"We wanted to try a more creative approach to promoting our local farm
products," said George Ivey, Coordinator of the Buy Haywood project. "We have
always had excellent soils, hard-working farmers, and great-tasting produce,
but what we need to make a difference in our sales and marketing efforts might
really be cartoon tomatoes and YouTube."
The video was produced locally by Stellar Media, which aims to provide
animation at an affordable price for nonprofits as well as businesses. "In
this case, animation allowed us to take some serious issues and present them
in a humorous and hopefully memorable way," said Eric Larson, President of
Stellar Media. "Posting the video on the web will also help the project reach
many new and different audiences."
The voices for the video are also local, with Kristin Yarborough and Mark
Terry narrating the 80-second video. A shorter, 30-second version has also
been produced with possible television use in mind. The video can be seen
online at www.buyhaywood.com, www.stellarmediaonline.com, and
www.youtube.com/BuyHaywood.
