We are proud to announce that our primary danimations Youtube channel is now officially part of the Youtube Partner Program. What does that mean? Well, Google has reviewed and approved our content for its good standing, popularity, subscriber base and promise of growth. The program (whose precise entry prerequisites remain shrouded in mystery) unlocks exciting additional features of Youtube’s user accounts and channel pages. These include further channel page customisation options, custom content boxes and external links from text and banner graphics. Importantly from a business perspective, Partner Program status means that your content is also prioritised by Youtube’s recommendations engine, so more people will be exposed to your brand and content. Integration of advertising into and adjacent to your videos can also be enabled on a per video basis, offering a revenue split managed by Google’s AdSense engine. In short, YPP status makes your content easier to find, look sexier, integrate better with your other web presences and introduces a new revenue stream for your business. We assist all of our clients in developing Youtube channels to tap into its fantastic marketing and communications potential (it is the world’s second-most-searched website after Google, after all) and our video production and distribution packages start at $1499. Phone and email enquiries are always welcome.

Yesterday, Danimations helped Hectorville man Vladimir Jurcik attract a sizeable crowd to his world-record beating attempt. After rehabiliting from a serious brain injury 15 years ago, Vladimir started performing sit-ups to help compensate for his hearing and balance loss.When he learned about American Jim Clark’s record of 2201 sit-ups performed in an hour, Vlad began training hard and became determined to set a new world record on April 1st 2011, at the age of 60 years. You can meet Vlad and hear his annoucement of the event below.

Surrounded by cheering spectators in Rundle Mall, Vladimir successfully performed 2238 sit-up in one hour. The attempt captured the attention of Channel 7′s TV news, and the East Torrens Messenger newspaper is publishing a profile story on Vlad in next week’s edition, out on Thursday. Vlad also took the opportunity to introduce the audience to his Hearing Dog, Roxy, and continues to raise awareness for hearing dogs and their owners everywhere. Vlad was exhausted and ecstatic on completion of his feat, and Roxy congratulated him with many affectionate kisses. Next, Danimations will help Vlad qualify his record with Guinness World Records by sending them video footage of the attempt. We will also be posting a the video, time-lapse accellerated to our youtube channel next week. Become a subscriber and be among the first online to view his record breaking achievement!
