One Sunday evening I opened my email, hoping for something amazing. At first I was annoyed to have received another spam email but as soon as I actually opened it my annoyance turned to joy. This email was so horrendous that it actually came back around into the realm of awesome. For your viewing pleasure […]

Another year, infinite possibilities to upgrade. This was the first year we went to NAB instead of watching from the sidelines. John, Julia, and myself flew in Sunday night and out on Thursday night. John and I did the basic exhibit package while Julia went full bore and got a smart pass. It worked out […]

From all of us at Backflip we wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and holiday season!

The University of Wisconsin (Foundation and Alumni Association) brought us in to promote their Annual Appeal. With John and I being alumni we were really excited to show what we loved about the university. There are three videos in this project: Spirit, Academics, and UW Experience. We wanted to bring the idea of a one-shot-wonder into […]

We get to do a lot of great things with Brent King and the Diocese of Madison. This piece was created to help promote the Seminarian campaign and overall awareness of Seminary. We followed around a Seminarian for two days at Sacred Heart Major Seminary. It was great to see the daily life of a Seminarian […]

I never went to camp as a kid but I know I would have had a blast. John, Erin, and I spent two days taking in the sights and filming at the Birch Trail camp. We had an amazing time. The counselors and staff seemed to love what they do and the kids were so […]

We spent two days running around campus with T.C. DeWitt surprising students […]

Ray Harter of Marvel Medtech is doing some amazing things. He’s developed a mechanical system which can do a live biopsy amidst an MRI. The old school methodology is to perform an MRI, go do a biopsy, do another MRI and check if the biopsy got all the tissue, if not do another biopsy, rinse […]

The above video was created for Electronic Theatre Controls to help announce a new product, the Source4 LED, to the people who would use it. It was great shooting in the overture center with free rein over the Capitol theatre. It is such a beautiful space. We used a tilt-shift lens for a few of […]
