Focus Your Vision
Fall 2009 |

 Greetings!
Welcome to our first Newsletter. We are excited to reach out to you, our customers and colleagues, our friends and neighbors, four times a year to let you know what we are up to. We want you to know that we take our jobs seriously, but ourselves, well, a bit less so. Having grown, in less than 10 years, from a one person operation to a boutique shop of nine full and part-time people, our focus has also grown to include not just nonprofit clients, but also sustainable businesses. We look forward to the future, and sharing it all with you.
-- Michael Schweisheimer, Founder, PWP

Our Lovely Location
Working in a historic building 
Primitive World Productions (PWP) is located in an historic building in Germantown. Built in the 1880's, with an extension on the back built in the 1920's; the sense of being creative and doing business remains in a building that has seen so many generations. Up until now, the business has been primarily in the 1920's extension, but look for an article in our next Newsletter about our expansion into the entire building - more room for more inspiration!

Teach. Kids. Science.
by Dave Lamm
With two Grammys and nearly 25 years of rock experience, the band They Might Be Giants have been steadily recording and performing music. The band has produced such popular song favorites as "Birdhouse In Your Soul," "Triangle Man" and a cover of "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)." Over the years They Might Be Giants have continuously evolved, from the original two member band of John Linnell and John Flansburgh, into the full contemporary cadre including Dan Weinkauf, Dan Miller and Marty Beller. A rock band that originally wrote and performed songs for a more adult palate, they eventually began to write and release music for those very same adults' kids. Starting with the album, "No!", "Here Come The ABC's" and "Here Come The 123's," it is only appropriate that this evolution should culminate into their latest release, "Here Comes Science."

What's up at PWP?
Current Project has us seeing GREEN!
One of the projects that PWP is currently working on (and has been for over a year) is an educational video series called Green Careers: Sustainable Futures. Not only are we terribly excited about the project itself, but we are also rededicating ourselves to the many green and sustainable practices that we have been employing since our founding. Beyond what we have done in the past, we have redoubled our commitment to "being green." In fact we have joined the Sustainable Business Network, implementing a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, and are now working to increase our client base with other Sustainable companies. For information on incentives for Green and Sustainable Companies, please see our website: http://www.pwpvideo.com/green.aspx

An anonymous staff member makes his own "walk of fame"
"So since I made an internet list I'm pretty sure the fame and endorsements will come rolling in. Sorry guys, but it goes without saying I'll have to step over all of you on my meteoric rise to the top of minor internet celebrity. No hard feelings, that's just the way it goes. But don't worry I'll come crawling back after the rug is pulled out from under me.
I'm number 10."

The General Use or Case Statement Video
There are many different uses for video productions for nonprofit organizations. They can be used internally, externally, for furthering of one's mission, for fundraising, and beyond. But where is a good place to start entering into the world of moving images for a nonprofit organization? Obviously, there are as many different answers as there are nonprofits, but a good point to get started, especially for medium to smaller groups is with what I like to call a General Use Video, also referred to as a Case Statement Video.
