I used to be really into Dragon Ball Z would be a terrible sentence to lead with if you were out on a date when I was in middle school. Also in high school. But only at the beginning. And kind of in the middle. Not at the end, though. Mostly. Anyway, I was also really […]

I love movies. There, I admit it! You happy? No seriously, I’ve loved watching and learning about films ever since I was little. As a child I was fascinated by the special effects side of filmmaking; how they made King Kong look so giant against the humans, or how they made Bigfoot come to life. […]

Occasionally I get to step away from the more business-related topics and write something I’m passionate about. In this case, I’ll be writing about set etiquette. Set etiquette is something that allows for great success, but can also be a source of great frustration. Not knowing how to conduct yourself on set is a big […]

“Can you turn those into triangles?” I’ve been asked this question, or something very similar, innumerable times while doing client work.

If you perform a Google search for “cheap logo design,” the first result you’ll get is from a service called Fiverr, wherein you can find myriad vendors purporting to provide quality logo design for as little as $5. That’s right. Five bucks. So for the price of a few McCheezburgers, your business could have a […]

Spring is a great time to look forward. To clean and prepare for the rest of the year. To pull the cover off your air condenser, and to take the bikes down from the garage ceiling. In Spring, however, we also find ourselves looking back and reflecting. As we wake up from the winter chill, […]

I’m sorry…what is this article about? Yes, yes, yes…I know what you’re saying – “Jeff, I’m an editor. I work on testimonial videos, commercials for products or events, or maybe (if I’m lucky and have an unrelenting desire to work on a single project for 9 to 12 months) a movie. I don’t DO musicals. That’s…that’s […]
