Our first client production, this video is focused on PRWeb's newswire service and a concept we call "The River of News." We're so excited to publish our first production. PR Web is currently using the video on their home page (left side).
Being that PRWeb is a news release company we've also created our own news release, complete with embedded photos and the video. We're both interested to see what comes of it, this is the first time we've done a press release.
If you'd like to share the video, you can find the embed code on the brand new "Common Craft Productions" pages on You Tube and Blip.tv.
This is the first of two client productions we'll publish this week. Stay tuned.
Updated: The second video is live: Google Docs in Plain English.
Have a suggestion? Tell us about it, please.
Cool. I have never thought
Cool. I have never thought that such thing can be done
Great Job!
That's a terrific video--I particularly like the 'river of news' metaphor.
It's got nothing to do with you guys, but PRWeb is, frankly, way over-promising on what it's good for.
Thanks so much!
Lee and Sachi,
Thanks again - you guys really helped make this a tremendous experience and this is an invaluable content piece for people interested in PRWeb.
Thanks,
Jiyan
Dugg!
Another triumph! Digg link at http://digg.com/videos/educational/PRWeb_in_Plain_English
Nice work!
That's some great video right there. It's so cool to see how y'all have turned that into a business. ANYway, just wanted to say nice job. Off to check out PRWeb. :)
Brilliant!
Nice work, Lee. You've explained the broad concept of social media communication, never mind PR Web.
You should do more of these, they might catch some imaginations ;)
The audio
Lee,
I read the post sometime ago about the improvements you were making to the video making process. I just wanted to tell you that you have nailed the audio, its really great now!
many thanks
Thanks so much for the kind words everyone. This first project was a challenge and it was a gift to work with folks like Jiyan at PRWeb who were willing to give us a shot as we got started.
Jay - thanks for noticing the audio. We have our settings glued down and I hope we won't have to make any changes for a while. :)
PRweb video: yay! PRweb website: boo!
Fantastic video. I went from having no idea about or interest in PRweb to being really interested and wanting to recommend it to a number of businesses I work with. And, I'm thinking: wow, this is great, I can show people this video and they're going to be interested in this.
Really, really, great!
Then, unfortunately, I went to the PRweb website. That was big set-back on my experience of their offering. I don't know if I'm going to be able to recommend PRweb to anyone quite yet.
Maybe PRweb isn't really interested in using the web to attract new customers (e.g., maybe they're really focused on up- / cross-selling their services to existing customers)?
PRweb seems really smart to hire Common Craft to explain what their service offers to their customers. But, I hope they hire you again to help them explain how they offer that service, because it ain't clear enough via their website.
Lee and Sachi: Awesome job!
Lee and Sachi: Awesome job! They are getting better and better. Sound is good and images are well thought out and convey the message clearly. I am jealous.
f'n awesome
I featured your RSS video (I think it was that one) on my blog... I think your firm and your style is awesome.
Congrats, and keep up the good work... I will inevitable become a client one day.... and/or, my clients will be :)

Great - Very Clear
Thanks, Lee. That was very informative.
I also really enjoyed the Wiki video you guys made etc.
I just recommended these to a brilliant but somewhat luddite friend of mine in hopes of getting him interested in the "interweb" and its power.
I'm dissappointed. Up until
I'm dissappointed. Up until now you've had great videos on the big concepts behind web 2.0. This, on the other hand, feels like an advertisement for PRWeb, whom I've never even heard of. Who cares?
have never used
this is a good video, except i've never used prweb before. i think there are other services that are free, except this one is the most well known.
Awesome!
I posted on your FB that this was a great new vid (a FB friend just posted it to their profile) - then I see that it's actually your first. NIce job!
