VideoTile company History

http://www.videotile.co.uk/history.php VideoTile has evolved from the world of corporate film and broadcast television dating back to 1979 when VideoTile’s production director David E. Hines formed a production company to take advantage of the then new video recording technologies. Throughout the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s the company, then called ‘Millenniavision’, produced documentary style programs for the ITV network and large corporate organisations both in the UK and USA. The company also maintained offices in Seward Street, Hollywood, CA in addition to its UK production base. In 1997 in California in association with Internet specialists WareNet, Hines came up with the concept of embedding video content into a web page in a way that it appeared to be functioning as a much larger canvas. Dubbed 'VideoTile' the first project involved the production of an Internet commercial demonstrating an in car navigation system. Hines and his colleagues later patented the technique (United States Patent 6570585). Although the technique was designed to work on a simple dial-up connection the technique was probably 10 years ahead of its time, waiting for broadband to fully realise it’s potential. From the early 2000’s the company acquired an increasing level of expertise in the area of the converging technologies of computer programming, animated graphics and video for a range of platforms that became known as “New Media”. Renamed as VideoTile Limited in 2006, the company now claims to be the most experienced company in the UK specialising in presenter lead web video content. The examples here showing some of the companies earlier work, demonstrate the vast experience and pedigree from which VideoTile has adopted its current production values.
