Featured Corporate Communication Videos:
Magnet Nursing
VCU Health System has been given the rare designation of being a Magnet Hospital, making it one of the top hospitals in the country in Nursing Care and Competence.Joe Kuttenkuer, Melissa Gordon and Eric prepared this video commemorating this extraordinary distinction.
St. Mary’s Hospital 40th Anniversary
It was a great honor to produce the 40th Anniversary Celebration video of St. Mary’s Hospital. Aside from being the place where my daughter Sophia was born in 2004, St. Mary’s mission as part of the Sisters of Bon Secours to provide community-style quality care to the community in an era of corporate health care is quite impressive.
The video features a group of Sisters who have served St. Mary’s throughout its history. These extraordinary women are Doctors, Nurses, Administrators and Executives and they have all dedicated their lives to caring for sick and injured patients, new mothers and people of low income.
Landmark Communications
EAF won a region-wide bidding process to help Landmark Communications, owners of the Weather Channel, two TV stations and dozens of newspapers across the country formally introduce itself it population of associates spread across the country.
The multi-billion dollar Media company is the parent of Norfolk’s Virginian Pilot and has a history that rich is rags to riches entrepreneurship, bravely fighting off racism in the Jim Crow south, and leading the country today in blending high technology with the highest of ethical standards.
Eric was honored to spend time with both Frank Batten, Sr. and Frank Batten, Jr., who has, over the last 5 years moved Landmark smoothly and successfully into the 21st century. Frank Sr. turned the company he inherited from his uncle and guardian Samuel Slover and created a media giant through extraordinary innovation. Mr. Batten’s dedication to applying only most stringent ethical standards is legendary in American business and that comes across quite clearly in the video.
This is Landmark is being distributed across the country this year and will be used to help orient new associates.
Virginia Commonwealth University — Recruiting
Eric Futterman was hired by Virginia Commonwealth University's School of Nursing to write, produce and direct a dynamic recruitment video for the V.C.U. School of Nursing. This piece was sent across the country to showcase the extraordinary hands-on educational experience provided by the School of Nursing and encourages people of all ages and professions to explore the profession.
Joe Kuttenkuler of V.C.U. News Services shot and edited the piece on Media 100. Dave Gau, owner of Shave FX Animations created the title page and biographical elements. Glen Piegari provided expert sound, which was vital in that much of the footage was shot on the run at VCU Medical Center Hospitals. Virginia Commonwealth University's growing stature across the country as an institution of academic excellence, medical breakthroughs and scientific research is a source of pride; since I'm a graduate of the University.
So it was a real thrill to produce the VCU New Hire Orientation video that will be shown to all new VCU employees. The video tells the story of VCU's creation, where the University is headed in the future and explains the Benefits Package.
Joe Kuttenkuler of VCU News Services shot all of this and left me no shortage of great images with which to edit. Mike Koplin provided lighting and grip work on the New Hire Orientation
