SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS
eZiba
This site has the best product representation on the web today.
I am proud to set THE benchmark for product photography and image
compression, which has yet to be matched. (SEE Case Studies below)
SWIM FAN
A completely fictitious WORKING web site was produced for a feature
film for the actors to use on camera. "Swim Gliders"
web site would have cost the production company $50,000.00 in
post production, but for the fact that ChowBaby Enterprises created
a 'real' web site that had the capability of "real time"
on set updates. This saved Green Street Films $40,000.00 plus
in post production costs. In addition to the theatrical value,
the "Swim Glider" web site is ready to launch online
upon release.
GHOSTWRITER
This started as a good show with some special effects. It ended
with an "invisible" character with as much presence
and personality as the human cast members. I was Ghostwriter that
lives and speaks through the computer (among other things, but
primarily the PC) in the homes and schools of all the characters.
We won our time slot 6:00 PM five weeks running with "Max
Mouse-The Hacker" episodes. I even received fan mail from
these episodes.
EXPRESSNET ON AOL
When we launched ExpressNet, the mission was to raise AMEX’s
image to an innovative, progressive
Organization. Our mission was accomplished beyond everyone’s
expectations. We got an unexpected bonus of new card member requests
of about 10,000 in the first six months.
IBM SOFTWARE
IBM has over 40 gigabytes of information on the Internet. IBM.software.com
makes sense and organization of this overwhelming amount of information
for the varied target audience. In addition, we brought IBM’s
brand into the more obscure areas of their products. Traffic was
increase and we even generated excitement over OS/2 Warp in download
and sales activity
INGERSOLL-RAND
Taken about 75 pounds of sales promotion, advertising and technical
materials, turned it into a very hot laptop presentation/sales
tool and much sought after leave behind disk. We organized a daunting
amount of information, made it fun (great looking) and easy to
use. Increased sales 300%.

Jerome R. Vitucci
2001 to Present Chief Executive Officer, ChowBaby Enterprises
Jerome R. Vitucci, ChowBaby Enterprises
CEO, is from the world of film making and brings scheduling and
management skills to ChowBaby. In more than one instance Mr. Vitucci
as shop steward for the film set has saved production time and
money. The film world is clearly one driven by profit. The economic
responsibilities of the sound department are substantial. They
are charged with safely capturing the spontaneous performances
of some of the highest paid performers. The per minute cost of
downtime for retakes is astronomical.
Mr. Vitucci HAD to get it the first time, every time. This does
not downplay the essential partnership with ADR (looping) and
all the other stages of post production sound. It just emphasizes
the value on capturing the original performance and the hundreds
of thousands of post production dollars saved.
Mr. Vitucci's past credits have included "Stuart Little I
" where the sound was critical to the animation department's
successful life-like depiction of Stuart and saved post-production
dollars.
