Site for (US) Corporate Video?

[Spartacus]

Hey guys,
just like wedding videos have become more "cinematic" and you can find many good examples on the web, I´m tired of doing the same corporate pieces over and over.
I´d like to show clients examples, that may help to convince them of not doing the "this is our CEO at his desk, this is our assembly line, this is how our HQ looks" films again.

It´s not about being a copycat, but about showing them, that other companys have tried to approach a similar maybe "dry topic" in a more entertaining way.
(Even though the video may only address people, who "suit up" and "push numbers" all day :happy

I only do corporate videos once in a while, but I´d rather have some fun doing them...

Aren´t there even awards for this?
Thanks guys!

I worked on a series last year that was edited poorly (both technically and in terms of editing style), so the client never finished or used them. They were introductions to training/safety videos that a lot of companies use. THe concept was to mimic Film and TV shows. We only did 2 (6 were slated). One was a parody of the Patton speech about earthquake safety, and one was about suspicious packages that was done like The Sopranos.

The concept was good. It was just poorly executed.

Don't know if that helps.

Thanks Jim!
Sounds like what I´m planning to do: tell the client to make their video fun and/or entertaining.
It always depends on what the client is doing of course.
If the product is highly specialized, you´ll of course have to explain it properly.
But even this can be done more entertaining in most cases.
What I´m looking for are sites, showcasing corporate videos, simply to show clients, what others are already doing.
Some are just so focused and proud of their product, that they have the impression, everybody will feel the same about it and will gladly watch 25 minutes of narrated footage of every corner of their company.
Isn´t there sth like motionographer.com just for corporate videos?
