New Projects for Target Stores, Accenture and SSIS

During the month of May, House films produced video projects for Target Stores, Accenture and Shanghai Singapore International School.

For Target, we shot and edited a 2 & 1/2 hours video that we then translated into both Mandarin Chinese and Korean and produced and authored a DVD with 2 subtitle options. In the process, we learned what a great company Target is. During our shoot, the earthquake in Sichuan happened and in less than 24 hours, Target pleged $500,000 to the earthquake relief effort. Target has no stores in China, but didn't hesitate to help.

We also worked with one of the great international consulting companies Accenture, interveiewing their president for an international video production.

At the end of the month, we started an HD production on a multi-day shoot for The Shanghai Singapore International School and had a lot of fun working with and spending time getting to know the students, teachers and staff from pre-school to 12th grade.

It's been a busy month, but we got to meet some great people and some great companies both international and local.
