People Watching More Ads Via Online Video Than Ever Before.
In this article it stated, ” Data released by video technology company Freewheel shows that people are watching more web videos than ever and, as part of that experience, are screening more video ads online. According to Freewheel data, online video views grew by 97% in the third quarter of 2011 over fourth quarter 2010, while video ad views grew 128%. Study findings were gleaned from an analysis of some 12 billion videos on Fox, ESPN, Turner, Univision and other media websites.”
Now this got my interest because the new direction of Poco Productions is website videos, but on a much smaller level. While Fox and ESPN might be considered “the Big Boys”, my interest is in the small business wanting to have a website presence for local clientele. What this statistic shows is the global rise in people accepting video as a means of advertising.”

What better way for a small business to advertise who they are, and what they do then a personal video of the owner appealing to a potential client the moment they arrive on a website.
In another article, Comscore.com press release gave a list of top 10 online video rankings. To no ones surprise Google-Youtube won big time.

For 28 years I travelled the world and been to all but one state (Alaska). In the process I have learned the art of packing light and being able to shoot video in adverse situations. Travel is a unique challenge and requires experience, planning, and above all, flexibility.
My goal is to provide a potential client with an affirmative yes, I can shoot that video in Montana, be there in two days, and provide them with everything they ask, anytime, anywhere . This will come with a price; travel is not cheap these days. I can plan my own travel arrangements, including flight, over baggage, car rental, hotel, and per diem. Drive trips can also be arranged.
I have both small HD and SD cameras, wireless mics, and a 50 lb. light kit with 5 lights. I can travel alone or with a producer. Drive trips can also be arranged
