BUSINESS PROFILE Video By YVETTE N. FREEMAN Community News Editor company focuses on success | You've probably seen his work while flipping through the channels of your television set each night His commercials may be as long as 30 minutes or as short as 30 seconds. You may have even seen his work, while being recruited for a specific college or career. He's 29-year-old Mickey Miller, owner of nVision Inc., a video/graphics production company at the Business and Technology Cen ter on South Marshall Street. Miller started nVision just over a month ago in association with Don Kirk, owner of Target Television, another video production company, also located in the same suite of nVision. Although nVision and Tar get Television are two separate com panies, the two do share a staff of five. Target Television primarily deals with 30 second commercials, and n Vision focuses on longer pro ductions, such as 30-minute infor mational commercials, motivational and training videos. Miller had previously worked for Target Television as a graphic designer and videographer, but decided to form his own company because of the demand for longer productions. "Target was totally in an area of doing cable commer cials,' " he said. "And so I decided to move away from that because there is a large market for 30-minute video productions ? motivational tapes, network marketing, produc tions, recruitment." However, he stated that nVi sion will produce any length pro duction. "Ail the client has to do is present us with the objectives and we take it from there," explained Miller, who is a graduate of Appalachian State University. But he added that, "we encourage the clients to participate in the produc tion, so they have hands on contact with the production as it goes for United Industrial Engraving, then Target Television. Now, with nVi sion, he is able to combine both worlds of graphic design and video production. nVision/Target Television is along, and that means higher quality productions and faster production schedules." So far, things are going well for the company. One of Miller's recent clients was the Atlanta Falcons Mickey Miller founded nVlslon Inc. In January of this year. His ser vices Include television/video production, computer graphics ani mation, and desktop/logo productions. MONEY WATCH By THEODORE R.
