Well spring is definitely in the air and shooting video couldn’t be more fun for Boise Videographers. Outside shots start to look fresh and leaves come back on the trees making everything look more alive, makes for more compelling pieces! We just shot video from the Boise Depot looking down to the Capitol Building with the snow capped mountains in the background…oh what a wonderful site. By the way thanks to Kenny Pitman of Professional Employee Services, A.J. Allen of First Horizon Home Loans and to Ken Wood of John L Scott Real Estate for stepping in on such short notice to be our interviewees on-camera for our part in the video production of a national PBS show called MoneyTrack. Good job guys, you all get gold stars for your last minute acting skills!
Be sure to read on, we’ve partnered with a couple of local TV stations to get some awesome deals on advertising rates for Peppershock Clients only…you”ll see!!!

Peppershock Media and the Nampa Chamber of Commerce…that makes sense!
If you haven’t heard about the Mercy Community Sale and the Nampa Chamber Valley Wellness Festival yet…ummm well…where have you been???? This year if you attend you’re likely to get captured on video tape by us; we’re working with the Nampa Chamber to put together footage of the big event happening on Saturday, April 16th, 8am – 5pm. Come out to the Idaho Center for a good cause and for your chance to win the highly publicized 1957 Chevy Bel Air Sports Coupe, or the choice of a new Honda or Toyota they are raffling away!!!! This is also a Live Auction, a Rummage Sale and a Silent auction. To donate items to the Mercy Community Sale call 463-5871 or 463-5531.
Also, we’ve been discussing putting together a new Nampa video, being that the old one is already outdated with some bigger name companies closing up shop or changing names.We want this for DVD distribution, Website(s) distribution…sending out with a re-location package or whatever the case may be, it’s time Nampa shines. There has already been an expressed interest to have sponsors to help with the cost of putting together the video and for DVD printing & duplication. If this is something you or your company would benefit from, let us know so that we can feel confident in pursuing the idea. We want to show off the City of Nampa and we think it’s possible through the support of our community feedback is very welcome at this beginning stage of the pre-production process. Contact us.
