Just this past year, Burlington unveiled 3rd Ave adding new restaurants and a bowling alley to an already buzzing area. In addition, New England Executive Park is transitioning their office park on Mall Road to become “The District” , which will become of the most luxurious office buildings to work at in the area!

The team here at McElroy Films wanted to make a special little video solely to showcase some of the amazing spots around Burlington! We truly couldn’t ask for a better town to work in!

An FTP transfer or File Transfer Protocol is what we, in the video production world, use to transfer files from one host to another host through the Internet.  Clients of McElroy Films often ask us what our preferred method of delivery is for files and completed videos.  Often times, there is no singular answer to this question because the method is  dependent on the client’s time frame and technical capabilities, not to mention the size of the files. As a video production company with a far reaching list of clientele, we are accustomed to sending files and products quickly and effectively throughout the country and overseas. This blog works to translate a hardy technological term into a comprehensible explanation of the FTP Transfer process.

FTP transfers occur when the client and the server connect through the Internet to share files.  Unlike a tangible hard drive, the FTP transfer is an ideal method of delivery if the client is not interested in paying for the storage drive, sales tax, and the shipping fees. Despite the shipping cost of hard drives, they are still the best and fastest way to send a large quantity of files, not to mention, they provide timeless data storage. FTP transfers are ideal for sending files remotely, however the process is timely as it takes equal loading and uploading time, from client to the server, therefore a strong and safe Internet connection is recommended for a successful transfer.

FTP transfers can require a login and username in order to allow access whereas other FTP transfers require no login or username.  Be sure to ask your client or vendor if they have a login or username for FTP transfers.  Once the client or vendor has access to the login or files then the files are ready to be transferred. Be sure to monitor the transfer throughout the process. Trust us, we enjoy helping our clients to understand the entire production process, including the delivery process.

If you have any questions regarding various methods of delivery or other facets of the production process then submit your questions to info@mcelroyfilms.com and we will dedicate our next blog post to answering your question.

McElroy Films LLC wants to thank the members of the Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce for welcoming the video production company into the chamber. McElroy Films shares why joining the local chamber of commerce not only benefits the company but the community.

The Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce or BACC is a non-profit created to strengthen the businesses in Burlington and nearby communities. Through forums, seminars, networking events, and local events people learn and connect with  each other. Whether people network with the hope of acquiring a new client or gaining exposure through word of mouth, their involvement works to establish a reliable network of influential people.

After attending his first Multi-Chamber Networking and Social Media Workshop at the Marriott Boston Burlington, Ben McElroy salutes the businesses and organizations that are not only working to expand their clientele but build bridges that strengthen communities. The multi-chamber event brought people together from places like Arlington, Bedford, Billerica, Lexington, Medford, Melrose, Newton-Needham, Reading/North Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, Wilmington and Winchester, just to name a few.

As a member, McElroy Films interacts the Burlington residents and industry professionals. Connecting with the town  is essential for the production company that prides itself on communicating effectively with an audience. McElroy Films appreciates the referrals and connections made through the chamber. As a result of the trust and relationships forged, Mcelroy Films continues to do what they love, which is translate people’s visions into realities using video. Speaking with the people who fuel the economy of a town allows Ben and his team to understand and amend the aches and pains of businesses large and small.

McElroy looks forward to the next opportunity to mix and mingle with the driven members of the BACC. Note, non-members are welcome to participate in select events by visiting the BACC website and RSVP’ing to upcoming events. Don’t forget to bring your business cards.

See you soon!
