…Hallelujah! Yesterday we did the starting line up and crowd hype videos for Louisiana Tech’s upcoming season. It was great to have the football players in their unis getting excited and really getting into the shoot.

RB Ray Holley films his intro for the starting line up.

Fans can look forward to their Bulldogs doing "The Bernie" (a dance that originated only a few miles away!).

In other Tech Athletics news, we recently had some of our work printed up to adorn the Thomas Assembly Center walls on campus.

One common obstacle you see from businesses is they want a commercial but they don’t want to pay the expensive cost of running it on TV. Well, no offense, but that’s for your old man. Today, the Internet has leveled the playing field. You can promote your site with a video on your own website and social media sites like YouTube and Facebook…for free.

Not only are videos a great promotion tool, but they make your site more interesting and can sum up your product for for first time visitors. An example of using video on a website is the recent design we did for Beehive’s rainBOPS rain boots. Their site prominently features a video and then lists the types of boots available.

The site is simple and user friendly. The key there is the video — it speaks for the site and lets the visitor get down to shopping.

So if you’ve been looking at a video for your business but are afraid of costs, don’t be. A high quality video can put you in front of millions of viewers for free.

We did this fun little video for Beehive here in Ruston. We designed a website for their Flip Flop Hanger, that went live Wednesday, we also shot a video to go along with it showing the product’s versatility and how much space it can save. This use of video on websites is a perfect example of how you can use video on your site to promote your product and brand without having to pay for commercials on TV. Great thing about the Internet is it’s free!

Check out the video below:

We had to shoot a documentary here at the studio for a City of Ruston proposal, starring yours truly, and as you can imagine, our lack of experience in front of the camera reared its ugly head. So here are the odds and sods from the shoot for your enjoyment.
