Featured Client: AFR & Amazon Alexa

We often do a lot of unique video production projects that are utilized by companies internally.

We recently worked with AFR, American Financial Resources, to create a video that would showcase their new Loan Center technology and integration with Amazon’s Alexa.

AFR’s aim with this video is to demonstrate the Alexa integration, and show the solutions that can help streamline the loan process for brokers.  Check out some shots from the video production and final video, and watch the video below.

This Video Production’s Creative

video production

The Creative often refers to the scripting, concepting, storyboarding, and basically all of the plans and elements that are leveraged in creating the visuals that will communicate a message. The message is strategically designed to resonate with viewers and produce results.

In this video production, the story being told within the video is a “day in the life” look at the person who benefits from using this technology: a broker with a busy schedule, ideally one who embraces technology to make his or her life easier.

In this way, this video serves as a product or service demo video. Also, when hosted on a landing pages that provide more information and direct viewers forward to using the integration, it can help to successfully drive conversions.

About The Author

Mark Serao

Brands Mark Has Worked With

Mark’s love and passion for photography started at a very young age. His father had built a darkroom in the basement of their house and for a young Mark, the spark was ignited. He saw the magic of watching a simple piece of photo paper transform into an image right in front of his eyes and he was hooked. Right then and there he decided he needed to be involved in that creative world somehow. Not knowing exactly where or how to break into the industry after graduating William Paterson University of New Jersey, Mark felt the best approach would be to start his own production company.

Professionally, Mark has spent the last 20+ years as a co-founder of Grey Sky Films and has directed thousands of videos. He feels lucky to have had the privilege to work with agencies and clients such as Entennmann’s, Chimay, Global Beer Network, Gatorade, Propel, HTC, LG, Prudential, SONY, Optimum, Ashley Furniture, Post Foods, D’Artagnan, PSE&G and so many more.

Mark’s work has taken him around the world to so many awe-inspiring places and has placed him in every situation imaginable.
