BuyerZone user comments: video production purchasing requirements

"I am working on a federal grant proposal where we will be developing media-based experiments to test the efficacy of viral marketing techniques. We anticipate the need to develop a series of productions:(1) Streaming Videos: A series of closely related and very similar streaming videos that will feature a series of variations and ultimately result in the development of about 8 unique 5 minute video productions. (2) Virtual Spokesperson: Development of an interactive web-based virtual spokesperson application. As part of this project we will need to script and record a series (2 - 3) ten minute virtual spokesperson videos."
