CORPORATE VIDEO FILMMAKER: THOMAS R. CLIFFORD
I am an award-winning corporate video documentary filmmaker. My films are like having your own PBS show...on caffeine (they kick!)
My blog is dedicated to inspire people in sales, marketing and communications to produce their most innovative and remarkable corporate video possible.
Corporate videos have a long history of being boring...to that end, I have spent 23 years defying "traditional" looking corporate videos.
During this time, I've produced corporate videos for:
Deloitte, Honeywell, Lincoln Financial, VBrick, UCONN, Loctite, The Epilepsy Foundation, The Hartford Financial Services Group, Timex, non-profits and many other remarkable companies.
Check out my lens on Corporate Videos & Remarkable Storytelling.
Personal stories are the "Dna code" for an organization.
Crack the code. Discover the story. Find the heart. Create the brand.
Igniting conversations through remarkable corporate videos and emotional stories creates productive action. (That's cool.)
The story continues here.
CORPORTE EPILEPSY VIDEOS WINS THREE 2007 TELLY AWARDS!
About my Epilepsy Foundation corporate videos.
My two current films for the Epilepsy Foundation have each received awards."Take Charge of the Facts: Seizures & You" won a Telly Award and an Ad Club of Connecticut Gold Award.
The documentary "Out of the Shadows" won two Telly Awards.
These videos will be distributed to many public schools throughout the United States.
I truly hope these films will help stop misperceptions people have towards those with epilepsy. These videos create a new reality of understanding with those who we perceive are different from us.
There were over 15,000 entries this year in the Telly Awards, so competition was stiff.
AWARD-WINNING EPILEPSY CORPORATE VIDEOS
Corporate videos can be life-changing.
These videos have changed many lives...
Hope you enjoy these remarkable videos!

Many say my corporate videos are like PBS on caffeine!
My corporate videos are for "smart people;" that's the "PBS" part. They make you think. They are SMART.My videos also "kick;" that's the "caffeine" part. They wake you up. They have ENERGY.
I combine the SMART and the KICK to create a very "signature-style" corporate video for every client.

DOES YOUR CORPORATE VIDEO HAVE "eMOTION?"
Emotional...Engaging...Energetic. Remarkable corporate video qualities.
I tell clients their story is emotionally-based; not electronically-based.When sitting with a customer, we get to the heart of their story which turns out be...guess what? The people and their stories!
And those stories are emotional, engaging and energetic. So I pack my corporate videos with just that. I call it..."eMotion."

With such a wide range of talents and skills, all 'documented' on the web, its a real challenge to put them all together in an interesting and compelling way, but you have done so! Astonishing glimpses of what inspires you, too, and to make use of it in a 'corporate' setting? Great job. Really!

TOM'S CORPORATE VIDEOS ARE LIKE...
What others say my corporate videos are like.
Tom's films are like:Walter Cronkite meets Chiat Day.
Running the rapids dressed for dinner.
Winning a football game in a snow storm.
Sky- diving while talking to an old friend on your cell phone.
A commercial message from Hollywood using non-union talent.
Tom drills down deep to get core information. It's kind of like mining for diamonds- the job is not done until they are cut perfectly- Tom is not content with the story until it flashes in the light.
Tom is like an investigative reporter that creates and produces films for business and industry that could air on PBS.
