Free Opt-In for Weekday Jobs Representing $5-$10 Million Set to Kick Off at WEVA EXPO 2006
July 14, 2006
Sarasota, FL - With beta testing of their revolutionary IT system “StreamLocal” now successfully completed, ImageSpan, a worldwide automated rights management company, is set to begin free opt-in registration next month at the WEVA 16th Annual Wedding & Event Video Expo for the first wave of national ad agency orders for video shoots.
As reported earlier on WEVA Industry News, the new job orders represent an initial $5-$10 million to the WEVA membership nationwide.
“A number of paid shoots through the WEVA/ImageSpan ‘Project StreamLocal’ system in limited geographical areas will be completed before WEVA EXPO 2006,” stated Dan Argenas WEVA International's Director of Association Communications. “The Global Power Launch is set for EXPO.”
The Grand Opening of the all new WEVA National Job Registry, available to WEVA International members only, will be held at WEVA EXPO 2006. Registration will be conducted during the Trade Show hours. “There is no cost to opt-in for the new weekday job assignments," said Argenas.
"The shoots for this initial roll-out of the Project Launch will be distributed on a priority basis to WEVA members who opt-in at WEVA EXPO 2006. The EXPO is where members will be able to attend IT system orientation sessions to learn how to upload their video content and be involved with a hands-on demonstration on how to receive their job orders, shoot and complete the assignments, and receive payment for each job all online.
“ImageSpan’s 'StreamLocal' system is very user-friendly. The entire process, from uploading job footage to receiving payment, can be completed in less than 20 minutes at a computer,” said Argenas.
“An agency job order, for example, might be an assignment to shoot brief exterior and interior shots of a local auto dealership, which can be completed in just a few hours or less during a weekday. No editing would be required. Job assignments are very shot-specific so that the shots can be meta-tagged by the IT system, and then added for local identification to pre-built national advertising spots," Argenas related.
"With StreamLocal in place,” said ImageSpan CEO Iain Scholnick, “we have the unique ability to provide a flexible, local and national advertising network that addresses the need for brand-consistent and localized advertising content in a seamless and easy-to-use platform. We are very pleased to be partnering with WEVA in this new venture as we have witnessed first hand their members’ dedication to providing a professional video product.”
