Lights. Camera. Education!




The First-EVER White House Student Film Festival. Deadline is January 29, 2014!

Lights. Camera. Education!

Are you a student filmmaker? Know someone who is?

We want your help.

If you're a student, we want you to make a short film -- and have the chance to show it right here at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for the first-ever White House Student Film Festival. If you're a parent or a friend, pass this on to a student you know.

The topic? Technology in classrooms. There's huge power in what technology can do for education -- from taking a course online, to collaborating with students from across the country (or the world!).

We're looking for awesome student filmmakers to show the power of technology in classrooms in a short film.



But hurry! You've only got until January 29th to send in your submission. So if it's going to get "two thumbs up," you'd better start now.

Jacksonville Production Company Offers Same Day Turnaround for Online Videos

Easy Edit Video unveils its new green screen studio, designed specifically to address the increased demand for high-quality, budget-friendly videos by businesses and organizations competing for your attention online.

“Every business has a website, and now with our in-house professional studio set-up, any business can afford to quickly add video content that can be used to better market their goods and services,” says Easy Edit Video President David Zuckerman.

Online measurement company comScore reports that 89 million people in the United States are going to watch 1.2 billion online videos today. According to Internet Retailer, visitors who watch product videos are 85% more likely to buy than people who don’t watch the videos. Also, internet users overwhelmingly agree they would rather watch a video than read a page of text, and they are more likely to act on what they saw.

“Internet video is the most powerful and affordable marketing tool we have seen in decades,” says Zuckerman. “Creating an effective internet video doesn’t have to be a major Hollywood production. We’ve streamlined the process so we can shoot and edit a 60-second video in just two hours.”

Easy Edit Video’s unique process includes a new green screen studio wall, which is used for chroma key compositing. In short, it’s a special effects technique used to layer two images together. By recording a client in front of a professionally lit green screen, Easy Edit Video is able to replace the green background with video, images or graphics. This strategy—employed in news, motion picture and video game production—reduces the time and expense of multi-location shoots and enables a business owner to talk about their products and services while showing the visual content that tells their story.

Easy Edit Video’s new studio also includes a teleprompter, making it easy for clients to deliver flawless on-camera presentations. “It’s a one-stop professional shop,” says Zuckerman. “It allows us to meet the multimedia needs of local businesses in a way that perhaps they couldn’t afford before.”

About Easy Edit Video
Clients include the University of North Florida, Ring Power, Bolles School, Deutsche Bank, Florida Department of Transportation and Florida National Guard.
Easy Edit Video is located at 8431 Baymeadows Way, has proudly served the First Coast since 1993, and is a certified City of Jacksonville Small Enterprise Business.
