Although Create A Video looks like a modest business on Fairview Road, it is expansive in its reach and huge in its creativity. Located at 8329 Fairview Road in Mint Hill, Create A Video opened in 1997, catering to the local market in transferring older analog slides, printed pictures, old films, and VHS tapes into DVDs to be used by modern technology. They will add music and captions to lend a professional look to those precious memories and treasured media.

They are also pioneers in their field. Create A Video was the first to introduce the memorial video at a National Funeral Directors Trade Show in the 90’s. These videos can encapsulate the biography of the loved one being remembered, and have become a common addition at funerals.

Creative Video has also created a special app for traveling groups. Group Travel Videos.com has been designed for tour operators, field trip leaders, and travelers in that group to share and compare photos of that special trip. The app can also be beneficial to tour leaders to send out changes in itinerary, and even to locate their group members. A user name and password are created exclusively for this group to ensure privacy. This video can be used as a keepsake for this memorable adventure and can reinforce the educational aspect of the trip. It is especially attractive to tour guides who wish to use it to promotional purposes.

Another area of service is to put together “scholarship videos.” Films taken of an athlete can be assembled to show his or her skills on the court or on the field and be sent to prospective college scouts or decision makers. Such promotional videos can also be an asset to job seekers wanting to display their “in front of people” abilities.

Creative Video’s business has spread worldwide but maintains the hometown feel of a local business. They can be reached at 704-846-7870.
