1. Video is as hot as the Arizona sun. Give us a ring and we can do your script.

When introducing a new, revolutionary telecommunications solution—Internet faxing—a technology company contacted Jumping Bean to write the script for a movie to show to investors.

Talking about communication protocols, bits/second, and all that mumbo jumbo was all new in 2000, and quite the challenge.

What did the company have to do? It had to "dial down" the tech >>
