Mark R. Robertson, founder and creator of ReelSEO.com, says “Why add video to your site’s product pages? Because simply put, product videos sell products. While shoppers who actually view a product video are buying at a higher rate than those who choose not to watch the video, what has proven even more interesting is the fact that people who do NOT watch the video are converting at a significantly higher rate than shoppers viewing the same product page without the option for video viewing.” (Read more of this article at http://www.reelseo.com/videos-sell-products-watch/.

I stopped in to Biker’s Edge this summer to see a friend of my wife’s who works there and ended up shooting a business video for them. It’s always great shooting a business that has a lot to shoot and a lot going on. I could tell that Biker’s Edge was a quality place and all the guys on staff were really cool with me running my camera off. If you are into any kind of biking and are in the Kaysville, Utah area, make sure to stop in and check it out. www.bebikes.com

Mesquite Ford from dmgFilms on Vimeo.

This spot was produced for Mesquite Ford/Lincoln/Mercury and commissioned by TCS Advertising (St. George, Utah). The main challenge with this spot was incorporating photos that had been taken by someone at Mesquite Ford. It is always a bit tough to try and use still photos, especially stills taken by a non-professional, and still give it somewhat of a motion feel.
dmgFilms decided to incorporate the transition lines (created in LiveType) to portray movement without using motion video.
The music is by Shallow Day.

Teryl McKnight, owner of Let’s Quilt, along with her husband John, have built a great hub for Long Arm Quilting. Not only is it a first class training center, but it is a club house for all those quilting fanatics that want to spend every waking hour quilting.

I had a neighbor lady in her 70’s who’s husband died. When she was asked if she missed having him around, she answered, “sort of, but now I can quilt whenever I want.” When I heard her say that, I knew there was something special about quilting.

It was great getting to know Teryl and John and to feel their passion for the industry and their desire to help others. And who knows, maybe someday I’ll be threading the needle.

Virgin River Skimboard Company has been around since the summer of 2008, but a couple months ago Chan Nay took over the research and development and has a goal of creating the best inland skimbaord. Chan (25) is the father of four, has a solid background in woodworking and is a visionary. His shop, located in the St. George Industrial Park, is small but packed with all the makings of a board company that will rival Victoria, J. Gordon, Dashboard, and any other flatland skimboard manufacturer.

Mike Gardner (38), dmgFilms owner, was instrumental in bringing skimbaording to St. George in 1988 and has pushed the skimboarding scene in Southern Utah ever since. Mike & VRskimz crossed paths in May 2009 and Mike could see promise in the fledgling company. dmgFilms produced this video mainly as a marketing piece to help Chan pitch Big5 and Sport Chalet.

This video is hosted by another new company, www.utahbiztube.com. UtahBizTube is helping to promote business and create awareness in the Utah market. Thanks UBT.

Good luck Virgin River Skimboards. And may you always skim on!

Troy’s BBQ is genuine barbecue. After introducing my camera to the smoker, I smelled like roasting hickory chips for the rest of the day. Sort of made me want to go camping. I myself had a pulled turkey sandwich and loved it. The people that we got on camera for this video spot practically volunteered to say a few words about their experience. Troy, the owner, on the other hand wasn’t so willing. He’s what you might call camera shy.  Hey, fame’s not for everyone. Troy’s BBQ has really great food and a really kick back atmosphere. Take my word for it and get down there for lunch or dinner. It’s truly the place to go for the best barbecue in St. George, Utah.

This video was produced for www.myseniorsaver.com. If you are 55 yrs or older, www.myseniorsaver.com is becoming the hub for deals, events, food, lifestyle and whatever else you might be looking for. Check it out even if you aren’t quite 55.

Eden’s Keep is a fantastic new themed suite located in Washington, Utah. Randy Paul (owner/sculptor) wanted to build a place where couples could go to completely get away from the world and focus on each other. In this video Randy explains his goal with this project. We also hear testimonials from the Christensens of Steamboat Springs, Colorado and Debbie Peysar, the event coordinator at the beautiful Villa Gardens in St. George, Utah (www.vintagecelebrations.com).

It was great working with Randy on this video project and trying to portray the vision that he has for the couples who are able to experience this work of art. My wife and I have already booked Eden’s Keep for our next anniversary. My wife is excited to say the least.
