Are you unsure about how to create a compelling corporate video?
Let's face it. Most company videos are boring.
Why? Because they don’t feature real people telling interesting stories.
It’s like someone hit a button and they just yanked the “storytelling” right out of the video!
Why is this a problem?
Producing a video is out of most people's normal day-to-day experience, even if you work in the marketing, PR or corporate communication areas.
You may never have produced a company video. Or perhaps you create one every once in a while. So what happens? Your confidence level and awareness of what's possible isn't as strong as it could be.
Over the past 40 years, so many corporate videos have been boring. Ever wonder why? Because they lacked a story and don't have a "personal" voice.
Many clients have been exposed to corporate videos using heavy-handed voice-over narration. Why is that a problem? The "voice" of the company isn't realized and captured as authentically as it could have been had the company featured the "voice" of their own employees and shareholders.

Unique ability to capture authentic and engaging stories
"In a world overflowing with data and information, Tom's filmmaking and storytelling mastery are revolutionizing the corporate video landscape. Organizations wishing to produce enlightening corporate films from a seasoned veteran would do well by embracing Tom's unique ability to capture authentic and engaging stories on film."Deepak Chopra, M.D., author, spiritual teacher, poet, prophet, Time Magazine's top 100 heroes and icons of the century
Powerful, emotional and personal stories
“…Tom listened, questioned, coached and mentored. He worked with me to co-create a unique and expanded vision for what this video could be--a series of powerful, emotional and personal stories that wrap around and support the educational content. The end product...four award winning videos! And one amazing journey. And on top of all this, he is a fun guy to work with."Paul Scribner, Former Program Manager, Epilepsy Foundation National Office
Amazing people skills
“Tom, or "Director Tom" as I like to call him, is a great person to work with. Not only is he a consummate professional at what he does, he also possesses amazing people skills that help him get great results out of all those he's working with.”John Koetsier, Director of Product Development at School Specialty
What makes Tom so unique?
What make me unique is that I've specialized in filming people from companies for 25 years. 99% of my films feature real people from companies telling real stories.
What does this mean for you and your company? A story told by your own people has meaning and emotions in it. It helps personalize what your company's message or story is really communicating. And of course, that's what makes your film unique and memorable. :-)
