Press Release: First2Fast Video Produced by Metro

A new YouTube video, produced and contributed by Metro Productions for the City of Hampton, is the latest way that Hampton is bringing attention to its bid to get Google fiber to the area. The new video, entitled “The Best Minds Are on It,” can be viewed on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APk5GmIjQhs, or at http://www.first2fast.com/.

Metro Productions scripted and created the video for the City of Hampton, utilizing its studio, facilities, producers, and crew to help illustrate Hampton’s message to Google. Metro strives to be a valuable part of our communities in Hampton Roads, Richmond, and Northern Virginia, and was honored to be asked to be a part of the City of Hampton’s campaign.

Hampton plans to have over 2,000 Facebook fans of the effort, and believes the video is important for promoting support in the community. Citizens are encouraged to show their support by visiting http://www.first2fast.com/ to become a Facebook fan, view the new video on YouTube, and answer the question, “What would you do with unlimited bandwith?”
Hampton submitted its application for Google Fiber last week, and is anticipating that support from the area will help them to win the bid.

New Equipment!

Metro added a new SteadiCam system to our collection of equipment this week, and we're really excited about it! Mike, Ryan, and the crew have been testing it in the office all week, and the results have been impressive. The shots are smooth, professional, and they can move around in ways and places they couldn't even attempt before. Looking forward to using it in a shoot next week!
