Artist Tia Crystal has been the focus of a lot attention lately with her amazing paintings. We at Lloyd’s Studio Photography have been key in the development of her on line presence with our  video and photographic services.

Here is a sample of our work.

And our photography:

In my latest photo shoots, not only do I take still images, but  I create these video pod casts, edit them, add a company logo and the client’s phone number.  These  sample video pod casts play on the client’s website showcasing a product or service.  Below is a sample with my logo to show that I provide this video production service and the actual video with the client’s logo and other info below that. Note, in an earlier post I had already shown other similar videos but from a different client and her video testimonial.

Below is the actual client  e-video marketing sample of the same…

I have had my Canon 5D Mark II for a while now and I have raved about it’s photo features. Only until recently did I delve in deeper into it’s VIDEO capabilities. So during a recent executive photo shoot I did both, an image capture and a video of my client Jennifer from E- Dealer Solutions.  I then edited it on AE to ad her company logo and mine. She also graciously agreed to do a VIDEO TESTIMONIAL about her experience with our studio.

Here is the video testimonial shot with my Canon 5D Mark II.

And here is the Promo video I created for her company.

As you can see I added the logos and other video edits using AE (After Effects), a special professional video editing software. I call it the “Photoshop of video” because it does more than just cut and paste video.

And here I have the final image of the shoot. The 5D MKII is in my view the most versitile camera yet…

It’s Snowing in Boca!

December 30, 2009

Yea… Can you Beleive it?…   LOL just kidding but I have VIDEO!!!   I Created this video for the Holidays.

Well this year is almost over and I decided to do something fun for the holidays! I noticed the Statue of Mr. Addison Mizner with his Monkey on his arm, It’s across the way from my studio at THE BOCA GRAND BUILDING in the corner of  SE4th and federal. At night it is lit in many holiday colors so this served as my inspiration for this HD video I took with my Canon Eos 5D Mark II and to top it off  I “Digitally added” some SNOW! At night I also videoed the colorful lights, it gives downtown Boca a “holiday feel” that I enjoy. Check out these pics and videos I took at night!

Lastly a video at night…  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!

I got a GREAT present for Christmas this year and early to boot… not from Santa but maybe even BETTER!

FROM GOOGLE!!!!   It was a regular day today until I went to my mailbox and found this in it….

My Google Envelope

My Google Envelope

At first I thought it was a regular Google advertisement piece…. but then I read the letter and started to jump up and down, I could not believe what I was reading it was like I won the LOTTERY!!!

My GOOGLE FAVORITE PLACE AWARD LETTER FROM GOOGLE

My GOOGLE FAVORITE PLACE AWARD LETTER FROM GOOGLE

The letter basically said: “Congratulations! You’re a Favorite Place on Google”

” Michaela Prescott The Google Local Business Team”

it also included a sticker (they call it a decal) for me to put on my door… so I did, here is the video:

Below is a video from Google explaining this COOL NEW QR code TECHNOLOGY…

Click on my Google Sticker below to go to Google’s page explaining the technology and how to use it.

HOW DID THIS HAPPEN????????

ANSEWER FROM Google website:

  • How did Google decide which businesses would receive the decal? The list was determined based on the popularity of a business’ Local Business Center listing, as determined by how many times Google users looked for more information about a business, requested driving directions to get there, and more. Google users “decided” based on their actions, and we sent the decals.
  • How selective was Google in selecting the businesses to receive the decal? Over 100,000 businesses were identified as Favorite Places, representing less than 1% of the 28 million U.S. businesses. We believe that our standards for selecting businesses are as selective or more selective than other companies which have run similar initiatives.

THANK YOU Google (AND MY CUSTOMERS)

P.S. I STILL USE THE GOOGLE MUG YOU SENT ME LONG AGO…

AND I LOVE GOOGLE CHROME!!!!

This is a Whopper of a secret!!!  In doing research for this blog post, I came across AFRICA-USA.COM,  a website about America’s First Cageless African Wildlife Animal Themed Park.  I had no idea this place had existed HERE IN DOWNTOWN BOCA RATON! and predated LION COUNTRY SAFARI!!!! And when I mean here I mean HERE where my building is situated, below is an aerial photograph.  It was even on the cover of  LIFE MAGAZINE!!! Sadly it no longer exists, but it is celebrated in this website, you must visit AFRICA-USA.COM.

This rare aerial photo of Africa U.S.A. was taken in 1956.

This rare aerial photo of Africa U.S.A. was taken in 1956.

“This web site is a history and virtual tour of Africa U.S.A., an African wildlife tourist attraction that was open from 1953 until 1961. The park was located in Boca Raton, Florida on 300 acres of land near U.S.1.”

HERE is a Video from YouTube of the park in its Heyday courtesy Africa-usa.com “Film from 1956, taken by GeorgeHill.”

And here is one of the most striking photographs of all, an advertising to the park on U.S.1 (Federal Highway)

from the 1950′s  (CORRECTION: As Mrs. Pederson states, The camel Photograph Below IS in Boca Raton, but it’s from  the 1920′s and NOT about AFRICA-USA, But for a Shriner’s Convention and to draw interest in Boca Raton at the time.

THANK YOU! Mrs. Pederson )
