Remember Jarred Foresman of Blacksburg Media, whom I dubbed Digital Media Production Rock Star?  In association with Blue Ocean Marketing and Consulting, he did the video production work on New River Valley of Virginia and VT KnowledgeWorks Entrepreneurship Summit.

I am absolutely delighted to announce that we have contracted with Blacksburg Media to create a video for Handshake 2.0.  I met with Jarred, explained what I wanted, and got a secret link to a YouTube video with rough footage - called "concept" footage - with a demo of effects and ideas.  I was enchanted. Handshake.  Check mailed.

My original idea was to ask Jarred if I could share the concept videos as the project progressed, but now I'm enjoyiing the building drama and want to reveal the final version for you at the launch, planned for the first of December.

I do have Jarred's permission to share a few excerpts from screenshots of the first concept video.  He's pictured above from a cool black and white sequence.  And this just made me laugh and I had to share it.

Can you tell what the video will be about?!
