Video Tile Offer New Service

May 9th, 2012

With the new digital age which has most definitely settled in to most people’s lives now, the majority of businesses out there have a website and you may find that they have a promotional or interactive video integrated into their site.

These videos generally are someone describing the business, what they do and what services they offer. Quite handy for those technophobes among us if for example you don’t know where to look to find out more about a company.

There are other instances where it may be handy to have something which can explain what your business does if you’re meeting potential new clients at meetings or conferences. Well, the team at Video Tile have a new product which fits snugly into that description. If you’re at a conference, meeting new people and someone asks you about what your business does, yes you can hand them a business card but then it’s up to them to ring you.

What Video Tile is now offering to their customers is a flash drive or a USB pen loaded with an interactive video about their company. An interactive video is something that refers to a technique which integrates interaction and linear film into one.

This saves you having to carry around various pieces of paper which you will hand out to people throughout the day, instead you just hand out the USB pen and once they insert it into their computer they’ll be greeted with an interactive video about your business and they’ll be able to navigate their way around the video, download various documents and send you an email to you from within the video.

This is the kind of thing which could change the way people go about getting clients on board at meetings and conferences. If this sounds like something you fancy for your business you should contact Video Tile.

Hunger for Online Video in America Soars

April 25th, 2012

Almost half (46%) of consumers watching online video in America would be inclined to look up the businesses afterwards if a new product or brand is mentioned, according to a recent study.

Findings by Digitas, a global brand agency, reveal that the demand for online video in the States has soared and that there is now an increased urgency for businesses to invest in the production.

The survey, conducted by Harris Interactive, found that spending for online video advertising continues to grow and that the impact of online video is huge. According to the research, 49% of consumers who follow a brand on social networking sites like Facebook are likely to click on the link and watch a video it posted online.

Stephanie Sarofian, Managing Director of The Third Act: the brand content unit of Digitas, concluded this by saying that investing in online video is no longer optional. She said: “Consumers are hungry for online content and ready to take this journey with brands. And as the survey results show, today’s viewer is not just passively sitting and watching–they’re sharing, talking, clicking, testing.”

Further findings show that 63% of US adults browse online content whilst watching television and that 27% look at online content that is related to the show they are viewing.

Half of consumers surveyed claimed that if a video is enjoyable and high quality, they will share this online with three of their friends or more. And women above the age of 55 years-old are more likely to look up a brand after seeing a video online than men the same age.

The study involved 2,211 US adults aged 18 years old and older.

Despite the fact that the results are based in America, the trend has transcended across the globe and it is just as current in the UK as it is across the pond. Video Tile’s video production is based in the UK and we can help your business get on board the band wagon of investment success.

‘Deer’y Me – Fenton the Deer Chasing Dog’s Owner Unmasked

December 20th, 2011

For those of you who haven’t seen or heard about this video then fear not, we shall reveal all! It was recorded by 13 year old Jake Goodyear from Holloway in North London who was in Richmond Park with his dad at the time of the incident.

The man in the video has now been revealed. Father of two Max Findley was walking his black Labrador dog Fenton in the park when he suddenly bolted and ran after a herd of deer that were grazing in the park.

Young Jake was in the park with his dad Ali, last month when the incident happened and they recorded the whole thing and decided to put the video up on YouTube and within a couple of days the video was powering its way through the views and getting a lot of media attention.

In the video you see Mr. Findley’s dog chasing after the deer and the dog is closely followed by Mr. Findley himself alternately shouting “Fenton!” and “Oh, Jesus Christ!”. Then, despite Mr. Fenton’s furious attempts to try and stop his dog, the herd of frightened deer stampede across a busy road forcing cars to stop which leads to Mr. Findley swearing.

Mr. Findley was questioned about Fenton’s actions and said: “I don’t really want to add anything to the zillions of words already out there. I’d rather just leave the story where it is and move on.”

There are many videos on YouTube that are like this one, some have been produced by a video production company and don’t really do too well when it comes to turning viral. There are some good companies out there, like videotile.co.uk who can do both you and your company the world of good when it comes to producing a video. Whether that be to try and promote a product or service or whether that’s just to advertise your company.

A Polite Waving Bear – Video Goes Viral

December 16th, 2011

There are many animals out there that you would have down as polite, nice creatures that wouldn’t try and bite your hand off if you were to say, wave at them. Well we’d safely assume that a bear wouldn’t be in that list.

Well at the Olympic Game Farm in Sequim, Washington is a bear. It’s a part of the somewhat quiet reserve for orphaned or retired animals that starred in Disney’s nature films in the 1960’s. One of the Kodiak bears that they have there is a part of a group of Kodiaks that some may say are not normal Kodiak bears.

Having starred in a number of Disney films, some of these bears are a lot tamer than many others of the same breed. Well one of these tame bears was sat at the fence one day when a woman drove past in her car and waved at the huge beast, she was amazed to see it wave back at her.

The video was first uploaded to YouTube back in 2010 but it has recently become a viral hit having racked up over 300,000 views in the last few days.

There are a number of videos out there that have gone viral after a number of months or even years, and that’s just the way it goes sometimes. However, if you get in touch with a company and ask about their video production services you never know, you could be one of the lucky ones who’s video goes viral within a couple of days!

If you get in touch with a company such as videotile.co.uk then you may be able to produce a video that is of a substantial quality to pull in plenty of views and hopefully you will see the benefits of it!

Two Toddlers Become Internet Sensations

December 13th, 2011

Two young toddlers have quickly gone from a troublesome twosome to internet stars overnight! Well, more like 5 days. But we’re not here to bicker about that. The video shows how the two youngsters aged 1 and 3 covered their home in an ‘avalanche’ of flour.

The video, recorded by their mother has racked up well over 700,000 views in 5 days. You may argue however that a lot of these are not genuine views that people have gone on to watch this video. No, an awful lot of them are probably when people have gone on YouTube to watch the video to see how staged it is!

There are an awful lot of people commenting on the video saying how obviously staged it is. There are apparently a number of things in the video which indicate that two youngsters, aged 1 and 3 could not have done. For example there’s flour on a picture frame and on the mantelpiece which are far too high up for youngsters of their height to reach.

Viewers are speculating that the woman who uploaded the video is trying to cash in on what YouTube announced last week that they are paying out thousands and thousands of pounds to YouTube users who upload videos that create a frenzy on the web! Basically they’re paying out some of the money that they make from advertising in these videos.

If however you are a business owner and you want to make a promotional video for one of your products, or you want to make a video that will help to push the release of one of your new products then you should definitely look at getting in touch with a company like Video Tile who can help you make the perfect video!

There are of course many pros and cons to having a video made, but the pros heavily outweigh the cons. The only major con is that you have to pay for it without having any guarantee of what you will get from it. The pros are pretty obvious, increase in sales or business coming into the company and hopefully enough that you will cover the costs of having the video made!

YouTube pays out over £100k on Viral Videos

November 16th, 2011

If you’re short on money then YouTube could be a great way for you to get some cash.  Or not as they case may be. Not everyone who uploads a video to YouTube will make money from it, only a select few will make anything from YouTube’s Partner Programme.

You can make money from this programme, but it’s not guaranteed to make you lots of money. The YouTube Partnership Programme is basically where you sign up to become a YouTube partner and you get the opportunity to have things like adverts in your videos, thus making you a small fortune.

Unfortunately not just anyone can join up to this. You need to meet certain requirement and fit certain criteria. You must upload videos on a regular basis that get thousands of views on a daily basis. Otherwise there’s no point in YouTube signing you up to this programme.

The whole point of this programme is that you upload a video or two and have these advertisements embedded into your video or put on your channel page. Then any money that makes will be split between yourself and YouTube, but as said earlier it has to be beneficial to YouTube as well otherwise you won’t be getting signed up.

If you do have an idea for a viral video then you should look at getting in touch with a company such Video Tile. With all of the team having expert knowledge on how to produce the highest quality of video, just how you want it you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands.

Anything from a promotional video to web presenters you can get exactly what you need from Video Tile whilst being safe in the knowledge that you are getting a top quality service.
