Hope it’s been a fun weekend! We thought you might be in need of some Monday morning eye candy, and this will surely deliver. The cinematography world is abuzz with shooting flat and getting beautiful, high dynamic range images from DSLRs to Black Magic Cinema, and everything in between. The reason?...

Amanda Geren is a technology teacher at a middle-school in Lexington, KY. When she’s not enriching young minds, she can be found fanning her love affair with Excel spreadsheets, reading juvenile fiction and theological texts.   Many see creativity as a requirement for artists and designers,...

If you’re a business owner or communications pro, you’ve no doubt encountered dozens of SEO experts offering their magic bullets. It’s not long before you realize there’s a whole bunch of snake oil out there for sale. The SEO rules and algorithms are constantly changing, but relevant...

Welcome to our semi-weekly feature: the Dapper Site of the Week, where we showcase some great work we’ve found on the web. This week’s site is for koa water.  What’s great about this site is its clean, beautiful design, great color palette, soft watercolor textures and responsive functionality. While...

When most of us think of design, we think of advertising or some type of media. We think of billboards, magazines, posters and wedding invitations. Things created by designers to look pretty and promote something. But, sometimes we forget that at its purest level, design is used as a utility to help...

I don’t know if it’s possible to be in love with a brand. But if it is, I’m smitten. We were super excited to work with Sherwood Design and Events to bring them a new identity, website and business stationary. When we began working with them, the idea of a tree kept emerging. Not only...

One of the best customer service experiences I can remember was a very small gesture that emerged in the midst of a really horrible customer service experience. I have a love/hate relationship with most airlines. So much so that I’ve gone on the record of saying there are two jobs I would never...

Our PBS doc, The Journey Into Wellbeing, was just featured in the spring edition of STORY, our favorite magazine. You have to see this gorgeous magazine in person, but if you aren’t in the area, the PDF edition will have to do. Thanks Julie Wilson and team for such beautiful coverage, and for using...

The pilot episode of a new national health and wellness series, “The Journey Into Wellbeing,” which was shot in Kentucky, makes its television debut Tuesday night. It will air at 9 p.m. on PBS stations nationwide, including KET. The show features a panel of Bluegrass-based experts alongside host Debra...

I put something flawed out into the world today. It was something that I had poured a lot of time and passion, and personal belief into. And with so much invested in it, it was hard to fathom the idea of it not being 100% perfect. But, deadlines loom, and I sent The Journey Into Wellbeing, a one hour...

File this under “Things Learned From Dogs.” I saw this profound post from a Facebook friend yesterday, about his dog. Censored and edited for grammar, of course: “I just had this epiphany: my dog loves to get in the car all the time & doesn’t give a * poignant 4-letter word*...

Hi guys, Jason here. Those of you who know me, know I LOVE scuba diving, but don’t get to do it nearly often enough! And, as a cinematographer, I’d have to say the dream shoot would be one that takes place underwater. When I happened upon some of Eve Hazelton’s work doing research for...

We’re so proud of our crew for the PBS documentary, “Journey Into Wellbeing!” Principal shooting just wrapped Friday evening, and we’re looking forward to beginning editing. The Journey Into Wellbeing pilot episode will be a one-hour documentary exploring the health secrets in...

Running an independent, boutique ad agency is full of a lot of unexpected things. Even with all the MBAs, design/media training and leadership courses the world has to offer, there will always be something new to figure out, and that’s something I love. But my favorite part of running a global...

Think Like a DP. Sting Like a bee. I love cinematography because it’s such a blend of paradoxes. Incredibly artistic, yet incredibly technical. If you’ve ever been on a set, you can’t help but be enraptured by the dichotomy of a well-lit, well-decorated set, while just outside the camera’s...

Happy Friday, everyone! Hope that everyone has gotten their iPhone 5 ordered! For today’s Fun Talent Spotlight, I wanted to show you this video of a father/son duo on piano playing Gershwin. This can be your soundtrack for wrapping up a busy day and letting the weekend begin!

My screenwriting professor in LA called it “The Page 17 Dilemma.” In classic story structure, it’s sometimes called “The Quest.” It’s unmistakeable in most books and cinema. It’s the moment where the protagonist is confronted with his major crisis, and how he...

If there’s any industry that understands looking dapper, it’s the spa industry. But one thing you probably don’t know as much about is a destination spa. Sure, they focus on a posh spa lifestyle, but central to their values are focusing on holistic health and wellness from a natural...
