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.

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.

A special thank you to my long time friends and production associates Warren Gentry (Warren Gentry & Associates) and Kenny Conyers for the their work on the project.  Thanks also to Blazing Music and Sound for their sound design work and Killer Tracks for the music. 

In March 2009 we took two fishing trips off the North Carolina coast to shoot footage for a promotional video on a new fishing jig from Hampstead, NC based Blue Water Candy Lures.  The jig is called the Roscoe and it is a fishing machine.  We caught about 25 different species of fish with it.  The video will be used in trade shows and the web to promote the new product.

We recently returned from a 23-day production trip to Ghana, Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya and Zimbabwe.  I’ll be posting some photos and video clips in the coming weeks.  This was our first time using our new Canon 5D Mark II camera for both digital stills and video clips.  The quality was very impressive.  Here is one photo I won’t soon forget!
