics.

No problem. If you need any help, feel free to reach out to me. Or just have a question or concern. Here's one of my emails: dereklw@mail.com

FYI, remember there's no rule that says you can't barter for help. I know for a fact that some creatives and directors will be more than willing to help sometimes if they are allowed to be more creative. I have had jobs produced for little or nothing this way. Creatives are looking to build their books and if you can get a better quality work by letting them be more creative, who loses? I still give away ideas myself. You wouldn't believe the ideas I have for a lot of the members here. I keep my family and friends laughing with the concepts I come up with for folks. Wait until you see the invitation I am helping DomainDiva with. It is nice.

Getting plugged into the local advertising community can sometimes be a real benefit.

I really hope this works for you.

Not really a barter but a BOA Small Business Forum Discount! LOL

She and I met and talked about small business, and I offered her some suggestions for things they can do for her new product launch. She is fortunate enough to have a very qualified marketing person on staff. All I did was help point them in the right direction. And during our talk, we realized there's a very nice invitation idea that will cost her little to no money except printing and mailing that she can do. I am attending her company meeting this weekend here in Dallas.

I would be happy to barter but we were never able to figure out how to make it work here. Lighthouse pointed out correctly that my services, like his, are geared towards larger companies. So, both of us and some others provide information here that would cost a nice amount if you were to contact us away from here. We are not the only ones, there has been some advice on here that was worth thousands of dollars but I don't think people realize what they are getting.

Thanks for the compliment. I still need to write my article. Shhh.

Hi Iwrite,

Here what I did, It is not super duper and hope it would be not to bad for my first commercial

Please let me know what you think good or bad, so next time it would be better.

Thanks

I'm definitely a big believer in using video to promote what you have ~ as long as what you have is good! Check out some of our work : http://www.mjcreativesolutions.com/_wpMJCS/2009/02/18/videoanimation/
