When we're in need of inspiration we draw from our favorite creatives.

To that end, we culled a SlideShare document of 10 inspiring quotes from 10 of our favorite filmmakers. So if you're feeling like you could use a fresh perspective, take a look - and if you're in a hurry, we've written the quotes below for an easy skim.

http://www.slideshare.net/MediaBoss/inspiring-words-from-our-favorite-filmmakers

"A good film is when the price of the dinner, the theatre admission and the babysitter were worth it." - Alfred Hitchock

"When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films." - Quentin Tarantino

"The Secret to the movie business or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film - whether it's history, psychology, economics, or architecture - so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn't going to help you unless you have something to say." - George Lucas

"There's nothing creative about living within your means." - Francis Ford Coppola

"Be conscious of the filmmakers that speak to you. Be shameless about stealing from the. Oddly, your own voice comes out." - Nancy Savoca

"If there's specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons; I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies." - Kathryn Bigelow

"There's nothing quite like the idea of failing spectacularly to excite a film maker." - Mike Figgis

"A film is- or should be - more like music than fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later." - Stanley Kubrick

"Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there, And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of woman." - Nora Ephron

"A film is never really good unless the camera is an eye in the head of a poet." - Orson Welles

4 Lighting Tips You Shouldn't Shoot Without

4 Lighting Tips for Great Video

Occasionally, you may not have the luxury of hiring a professional production company to shoot your video for you. Maybe there's a last minute opportunity to interview a star customer and there isn't time to schedule a crew (though you should still give us a call to see), or maybe there's a syngeristic moment that presents itself at a trade show. Or maybe, you want to do something creative after work and shoot a web short.

Whatever it is, you'll want to make it look as good as possible.

So you should go out and buy a top-of-the-line video camera for these moments, right?

Wrong.

The key to great video is not the camera. It is the lighting.

What?

Yes. It's the lighting that can make or break a video.

Are you familiar with a guy named Stephen Spielberg?

Don't get us wrong; we aren't arguing that he shoots with cheap cameras.

He absolutely does not.

But his films' distinct looks have everything to do with a man named Janusz Kaminski. Kaminski is the Oscar-winning cinematographer who has been behind every Spielberg film since 1993. His lighting is world-renowned and emulated by the best in the business.

In fact, you know that incredible shot in True Grit - the shot that introduces Jeff Bridges's character for the first time in the court house, backlit and bathed in sunlight? Cinematographer Roger Deakins credits Kaminski's influence for that scene. (Read more about that here).

Now, we're not proposing that this blog post is a master class in lighting, but we do have 4 practical lighting tips that will help you shoot a great looking video. For our visual learners - check out our SlideShare below.

http://www.slideshare.net/MediaBoss/5-lighting-tips-you-shouldnt-shoot-without

No. 1: White Balance, Please.

Please white balance. Forgetting this simple step can ruin a video right out of the box. No kidding. Clients ask us to 'fix' their self-shot footage every once in a while and many times we are able to accommodate this request. But if they did not white balance before shooting, the process becomes tricky. And costly.

How to White Balance:

First, RTFM.

Then, keep a plain white card in your kit. If you forget your plain white card, see if you can grab a piece of blank printing paper somewhere.

Point your camera at the white card and then press your camera's white balance button you read about in the manual.

But, what if my camera doesn't have a white balance?

If you are using a single chip HD camera then you have no control of the white balance settings because it's on full-time auto. But don't fret. There are ways to make sure you are getting the best out of your camera. Just make sure you are dealing with only ONE type of light at a time.

Open the shades and turn off the flourescent lights and you will have the control you need. If you're shooting in a windowless office with Fluorescent lights, make sure you turn off any desk lamps. The desk lamps are most likely Incandescent lights and Fluorescents and Incandescents do not mix well.

No. 2: Use the Sun.

Because, sometimes the best things in life are free.

The first major source of light is also the best source of light. The sun has a full spectrum of light and it renders color well.

A Few Tips:

Position your subject one of two ways:

Film them with the light shining directly in their face (if they are comfortable and don't need to squint too much), or film them at an angle so that one side is hot and one side is not.

Try not to shoot at noon. The shadows come from above and are difficult to get rid of. Early morning and afternoon has softer light with a more golden tone and fills your subject better.

No. 3: Add an External Camera Light.

When the lighting comes from a source above, like a gym or an office or outdoors at midday, a camera light is excellent for filling in the annoying shadows that appear on your subject's face.

There are literally hundreds of different options. We like our LED light panels, but there are less expensive options. You can find perfectly adequate external lights for $30.

No. 4: Use a Light with a Stand

A light on a stand is an important upgrade to your production rig for a couple of reasons.

1. They give brighter light over a larger area

2. They allow you to move the camera angle without moving the lighting set up.

Bonus Tip:

Take care to isolate your light sources.

i.e. Close or open your shades, turn off office lights, etc.

And Remember:

When you mix light, your primary source needs to be the brightest!

We hope these tips help you out on your next production. If you think we missed something important, let us know in the comments!

Future Features of Social Media: Q&A

EricaLeBlanc May 11, 2015 Creativity, Social Media Marketing Leave a Comment

Q: Who?

A: Twitter.

As a Social Media Manager I spend most of my day on Twitter, so I have noticed the recent updates Twitter has made. For instance, quoting a tweet had been such a pain in the past (see what I did there?), not enough characters, weird short links, basically a poor feature with good intentions.

The new format is fantastic. A quoted retweet is essentially posted as an interactive image, using significantly fewer characters while allowing one to easily access the original tweet.

Q: What?
A: See Friendship

The next step for Twitter is to take a note from Facebook (yeah, I wrote it. Facebook.)

There’s a feature on Facebook called “See Friendship”. If you’re unfamiliar, log onto Facebook (in a separate tab to keep this page alive, please, this is all I have), pick one of your friends and click on the ellipses over their cover photo. In the drop down menu, click on “See Friendship”. The feature allows you to see your Facebook history with a person - events attended together, photos taken together, mutual friends, likes, and posts. Feel free to explore…I’ll wait.

Q: I'm back. How?
A: Welcome. A Twittership

Now, think about applying this concept to Twitter, but in a slightly different way. Since you are able to easily follow and communicate with those who don’t necessarily follow you back (i.e. celebrities, major corporations), the ability to “See Friendship” should apply to those relationships as well. You can already see what followers you have in common, but there’s no way to see previous tweets you have directed at other users and visa versa. This application, which I have termed “See Twittership” (yes, I just graduated college), would allow you to see previous Twitter interactions including tweets/replies, favorites, and common retweets.

That way you don’t have to take a screenshot when a celebrity interacts with you cause that’s lame. Who does that, what? Hello?

Q: Hello. Will Twitter pay you for this idea?

A: They absolutely can - @Twitter.

Q: Does writing “@Twitter” while not on Twitter mean the company is automatically notified you have said something to them?
A: …No.

The Bandit Band Member of the Boston Marathon

EricaLeBlanc April 18, 2015 Creativity, Production Leave a Comment

“Hey, didn’t I see you singing a ZZ Top song back there?”

Brendan Cheever is a Framingham local, the owner of Cheever Industries, and a marathon runner, who has had two extremely unique experiences at the Framingham 6 Mile Moment.

“Oh, the Marathon’s coming up on Monday, I think I’ll run it.” Cheever was a bandit runner as a kid, jumping in and running for about six miles before stopping at The Chicken Bone to watch the trained runners go by. He finally got the chance to officially run the marathon in 2013.

Cheever’s oldest son has autism and attends the Nashoba Learning Group out of Bedford, MA. Each year, the school receives bibs for the Boston Marathon and after getting an email about registering to run, Cheever thought, “Well if I click on this now, this is going to change my life.”

He would actually have to train for this marathon.

Aside from bandit running, Cheever never considered himself an athlete, but definitely a musician. He was the front man of Controlled Aggression as the lead singer and bass player for about ten years, performing with the likes of Staind, Nullset, and even Godsmack. As someone with such a passion for music, it’s funny that he doesn’t listen to it when he runs. In fact, he doesn’t even keep his phone with him.

“Everybody thinks because I’m in a band that I want to listen to music when I run, but I don’t like to listen to music when I run. I just like to listen to the birds that you wouldn’t hear if you were plugged into electronics.”

Cheever was unplugged at the 2013 Boston Marathon and enjoyed the noise of the crowd, he high-fived sign-holding family members outside of TJ’s in Ashland as he made his way to the 6 Mile Moment. While running down Waverly street, he knew his friends that make up the band Tester were performing in the MediaBoss Television parking lot and decided to hop on stage with them, “I don’t think they were surprised when I jumped off and jumped up on stage. I sang two thirds of [Sharp Dressed Man] and I was just kind of like, ‘I gotta go!’ And I jumped back on the road and ran.”

Unfortunately, Cheever wasn’t able to finish in 2013 due to the tragedy at the finish line. He and his running buddy from Nashoba Learning Group were almost in Boston when looks of concern began to show on fellow runners who had their phones and spectators, “We had no where to go, we weren’t going to get off the road and hop in our cars and drive away. We just, kind of continued to run, looking for updates from people on the side of the road, or a police officer.” Cheever and his friend safely made it home hours later.

In 2014, Cheever was given a bib for the Boston Marathon from the Nashoba Learning Group again (everyone who wasn’t able to finish in 2013 had the opportunity to run in 2014). Happy to have the rare second chance, Cheever ran down Waverly with his friends and family cheering him on again, this time to the finish. He did, however, make one stop along the way.

“I just wanted to say hello to them, they weren’t even in the middle of playing. When (lead-singer) Tony saw me he was like, ‘Hey let’s do a song!’ and I said, ‘Are you ready?’ and he said, ‘We’ll be ready right now!’”

Cheever said performing with Tester for a second year was a lot of fun, especially watching other runners turning their heads towards the stage and realizing that it was one of them up there.

While performing in the 6 Mile Moment was a huge highlight for Cheever, running down Boylston with the finish line in sight was a moment he said you’d have to experience to understand.

“That last corner was everything, ‘Ah this is what I ran for.’ Everybody’s a rock star in that last ¾ of a mile stretch.”

Check out Brendan’s bandit performance in our highlight reel from last year!

A Roast of Roasters Roasting Roasters

EricaLeBlanc April 01, 2015 Creativity, Social Television Blog, Video Leave a Comment

It was a Roast for roasting Roasters, also Justin Bieber was there.

Is it just me or is the name that follows “The Roast of” just a celebrity endorsement to get millions of people to watch comedians make fun of each other? Now, this is not something I am opposed to, which is why I decided to highlight the best Roasters Roasting Roasters jokes of the night.

Kevin Hart
“Martha do us a favor and put your ankle bracelet on vibrate so we don’t have no problems.”

Pete Davidson
“I’ve been watching these roasts since I was 9 and what’s happening to you Jeff? You look like someone put Seth Rogen in the microwave.”

“Martha’s so old her first period was the Renaissance.”

“You might know Ludacris from your Mom’s ‘That’s What I Call Music’ CD.”

“Let’s give it up for Shaq! Thanks for being here and taking a break from throwing barrels at Super Mario…I’m sorry, please don’t eat me.”

Natasha Leggero
“You know Kevin is actually going to be on the next season of Game of Thrones, he’s playing Peter Dinklage’s shadow.”

“Kevin has a Napoleon complex. Kevin, Napoleon was the leader of France. Ludacris, France is in Europe. Justin, Europe’s a continent. Shaq, a continent is not a free breakfast.”

“When I first met Hannibal I was like, ‘You are going to be a star’ and when I first met Kevin I was like, ‘No, I don’t want to buy a candy bar to support your local after school program.’”

“Snoop you look like Shaq’s skeleton.”

Shaq
“Jeff, how am I the one who played 19 seasons, but you’re the one who looks like he took 20 years of elbows to the face?”

Jeff Ross
“Martha Stewart’s here because Paula Deen refused to sit with this many black folk.”

“Snoop…you look like a retired WNBA player.”

Hannibal Buress
“It’s good to see Comedy Central diversifying its talent with whatever race Pete Davidson is. You just look vague man…I don’t like it. I don’t like your face at all. You seem like a nice person, but when I talk to you I don’t have fun.”

“Natasha Leggero is here, which means right now there’s a bachelor party discovering that their cake is empty.”

Martha Stewart
I would list her jokes, but in true Martha fashion, they are all NSFW.

Justin Bieber came to his own defense at the end stating, “What do you get when you give a teenager $200 million? A bunch of has-beens calling you a lesbian for two hours.”

A special guest also supported the wild ways of the Biebs.

All About That Bass…And Justice For Jason

EricaLeBlanc March 25, 2015 Creativity, Social Television Blog Leave a Comment

All About That Bass singer, Meghan Trainor, is currently on a country and worldwide tour, which has music fans with bass on the mind. It's no coincidence that sound mixer for the 1988 Metallica album ...And Justice For All, has just revealed a major secret about the bass presence, or lack thereof, on the album.

Steve Thompson, has been the center of accusations for the almost completely inaudible bass levels of Jason Newsted for the past 27 years. Fans have gone so far as to remix the album themselves to highlight his performance. In a recent interview, Thompson revealed that it was actually drummer of Metallica, Lars Ulrich, who was responsible. His conversation with Ulrich went as follows, “’See the bass guitar?’ and I said, ‘Yeah, great part, man. He killed it.’ He said, 'I want you to bring down the bass where you can barely, audibly hear it in the mix.'”(Full interview here) Bringing down the bass coincided with bringing up the…drums of course!

You can listen to one of the remixes that provides justice for poor bassist Jason, below.

If you're like me and don't know anything else about Metallica, you may find yourself critiquing it in a different way...it could use a little more cowbell.

Record Breaking: The Best of the Snowmageddon Time Lapse

EricaLeBlanc March 16, 2015 Creativity Leave a Comment

Title-town has done it again, with 108.6 inches, Bostonians have taken to their iPhone 6's to capture time lapse footage of everything this record-breaking 2015 has brought our way.

Here are 5 of the best, and worst time lapse videos we could find on the internet. Your welcome.

The Most Dramatic

[az_video_embed class="" link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZI5cD0F7J4"]
This video shows Bostonians (inches) and foreigners (centimeters) exactly how much snowfall has plagued the city.

The Most Relatable

[az_video_embed class="" link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp9Xf7_9FFU"]
Unless you were "that guy" who left his car to be devoured by Juno and her friends, we can all relate to this driver and his shovel.

The Most Unoriginal

[az_video_embed class="" link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhGDAoQeC30"]
Take your pick, from the title to the Benny Hill theme, this two men, 1 shovel team has ripped its 5k views from pre-existing successes. Regardless, the high-five at the end is adorable.

The Most Depressing

[az_video_embed class="" link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDGaXfEJC_c"]
I'm not talking about their poor music choice, this time lapse is depressing, because the snow covered patio furniture and grill represent the burial of summer and happiness.

The Worst

[az_video_embed class="" link="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW4BDyXOKZo"]
This is the worst time lapse. A video intended to show a dramatic snowfall over 24 hours, filmed under a covered porch. Let's use our heads people.

I Know You Want It: 5 times we thought...is this copyright infringement?

EricaLeBlanc March 11, 2015 Creativity Leave a Comment

Copyright lines can be blurred and it can be hard to know if a song is phareally original or not (I was forced to write that by none other than my own self).

Anyway, here are some examples of that and the true stories behind them.

Queen/David Bowie and Vanilla Ice
Under Pressure and Ice Ice Baby
Definitely Copyright Infringement
To loosely quote Chandler Bing, "Could this be anymore infringed?" Vanilla Ice barely owned up to it and reluctantly paid Freddie Mercury and David Bowie and also gave them writers credit. This should really reflect negatively on Mr. Ice's listenership, but with that said, which song do you think I can karaoke to without the lyrics...word to your mother.

Abba and A*Teens
Not Actually Copyright Infringement
As a teen, I thought myself wise beyond my years recognizing that Dancing Queen was not an A*Teens original and therefore the group was not worth listening to. Come to find out, if my angst-y teen self had done a little research, I would have discovered that A*Teens is actually an Abba tribute band called Abba Teens. That's on me.

Huey Lewis and the News and Ray Parker Jr.
I Want A New Drug and Ghostbusters
Copyright Infringement
These two songs are super similar and were released in the same year. It's especially shady, because Huey Lewis was first approached to do the Ghostbusters theme. This ended up settling out of court. Also, I’m sorry, but have you even heard of the song I Want A New Drug? Who really won here?

Beyonce and Kelly Clarkson
Halo and Already Gone
What?
Already Gone is one of those songs when it first comes on you think it’s something else…Halo. Both songs were written in 2008 and released in 2009, so it’s hard to believe that there was the possibility of Kelly Clarkson ripping off Her Majesty the Queen Beyonce, except…THEY HAVE THE SAME CO-WRITER! Apparently Kelly Clarkson confronted Ryan Tedder about it and tried to get the song removed from the album, but it was already in print. We all know if it was Her Majesty the Queen Beyonce, that song would have been removed from the album after print, and replaced by a 10-15 minute excerpt of her breathing and it would still be number one on Billboard today.

Madonna and Lady Gaga
Express Yourself and Born This Way
Hissy Fit
(skip to around 2:20)

[az_video_embed class="" link=" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pr2gfnmGFK4"]
To innocent outsiders, this looks like a beautiful mash up of two songs with powerful messages done by a less than average baton twirler. In actuality, it's a giant slap in the face to Lady Gaga. Meanwhile, has anyone even bothered asking the "ain't no Hollerback Girl" Gwen Stefani about the marching band uniform, where is the news on this feud?

All of these feuds and accusations are ridiculous, much like Pharrell and his hat, and, like Pharrell and his hat, they have just
Got to Give it Up.

11 Winners The Academy Didn't Have Time to Announce : Oscars 2015

EricaLeBlanc February 23, 2015 Creativity, Social Television Blog Leave a Comment

The Academy Award for…

Worst Part of the 87^th Academy Awards
Neil Patrick Harris: He has won four Emmy Awards for his outstanding performances as a four-time host of the Tony Awards. Last night, we all learned that is not a gig he should stray from. Providing awkward, cliché, and predictable jokes, most of which appeared to upset Oprah, NPH proved that he should stick to song and dance that is written and choreographed for him, as his major success last night was the opening number. That bit with the briefcase was so hard to see. It was like watching a five year old trying to make a dove come out of his hat, but the dove died.

Most Awkward Presenter
Eddie Murphy: He is definitely very upset about something and is taking it out on Sunday night, televised events.

Most Uncomfortable Encounter
John Travolta: This wasn’t on Idina Menzel at all. We must keep our hands to ourselves John.

Most Talked About Snub
Joan Rivers: Are you kidding me right now?! I have a deep, emotional connection with Joan Rivers. She’s my bio quote on Twitter for goodness sakes, I couldn’t be more connected to her! (Side note- follow me @ericaleblanc99 I’m super obnoxious) That woman invented the red carpet, not to mention she had random roles in obscure movies! Shame on you Academy.

Least Talked About Snub
Elaine Stritch: She was a talent that film clearly didn’t deserve. Sure, she only had a few roles on the big screen, but remember when she out-eviled Jane Fonda in Monster-in-Law? THAT DESERVES SOME RECOGNITION! I’m so sorry, I’m just very passionate about this.

Snub That Should Just, Not Be A Thing…Always
Time: We understand that it is only 9:00 in California when it is midnight on the east coast, but it is midnight on the east coast. The show should not end on the beginning of a second day somewhere. That’s absurd.

SNL Appearance (Yes this is a category)
The Lonely Island: This made my little SNL heart light up with joy.

Making Everyone Cry
John Legend and Common: What power.

Wait, What Just Happened?
Lady Gaga: People forget that she can sing. She studied musical theater at a conservatory in New York…for an entire year or two.

Being Julie Andrews
Julie Andrews: Hearing her say “Dear Lady Gaga” in her perfect Julie Andrews voice made my heart smile.

The Bees Knees
Meryl Streep (with assist from Patricia Arquette): Yes go women and equal pay and all that, I’m just happy Meryl is happy.

Our Top Story Tonight: 4 Minute Review of 40 Years of SNL

EricaLeBlanc February 16, 2015 Creativity, Social Television Blog Leave a Comment

I quite honestly don’t know where to begin. I suppose first off, you must all understand that nothing about this post will be neutral. It is coming from a place of biased love and obsession. It will be ranty, unorganized, nonsensical, and to be frank, I don’t care.

Saturday Night Live 40 did everything right, except for the one thing they did wrong.

The first right thing was Betty White. Let’s be real, SNL could have had a 3.5 hour live show with Betty White and her tiny adorable self sitting in a living room chair smiling, giggling, talking about puppy dogs and the 23.1 million viewership would’ve been greater. Side note-she was not the lucky one in The Californians. Bradley Cooper has reached the height of his career with his solid 60-second make out session with the comedic queen. He is #Blessed.

Ugh, I just want to watch it again.

Next up, the remakes. It was amazing for those of us who haven’t seen some of the most famous characters and sketches live before, to watch them come to life during this episode. I’m talking Debbie Downer, Mary Katherine Gallagher, the Bass-o-Matic, Wayne’s World, ESPN Classic, Opera Man, Blues Brothers (Jim Belushi in for his brother), Marty and Bobbi Culp, and so many others. It just gave me chills. I mean Sean Connery? I’m so happy to have another way to offend Alex Trebek.

Subsequently, it was amazing to watch more recent SNL players and guests performing as former characters in past sketches. The most heartwarming impressions were from Emma Stone and Melissa McCarthy as Roseanne Rosannadanna and Matt Foley, respectively. Yesterday would have been Chris Farley’s 51^st birthday. Oh! Something that positively cannot be left out; the Jimmy/Justin Cold Open! There were so, so, so, many references that you’d probably have to watch at least two more times to understand them all. You would, not me.

Jane Curtin, a.k.a. the original ignorant slut, and her bitches that get stuff done; Amy and Tina had a perfect mini Weekend Update moment that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Moving right along, there was just the right amount of flashback content. They showed all of the right montages of classic sketches and funny moments and – OMG THE AUDITIONS! From Gilda Radner to Chevy Chase, Keenan Thompson to Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Darrell Hammond, and Jim Carrey – BY THE WAY, Jim Carrey totally beat Matt Lauer on the red carpet. Lauer backed Carrey into a corner asking about not making it onto SNL because of Al Franken, which was exceedingly inappropriate and childish. SO Jim Carrey totally retaliated by asking Lauer where he was hiding Brian Williams, and it was beautiful how uncomfortable he became.

So you’re probably wondering what was done Wrong. “Yes, I am.” Well the answer is Kanye West. Every reference, joke, performance was utterly disgusting. Stop inflating the ego and notion that he is anything relevant or desired.

But just so we don’t end on a bad note, here is a piece of perfection.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25gLcBgduHk

There is so much more I have to say, but I know a lot of you have already left the page at this point. If you want to fan girl with me or tell me my opinion is wrong, please hesitate or don’t hesitate to contact me.

Buh bye.
