Excited to see this poster out in the wild - designed by our own Darlene MacNeil! Through tragedy and triumphs, TEENAGE HEAD truly embodies the unstoppable spirit of rock n roll. ❤️🤘 Feeling grateful to be a small part of this historic event.

In 1974, deep in the steely bowels of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, 4 teenage boys discovered their own sound and never looked back....

50 years, after congregating in that cold cement block basement, TEENAGE HEAD is jubilant in announcing their 50 Year Anniversary Homecoming Show on April 6th 2024, at Carmen's in their hometown of Hamilton, On.

Join this iconic Canadian Band in celebration of 50 years of ROCKIN YOUR WORLD !

'With great pride and a lot of bittersweet memories, I am looking forwarding to being on this stage with Dave, Gene and Trent...and being able to share this night with you all !
WE'RE STILL ROCKIN IT LADDIES !'

Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
- C.S. Lewis

In addition to keeping a clear conscience, there are other great benefits to maintaining integrity in your personal and professional life.

Here’s our top five motivating factors when it comes to professional integrity:

1. Legal Compliance: B2B projects require a lot of ethical considerations regarding trade secrets and other information that we could be apprised of during the process of content development. This is something that is covered in contract and is taken very seriously by everyone involved.

2. Workplace Culture: Creating a positive and supportive work environment, and setting high ethical standards helps to foster trust with our colleagues. This boosts morale and productivity, while contributing to a healthy work environment.

3. Networking: People are more likely to collaborate, partner and recommend individuals and businesses who consistently demonstrate honesty and integrity. By maintaining this reputation, we create opportunities for professional development.

4. Client Loyalty: Building lasting relationships with your clients is far more valuable than constantly searching for new clients. A strong, trusting relationship with clients pays off in the long run.

5. Personal Fulfillment: By consistently acting ethically, we take pride in the fact that our professional values align with our personal values.

At the end of the day, we all must live with the choices we make. Having a strong moral compass to guide those decisions is something that costs nothing, but consistently pays off.

I'm hiring a Videographer, why do I need a Producer?"

A script for video production is, in it’s most simple form, a structured document that effectively communicates the key messages and objectives. Consider it a blueprint for your final deliverables. Let’s explore what script writing means when it comes to video production.

Objectives: Define the purpose of I the video. Consider what message the company wants to convey, who the target audience is, and where this video will be shared.

Structure: The introduction has to grab the attention of the viewer immediately, followed by the main content, and concluding with a strong CTA. Depending on the video’s length, and the platform it is created for, you may want to consider segments. In this case, you’ll want to be sure to keep things well organized, ensuring that each segment is defined with a clear beginning/end.

Narrative: Use a conversational, engaging tone to help maintain interest throughout the video. Even if there are no speaking parts, the language used in the animated text should have the tone that suits your messaging and brand. When it comes to text animation, tone can be developed through use of fonts, colour, and motion.

Dialogue: Don’t over-complicate the message with complex language or industry jargon. Keeping it simple will not only help with engagement, but it will likely save you time and money!

Visual & Audio Cues: What kind of background music would be most appropriate? Do you require a voice over actor to enhance the video’s impact? What kind of brand assets should be used throughout the video to maintain consistency? What are the brand guidelines?

Revise & Refine: Review the script with the stakeholders, and make sure to eliminate unnecessary content. Ensure the length of the script will fit within the time constraints of the video without losing clarity. Try to remain flexible throughout the revision process. Listen to input from stakeholders and the production company to ensure that the final video effectively conveys the desired message.
