Video is very powerful.  We were around a group of people the other day and one asked, "Have you heard that new song from so and so?"  The other responded, "No."  Then the one said, "Well it's the number one song on #iTunes after one day."  And then what stuck out was what the second person said.  They said, "iTunes?  I don't even remember the last time I've been on there.  If I want to hear a new song I'll just go to #Youtube and listen to it."  We thought that was pretty remarkable that a video website has become so popular and so mainstream and in many cases have turned relatively unknowns into well known celebrities....(some we wish would've never happened, see #justinbieber).  But anyways, we digress, video is a very powerful medium and there's no better way, in our minds, to communicate your message (ie. radio, still photography, smoke signals, etc.)  than video.  It's why we continue to do what we do, we thrive off of creating something from nothing and it's a beautiful thing when a shoot comes together and turns into a piece of cohesive art.  Call us for all your video needs.

Things could've gotten ugly last week for North Carolina and many states up and down the east coast when Hurricane Arthur threatened many.  Thankfully the damage was minimal and there was no loss of life (to our knowledge).  We decided to take our camera out to the beach when the Hurricane grazed the NC coast last Thursday, July 3.  Winds were probably around 50-70mph and not sure why we did it but we got some pretty good footage.  Well here take a look for yourself.  

We got a call today from a client we did a video for right around a year ago this time.  They were so excited because the video we produced for them has generated nearly 60K views on youtube.  We asked if it was directly leading to new business and without hesitation they answered, "YES!"  That makes us here at Orange St Films so happy to hear because even though we give 100% in every project we take on the business or client we work for doesn't always give 100% in using that video to it's maximum potential.  So when we get a call like that it's very gratifying.......not to mention they gave us the green light on another project in the next few weeks.  If you've thought about having a professional video made please view some of our work and give us a chance to help bring your idea to life.  We will leave the video we mentioned above below.  #film #advertising #marketing #TVCommercials #movies

If anyone ever asks us why we do what we do, we have one simple answer........watch the video below, haha.  In all seriousness when we get an opportunity to make a video like the one below we are so humbled and so grateful to be able to bring a message like 'Project Lifesaver' to life from script to video.  It was a true honor to continue to work with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office on projects and we couldn't produce this video fast enough.  It is a great service the Sheriff's Office offers and we hope we played a small part in raising awareness for this great program and hope anyone in that area reaches out if they have a need for Project Lifesaver.  #video #TV #film #projectlifesaver

It's been a while since we worked on this project but we co-produced, co-directed and shot this amazing documentary featuring 3 amazing soldiers (including recent #MedalofHonor honoree, #KyleCarpenter) overcome traumatic injuries sustained in Afghanistan and Iraq.  They are truly inspirational men and their stories will bring tears to your eyes.  A big THANK YOU to David Long and myemployees.com for financing the project.  The link to the DVD is below.

We've been doing TV commercials, web videos, movies, music videos and about everything video related now for years.  Why settle for a vanilla TV or Web spot that will represent your business for the time you allow the video run?  Why not spend a little more on the front end and have a great looking, creative, original video that will really make you stand out to potential customers?  People respond to videos and TV commercials that grab their attention and entertain them.  At Orange St Films we try to incorporate that flare of entertainment in every project we do.  Plus we've gotten really savvy on helping our clients with certain aspects of their social media (mainly building #youtube and #vimeo pages).  So don't settle for a run of the mill TV or Web ad that every Tom, Dick and Jane are doing, STAND OUT and call Orange St Films today.

Not sure how we began doing videos of all shapes and forms for many different school systems but we did and we are very thankful for that opportunity.  We blogged a couple months back on a shoot or shoots we did for the NCASA (North Carolina Association of School Administrators) but we never put the final video in the blog section.....it has been on our site for some time but just wanted to blog more about that video and say how grateful we are for the opportunities that come our way to work with schools.  We are extremely proud of this video and it's been shown statewide at many different settings and functions.  Take a minute to view the video and always remember how important our schools are for our future.

If you are a business or corporation that is in need of a high-end professional video or series of videos then look no further because we are here for you.  We've produced hundreds of these videos over the years and our newest one (which we just completed a few hours ago) has turned out great and the client is ecstatic over the final product.  We will leave a link below so you can check it out.  We shot and edited in a matter of days (would've been quicker if it wasn't for the weekend and the holiday).  Anyways these types of videos can be paramount in growing your business and could be key to getting your message out there to potential customers who may have never heard of your business before.  Take a minute to view this video and please give us a call or email and inquire as to how we can help grow your business with a very professional looking video.      [email protected]      #video #marketing #film #business #growth #marketingvideo

We recently shot, directed, produced and edited a new commercial for Head to Toe Med Spa in #WilmingtonNC.  It was a quick, fun little shoot that is running on TV and getting a good response.  Have a look and let us know what you think.  Also for all your commercial and video needs please contact Orange St Films today.  #film #movies #TV #commercials #TVCommercials #camera #new #filmmaker #workhard
