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

Here is a test movie that we recently uploaded.

Today Credence Pictures launched a new website for the non-profit organization, Double Harvest.  The website features a Content Management System with news blogs for each of the countries that Double Harvest is working in.  It was a pleasure to work with such a worthwhile organization on their web presence.  Credence Pictures is hosting the site and will continue to maintain the website for them, adding new content as it becomes available.

Here is Double Harvest’s mission statement:

Double Harvest operates in third world countries to establish and develop agricultural projects by providing capital resources and implementing best practices to increase food production and to build the local economy.

We learned last weekend that one of our clients (NC Baptist Children’s Homes) had entered two productions that we created for them last year into the national Baptist Communicators Association award competition.  Roberta’s Story and NCBAM both won awards with Robert’s Story taking first place in its division and grand prize in the video category of the competition (The M. E. Dodd Memorial Award), and NCBAM taking second place in the same division.  We are very pleased that our work was recognized and that our client’s story was well received. 

You can view both videos in our Creations section.

We just finished a 13 minute promotional video for NC Baptist Hospital to promote the annual Mother’s Day Offering in 4,300 churches across North Carolina.  Credence Pictures has been blessed to be able to tell the stories of patients assisted by the offering for several years.
