Outtake from the 2009 Holiday Video

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT

As we brainstormed ideas for the 2009 Holiday Card to blur the line between stills and video. We ended up shooting with two cameras side-by-side (as you can see in our behind the scenes video.) But in order to make the dualiecam system work smoothly, we did a lot of testing along the way. I don't want to ruin the surprise, so let's just go to the video.

MOTION GRAPHICS

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

We thought it's about time for us to highlight one of our new favorite capabilities-- motion graphics. We've been dabbling in video (mostly evidenced by our collection of behind the scenes vids showcased here) for some time, but we're really feeling like we're ready for primetime in 2010. Check out our newest reel:

Behind the Scenes: BSS Holiday Greeting 2009

Fri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT

Before checking out for the holidays, we chopped together a quick Behind the Scenes video in case you were wondering how we pulled off our magic stop action moves.

The tools we used include, but are not limited to the following:

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Canon EOS 1D Mark II-N

70-200mm f/2.8 Canon Lenses

Broncolor Grafit A2 power packs

Generic Cheese Puffs

Enjoy!

Although we uploaded The Upside Downy Face Original Series photos to our web gallery, we thought we'd throw them up here for even easier access. Included are the 12 images shown at the Tin Can on Friday night, plus the other 8 images that we couldn't fit into the space.

Upside Downy Face: The Movie

Sun, 06 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT

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.
