Group Dudes Launches Their New Web Video Produced by Top Advertising Agency Creative Bube Tube

(PRWEB) October 06, 2011

Group Dudes goal is to provide guys with cool deals and savings on things like; cars, sports, food, bars and tech. Not only that, Group Dudes has done deals with such companies as; the Toronto Maple Leafs, Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto FC, Toronto Argos, Toronto Marlies, Budweiser, Boston Pizza, Licks and The Hockey News. Group Dudes realized the opportunity in the growing coupon market, and quickly snatched up the “Dudes only” audience. Group Dudes turned to top Advertising Agency, Creative Bube Tube to produce an exhilarating commercial that would be more informative and promotional for their customers. The 30-second commercial was mostly produced in postproduction and followed a very structured procedure.

Once the script and storyboard were finalized, the live action portion of the commercial was filmed in a Toronto studio in front of a green screen. A green screen allows the object in front of it (in this case 2 male actors) to be placed anywhere, and on any background. After production, the live action footage was then passed onto the top Advertising Agency’s postproduction department where all of the magic happened. First, the postproduction team created rough animatics to ensure that pacing and the selected camera angles were all feasible with the project. From there the 2D and 3D animations were added in using After Effects and Cinema 4D to create a pile of sports equipment and other various “manly” things. After completion of the animations, the skilled postproduction team added lighting and texture passes and then comped it all together. Compiling is the act of taking each various aspect of a commercial and combining it to create a finished product. Finally, the postproduction team did the full quality of animation and then added in the sound design. Sound design is the process of creating all of the sound effects, for example if an object falls from the top of the screen and smashes into the ground, the editor doing sound design would be responsible for finding the appropriate sound, timing the sound of the crash and the animation of the broken tiles flying everywhere. Once the finished product is all polished it is ready to be sent to air. “It was a great project to work on, we had a lot of creative freedom which made it enjoyable for us,” said Motion and Graphic Designer, Jason Tennant.

The top Advertising Agency also handled the media buying and planning for Group Dudes and placed their 30-second commercial on TSN, which is a highly targeted channel for their target market. “We had 75 subscribers within the first few minutes of the ad airing,” said Director of Services and Technology for Group Dudes, Chad Mitchell, “we were amazed at how quick the results were!”

About Group Dudes:

Group Dudes is essentially an online coupon company that targets a male demographic. Their goal is to connect their male consumers with deals on cool things such as food fare, scuba diving lessons, tickets to sporting events, skydiving and much more.

The Vitec Group’s Imaging Division Launches Nine eCommerce-Enabled Sites with Shopatron

San Luis Obispo, CA (Vocus) September 9, 2010

The Vitec Group’s Imaging Division has launched eight regional and a global website for its Manfrotto brand. Manfrotto is the worldwide leader in manufacturing camera and lighting supports for the photographic, motion picture, broadcast and entertainment industries.

The Vitec Group’s Imaging & Staging Division, headquartered in Italy, has a strong reputation among two main groups of creative professionals: photographers and videographers, whether they are shooting commercially, independently or for pleasure; and live and corporate event production and touring bands, who need versatile trussing and staging sets.

Due to ongoing customer demand, Vitec Group Imaging Division decided to take sales of their brands online, and chose Shopatron as the technology partner for the online marketing and sales initiative, nicknamed “ePresence.” The initial launch of the Manfrotto brand will include a global website at http://www.manfrotto.com and nine regional sites in the US, UK, Italy, France, Germany, China, Japan and Hong Kong.

Shopatron is responsible for all design, implementation and ongoing operation of the websites. Two of the sites, http://www.manfrotto.us and http://www.manfrotto.co.uk, will offer online sales immediately. Through the Coex Freedom order exchange, the Shopatron system will assign each online order from these websites to a local, authorized retailer with the selected products in stock. The French and German websites will also launch eCommerce this year.

The launch of the Manfrotto brand is just the beginning of the ePresence initiative. The complete project will ultimately launch all Vitec Group Imaging Division manufactured and distributed Brands, encompassing more than 80 websites. The Gitzo brand implementation is scheduled to begin immediately following the launch of Manfrotto.

“This is a huge undertaking for us, and there were a lot of factors to consider when we started to look at outsourcing the project,” said Carlo Alberto Cuman, Web Director of Vitec Group Imaging Division. “We chose Shopatron for several reasons. Their ability to integrate our retailers into the eCommerce process was a key factor for us. We wanted our website to support our valued partners. Additionally, having all of our sites built with the onBlocks platform gives us the ability to directly manage content. With the significant scope of our project, Shopatron’s experience with multiple languages and currencies was also critical for our decision.”

“It is not every day we get a chance to work on such a significant, coordinated, multi-national implementation,” added Brian Clausen, SVP of eCommerce Strategy at Shopatron. “An initiative like this uses a majority of the features from our platform, including retail-integration, international capabilities, customer support, fraud management, online marketing and in-store pickup.”

After the launch of Monfrotto and Gitzo, Vitec Group Imaging Division plans to launch the following brands: Kata, National Geographic bags & supports, Avenger, Elinchrom, Lastolite, Litepanels, Genus.

The Vitec Group

Vitec is an international group principally serving customers in the media sector with products and services for the broadcast, photographic and entertainment industries. Listed on the London Stock Exchange with 2008 revenue of £338 million, Vitec is based on strong, well known premium brands on which professionals and keen amateurs worldwide rely.

The Vitec Group, founded in the UK, has expanded worldwide, taking superb products to new markets and developing new markets for superb products.

In an era of global news and events, of instant information and image sharing, we offer both feet on the ground and a global standard of quality and service.

InvestorIdeas.com Launches New Investor and Industry Portal CoalSectorStocks.com Following Coal Stocks and Growth in the Coal Industry

POINT ROBERTS, WA (PRWEB) February 25, 2006

http://www.CoalSectorStocks.com, a global investor and industry news portal for coal sector stocks, (a portal within the http://www.InvestorIdeas.com umbrella of investor portals) is pleased to offer interested investors a new resource tool for researching the sector. During the past twenty years, the coal market has developed rapidly and according to data from the US National Mining Association, coal production is anticipated to reach 1.16 billion tons, 3.2 percent higher than 2005. The demand and growth due to rising energy prices has created new interest in coal stocks and investing in the sector.    

China is a major factor in the global coal market with the majority of China’s energy production still generated from coal. China is currently the world’s leading coal producing country, producing 2.11 billion tons of coal in 2005. In addition to energy generation, certain types of coal are also essential to the production of steel – this application is also a significant factor in the expansion of China’s coal market. Puda Coal, Inc. (OYCBB: PUDC), a Chinese coking coal producer and Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited (NYSE:YZC), provide insight into the critical driving forces behind this particular sector (Also visit our China-Asia portal http://www.China-AsiaStocks.com for recent articles on the coal and steel industries).

As China continues to expand its infrastructure, demand for coal is on the rise globally and within China. Chinese coking coal producer Puda Coal is benefiting from domestic construction’s need for steel, which has increased 25% in the first seven months of 2005. “Driving the demand for coking coal is the mass construction of infrastructure projects that require the use of large amounts of steel, and coking coal is essential in making coke, which is largely used in the steel making process,” explains Puda Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Zhao Ming. “We are now very well positioned to capture the intense demand for the high grade coking coal helping fuel China’s industrial revolution.”

Yanzhou Coal Mining Company Limited also shows great confidence in the coal market. According to a company representative, ”China’s coal consumption will continue to grow. A major driving factor is China’s high economic growth, which drives the demand for coal. In 2006, it is expected that coal consumption in China will reach 2.17billion short tons, an increase of 0.13 billion short tons from 2005.”

Featured Company Puda Coal, Inc.: (CSS and CAS are compensated by Puda Coal as disclosed in disclaimer.)

Puda Coal, Inc. (OTCBB: PUDC) through its affiliates and controlled entities, supplies premium grade coking coal to the steel making industry for use in making coke. The Company currently produces 1.5 million metric tons of cleaned coking coal annually, and management believes it is one of the largest suppliers of top grade coking coal in the Shanxi province of China. Shanxi province provides 20-25% of China’s coal output and supplies nearly 50% of China’s coke. http://www.Puda-Coal.com
