SmartKage Promotional Video

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/.

But SmartKage™had a problem. An issue that could become a variable in their testing causing the test to not truly be standardized was a students preparedness. If a student was not fully aware of how he was about to be tested he may be nervous or anxious, causing his performance to be impaired. To solve this problem, SmartKage™hired us to make a video that summarizes everything a student will do when he is tested. The video is a detailed step by step instruction of every station that must be completed to take the test. The hope is that by watching this video, a student will understand what is asked of him and he will be more prepared and less anxious, allowing him to preform at the maximum potential.

To show the wide variety of age groups that can use the facility, we had four athletes from four different age groups act in our video. It was a lot of fun working with these kids and they were talented actors as well as players.



After completing this video we decided that with only a little more coverage we could also make a promotional video. We were already in Boston, MA so we discussed the idea with SmartKage™and they agreed. SmartKage™plans on using the promo video to inform investors about what SmartKage™is all about.

The Price of Dying

One of our favorite things to do is write and produce short films - as long as we've had access to cameras, we've been producing movies. We began in middle school with stop motion animation and LEGO® Studios and gradually moved up to live action videos as we gained experience writing, directing, and editing music videos, action shorts, and documentary film.

Check out this short:

The Price of Dying

As Jimmy tries to console Katie over the death of her husband, you quickly discover that there is more to the story than may be apparent. Watch it a couple times and try to figure out what prompts Katie to act the way she does. If you can accurately explain the story, let us know for a discount on your next P5P purchase!

P5P Intro Video

With our new company that, for the moment, is focusing on sports related videos, we wanted to have a video that could advertise us. We wanted to make a promotional video for ourselves but we did not think it was necessary to be informative. By showing lots of different sports in an intense and quick action montage we were able to say what we were about while keeping it interesting. The athletes seen in this video range from professional athletes to amateur sports enthusiasts and everywhere in between.
