About

PAST PERFORMANCE IS AN INDICATOR OF FUTURE RESULTS In 1979, the company was founded as Talentape, by Earle Greenberg and his mother, Joyce Stern Greenberg. This dynamic duo's talent agency pioneered the use of 'videotaped auditions' for orchestras and variety acts throughout the midwest. In 1980, armed with a degree in Tv/Film Production from Northwestern University, Earle expanded the business with VideOccasions - offering video production services to the hundreds of clients booking entertainment for weddings and other events. The company currently videotapes over 200 weddings per year with its staff of 8 videographers and 4 editors. In 1983, Talentape was sold and Earle completed his MBA from the University of Illinois while simultaneously teaching Advanced Tv Production on campus. In an effort to combine his experience in creative video production and his training in business and marketing, he expanded the video production staff and started a corporate video production division. Since then he has produced and directed promotional and training videos for hundreds of corporations and associations. A sample client list and a variety of demos are viewable on the web site. In 1998, to address an increased demand for photo montages and personal and corporate video biographies, Greenberg hired additional staff to operate that segment of the business as LifeStorease: The Custom Builder of Family History Videos. In 1999, Earle expanded the company into the production of computer based training for corporations utilizing Flash and proprietary software called "The Puzzleizer". Server based and Intranet delivered programs created by Greenberg and his staff. have been responsible for the self-directed training of tens of thousands of employees around the globe..

The one-of-a-kind works of art created by Custom Photo Mosaics, Inc. can be ordered at over 60 retail outlets in 10 states.
