New Website


Our web development team has been working furiously for the past couple weeks to produce a brand new, made-from-scratch website to provide users with a beautiful and sleek way to watch our videos and get to know us. Going into this new design, we had a few main goals we sought to accomplish:
  1. Impress - we want anyone who stumbles across the site to be blown away both visually, and with our credibility. As a video company, we want to use video in all aspects of the site, to show potential customers and business partners what we can do.
  2. Inform - we want to provide not simply beautiful images and videos, but concrete information about who we are and what we can offer.
  3. Engage (so it doesn't start with 'I', but it sounds pretty close..) - we want to find people with video needs and work with them to develop the optimal solution.
So check out the site and let us know what you think - what can we do better? What would you want to see?

SmartKage Instructional Videos

We just completed filming and editing 45 Baseball Instructional Videos with Mike Roberts for SmartSports' new SmartKage™technology.

SmartKage™is a system that measures a baseball player's skill level in many areas, including fielding, hitting, pitching, base running, and much more. The system provides quantitative feedback to help players learn strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to see how they stack up against the rest of the nation. It's the SAT® for baseball. Learn more at http://smartkage.com/.

SmartKage™ is designed not just to provide players with these metrics, but also avenues for strengthening weaker skills and learning drills to improve in each area of the game. That's where we come in. Point-5 has produced 45 short videos for SmartKage™, each providing practical steps and insight to approach a weaker skill. If a player is tested at SmartKage™they will receive an evaluation showing their areas of strengths and weaknesses. They will then be able to access these videos to help them improve their game. Each instructional video is taught by our very own, Mike Roberts. In quick 1-2 minute lessons Roberts gives you many different ways to improve every area of your game.
