A new game in town

We have started a new post-house facility concentrating, right now, on sizzle reels, pitch presentations and short-form content for producers seeking high-quality and professional product on a budget, with fast turnaround and full-service capability (from development through delivery, including production and post-production services) provided by a seasoned creative team of producers, directors, writers, editors, on-air talent, composers and graphic/CGI artists.

We are also planning to invest in a state-of-the art software program that enables producers and clients to collaborate in the most efficient manner possible: a platform that provides a superior alternative to the standard ftp site used for posting content for review and notes. This program eliminates technical problems associated with large files by significantly reducing compression time & includes an intuitive notes system for producers to collaborate in virtual real-time and giving the producer/editor team more time on the front end to polish their work for presentation.

If you have a great idea for television or web content, we can help you produce the most creative and effective sizzle reel or pitch presentation for your dream project.

Here’s a poll that will help guide us in how to best accommodate clients’ priorities.

The company is called Post-Modern Productions, based out of Raleigh Studios in Hollywood. Website forthcoming.

PEACE on earth, GOODWILL to everyone!

>>> PEACE

Merry Christmas, for those of us who celebrate this holiday, and happy holidays for everyone who celebrates anything during this time when we reflect on the year past, enjoy the present moment for what it is, and give thanks for all the good on earth. We have a beautiful planet, with so much hope for better things done by mankind, and this day marks the birth of hope and love and peace and gathering forces to do good works.
Happy birthday son of God, a mortal man in the end, who said the same thing over and over — try to love one another.

Joy to the World!

Times Square and All that Jazz

Times Square looking magical.

What I do for a living…

Hard to explain, but I visualize (pre-visualize, orchestrate, execute and/or implement depending on the situation) content for broadcast tv, web feeds, oral history archives for time capsules for aliens and aspiring screenplays on a few subjects near and dear to my heart.
Then there is poetry, one chapbook ‘Chimera’ from 1994 I think. Next is ‘Reading the Water’ in the making, scattered at the moment.
Film called ‘Work.’ Sitcom called ‘Beat the Clock.’ Video game infrastructure for rebuilding your life, like a helpful interactive explosive potential sim city.
Lastly, multimedia installation collaborations.
Photography.

At any point in time, we could conceivably ourselves become a refugee, yet look how this woman is peaceful among plants.

I like this artist’s work.

Space to think

Work+Space=Creativity

I particularly like the guarantee of ‘impromptu brainstorming’ – wouldn’t it be nice if space could conjure creativity?

I took a skills-aptitude test, can’t remember the name, as part of a career goal seminar back when I was 25 and the two things I was supposed to be were: architect and model maker. I also had the attributes of an army officer.
