Webinar Audience FAILURES
In this blog post, we’re not talking about bad audio, typos or poor internet connections. Today, we’re addressing jibber jabber, those giggly conversations that take place before/during and after presentations. If you’re like us, you may have left a webinar before it even started simply because it was taking too long for the company to get their act together. It’s really amazing to watch all the planning that goes into promoting a webinar and then total failure when it comes time to actually presenting the content. Be Lean: Don’t waste time, get right to it and follow...
read moreRecruitment videos for companies with sensitive information
Recruitment videos are great for attracting top talent. The challenge comes when you sell or make something that can’t be discussed publicly. So how do you convince prospects your company is a great place to work without telling them details about what you do? Our experience working with science and technology companies has taught us an array of tricks to get around the challenge.

It’s no secret that we love science and technology. On this particular day, we knew we’d be shooting some RFID technology but we didn’t know we’d have to shoot inside an Anechoic chamber. We’ll skip the details on what the room is and just tell you it’s really, really, really quiet inside. This particular room was filled with pointed foam acoustic tiles everywhere. This might not seem like too much of a problem until you consider lighting. Normally we have lots of flat floor to place our hot lights however this was far from the case. A combination of...
read moreThe glamour of shooting in exotic international locations
This is often the reality of our travel to far away places. We got the call to go to Morocco and shoot segments for a reporter covering the launch of a new Land Rover. We were only staying two days but we were excited to explore this mysterious destination. Our client flew us out first class and put us up at the finest hotels around. The reality was we had torrential rain each day. If you look closely, there’s a cat sleeping on the pillow of what should have been Jay’s outdoor patio. At least someone could enjoy the...
