Tell The Full Story With Historical Video Archives In Your Production


Videos are supposed to be interesting enough to view. One of the best ways to create a professional, high quality piece is through the use of historical video archives. More websites and television production companies are making their video archives open to the video production community, which provides you with more benefits.
When you utilize sports video clips, you can take a new angle with the story of your video production. For instance, sports clips can provide an overview of a player's career from his beginnings all the way through his current position. By providing an actual clip of something that happened in the past, it can eliminate a lot of interviews and journalistic aspects to a video that often is ignored by the audience.
You want to make sure that your video production is a success. You're spending a lot of time and a lot of money to produce a great product. This means you need to use all of the various tools you have available to you.
By accessing sports video clips, you're able to use it as a reference tool to enhance your production. Being able to use a real clip instead of recreating it or talking about it means it can be inserted into your production which makes for a much better presentation of the information. Audiences will appreciate the smooth flow and transition, and you can tell a complete story in the most effective way possible.
Video production companies are popping up everywhere across the nation. You need to ensure you are remaining competitive. Since there is so much technology available today, finding ways to stand out from all the other companies becomes imperative. Otherwise you will fail while the others are using the tools that are available to them.
With new media outlets like YouTube and other websites, getting exposure for your video is easier than ever. Regardless of where your story will end up, it needs to be enticing. A viewer needs to be drawn into the presentation and care about what is being presented. When you include facts and history, there are easier ways to do that then to just have someone talking about it.
You can find all the historical video archives available for download online. Various sports clips can be selected, downloaded and added to a video production within minutes. This means you can have that slick, professional look you want. It also presents your audience with something more exciting to watch. It's one of the best ways to tell your story and stay competitive amongst your peers in the industry.

ObamaTax: A Silver Lining

Now that SCOTUS has affirmed that we must pay higher taxes, while placing our health care in the hands of unelected and unaccountable Death Panels, it's helpful to know that there are alternatives.

Since we'll now be seeing fewer medical innovations, what can folks do if (when?) they need health care and can no longer find it (or are denied outright)?




Of course, HSA-compliant plans will be phased out as ObamaTax is fully implemented, and it's unclear how the accounts themselves will fare down the road. But for now, it's up, up and away!

SCOTUS Postmortem

SCOTUS has spoken on Obamacare. What follows is a series of links and excerpts on today's news.  

First, the 193 page opinion from the Court.

It's not a mandate if it is a tax.

Potential impact on the fall elections.

What does this mean for you?

Erick Erickson's initial shot across the bow. If you are opposed to Obamacare, read this VERY carefully.

If you share Erick's views, today's SCOTUS opinion may have just opened the door for eliminating Obamacare this fall.

Read My Lips

PLENTY of new taxes.

The folks at American's for Tax Reform have this to say about Obamacare and SCOTUS.
On the eve of the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare, taxpayers are reminded that the President’s healthcare law is one of the largest tax increases in American history.
Obamacare contains 20 new or higher taxes on American families and small businesses. On Thursday, Americans for Tax Reform will do a full analysis of the tax implications of the Court’s decision.
Arranged by their respective effective dates, below is the total list of all $500 billion-plus in tax hikes (over the next ten years) in Obamacare, where to find them in the bill, and how much your taxes are scheduled to go up as of today
Click here for the rest of the story...

So the question is, if Obamacare is repealed, either by SCOTUS or next year's president/congress, what happens to ALL THOSE TAXES?

Something else to ponder...

Although we've had an unofficial moratorium on predicting tomorrow's SCOTUS decision re: ObamneyCare©, it's worth noting that the [Evil] Individual Mandate and the Exchanges aren't the only issues to be decided:

" [T]here are some major health-insurance regulations besides community rating and guaranteed issue ... Medicaid expansion"

Although the CornHusker "dodge" was withdrawn, the very real financial (and legal) issues that accrue to the expansion (at state cost!) to Medicaid are very real.

Money is money.
