The third instalment of the Eye Spy Security product promotion came in the form of The Salesman, a scenario in which the victim was not present during the burglarization of his vehicle. Robbery at gunpoint and the violent assault of salesmen is too common an occurrence. As part of the jewellery industry, Eye Spy Security has heard repeated stories of these traumatic experiences and feels it necessary to demonstrate how its product will keep those carrying high valued items safe.

The Eye Spy Security’s objective is to protect industry professionals from theft and violent crime, and to retrieve stolen property. The jewellery industry is largely unprotected and needs to integrate current technologies into their arsenal of security. The advancement in internet, cellular, and GPS technologies has allowed for a seamless product that any individual with basic computer skills can use.

Eye Spy Security commissioned Steven Reilander Productions to demonstrate the product’s application in a theft scenarios, and to reassure the public and jewellery industry that no longer does one’s life have to be put in jeopardy to retain high priced inventory. Once the salesman is no longer threatened, he is able track the stolen goods and direct police to their location.

Video Production for businesses is more in demand then ever before. It is easily the most effective way to promote a company’s brand, and to inform its clients and customers about its products.

Eye Spy Security’s second promotional video focused on highlighting one of the most dangerous jobs in its industry: The Traveling Salesperson. They are frequently robbed at gunpoint and many wear bulletproof vests as a precaution.  Eye Spy Security bait gps systems were designed with this in mind.  The completely wireless system is a perfect device to be hidden among the salesperson’s general merchandise.

The video production concept was taken from a common robbery scenario.  The salesman, carrying a large quantity of merchandise, stops for lunch.  While he eats, the merchandise is stolen from the vehicle it is left in.  An even more disturbing element of these situations is that the salesman are stalked and once they leave the vehicle the crooks move in for the heist. The creative decision was made by Steven Reilander in a brainstorming session with Eye Spy Security executives to show the entire robbery from the salesman’s perspective.  He is none the wiser to the robbery, However, with the gps device he is sent an alert text message prompting him to check on his merchandise and vehicle.  He discovers the burglary has taken place and is able to track and call police in a very short time frame.  The speedy discovery helps the police track and receive these stolen goods, increasing the chance of recovery.

The production took place in Sidney, British Columbia at locally owned Toast Café.   The space was graciously lent to us and we were able finish the primary photography in one day.

SR Productions’ first corporate video was a 4 minute introduction to The Gold Recyclers, a precious metal purchasing company in Sidney, BC. The video was filmed on a Canon 5D Mark II and is a testament to the high quality images these affordable DSLR cameras can produce. All of the video production equipment was rented locally and filmed on location at The Gold Recyclers’ office in Sidney, BC.  The precious metal purchasers were new to the video production process and nerves were present as people tend to be uncomfortable in front of a camera. Initially, the owners preferred scripted content as they felt they would be more comfortable with something to guide them. Upon Steven’s suggestion, scripts were set aside and interviews were conducted naturally. The candid questions drew heartfelt and very genuine responses and lead to a very nice final edit.

We began this production with the intent of introducing the family business to the public.  The video achieved this, but also became a greater introduction into the process a customer would expect when selling their precious metals.  At the peak of the gold prices, companies all over the world were taking part in the modern day gold rush.  They were travelling weekly to small towns and The Gold Recyclers had many teams throughout Canada.  The lack of a brick in mortar store in small towns made it challenging for The Gold Recyclers to develop a long term relationship with their customers.  They searched for a solution for this problem, coming up with a video that would introduce the key figures of the company to potential clients.
