My Introduction

From an early age I've always found comfort sitting in front of a television watching a good movie. The beauty about movies is you can imagine being such a character like Superman or Spiderman and immediately after watching you just want to fly off into the distance or climb that wall. Movies take you where no other thing can. I love them and I'm very passionate about them. For me, watching a good video is far more riveting than reading a book or article.

My Company

I run my own video and multimedia production company, Encore Productions, based in Plymouth, Devon. I started Encore Productions in July 1999 initially filming in the wedding market. Although this gave me a considerable amount of experience it eventually became a little bit too monotonous for me and I have now moved on into the corporate world. For more information please visit Encore Productions .

My Beliefs

I believe every company should consider having video or I should say dvd these days, to promote themselves, their company or product or service. Broadband has changed the way we view video content on the web forever and with download speeds of up to 10mb, the quality and speed of video which can be watched online is fantastic. We only have to look back on the good old days with the introducing of modems to see just how quick and far the internet has evolved and boy is it going to get better.

There are many places on the internet today where people can promote and share video content about themselves or their company. The phenomena of the likes of youtube.com have created more and more places for people to share video content with others.
