New Exhibit "Following Their Roots" open S'edav Va'aki Museum (formerly Pueblo Grande Museum)!! We are grateful to have been able to play a small part in this new exhibit with our craft of storytelling through interviews from respected members of the Local Tribal Communities.

If you haven't been to the S'edav Va'aki Museum, (formerly the Pueblo Grande Museum and Archaeological Park) now is the time! It's cooling down and this museum is a must see for locals and visitors alike, where you can see a platform mound and centuries-old irrigation canals that are from the valley's first ancestral Indigenous Communities.

The Quantum team and worked together during Golfshot GPS’s journey to becoming the #1 golf app on the market.

Like most Apps, this means we worked in tandem with the development of many of the new features while creating videos to illustrate them. One key challenge was some of the feature refinement continued right up to the day of releasing it and the video had to be ready on launch day as well, so we worked with that in mind, ready for changes up until the last minute!

A prime example of this collaboration is our work on the Swing ID function, a groundbreaking feature enabled by the gyroscope in the Apple Watch. While the Golfshot GPS team had a clear vision of how it would look and function, we were tasked with creating the accompanying video in advance of release. This meant not only comprehending the technology but also building a video framework that could seamlessly incorporate refinements and adjustments, ensuring a synchronized launch on the App Store.

Thank you, Alex Flores and Kyle Schomer! Working with your team was so much fun!

“Passion is a key differentiator for the Quantum Leap Team. Their hard work, creativity and endless pursuit of innovation in their field have provided us with exceptional content that highlights our products. I'd recommend this team to anyone!”
