Your Media Business Will Not Be Saved

Your Media Business Will Not Be Saved #eklecticVideo will not save your media business.

Customers could create short, animated videos, decorated with tiny snowmen, reindeer, Santas and other props, to use as their holiday greeting. While they were playing mini-movie mogul, they were also learning about their phone's capabilities, accessories and add-ons.
