Amidst the daily changes in the wake of COVID-19, we’re partnering with our clients to come up with innovative solutions to keep our industry moving and production alive. This week, we produced a live-action tabletop shot for a campaign for a national insurance brand--but we had to get creative to keep the safety and health of everyone top of mind. The creative director supervised the set virtually via Google Hangout, a limited on-set crew included a photographer, producer, digitech and prop master and the location was shifted to an indoor skatepark that would allow for proper distancing between individuals, who were wearing gloves and regularly sanitizing the equipment.

We know there is a long way to go, but we know it's essential right now to work together as an industry to help people stay employed and keep creative inspiration alive.

Everyone Welcome Twix! Some feedback about our new SuPUPerviser for the Alkemy X VFX team: “He's SuPUPervising my "tracking" and doesn't understand why I'm not using my nose. Definitely going on my performance review under inability to multi-task cuddles while making those "tap-tap-click" sounds, which also interrupt his naps.” -Joe Grossman
