SundaySky, Tel Aviv/New York-based start-up with 50 employees, using no video camera or production staff, will produce 1.4 million video clips this month for a range of big retail and real estate corporate customers including Overstock.com and the History Channel.
The company pulls customer data into a customized template which creates videos with movement, music, narration and graphics and video. This is all done automatically.

The clips are hosted and published on a SundaySky player. They are search optimized.
