Four bags…125 pounds…Dayton, OH…in January. Why would I do this? For a video shoot of course! It was the second shoot of twelve that will happen during the course of a three-year project with Bedford St. Martin’s, the college textbook publisher you may have heard of.

When pitching TV show ideas to networks, they want to see a Sizzle Reel. That’s a 2-3 minute demo of the look, feel and subject matter of your show concept. Between these few dates, we shot our first two Sizzle Reels, one with popular blogger, The Frugal Hostess and the second with the women behind [...]

This shoot was one of a series of internal communications videos being produced to inform employees about the details involved with the Delta/Northwest merger. It was our first time in the Delta studio, which is hidden away in [...]
