Envision Video Wins Three International Awards

Envison Video Services of Hasbrouck Heights, a franchise of Home Video Studio™, recently won 3 Hanley awards at the 11^th annual Home Video Studio™ (HVS) Getaway. The Black-Tie Gala event took place at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on Saturday July 23, 2011. The Hanley Awards are the HVS version of the Oscars, which recognize achievement in the movie industry.  Home Video Studio™ is the largest international video production services franchise with studios located in the United States, Canada and Sweden.

This year the Studio took home awards in the Best Use of Humor, Best Use of Music and Best Lifestory Video categories. The addition of these 3 awards brings Envision’s total up to 17 awards since its founding in 2005.

The Hanley’s, named after Robert Hanley, the founder and president of Home Video Studio™, recognize a studio owner’s work during the past year.  “We were in competition with studio owners from around the world,” Studio owner Peter Gallo noted, “and we entered several of the categories which include  Best Video Production, Best Documentary, and Best Sports Video to name a few.”

“We are very proud that our work has been recognized by our peers,” says Mr. Gallo.  “We strive to produce the best work for our customers and it’s nice to know that other professional video studio owners are impressed as well.”

Envison Video Services was created by Peter in 2005 as a video services company catering to families and small businesses. In 2008, it became a franchise of the Home Video Studio Franchise.  It currently operates under both names -  Envision Video Services and Home Video Studio of Hasbrouck Heights.

In addition to being honored guests at the Hanley Awards ceremony, Peter and some of his staff members participated in video production and post production training sessions. There they spent time enhancing their skills on the latest and greatest technology in the industry. This is the same technology utilized in the making of Hollywood movies and network television shows.

“As exciting as it was to win the awards,” said Mr. Gallo, “It was also very rewarding to take part in the training sessions.  The more we can learn about all the aspects of video production, the more we can do to create great products for our customers.”

Home Video Studio has an international network of nearly 90 studios ready to serve the video needs of the public with over 30 different types of professional video services. These services include video editing, video tape conversions, home movie transfers, photo montage videos, sports scholarship videos and more. Their customers range from consumers and businesses to schools and organizations.

If theres ever a time to honor your childs life nows the time to do it with photos and music at this landmark event. Graduation gifts may come and go, but one gift that will remain is a Photo Video Keepsake from Envision Video. Imagine a birth to graduation montage of photos, documents, music and titles, preserving your childs priceless moments in a one-of-a-kind work of art.

And the best part? Youll have a blast from start to finish! First you’ll get to go through your grads photos to select your favorites. Then you’ll choose their favorite music (and maybe some of your favorites, too). Then you’ll have to think of something to say in an opening or closing title. The whole time you’ll be bursting with pride thinking of your child’s accomplishment;  and then you get to watch it!

Explore ways to preserve your home movies, video tapes, photo albums, slides, letters, and paper documents which are a vital link to your past. It’s on vinyl, tape, film and paper – your memories, your creations, your collections, all your media memorabilia.

In analog form, the content is difficult and time-consuming to organize and access. It takes up a lot of space and it is slowly degrading. The solution is to digitize, preserve and organize it. Speaker Peter Gallo will provide you with tips and tricks on how you can do this easily and inexpensively all from the comforts of your own home.

Pete will share with you his knowledge and experience to help you determine how you can address preserving your collections for future generations before they are lost forever.
