Culture Mood Twitter Chat

Culture Mood- Twitter chat

American culture is a whole mood. When you think about it, it drives several billion dollar industries that directly affect the economy. 

Fashion

 

Music

 

Film

 

And yet for some reason?

 It often seems like the people who set the trends get the least respect from the companies we buy from – we’ll mention no names of course. 

(Brief pause to reflect on this Summer’s faux pas while giving them NO energy.)

So what can we do about that? 

We can start with a discussion. 

Culture Moods is all about Black contributions to all types of culture, with a recurring emphasis on style and fashion. 

 

In what we are hoping will be the first of many Twitter chats we have brought on an expert to discuss a topic of much frustration. 

On Thursday August 8th at 9 pm Eastern where we’ll be sharing our fashion inspiration and interview our guest expert Gary J. Nix. 

After our swag style introductions, he’ll explain to us why  Nothing Moves Without Us: The value of our cultural proximity and how to make it work for you.

 

Join us on Twitter using the #CultureMoods hashtag on August 8 at 9 pm ET.

5 Reasons to Use Video in Your Business

Yaletown, Vancouver BC CanadaVideo has proven to be an incredible boost to any business. But only if it’s done well. Here are a few reasons you should use video in your business.

1. Videos are easily found in online through a search engine. The truth is YOUTUBE is a search engine, and you can find almost anything there.
2. You can measure the results of video. There are metrics you will want to know to improve the results you want to receive.
3. They are easy to share. This makes it easy for people to “spread the word” for you.
4. Video is great with mobile. Most people are watching things online on their phone. It quickly translates on any phone.
5. Your competition is using it. You might as well make it an even playing field and have video also.

The problem most businesses have been finding the best company to produce their video. It’s not enough to have a video camera and editing software. You must have a team that cares about the projects and understands the bigger implications.

Canada is the home to one such company called Tetra Films. As Vancouver video production company they go through the entire Pre-Production, Production, and Post-Production process. By not skipping over these important steps, they can create exclusive videos. They understand how to work with you team to create the kind of script that gets results.

Tetra Films employs the latest video technology, video marketing techniques, and video distribution processes because they know it’s not enough to just make a video. The video must be distributed. They want to make a difference, not just create video. They even offer their media buying services after the video is completed. You’ll have all the benefits of being ahead of all your competition.

I’ve been watching my clients use video in some interesting ways. One client started out at the same time as her competition. She watched her competition grow her tribe, sell books, sell out speaking event and then the woman eventually had her own successful event where she made over $65,000. It happened in 2 short years. My client decided after two years to start investing in her well-made videos. No bad camera work from a simple cell phone. Real videos that created an impact. She immediately saw an increase in her income.

Some people are still posting all text in their social media. They do not understand that video is social media. They are still posting words in their social media and can’t understand why no one is liking or sharing their post. People simple do not see word posts anymore. One client is seeing an incredible boost in the number of people attending her webinars and becoming followers. It is because she is putting out an LOT of video. More video than her competition is comfortable with. However, she is the one that is ahead of the game! Using video well reflects in real revenue flowing into your business. It is not about what you want to do. It’s about helping your clients and potential clients see you instead of your competition. There are a lot of things that vie for the attention of clients. We must make sure we stand out.

Video is an easy way to stand out, tell and story and be relevant. It makes your business look bigger than it is and can convey the quality that you provide your clients and customers

Futurum X is where Mad Max meets Star Wars meets The Time Machine.

Kax is from the year 2700 and must go back in time to make sure he is never born or else mankind will never survive. This time when he goes back, the Earth has changed and is now ruled by women. Also, he’s lost his best friend Max who is a computer and if that wasn’t bad enough, he’s being hunted by Time bandits who want use Max to bind the space time continuum. It’s complicated, but who wants boring.

Futurum X is a feature film written and directed by award winning filmmaker Kipp Howard and features the talents of Dean Jones for GGI, Luke Kirby on music, Zane Anderson on production design, Lorin Paddock and Shane KerKesik add their awesome use of Drone Shot Footage.

In May 2015 the team was able to produce the short film, Futurum with just a few hundred dollars, which premiered at the 24th St. George Guerrilla Film Festival and despite the cold, hard winds, and rain, the team completed a fun little teaser short film available on the crowdfunding website.
So with the completion of this short film we were confident and excited to endeavor to make a feature film: Futurum X. It’s kinda like Star Wars meets Mad Max meets the Time Travler meets Zena. So there’s a lot of excitement, drama, action, plot, and beautiful visuals as they shoot this in the amazing Salt Lake City valley, the salt flats, Black Rock, and the awesome little Sahara Desert right here in the backyard in the Great State of Utah.  

Forget the hype. See the past as the future by experiencing the movie’s revelation of the past’s future. The truth will unfold as Futurum X: The Future is Yesterday!
Fund this project now, before the future returns.
