2011 was certainly the best year yet for VJIX, we created over 40 videos for large and small businesses. Sadly the two biggest clients we worked with so far, that are Fortune 500 businesses and house hold names, we had to sign NDAs. It is like saying, “Trust me, we won an award for being awesome, but I can’t tell you about it”.

The biggest news was Steve Jobs died, and oddly the anticipated Final Cut Pro X was released which was a total flop according to most reviews. Personally I have noticed Apple backing away from its professional users to cater to the general public. Thankfully Adobe released some of the best video tools yet with CS5.5. It will be interesting to see what Apple does next and how Adobe responds.

2011 was also year for mobile video codecs to battle. Unfortunately there is no one video codec that will play on all devices and computers, without pointing fingers I can tell you it is over greed, not tech specs. Eventually some form of HTML5 video will prevail, but it will take a while until compatibility reaches the 99% that flash has on desktop computers.

In 2012 I don’t think anyone will question is validity of online video, it is here and growing quicker than any other medium. People are seeing video works great in conjunction with text information, and better than a single image. No surprise there.

I hope 2012 is a safe and great year for everyone!

What a big year and a bigger one to come! In case you haven’t started a business, it is hard work and there is always 1000 more things to do. Also starting a business is awesome, being able to do things your way has got to be the best payoff.

For me 2009 will be one to remember.

• became a LLC
• Developed the vjix.com, as a non-web developer this took more time than I had hoped.
• Made relationships with new clients to make awesome videos!
• Snagged agency work which I hadn’t thought of doing, but was great.
• Made 1000 changes to the website.

2010 is truly going to be awesome!

• Two new products or levels of videos will become available.
• More marketing to get our name out there.
• More online video news in the blog, there are so many great developments in online video.

I have one goal, that is to make clean videos that show off other people’s businesses to get them more clients. If I can do that, then my business will flourish respectively. Best of luck to all of you in your ventures, 2010 is going to be great!
