Having memories brought back to life seemed to have special importance to people, so when Robert purchased a video camera in 1987, his next business of Video/Graphics was born. Photography being his hobby, it was a natural decision. Using his same vision of perfection, he developed a technique of transferring old home movies, slides and photographs to video tape to be enjoyed by the thousands of people buying VCRs, which were just becoming popular at that time. Not being satisfied with the samples of work done by leading professional camera and video stores, Robert succeeded in providing the best video transfer work in the country with the invention of a revolutionary film to video transfer system.  His eye for perfection and a story of his success was written about in the May 1998 issue of "Small Business Opportunities" magazine.

With their lives drastically changed from a severe auto accident in 1982, opportunities evolved enabling Robert to continue his creative talents with his background in advertising, marketing, and public relations and allowed Gail to fulfill her ambitions of helping others with a worthwhile service. Robert was also the founder and director of Abilities for The Disabled, an organization that helped the disabled start a profitable home business, getting them off public assistance.

Robert's early background in the 60's and 70's found him creating advertising campaigns for companies like Audi who had just been introduced to the United States, Belk Department Stores. the brand new Hardee's restaurant chain, and political campaigns for state congressmen. His experience with Capitol Hill Advertising and Public Relations gave him his foundation for the marketing, advertising, and graphic art skills he used in his web site. Art, photography and video became his hobby and his expertise came through day and night involvement in his career which he did not consider "work" but enjoyment. Being self employed for 22 years gave him the ability to know the workings of successful business promotion. All his creative accomplishments took on that little extra "shine" of experience.

In 1978, Robert turned down an appointment to the U.S. Department of Commerce, choosing to start his own company, Gupton Marketing Services. His main desire became one of helping others become successful in business. Some called him an entrepreneur, an artist, a writer, a businessman, or marketing expert, but he said he was just happily living his purpose utilizing the talents he was born with.

At age 58, Robert said he had done most everything he had wanted to do. He passed away in November, 2003, and now Gail operates Video/Graphics with a new associate who has taken over Robert's equipment and methods, and who has the same eye for perfection, enabling the business to continue offering the best film transfer around.
 

Robert and Gail both had many articles about their business published in magazines like U.S Art and Small Business Opportunities as well as Internet Day. Robert had a solo art show at Emory University in 1994 exhibiting his exclusive Electronic Art, created from video feedback.
