What comes to mind when you see the name Spotted Yeti? Is it a purple polka dot Sasquatch?
While that’s not quite the direction Molly Berrens, CEO of
Spotted Yeti Media, had in mind, you wouldn’t be alone in that misconception.
“It’s a play on words,” Berrens says. She says the idea came from a Mitch Hedberg joke that claims Bigfoot is naturally blurry, so it’s not the cameraman’s fault that the image isn't in focus. While Berrens didn’t immediately embrace the name, she came to appreciate its double meaning and is proud to work under the banner.
Spotted Yeti is a video production studio based in Newport. Their expertise lies in short-form videos that are intended mainly for the web and live events, with a client list based in the corporate and nonprofit sectors.
Their offered services include documentaries, company overviews, client testimonials, green screen productions, animations, video blogs (or "vlogs") and instructional/training videos—but they have the capacity to handle many projects beyond those already offered. To stay appealing for most web users, the videos are typically no longer than four minutes.
Most of Spotted Yeti's
featured videos showcase its clients’ personalities, which makes the work it provides a great way to represent businesses and charities.
If you're interested in what Spotted Yeti does, it offers qualified students internships where they can hone their craft in a professional studio.
“Not many people have ‘spotted’ a yeti,” Berrens said. “Our company motto is ‘Show the world you exist’ so you can bring a big idea into focus.”
