What is Content?

content noun [U] (SUBJECT) the subject or ideas contained in
something written, said, created, or represented

Collectively, the creative content on this site is multimedia. It is the combination of various popular mediums that creatives use to deliver a message, promote a product, or highlight a portfolio of sorts.

Multimedia is the main dish that defines what you’re all about. It controls the narrative. It supersedes everything. Great digital content like multimedia puts the zing in readability and traffic retention. Multimedia catches your attention, unlike simple text.

If YouTube is your preferred portal you’ve come to the right place. Below are productions that have found a home on YouTube.

Millions of Views

Here’s an interesting fact: After producing Four Wheeler TV for five seasons for the Outdoor Channel we had filmed more than 60 half-hour non-scripted episodes, all revolving around national automotive magazines.

Now the series lives on YouTube, and on Discovery+. All these years later it continues to earn revenue through advertising long after the original cable TV air date. It enjoys millions of views, too.

Thanks to its high quality editing and camera work the original show found a new audience online.

Smaller Budgets

You don’t have to run a full production to enjoy the benefits of video content for online or offline use.

The fact is many of the clips and trailers we produced were filmed on a small, or even micro budget. There are 1 and 2 minute YouTube clips that attract thousands of views. Some of the most popular YouTube video are micro-budget how-to subjects. These educate and teach viewers, and don’t necessarily market to them. Rather, they fill a niche that help you stand out from the crowd on YouTube.

To be relevant online YouTube encourages using high quality video and editing, not shaky phone video with poor audio. Understanding the fundamentals of video production goes a long way in capturing the interest of varied audiences around the world.

We can send you links to other small and micro-budget clips we’ve produced by request.

The concept for this full-length video project was directed at highly trained sporting dogs and their owners. Produced with actor Tony Becker in San Diego, CA. Edited and produced by Mainhouse Creative with filmmaker Benjamin Bertsch.

In the fall of 2024 we edited a unique promotional video for an exhibitor at the Las Vegas SEMA Show. DS Media LLC requested two days of shooting followed by 7 days of editing in post. What came from that was a 4:25 minute 1920×1080i MP4 promo for Topdownauto.com, which played on a 65-inch high def monitor in their booth.
