Thumbs Up
Production invites you to watch a trainer morph into
a horse, see a space ship shoot out a sale horse's
name from its rocket booster, see an impressionistic
painting become a trotting horse and then turn back
to a painting, and many other delights designed to
keep the viewer/buyer glued to the DVD. As seen in
the demo, some of the footage shot by others was
poor in quality, yet Bette was able to enhance it
enough with filters, etc, to make it useable. Until
snatched up by Hollywood, Bette is getting out her
creative urges through her horse DVDs/videos so take
advantage of her very talented skills as a film maker.
Her film Against All Odds, about her horse that refused
to give up, has been shown on DirecTV several times
and is still airing on Dish Network. Bette was also
hired as a screenwriter on the Fargo TV series.
So does she
charge exhorbitant prices for her work? Emphatically "No!" Bette
is aware that the horse market does not support Hollywood
productions, yet she spends hours making them look "Oscar" quality.
She prefers to work in the Santa Barbara/SLO/Paso
Robles areas close to her first loves (I believe
myself, as her husband, to be a close second!) so
that she can get off the computer and onto her saddle!
She's a horsewoman first and foremost and knows what
buyers and trainers are looking for in a sales/stallion
presentation/farm DVD. Her DVDs are within budgets
yet eye catching and unique! We are horse people
and put our efforts into producing quality DVDs/videos
which showcase the horse's beauty, conformation and
movement. Our dramatic music and wonderful transitions
are enhancements and are not intended to replace
good footage that shows the strengths of the horse.
It has taken many years and much practice not to
resemble "NYPD" shaky hand held footage.
We are steady and can follow the horse's movement
with or without the use of our floating head tripod.
We have recently
branched out from our successful horse video/DVD
and web site enterprise and begun production of family
albums which consist of family footage artistically
edited and combined with music and beautiful transitions
to produce a "living" memory. We have also
recently produced a new type of video/DVD for a friend
who wished to create a memento for his family so
they would have his essence on film for his children
and grandchildren and subsequent generations. He
entitled it "The Last Word" and wants it
to be played at his funeral. It is such a novel yet
heart warming concept that we have decided to offer
this type of video to others who have the same wish
to say their goodbye's prior to their passing. The
cost would depend on how many memories you wanted
to document (and how long you want the funeral to
last!) As you can see, we thread humor frequently
into our web site work and create productions that
will catch people's attention. My stallion video
has been known to create a lump in peoples throat
as they watch the short memorial to my current stallion's
sire at the end of his DVD and then watch his sire
morph into the son, to show that the quality has
been passed on. Any time you can generate emotion
in a sales video/DVD, that is a success, as people
will remember you. We can work with the different
formats available to insure that your DVD is playable
by your audience or produce a video CD which is playable
in all computers. Of course, we have found that most
people like to enjoy a sales or stallion DVD on the
big screen, in the comfort of their living room,
sitting in an easy chair.

On a different
note, we have done productions for corporations
and attorneys, as well as small businesses. For
example, the format of this Thumbs Up web site
is more formal than the family and ranch ones we've
created and lends more to a business or a web site
belonging to a professional or entrepreneur. Below
is a small sampling of these other types of web
sites we have created and maintained.
