This year, National Life Group released a digital version of their annual report for the first time.

THE AUTOMASTER EXPERIENCEAUTOMASTER HONDA

Fri, 18 May 2012 14:00:00 -0500

The Automaster has been offering high end service and high end cars for almost half a century. They came to us wanting to create a :30 spot that would maintain their high end reputation, but would also showcase the approachable pricing at their Honda dealership. The commercial also had to be modular so that we can easily update it to the current deal that Honda is offering.

FLAT FEE SAVESFLAT FEE REAL ESTATE

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 13:51:00 -0500

Rightside has been working with Flat Fee to create their spots for the past several years. Until now, we have stuck to a very successful animated campaign. Ready to branch out to other mediums, we worked with Flat Fee to create the concept for this testimonial based commercial. Because Flat Fee offers an unconventional service, we wanted to deliver a message that left the viewer coming away intrigued by Flat Fee's services and wanting to find out more. To do this, we concluded that the best way is to show off the staggering amount of money Flat Fee's clients save when compared to using a traditional Real Estate service.

The music for this piece was created by Cabin46.

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 10:57:00 -0500

Rightside and Line teamed up again this year to create the 2012 Line Skis product videos. The 2011 product videos that we created were a huge success, generating over 1 million views.

This past February we spent a week in Utah with the entire Line team. Alex O'Brien was shooting photos, Shane McFalls was shooting video of the action and Rightside was on point with athlete interviews. The weather was all over the place, but we made the best of it. We had rain, snow, tons of wind and finally some sun. It was a very productive week of product testing, feedback and development.

This summer we worked with Line to edit the athlete interviews into 27 product videos. We combined the interviews with action footage from Level 1, Poor Boyz, Nimbus Independent and Meathead Films. Infinite Landscape created all the graphic animations. After less than two months of being live, the 2012 videos have already generated over 100,000 views.

DTK EPISODE 3EAST COAST SPLITBOARDING

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 11:46:00 -0500

The final episode of our East Cost splitboard web series launched in mid-July. It was a great end to the season on the East Coast and we were able to ride well into May. Even with the summer release, Episode 3 was able to rack up a respectable amount of views. In total, Season 1 of the DTK series racked up over 21,000 loads. Not bad considering how small of a niche market East Coast backcountry snowboarding is.

Keep your eyes peeled for a lot more from us this winter! Updates can be found at CheckYourPins.com.

Smart Style is a Freestyle Terrain Safety Initiative organized by the National Ski Areas Association and Burton Snowboards along with the cooperative effort of the Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) and the American Association of Snowboard Instructors (AASI).

THE LIFT STORYLIFT COMMUNITIES

Fri, 20 May 2011 23:26:00 -0500

LIFT's mission is to combat poverty and expand opportunity for all people. To help spread their message, LIFT came to Rightside to create an all encompassing informational video about LIFT Communities. With visits to their offices in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington, DC we interviewed volunteers, site managers and every day people who benefit from LIFT's services. The success of these videos can only be summed up by LIFT's Director of Development:

"We debuted the LIFT video last night at our annual benefit in New York City to ~300 of our supporters. Two words: holy cow. The quality of the video, the production, the story, the message – gosh, it made SUCH a difference to giving LIFT that professional look while also telling our story." ~ Amy Baker
