SCOTTS VALLEY, CA--The one-minute commercial made its debut at a construction industry trade show and to kick-off a luncheon presentation made by SelectBuild CEO, Mike Mahre. The video was part of the launch of SelectBuild, the first integration construction services company, providing services to the home building industry. The creative, developed by Shennum Green Art Director, Jeanne Ryan, was brought to the screen by Tam's Director/Cameraman/Editor, Tam O'Connor Fraser.

The video opens with a time-lapse sunrise sequence shot on location at one of Select Build's projects in Fairfield, California. Tam captured the sequence on DV. This transitions to a series of stills showing SelectBuild employees at work and then into a welcome by Mike Mahre, explaining the mission of SelectBuild. An AfterEffects-based animation sequence, featuring a series of company logos, illustrates the many different companies that have come together to form SelectBuild. Tam's digital media associate, David Trounstine, developed the animation, which was then added to the final video by Tam in the company's digital edit suite.

After the trade show, the video was formatted for the company's web site. You can view the presentation at www.selectbuild.com. The video can be accessed from a link at the bottom of the screen.
