Velcome !!!

V is the twenty-second letter in the english alphabet!!! For most "V" stands for violin, variety, vacation, etc., etc......... For me it stands for Videos and Visuals!!! Video is the skill of capturing a sequence of still images in motion. Videos were first developed for film theatres and televisions. But with the advancement of technology, video files can now be viewed on the computers, on the internet, phones, i-pods, etc.
