Great Stories for a Great Cause

Thursday, May 31st, 2012

I am on the Board of Friends of Reston, a non-profit with a mission of community improvement and nature education. I am also the founder of Better Said Than Done, Northern Virginia’s premiere storytelling troupe. This Saturday, those two worlds are coming together when Better Said Than Done host a storytelling fundraiser for Friends of Reston. I hope you will all come out to see a great show and raise money for a great cause. All proceeds will go towards scholarships for local children to attend summer camp, kids who otherwise would not be able to.

Seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Cisco Systems Recruitment Video

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012

Capture Video just produced a recruitment video for Cisco Systems Public Sector Advanced Services(PSAS).

When Cisco first approached Capture Video about producing this recruitment video, I asked why they needed the video. They are a dynamic, well known, well liked company, and they are hiring. You would think there would be a million people applying for the jobs. The problem is, the PSAS team is recruiting a highly specialized employee, and there aren’t a lot of people out there who meet all the requirements. They need more qualified prospects to contact them. So they wanted a video to create awareness, generate buzz, and to get the word out.

Have Camera, Will Travel

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

Capture Video can handle your video production needs, whether in the DC Metro area or anywhere in the world. So, yes, we will fly to Paris and Rome and Hawaii for you. Please? More typically we get sent to Ohio, or Missouri or, Tennessee, and that is just fine with us!

PRIMA, the Public Risk Management Association, is one client who has sent us packing, meaning traveling for work! This is the third year we are creating a video for their Public Risk Manager of the Year gala. Last time, we were lucky enough to get sent to St. Louis.

I have to say, it’s not a town I would typically have thought to travel to, but am so glad I got to spend a little time there. And the award winner and his colleagues who we interviewed were so accommodating. I got to go up in the Arch, and go on a river boat ride, and eat some delicious and unique pizza while I was there – when I wasn’t working, of course.

Here is a short version of the video Capture Video produced for the Public Risk Manager of the Year Awards.
