Imaginate's Charter

From Daniel Sellers; Owner

Imaginate is intent on expressing memories, ideas, and hope in a format that is tangible and able to shared with others.  Who does not remember a story that was read or told that captured your attention and which you could not wait to hear the ending?

I remember sitting on my grandmother's lap as a boy of five telling story after story that I would create as I went.  My grandmother always paid full attention, just a small example of her kindness, as my five-year old mind explored worlds that were only limited by my imagination.  I am an adult and my grandmother passed away many years ago, but I still tell stories, only now I use different methods available to express how I feel or what I believe.

Technology is a vast and fascinating tool that enriches our lives.  I believe that lives will be enriched even more with a new market in the technology field that is only being discovered.  This new market is the “personal expression communicated to the masses,” and it enables individuals, families, and small businesses to express themselves in ways of which they never dreamed.  You no longer have to be content about TV and movies that media companies throw at you. Now is your chance to be on screen, for your voice to heard and YOUR STORY TOLD.

“Personal expression communicated to the masses” is a combination of technology and imagination. This was the very thing I searched for when I was married to my incredible wife in the summer of 2003.  I wanted to be sure that the memories from this special occasion where saved for all time.  As I looked at demos and spoke with many videographers, however, I found that no one could tell or capture our story.  Either they used cheap equipment that could not capture the environment properly or could not assemble the footage in an exceptional way.  I understood that my standards and expectations were high, but I wanted one of the most important times in my life to be a story that I could always share with my wife and those we love.  This is why is started Imaginate Productions.

Ways of expression are also known as types of communication.  Even in a

world where we are always connected, it is amazing that the need to be remembered and tell our story effectively goes unadvised.  We snap pictures, record video, create personal websites and blogging as a way to be noticed and heard.  The emergence of Instant Messaging and, more recently, sites such as MySpace testify to our need of expression.

Imaginate offers are a way to capture your story and present it in a manner you can share with others by placing it in a medium form that can be kept for the rest of your life.  We strive to tell your story and present it in a way that most closely represents your experience.  This is much like what a publisher does for an author except we can present your story in an even more dynamic way.

How your story is told is up to you.  It may be through a truly artistic driven DVD that you can watch anytime you want and will be available whenever you want.  It may be an audio CD or photo montage that one need only place in his or her computer or DVD disc drive.  It could be through a website for your business or a marketing DVD that can be sent to introduce your business to a host of new clients.  What story do you want to tell and what are you attempting to communicate that you felt you could not through every day living?
