The Nadas - Long Goodbye Music Video

We just finished putting the final touches on the music video we made for The Nadas. Due to the band's busy tour schedule, we only had about a half of day to shoot them, so we had four cameras rolling on every take. The storyline was shot later (also in one day) on location. All footage was shot with Canon 5D Mark IIs and 7Ds and Canon glass.

Check out The Nadas' newest album, Almanac, on iTunes.

 
Mandi also got some great behind the scenes stills that you can see after the break.
UPDATE: We've added more BTS stills from the farm location, courtesy of James and Steve.

Now Playing: Springfield Airport TV Spot

We're happy to announce the first project with our new director/editor/beachcomber Tim Wilson is now live. If you happen to live in the Springfield area, you can catch it live on the air in HD. If you're outside the area, you can watch it right here.


The spot was created entirely with still photographs (we edited from over 190GB of them), some of which were enhanced by Tim's post-production powers. Keep an eye out for our next installment, we're planning on getting cozy with Tim, we're setting up a little session to get to know the man behind the motion graphics.

Upside Downy Face: The Movie

For those of you at the Upside Downy Face Gallery Showing on Dec. 4, you may have noticed that our behind-the-scenes video was on Mute-- we couldn't bear the cacophony of the film's soundtrack battling the DJ skills of Mr. Jim Harper. But now the video is live online, for all to see how many times Brandon botched his intro lines.

And don't worry-- there's lots more to the Upside Downy Face multimedia experience-- lots and lots of pictures from the gallery showing will be up soon.

cheers.

Now Playing: St. John's Mercy TV Spot


Not too long ago, our friends at Waylon Advertising approached us with a very unique project-- to create a 30-second TV spot from still images. To add a little spice, they also noted that we would be shooting on location at the nursery at St. John's Mercy Hospital (read: limited production access), and that we would need to turn around the images (we'd need hundreds of stills to fill a 30-second spot) in less than a day.

Now Playing: Behind The Scenes of Greg's Exploding Martini shoot

Over the winter, Greg put together a pretty killer book shot we called "The Exploding Martini." Over the summer, we put together the behind-the-scenes footage so you can get a glimpse of what went into this complex production.
 
Enjoy.

Now Playing: Obi's Big Day

Not too long ago, Jon brought in his beloved poodle, Oberon, for a pet food shoot. Obi was alongside 20-some other dogs photographed as options for the food bags.
 
Although Obi didn't make the final cut and get his mug in pet owners' homes all over America, he did get a full spa treatment. Too bad he didn't think it was as fun as we did.
 
enjoy.

Now Playing: Sherry's Last Day (aka "Sherry gets Balloonified")

Friday marked the last day in the studio for Tom's trusty production assistant, Sherry. She decided to move on to a job that was closer to home, and that would give her an opportunity to handle more baby poop.
 
So to send her off, we wanted to fill her office to overflowing with babies, but when we realized that was cost-prohibitive and potentially in direct violation with many state and federal laws, we decided to use balloons instead.
 
The following is a chronicle of the festivities. No babies were harmed in the making of this film. Several hundred balloons, however, were totally harmed.
 
More photos and a fancy video after the jump.

Now (Re-)Playing: Behind the Scenes of "The Paintball Office" Photo Shoot

After hitting a couple of snags with some music licenses, we're re-releasing the paintball office video with a new soundtrack, courtesy of yours truly.
 
If you haven't seen it yet, give it an ogle-- this video was picked up by blogs all over the place, netting us over a hundred thousand YouTube hits and making it our most successful video yet. Every time I make a new video, I think about how the paintball video set the bar. It was a semi-enjoyable nightmare to compose a new soundtrack for this video, so let us know what you think.

Now Playing: A Behind-The-Scenes look at Greg's Italian Food Shoot

Now that you've seen a few videos showcasing Brandon's work, we thought we should show you how Greg's food shoots go down. A half day of shooting, two food stylists, an assistant, a photographer and two bottles of wine later, you get an in-depth look at what what it takes to produce a portfolio-worthy photo by Greg Stroube.
