Sandbox: An Idea to Launch Company
3, 2, 1 Launch Bootcamp:
The production for this video was created in house (it’s one of the services they offer) but it was very important, in this case to use real people vs. actors or “moving scenery” who were involved in the program to give it a truly authentic feel.

"Fashion’s Night Out"
Hipstripes is a fun new line of underwear for men and women, & just launched this summer. HipStripes knew they wanted to do something special and splashy for Fashion Week in New York City in September, & with the goal of getting some exposure and making a great promotional video out of it too. They decided to rent a pedi-cab (bicycle rickshaw), pack it with models, and tour down the avenues of NYC hitting the hot-spots of “Fashion’s Night Out.” Not only did they have a great time and produce this great video, but three major daily papers picked up the story of Hipstripes taking it to the streets for Fashion Week.

The Flip Side shot and edited a video for pediatric dentist Dr. Lee Weinstein of Scottsdale. He is the dental director of Arizona’s Medicaid program and he said, "I am a pediatric dentist practicing in the Phoenix area and we created a video to introduce our patients to our office. This video absolutely worked in doing so! The video was created by *The Flip Side* and was done amazingly well. It was a twist on the usual humdrum approach to physician and dental office videos. It gave us a unique twist on things and the feedback has been great. Our patients have been commenting on this video since we placed it on our website and have all commented on how they got a real feel for the office and myself. I think it was a huge success. If you don’t have a video on your website, you are behind the times.”

There were several reasons this video was created. One, Privia needed an easy way to provide a high-level overview of their solution. Rather than create an online demo of the product that focused on screenshots and clicking around in the actual software solution. So instead, they decided to do something that was short, fun and to the point. It quickly explains what they do and encourages someone looking for their type of solution (proposal management software) to learn more. Privia had a lot of positive feedback and nearly 700 views of the video since they launched it in mid-September. The response from their audience at events has been strong, and they said it will usually make someone walking past to actually stop to watch. About 75% of those that stop to watch it come over and engage with the company.
