Very interesting. The biggest challenge is to cover big catalogs with product videos. I have crossed an interesting company - Treepodia, who developed a smart technology that creates thousands of videos at a glance, from product images. Worthwhile to follow it. Great article.

You might want to consider a you tube account to upload your video too, you can then embed your video into your website when the viewer clicks on the image of your video on your site it will directed the viewer to your you tube Video player which will allow them to view your video alot quicker.

I think that if you can encapsulate the who, what, where, when and how into a three to four minute video you can definitely increase your business without losing the viewer. From what I have seen I agree that production of the video is key. If one part of the video is lacking quality then that could possibly convey to the viewer that the product that is being sold could also lack quality. I will definitely utilize some of the points that Derrick had brought up. Understanding that bandwith can be an issue I wonder if it's better to stream the video from the website or is it better to let the viewer download the video?

One of my favorite shows on Food Network is "Unwrapped". I love seeing how companies make foods especially when they "pull" sugar candy. It's so interesting! I could see how a website could use video to catch attention of people like me that like that. Chris, that’s funny you mention the marshmallow peeps.

I watched a show one time that documented the process of how they make marshmallow "peeps." Marshmallow peeps, you ask? Yea, I know. But amazingly enough - I was fascinated by the process. So I totally agree with you and think that's a really great idea. Show us a products development from start to finish. . .neat. Derrick, you may want to incorporate this into your work for future clients! Amanda, that’s a fantastic idea.

I think it would be a really great idea for a business that has a great innovative product to show how the product was invented from start to finish. It definitely would catch my eye. Does anyone have video on their website? I'd love to see some. Derrick has some really thought provoking ideas on how to use video.

And there's no greater tool to do so than video. People do love to hear stories, and especially one's that they can relate to. When I hear someone's else's personal story and they've told it rather openly and without fear, I admire that. I really have to agree with his main focus as well – which is story telling.
