July 2010 Update: On Demand Production Network
July 1, 2010 | Permalink
Hello,
First off, if you don't have time to read this email, you MUST skip down and watch both of the videos. They're really worth it!
Last week we were at the Banff World Television Festival. We were pitching a pilot created by our entertainment brand, www.insiderfilms.com. Meetings went very well, and we look forward to updating you in the coming months with news and a preview of the show!
An interesting statistic we learned at the festival was that every 60 minutes, 24 hours of content is uploaded to youtube. Now more than ever it's key to stand out from the crowd with a high-quality production that matches your brand.
This month we're sharing two special projects:
1. Peter Oates Charity Project
ODPN was recently approached to create a video that would generate interest and donations for a charity run headed up Peter Oates. All proceeds go to support BC Children's Hospital. Our very own Rich Murray directed and produced this concept:
2. Hosting BC Update
Back in March we sent out a preview of this project and now we've got a final video ready to show you:
ODPN Recommends:
One more platform to consider when getting your video output is IPAD. We optimize custom videos for IPAD use as well, so be sure to let us know if you'd like IPAD to be included when we deliver your custom video production.

Hello,
It's been a great month around the ODPN offices. A number of our clients have won awards based on videos that we've produced. At the same time one of our up and coming Directors JP has been nominated for some cool awards. This month we're going to focus on JP for those of you who haven't yet worked with him.
JP has a 2010 Leo award nomination for Best Program, (Music Video) for the Hey Ocean video – A song about California.
He's also nominated for a Much Music Video Award for his work on the Ill Scarlett video shot in Toronto recently. (see below)
On to the videos, (Directed by JP) for this month:
1. DHM Bars www.dhmbars.ca
Last month we were asked to create a unique 15-second commercial for DHM Bars. This is a multi-platform commercial to run online as well as in taxicab advertising. JP was chosen to direct the project, and the rest is history. Check it out: http://www.odpn.ca/demand/videos/dhm_bars
2. Milkshakes and Razorblades – Ill Scarlett
JP was chosen to direct Ill Scarlett's latest music video shot in Toronto a couple months back. Now the video is nominated for Best Post Production at the MMVA's:
ODPN Recommends:
Don't forget that at ODPN we produce everything from corporate videos to taxicab advertising, to web content, and tv commercials. If you're looking for a unique flavour in your upcoming video production, take a spin through some of our exclusive Director's reels here: http://www.insiderfilms.com/films/talent/ (for the time being they're only on our sister company's site because we're too damn busy to change it!... we're working on it)
Thank you for your continued interest and support. Until July….

May 2010 Update: On Demand Production Network

Hello,
We’ve got a crazy schedule coming up at ODPN for May and June. We’ll be shooting all over the globe this summer! At the same time our sister company Insider Films, (www.insiderfilms.com) will be attending the World Television Festival in Banff! If you’re looking to book shoot dates before July… be sure to connect with us soon!
Here a couple creative videos we produced recently:
1. Terminal City Club Events
Terminal City Club, established in 1892, is Vancouver's premier private club. ODPN produced this video to showcase the club’s various event and banquet capabilities. If you’re planning a gala fundraiser, corporate function, a wedding, or an intimate dinner then we highly recommend the Terminal City Club www.tcclub.com
2. SanGold Corporation 30-second commercial
As part of ODPN’s ongoing work with SanGold Corporation, (www.sangoldcorp.com) we produced a 30-second tv commercial that is currently airing on BNN.
ODPN Recommends:
Less is more when it comes to videos. Depending on how you’re using your video it’s always good to keep your message focused. Normally when we’re producing a marketing video, we recommend keeping the overall length shorter if possible. Of course some videos require more information, but if you can it’s great to keep your message to 2 – 3 minutes total.

April Update: On Demand Production Network

Good morning,
As the weather starts to get nice it’s a great time to think about shooting outside.
Whether your production is a 30-second commercial, web-video pre-roll, a documentary, corporate video, or investor relations video, Spring and Summer are great for getting outside beauty shots.
On to the videos! I know you’re busy, but this month’s profiled videos are really special.
1. YAHOO! SPORTS
During the Olympics, ODPN had the opportunity to work together with Yahoo! Sports on some really cool projects documenting the events. Here is just one of many videos we worked on:
2. Ocean’s (You’ve likely seen their products in your cupboard)
We recently had the pleasure of doing some work with our friends at Snap Tech Marketing, (www.snaptechmarketing.com) on the creation of a corporate profile for Ocean’s:
ODPN Recommends:
We’ve had a number of clients use our production services to capture media b-roll. A lot of companies don’t think about creating their own video to be served up to media in a controlled environment. It’s another great use for video that’s often overlooked. If your company is regularly in the media, consider using our services to manage how your story is told.
Thank you for reading this month’s update! Remember to call your Account Manager today to book your Summer productions!

March Update: On Demand Production Network
March 1, 2010 | Permalink
Good morning,
How's that for a gold medal hockey game between Canada and the United States? It's a little quiet around the ODPN offices today as we're all struggling to recover from the Olympic hangover. It's been an amazing few weeks of shooting though. In the coming months we'll have really unique and exciting videos to share with you.
Canada has brought home a new record amount of gold and so has ODPN. Check out these two gold medal worthy videos for March:
1. Hosting BC (www.hostingbc.ca )
ODPN worked with international athletes in communities throughout the province showcasing BC's world-class training facilities:
2. BCTC (www.bctc.com)
In response to the BC Energy Plan and other business drivers, British Columbia Transmission Corporation (BCTC) teamed up with ODPN to create the first edition of its Transmission Technology Roadmap videos:
ODPN Recommends:
In our last email update, I mistakenly sent many of you to the wrong url to check out Charity Trucks. Please take a moment to see what the team over at Charity Trucks are up to: www.charitytrucks.org
Thank you for taking the time to read this update. Next month we hope to share some of the content we created with Yahoo! Here's to a stellar March!
