As Dia De Mu***os celebrations come to an end, check out Gio's ofrenda, an altar built in the family home for the occasion! It includes some items, foods, and vices our friends and family liked, as well as Cempasuchil (marigold), Camote (candied sweet potato), Mandarinas (mandarin oranges), and Tejocote (a sweet fruit in syrup). We also put pictures and candles, papel picado, and burn Copal, incense to guide them to us on the day of the celebration. We left out salt, water, tequila, whiskey, and beer... The journey to the land of the living is thirsty business!

"As tickets go on sale, the Festival, in partnership with Goodby Silverstein & Partners New York, is introducing a fake streaming website promising free access to their film line-up. Seeding the faux streaming site across the web, the activation is designed to lure in curious movie pirates and offer them free tickets instead - revealing them for what they truly are: movie fans."

Happy #BlackBusinessMonth! Throwback to an incredible spot we did last year with Logitech celebrating Allyson Felix, the most decorated athlete in Track and Field. Outside of the sport, Allyson is a mother and an advocate for black women's maternal health. She recently retired from the sport but seems pretty busy with entrepreneurial endeavors such as her business, @bysaysh, motherhood, and advocacy in an increasingly dangerous time for reproductive health, especially amongst childbearing people of color. Black Business Month was established in 2004 to call attention to the millions of black-owned businesses in the US. The best ways to do this are to increase the visibility of black-owned businesses in your community, be intentional about your purchasing, write and share reviews, and seek out black business owners when planning networking events.

Throwback to one of the coolest spots we've ever worked on for John Deere with Landon Knoblock! After an initial creative meeting on this project, we realized it was going to need some special attention. We worked closely with the agency, production company, and John Deere to head down to the Georgia plant. There we spent 2 days recording the sounds of machinery, tools, and tractors. We brought all of this back with us, and worked on creating the soundtrack you hear on the film. After the film was shot, we worked closely with editorial to rework the track and get everything aligned just right so you get the musical spot you see here. . . . . . #duotone #weareduotone #audiobyduotone #producerlife #musicproduction #beats #musicindustry #musicstudio #recording #recordingstudio #mixing #producermemes #producelikeapro

Our fam at @vmlyr called us to put together the score for this latest @delltech spot entitled ‘Cursor’. It focuses on the belief that there is an innovator in all of us. We wrote this one with @landonknoblach and @rosshopman as a pre-score, based on the script and the idea. Love it when a good musical pov takes shape from the early stages. Edited by @jaredcoller and with agency music producers @theresamusicofficial and @aliexallen18 and the whole Dell creative team, this was a blast. Thanks too, to @raemcdonald of @biscuit.filmworks and @tomjucarone of @soundloungeny, as well as Justin Ebert, Bobby Jacques, @best.wayne, and Niraj Zaveri of VMLY&R. . . . . . . #recording #recordingstudio #mixing #proaudio #audioengineer #streaming #studiolife #producerlife #musicproduction #producertip #audio #musicproducer #producer #productionexpert
Every day is a day to rise. We're super proud of our work with CHROMISTA with the awesome Dennie Gordon directing this beautiful, difficult, tortured, and inspirational story for Montefiore Health System highlighting cancer survivor Barbra Higgins. The song is a rearrangement of the John Denver tune 'Sunshine On My Shoulders'. "If I had a day that I could give you, I'd give to you a day just like today".
Heidi Montag caused quite an uproar when she announced S1INGLESJEANS, jeans meant to only be worn once.

Thanks to the community for bringing us on for such a fun and important project.
