    How Practicing My Skills Have Allowed My Creative Work To Evolve

    "I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true--hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it."

    –Ray Bradbury

    The saying 'practice makes perfect’ can apply to many disciplines –sports; music; art.  
     
    But it also applies to your work. Whether you are a master at spreadsheets, a whiz at making calls, or a commander of the conference room, the more you practice your role in the workplace the better you become. No matter your title.

    Video: What the Oxford Dictionary Doesn't Tell You


    According to the Oxford Dictionary the definition of Video is:

    The recording, reproducing, or broadcasting of moving visual images.

    While technically accurate, this definition is void of any nuance. Video is indeed the recording, reproducing or broadcasting of moving visual images. Yet, anyone familiar with video – from a creator to a viewer – knows there’s much more to it than that.

    4 Tools My iPhone Will Never Replace


    I write a lot about gear and production for a couple of reasons:

    1. I love the topic
    2. We travel quite a bit and we always have to be prepared no matter what, no matter how long the shoot runs, and I like sharing the gear decisions that have been galvanized during field production.

    We are huge fans of technology and of course we all have smart phones. They are a godsend for production. Smartphones keep us connected and they provide amazing assistance with specialized apps. You can use your smart phone for almost anything.

    But…that's not always a great idea.

    5 Traditional Animation Principles That Are Still Important Today

    Animation has evolved exponentially in the last century.

    That doesn’t change the fact that every animation - from the very first cartoon ever made, to the cartoons and animated movies that we watch today - are all crafted by artists.

    Technology is constantly advancing the way we animate. However, it doesn't matter if you are animating with a pencil and paper or by computer, the same fundamental animation principles apply.

    From Around the Web: 4 Fab 2016 Video Marketing Infographics


    When we’re looking for inspiration, we do what everyone does: we turn to Google. 

    The other day I was looking for some new statistics about video marketing to use in a pitch. I had some great stats that I used in this Production Trends blog from January. But I wanted fresh information.

    However, when I googled “Video Marketing Infographics” results from 2011 and 2012 showed first!

    Now, this could be because 2011 and 2012 were the infographic's heyday.

    But in Video terms, 4 or 5 years ago might as well be twenty years ago. The video production and video marketing landscape changes dramatically year to year. Thank new breakthroughs in technology and adoption rates for new technology for this trend.
