David-Louis launch of TV Channel

Today I am working on the final tweaks of introducing video to my online side of the product design business David-Louis.com and am delighted to say with the support of my web designers at e-levation.net I have been able to go from concept to launch in a just three weeks. I don’t think in this post I will go in to the why’s and wherefores of the decision to launch a .TV site as opposed to using You Tube or embedded video on the site but just to say we looked at it from as many perspectives and went with www.david-louis.tv

At the moment there is an interview by Annette Naudin of the MA Media Enterprise with me which takes place in our shop in The Jewellery Quarter(I will have some photos of the shop very soon)  - I want to thank Annette and all at the Screen Media Lab for there help and interest in making this video.

Also, just to say I have conceptualised and commissioned the production of an animation featuring the David-Louis Fridge Magnet Bottle Opener which is due for launch in approx. 3 weeks. I can’t wait to launch the video on our .TV site and will keep y’all up to date on it.

    Hi David, great to see your video and hear you talking so consumately about your business and juggling work and study! Hopefully you’re better at mixing both than I am! Looking forward to seeing the (gasp!) product animation on your TV channel shortly.

    When the likes of YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler, Dailymotion and so on will all host your videos for free and have thousands, if not millions, of passing visitors why not put the videos up there as well? Put yourself where the people are and you never know who might stumble across your work.

    Just my 2p. I like the first vid, btw.

    Hi Chris, thanks for your thoughts. Ovet the last few weeks we have come to the same conclusion and have launched it on YouTube – here is the link to it.

    I have made a subtle change to the video / animation as well, now when you arrive on the video YouTube or http://www.david-louis.tv you get a screen shot instead of a blank screen.

    Have a look.

    I will put it up on the other sites too….. of course if you know any animators who want to get involved tell them to get in touch.
