How We Got Started
My name is Arthur Zepeda (everyone calls me Art!), and I've been living in Visalia, California with my wife, Lina, and two sons, Samuel & Lucas.
I grew up in Visalia!
After High School, I enlisted in the U.S Army and served our country for four years. After my Honorable Discharge, I attended College of Sequoias while working for the Visalia Unified School District. I then worked as a Correctional Officer at North Kern State Prison in Delano, Ca. for over 22 years. In all, I have served the public for 32 years!
It was time for a change!
I've always had a passion for video since I was 10 years old after watching Star Wars in 1977! Yes, I am a Star Wars nerd/fan! Making and producing videos was a passion so in 2005, I decided to go pro. While still working for the state, I started Arthur Zepeda Productions dba: Home Video Studio! Having joined the Home Video Studio Network was THE best thing I could have ever done!
I look forward to working on YOUR project!

They all do! It takes a lot of work but you need to be on all of them. Using a Social Media Management tool (like I do) will help greatly. Also, a SMM tool will update and sync your business info through all available listing sites. Even the ones you've never heard of. This will will increase your ranking and online reputation. I augment everything with paid Google and Facebook ads as well. Getting reviews is probably the biggest social media boost you can receive. Work on getting reviews! Have a wonderful day!

I would have to say the most memorable experiences since I started my business are the most emotional. And they always involve a "Memorial Video." A memorial video is a beautifully constructed slide show of photographs synchronized to music normally shown at a funeral. There was the time when a young lady named Tanya, arrived at my business to have me create a memorial video for her recently passed mother. I remember after I completed it, she loved her the video so much. Approximately a year later, Toniann, Tanya's sister, came to me to create a memorial video. It was for Tanya. She had recently passed due to an illness. There was the time when twin sisters Becky and Callie, came to me to create a memorial video for their recently passed brother. A year later, Callie came to me to create a memorial video for Becky. The one that I will always remember, are sisters Glenda and Gayle. They wanted a memorial video for their recently passed mother. When they walked into my studio, I noticed they had two separate stacks of printed photographs. When they sat down at my desk, I distinctly noticed the large space between them. It was then that I realized they were sisters that were not on speaking terms. During the process I asked them, "Are we going to make two separate videos or are we going to combine your two stacks of pictures?" They reluctantly looked at each other and quietly agreed that obviously, it made more sense to combine their photographs. So slowly and over the next thirty minutes, they sat and created a single stack of photographs. At first I could see their resistance to "work together." But eventually, they actually laughed and sometimes cried a little at each of the pictures during the process. At that moment, I realized that it took the death of their mother to finally bring these two back together. I love my business! Arthur Zepeda

Word of mouth through social media. It's still word of mouth in a traditional sense but through the use of Facebook, Instagram and the like. I have had many customers tell me they heard about me through a Facebook share from a friend, etc. So far so good!
