BJC directed and shot the online content for the USPS's new Priority Mail Flat Rate Shipping website, www.PriorityMail.com. In these segments, Al, the USPS Flat Rate Shipping spokesman, walks Internet users through the simple steps of signing up to receive their free shipping kit. One of the great things about working with this client was that BJC was allowed to inject some humor into the production, which you can see in the "idle messages" section of this compilation clip.
A snippet from a longer promotional package created for Stried Painting, a corporate interior/exterior painting company based in Grayslake, Illinois. This video was part of a series that was used at trade shows (video played at their booth to attract customers) as well as featured on their website.
The Cash Coupon is your one-stop shop for all things coupons in the Milwaukee and northern Illinois area. This video, part of a series BJC did for www.TheCashCoupon.com, has both clients and employees of the dot com discuss the value of advertising with The Cash Coupon. Done in a simple, yet clean and professional way, this is a great example of a light-hearted video that breathes a little bit of life and energy into a business.
www.WatchandTrain.com is an e-commerce website where the commodity being sold is literally the content of the site itself. As such, Jeff Millman (one of Chicago's premiere dog trainers) knew he needed exceptionally high production value and a crew familiar with multiple-camera shooting. We discussed Jeff's wants and needs during pre-production to make certain Bitter Jester created content for his website that matched his expectations. In the end, Jeff said "I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Bitter Jester team. I could not have found a more intelligent, hard-working, creative team - anywhere. They constantly amazed me with their attention to detail, their work ethic and their ability to understand not only the technical and creative details of the filming, but their business acumen and understanding of how to appeal to a target audience and to create a compelling and entertaining product."
This video for The Cash Coupon (an online coupon book) features "Members" talking about the features and benefits of the online coupon services. Members can earn money as they attract new users, advertisers, and members to the site. As with all videos, the key to "selling" is having a great cast of characters - The Cash Coupon did a great job of getting qualified and camera-friendly people who weren't afraid to talk passionately about what they believed in.
