2013 is going to be an exciting year for Credence Pictures!  We’ve updated our post production and field recording gear.  We’ve also added a BlackMagic Designs 1M/E digital switcher system and a HD external video recorder, along with a new camera and lens.  We will have the capability of multi-camera live recording (up to eight cameras (HD-SDI and HDMI) with graphics and green screen options. 

To our clients of the past few years, thank you for entrusting your story telling needs to us.  I hope we can work together this year!  Blessings and happy new year!

In late September/early October we produced a six minute video for Apex Tool Group highlighting the manufacturing process involved in the making of their world-renowned compound action aviation snips.  It is a fascinating process that takes place in their Sumter, SC manufacturing facility.

Our web design team is constantly looking for new and improved ways to enhance the user experience as well assist our clients in promoting their websites.  One of the hottest areas of interest today is Facebook, Twitter and other social media, so we have implemented several tools to help us interface a client’s website with social media.  The newest is a module for Expression Engine, our favorite development platform that automatically adds an update to Facebook and Twitter when making a news/blog/journal website entry.  Pretty cool

We recently discovered the good folks at iplayerHD.com.  They offer high quality video server hosting at a very affordable rate.  We are in the process of moving all our online video clips from a previous CDN server solution to iplayerHD.com.  For $30/month or $300/year you can upload as many video clips as you like, with a storage space of 50GB and a monthly bandwidth of 100GB!  And the quality is excellent.  Using their compression service you can upload a 1280x720HD video and they will create several different files so that your viewers browser will use the movie best suited for the browser and the viewers internet access speed.  It even includes a mobile device optimized compressed movie.  Your account includes backend access to name your movies, choose thumbnail pictures, add search engine tag info, embed codes for adding movies to your website, video playlists, etc. 

We are very excited about working with Wes and the other folks at iplayerHD.com and hope that you’ll check them out today.  They offer a 30-day free trial and you don’t need a credit card for that period.  Check them out and use this link so they’ll know we sent you.  http://www.iplayerhd.com/go/durham
