Global Engineering Company, Howden Power, have commissioned Kelpie to shoot a CEO address to be distributed internally to the many Howden offices around the Globe. The Corporate Video will feature ground breaking 3D graphics of a virtual studio, while the interview will be shot against a “green screen” to be composited in later.
A little tip we are telling all our corporate clients these days is to look passed the old favourite, DVD, and onwards to USB Drives. With storage up to 16Gb, there is more than enough room to store text, image and video files. So the next time you consider distributing a promotional video to your clients, try a key instead of DVD. You can brand it with your logo and the great thing is it has a dual purpose as a handy storage device so once your client has watched the film or presentation they can continue to use the drive and every time they do, they think of you.
We’ve got great connections in the wholesale USB marketplace so don’t pay over the odds for your next run, just give us a call.
Yes, that’s right I think I am in love. I am a self confessed early adopter and it threatened to join a long line of long forgotten gadgets I had purchased in the name of research, but the Tablet PC didn’t go the way of my electronic pen or the N1 wireless router (and the Dodo for that matter).
No, it’s still in my bag 4 months later and doing a terrific job of keeping me mobile and organised (something my Xda Orbit is currently failing to do). If you haven’t tried one yet, do. It accepts handwriing or keyboard input with the former recognising even my scrawling efforts. But it’s the size that is the main attraction. Laptops had gotten so large the very term was a misnomer and the widescreens were using so much battey power you couldn’t even enjoy that 2 hour DVD on the train as the battery wouldn’t last. The Tablet is the size of a medium sized book and can also output the VGA to a monitor if you are using it at your desk. But don’t just do that, after all this is designed as a truelly mobile PC. As I say it could have been just another fad, but I am already scouring Dabs and PCworld websites to check if there are updated versions of this fantastic machine.
Industry paper Screen Digest estimate that online downloads of video will reach 1.5 billion in the UK this year and this will be due in no small part to the succces of BBC Iplayer, which has dominated with a 38% market share in the last 6 months, within the free to air online TV marketplace.
“Screen Digest’s long-term financial outlook of the UK online TV sector will now be dependent on the future development of convincing platform strategies by UK commercial broadcasters ITV, Channel 4 and Five, as well as new entrants such as Bebo, MySpace, YouTube and Joost,” said the Screen Digest senior analyst, Arash Amel.
“It is expected that the success of the BBC’s iPlayer open web streaming model, and future ‘viral syndication’ strategies, will encourage UK commercial broadcasters to enter a long-term reassessment of how they deliver programming to users.”
Kelpie Media are keeping a close eye on this and are already roling out services for clients that will eventually lead to those customers launching niche TV channels of their own.
