ORDER
PER CURIAM:
Brandon Seaton appeals the motion court's judgment denying his Rule 29.15 motion`for`post-conviction relief after an evidentiary hearing. Seaton was found guilty of statutory sodomy in the first-degree and sentenced as a prior offender and a persistent sexual offender to thirty years of imprisonment without probation or parole. Seaton contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion for post-conviction relief because trial counsel was ineffective for failing to: (1) call two witnesses; and (2) create and offer into evidence a videotape, instead of the photographs and diagrams that were presented by trial counsel, of the home where the crime was alleged to have occurred to demonstrate that Seaton could not have *563 been alone with the victim. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
