Frontdoor.com, a Scripps Networks website focused on real estate, recently made available 3 videos about Knoxville which we were pleased to produce.  The videos are used to present a view of the area to people across the country who may be considering a move to Knoxville. The city guides at frontdoor.com provide extensive  information about the neighborhoods and amenities that make a city unique.  In addition to the videos, you will find photos, maps, home searches and listings.

The “Overview” video included interviews with residents and vendors talking about their favorite things about Knoxville. The size of the city (big enough.. but not too big), a hometown feel and the proximity to the Smoky Mountains seemed to be consistent themes with the people we interviewed.  The amenities and opportunities in downtown Knoxville were popular topics as well.The “Best Of” video includes several different venues and activities that are considered to be some of the best things that Knoxville offers.  The Art Market on Gay Street, the Farmer’s Market, the Smoky Mountains, World’s Fair Park, Volunteer Landing and the Chop House were included as things that were unique to the city or make living in Knoxville special. Of course, there are many more great things about Knoxville than we were able to include in this short video (especially lots of restaurants).

The “Neighborhoods” video took a look at neighborhoods from Fountain City to Farragut and Choto to Sequoyah Hills. The wide variety of home styles and price ranges were featured. 

Producing these videos were a lot of fun and we learned a lot.  Especially, in downtown Knoxville.  We have walked or driven by many of the shops downtown hundreds of times and never knew what was waiting behind the storefront.  We were surprised at the wide variety of merchandise available in these stores and impressed with the friendly people who worked there. Stopping in the Mast General Store and catching a 5 person band performing at the back of the store was a real treat. Of course, sampling the food on display behind the store on the “Promenade” walkway was lots of fun too even though it was really cold outside that day. And, attending the Blue Plate Special at radio station WDVX is always enjoyable.  It is one of the few (or only) radio shows in America that features live performances by mostly local artists. If you’ve never been there… go soon!

Probably the hardest part of the production was deciding what we couldn’t include.
