Do you Youtube!?
First, I want to thank Susanna for lighting the fire on this! 
It is something I have thought about doing, was just waiting to get video footage, (means dig out the camera, charge the battery, make several trips to job site!). Never even thought of using stills, and I make movies and teach the kids how from stills all the time at school! 
Anywho, I did this real quick to get a feel for the process. I use Mac so it is very easy to create a QT Movie from IPhoto. I uploaded to YT and my blog.
Before I do the next one, I would like some feedback and constructive criticism from the gang.
I already know 2 things I want to change.
Next time I will increase size for better quality, I used smallest.
I need to title with name and url like Ken suggested.

Chris, it seems I am always playing catch-up wioth you on online techno stuff. Been talking about gettin a camcorder for a month now.
Like the video. Gives prospective clients a chance to see how you can change the feel of the home. It would be nice if you had a few other homes/jobs with different colors.
Not having a mac, what would a windows user use to create, edit and post something like that? (have plenty of pictures)

Hopefully one of the PC pros will chime in, I am not too familiar with PCs. I use the photo program in mac and create a Quicktime movie, I am sure there is a similar program. I have tons of pix!

It is in the "stock" library, called Acoustic Sunrise. I don't think it is Hometime. I used to watch that too, I saw Joanna? on a recent show, she looked old! Made me realize how old I am!
No comments, advice on the video? I did get those title pages on the website done!

Chris, it looks like you guys only paint one color (must save a bundle reusing the left over paint and buying it all in 5s though). Do you have any pics where you paint maybe a green or a blue? Right now by the time I get half way into it its like wait, everything they painted is that one color.

Chris, thanks to you for starting this thread. It got me exploring and I have started on a video. The answer for bikerboy is windows movie maker. Pretty simple to use, but time consuming.

That is the only color from the paint salvage place! 
The home in that video we did for a customer who was trying to sell it and it was very stark and white. I thought "Adding Warmth" would be a good topic for the blog and tried to take pics with that in mind. Good point about the sameness though, I see how I can send same message, using several projects!
Rob is actually very good at ordering paint, he did a house in a very remote area, 4 hours away and nailed it, with 21 colors!
My next one will be Accent Walls ok?!

You are welcome, i hope to see some more videos from others!
I think an industrial one would be great, I can see you showing safety "stuff".
Maybe a CD?

Here's one for PP. The music is a little cornball. Click the HQ button if you have a good internet connection.
Video will load in preview but not actual thread?

God I really must be a trouble maker  Really glad to see other people motivated to get their name out there.
Ewing...looks like a few more rounds of cigars
You guys are great...really helps to have a think tank and support from fellow painters.

I am glad to see others getting excited over the tech side, sometimes I think the guys get tired of hearing me go on about it! 
There are several good threads on websites and marketing that you might like.
Some just want to talk about paint, brushes, whose pole is better! 
Oh, this is a painter's forum!
I belong to a few other forums, but none have the combination of paint experience, technology, and member count as this one.
And none have the witty repartee and truthful insights you will find here!
OK, Back on topic!
