Brownell Photo & Video produces high definition videos which business owners use to promote their business, products or events. These videos are used on company websites, the business’s own YouTube channel and in social networking. The videos are played in stores and offices and used by the sales force in presentations on their laptops. DVD’s containing the videos are distributed by sales people or mailed to prospective clients.

Added Value: Simultaneous Photo and Video Shoots
Brownell Photo & Video not only shoots video footage but also takes still digital photos at most shoots, giving clients numerous options beyond video production. These still photos can be used for:

• Brochures
• Fliers
• Company newsletters
• Display photos at trade shows
• Company websites
• Postcards
• Business cards

The still photos are taken with Nikon digital cameras and lenses, producing high quality digital images that can be edited as needed and enlarged to substantial sizes.
Marlin Brownell has an eye for photography and videography that allows him to pre-plan and shoot footage needed to edit tight, compelling productions. He includes close-ups, shots of products, scene-setting shots, views of workers at work, etc. Photographically, Marlin is able to take excellent photos that “tell the story”.

Multi-Video Value
At Brownell Photo & Video, we are typically able to pre-plan video shoots to maximize the footage so that more than one video can be made from the shoot. Producing several shorter videos, each with a different subject matter or emphasis, multiplies the potential for people to see the videos. With careful planning, variations can be produced, adding only minimal editing time and therefore minimal cost for 2nd, 3rd, and subsequent video productions.

Annual Events
One of the best ways to promote yearly events is to use video footage and still photos of this year’s event for next year’s marketing. Many times people express how they wish they had a photo or a video clip of last year’s event to use in their upcoming publicity. We can shoot that footage and get those still photos of this year’s events for a reasonable cost, then edit them later when needed.

Training and Experience
Marlin Brownell’s education at the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse includes a minor in Photography, a minor in Audio-Visual Instruction, and a major in Communication. He worked at a CBS affiliate station, WKBT-TV, as a news department cameraman and later as a studio cameraman. He is also experienced in many other forms of photography.

High Definition 16:9 Coverage
Brownell Photo & Video provides affordable, professional videography to promote your business or event. You receive coverage with a digital ‘3-chip’ high definition pro-camera in stunning 16:9 (widescreen) format.

Video Editing
Our artistic editing techniques provide that unique look and style you are used to seeing on T.V. We combine establishing shots, close-ups, scene changes, pacing, digital enhancements, and music to create a memorable video production. Opening titles, text and logos are artfully integrated into the video. Custom music is added throughout with true non-linear digital editing.

We use straight cuts, subtle dissolves or fades to black, not cheesy effects which would make it look amateurish. Digital editing is done in Adobe Premiere, providing a polished video production with no added noise or loss of picture quality. Using custom audio layering and crafted image processing, you get a creatively polished video that showcases your business or event at a very affordable price.

Audio and Music
We use pro-audio gear to record during the shoot. We also incorporate professional customizable sound tracks, editable by each measure. The right music sets the tone for your video production. We have a large selection of music and we craft the soundtrack to your production.

Telling Your Story
Our job is to tell your story well in contemporary, professional video style. We get the angles, camera placement and needed close-ups that convey your story, then complete the project with tight, well-paced, artistic editing.
