Book recommendation: Atomic Habits by James Clear.
.
Key idea: To create a good, sustainable habit, make it obvious, make it attractive, make it easy, make it satisfying.
.
Additional takeaways: Small changes make a big difference; recognize the power of compounding effort; reframe challenges, so they are personal.

Personally, this book has helped me restructure my editing workflow so that I am more productive, more efficient, and less stressed. I apply the lessons in this book to my business everyday and how I operate both in the field and in the studio.

Though it might pain you to hear this, it’s time for your business to start a TikTok channel.
.
The platform has become a powerhouse, not simply from an entertainment perspective but as an influential marketing and branding tool. The platform’s algorithm is unmatched in providing a constant stream of personalized content to its users. Other social media channels like Instagram and YouTube are changing their approach to video in a desperate attempt to keep up.
.
In addition, as reported in The New York Times*, “the video app is increasingly a search engine, too. More and more young people are using TikTok’s powerful algorithm — which personalizes the videos shown to them based on their interactions with content — to find information uncannily catered to their tastes. That tailoring is coupled with a sense that real people on the app are synthesizing and delivering information, rather than faceless websites.”

According to a study published in Behaviour & Information Technology, "visual appeal can be assessed within 50 milliseconds, suggesting that web designers have about 50 milliseconds to make a good first impression." (https://bit.ly/3RUd0Gn)

Simply put, keep it simple and make it beautiful. In a fraction of a second, your potential customers should be able to get a sense of your brand, values, competency, and if you can be trusted. These things come down to design, flow, branding elements, language, and copy (to name a few).

After being in the field for nearly 3 months, I’m finally back in the studio. Though I love location shoots, the comfort and control of being on set has its perks: cameras aren’t overheating, bears aren’t staring me down, bugs aren’t eating my skin. And there’s endless coffee. ☕️

This year’s song festival at was outdoors next to the new creative arts building. With beautiful, open skies I was able to launch the drone and get a different perspective of the event. What a perfect setting for song, dance, friendship, and celebration.

Flying the drone, for me, is about more than creating an aesthetic, it’s about seeing where we fit into the larger world that surrounds us. We can’t be in several places at once, but with the help of the drone we can capture that experience and appreciate it.

LCFS Report Animated Explainer Video

The final cut of our new animated explainer video produced for Stillwater Associates is live!

We used After Effects to create the motion graphics and Illustrator and Photoshop for artwork and design.

The video was created to help Stillwater Associates market and promote a new online product and is being distributed across their digital channels to build awareness.

Secondary Animation

Secondary animation is an essential principle in motion graphics and animation. Secondary animation has many vital roles:

• support the primary animation
• add more depth to the scene
• emphasize key visuals, concepts, themes, movement, sounds, etc.
• bring more life to the scene, or “make it pop.”

In this shot (narration has been removed), note the leaves coming out of the smokestacks – a subtle visual cue that reinforces one of the main themes of the video – and the wind turbines spinning. These secondary animations make the scene more exciting and help support the video’s core message.

Media Bros Explainer Video, Form and Function

Great storytelling, filmmaking, and editing go beyond the literal interpretation of the script.

Coloring outside the lines prompts viewers to engage their imaginations and explore alternative concepts and ideas.

I have always believed that the best thing you can do before you start editing is throw away your script, untether yourself from the confines of the page and let the magic of post-production take the story where it needs to go.

Capturing beautiful footage is only one aspect of creating an impactful film. In the editing suite, the story comes alive, and the emotional ties to the audience are built.

Have fun. Take risks. Tinker. Experiment. Get creative. Share your work and ask for feedback.

The Grammar of the Edit is an excellent book for understanding the power of editing and honing your skills.
