One Giant Leap for Mountain View When the John F. Kennedy Space Center wanted to increase visitor traffic at the venerable tourism destination, they selected MMGY Global, the largest and most integrated travel marketing firm in the world, to assist. MMGY, formerly Ypartnership, tapped Mountain View Group as their production partner, a union that has produced award-winning campaigns for Panama City Beach, St. Johns County CVB, and Indiana Live! in the past. This time they’d hit the heights with a new television campaign for the monumental Space Center.

The commercials, which celebrate the power of space and science, echo the mantra “One Day,” illustrating that anything is possible. “The spot gives a nostalgic look at the past, while focusing on the limitless possibilities of space travel in the future,” said Stephen Pruitt, executive producer for Mountain View Group.

Working with Pruitt were Mountain View’s director, Tom Gliserman; producer, Kris Johnson and production manager, Rich Roginski. They worked with senior creative director Rob DeLuke and creative director Mark Sunderland from MMGY Global.

Mountain View’s membership in the International Quorum of Motion Picture Producers (IQ) helps them deliver around the globe for their clients. The global network of trusted filmmakers exists as a forum to share knowledge and resources for international productions. This time, their IQ connections helped them give back.

Amnesty International approached IQ to partner on the new “One More Voice” campaign to raise awareness and further the cause of human rights issues around the world, including ending racism, poverty, oppression, and the need for education. IQ filmmakers, coordinated by executive creative director Robin Raj of the agency Citizen Group in San Francisco, were asked to produce scenes culturally relevant to their country and thematically tied to the goals of the Amnesty campaign.

The “One More Voice” campaign focuses on the power of collective voices to fight for a cause. Calling on the international reach and quality of the IQ organization membership, the production process embodied that same collective theme, with scenes shot all over the world. Academy Award winner Meryl Streep lent her voice as the narrator of the spots, and Oscar winners Hans Zimmer and Lorne Balfe composed an original score for the commercial. The spots are being released to commemorate Amnesty’s 50th anniversary fighting global injustice and promoting human rights.

Along with executive producer Stephen Pruitt, other Mountain View volunteers included director, Jack Wallis; producer, Kris Johnson; production assistant, Jeff Holmes; cinematographers, Nick Hiltgen and Tom Pritchard; and sound recordist, Adam Jones.

A Camera for Your Thoughts Atlanta Celebrates Photography (ACP) is pleased to announce that Kayla Baskin, a 17-year old recent graduate of Central Gwinnett High School, has won the ACP High School Essay Contest and a Canon Rebel digital-SLR kit.

From Kayla’s winning essay: “With my camera, I would capture pictures to tell my story. I would go back to visit my hometown. Benton Harbor is such a small town, so small that it literally has one high school. That town has so much history, believe it or not almost every single adult in my family was born and raised there, and attended that same high school. However, when I lived in Michigan my family faced so many challenges and overcame so many obstacles that people don’t know about; life wasn’t always easy. With my work, I want to tell my story and let it be a testament of certain things me and my family went through and overcame.”

ACP gives a big thank-you to Jack Brassell, for his kind and generous support of this year’s contest, and to Jan Fields from the Showcase School for her generous support of this year’s winner. If you’d like to donate a gently used digitalSLR kit for this initiative, please contact ACP.

Skate It or Hang It!?

After 18 months of planning, June saw the opening of “Skate It or Hang It!? – The evolution of skateboard art” at the Museum of Design Atlanta (MODA). The three-month exhibition focuses on a broad spectrum of artists from the skateboard world, showcasing their works and backgrounds.

It includes a chronological retrospective of skate deck art from its genesis in the 1970’s to present day, a skate deck manufacturing display, interactive displays allowing visitors to “Pick A Trick”, and for the headier crowd, subtext focusing on the paradigm shift in skate art subculture from independent artist/skater relationships to international scale skate “corporations” with laser focused brand imagery.

The exhibition includes original works and opened with appearances by legends such as Steve Olson, Lance Mountain, Sean Cliver, Andy Howell and Michael Sieben. Father of skateboard art Wes Humpston of DogTown fame and Jim Phillips, the mastermind of Santa Cruz imagery, also contributed works to the exhibition.

Part of the story of the exhibition is how skate art influenced many of today’s artists and culturally revered skaters themselves. Charlie Owens, a Tennessee-born, Atlanta-based artist working as an art director for Turner Studios showcased multiple pieces in the exhibition.

Open until September 16, Skate It or Hang It!?, in its simplest form, is a celebration of counter-culture art; punks, scribblers and skaters who inspired a generation of kids that are now the art directors, designers, and producers of the things we all see on television or buy during a trip to Target. The exhibition title asks a simple question, are the graphics on the board meant for thrashing out in a session or as a canvas akin to a Bob Ross landscape of happy trees on your wall to enjoy? Simple enough, but taking a deeper dive into the exhibition and you will quickly see, this art was not intended for museum hum-drumming yet it feels quite at home in the confines of an institution of higher art forms.

The Happiness Machine

For two days in June, Ground Floor Video (GFV) surrounded the Atlanta, Georgia World of Coke vending machine plaza with seven hidden cameras and microphones to capture the surprised faces of customers as they purchased a Coke. This was the third in a series of Happiness Machine hidden camera shoots that are taking place around the world.

The unsuspecting customers purchased a 20-ounce Coke, but random patrons also received prizes including hats, baseball gloves, picnic baskets, flowers, cupcakes and even a Coke bicycle. The delightful sounds of whistles, applause and music accompanied every prize, thrilling all those around when prizes poured out of the machine. So far, the Happiness Machine videos have received over two million hits on the internet sending viewers on the hunt to find one of the Coke Happiness Machines themselves. The World of Coke Happiness Machine in Atlanta

will be in operation through the summer of 2012 and will randomly offer prizes to unsuspecting customers.

“The Victoria Jackson Show” now calls GFV its post production home.

Complete with whacky comedy skits, former SNL star Victoria Jackson is tackling the most important political issues of the day and using comedy to get her point across. Jackson’s show includes guests, music and even her dog. Watch Jackson on the internet at The Victoria Jackson Show.

Active Parenting just wrapped production on a new video, part of the “Teens in Action” series. Dr. Michael Popkin, along with two young hosts, teaches teens how to deal with life’s difficult situations. Green Screen and graphics make the lessons interesting and fun to watch.

TUBE Creates Falling Skies When TNT finished developing “TNT Presents: Falling Skies the App” they immediately turned to Tube for an instructional video to guide users through its functionality. After the success of similar videos for other apps including TBS, TNT, and the “Big Bang Theory,” Tube felt confident that they could recreate the functionality of the app in an entertaining way that viewers and fans could relate to. The project included three videos: one for tablets, one for smart phones, and a :15 promo for the app that is a combination of the two.

Starting with nothing but a script and layered Photoshop files of landing pages, Chris Downs, Tube’s owner and creative director, got to work creating styleboards for the 2:00 videos. Downs started by constructing an environment for the tablet and smart phone devices to live in. Since the environment was his main avenue of paying homage to the established brand of the show, Downs incorporated elements frequently seen throughout the series: lens flares, flickering lights, and green smoke.

Downs also oversaw freelancers Dominic Maschler and Daryl Myers in their reconstruction and animation of the app’s user interface in After Effects and its incorporation with the tablet and mobile devices in Cinema 4D. Meanwhile, Tube’s Greg Partridge worked with TNT senior producer Nick Pride to find sound and video clips from the show to act as accents in the interstitial portions of the tutorial. The excerpts aided in the pacing of the piece, providing it with the momentum and context it needed to keep fans engaged.

The mobile and tablet versions of the video are at the Falling Skies website. TNT Presents: Falling Skies the App is available through the app store. The second season of Falling Skies premiered on June 17th.

“Pass It On” Takes Top Honors “Pass It On,” a movie trailer created by Craig Miller Productions has won best of category for the U.S. Army projects, and claimed the top award in the Visual Information Production Awards category, part of the Department of Defense’s Communicators of Excellence Awards Program. When Bill Bauman, US Army Electronic Multimedia Specialist, approached us with this creative idea, we knew it would impact a lot of people. At Craig Miller Productions, they truly believe that there are very few callings in life that are more important than protecting and honoring the men and women who defend our country.

Prime Time for Affix Another big thrill for Affix Music as they placed Yac-Yan Da Biznessman’s song “Good Good” in ABC’s hit sitcom “Don’t Trust the B in Apt. 23”. TV placements can be a core component to the success of urban music makers. Within just days of the “Good Good” placement, new fans sparked a social media wave, including a fan-created YouTube video.

Which is to say, it boosted the artist’s online presence significantly. Congrats to Affix and Yac-Yan.

A Summer Christmas Gift In December of 2011 Georgia Public Television aired the onehour holiday special “An Atlanta Celtic Christmas Concert,” produced in partnership with The W.B. Yeats Foundation at Emory University and Jayan Films Productions. This summer the program received a Southeast Regional Emmy for Outstanding Achievement, Television News and Program Specialty Excellence, Arts/Entertainment.

Jayan Films Director, Stacey Fitzgerald, worked with a great group of people to create this beautifully filmed Christmas concert: James Flannery, Bob Judson, Ciaran Flannery and Aaron Ruschetta. Emory’s Schwartz Performing Arts Center was the backdrop for the live concert. The venue, combined with the musicians’ personal “Celtic Christmas” stories and inspirational music, make this special a holiday must-see. Fitzgerald noted: “It was a pleasure working with such an amazing production team. James Flannery has produced this beloved holiday show at the Schwartz Center for 18 years. His compelling and original vision, along with the performers involved, has provided unending inspiration.”

The concert is slated for international distribution and has been produced as a DVD with additional special bonus items.

Anywhere, Anytime Create. Manage. Serve.

Crawford Media Services’ revolutionary archiving and management solution for in-production workflows and legacy media.

By Gary Powell

I

n an iconic scene from the 1967 feature film “The Graduate,” a successful but over-bearing businessman corners Dustin Hoffman’s character with words of advice about the most potent future business opportunity. The mentor looks him directly in the eyes and gives him the keys to material success with these words, “Plastics. . . .

There’s a great future in plastics.”

Actually, you are on Crawford’s cloud; it’s computing in the cloud.

Specifically, data files are transferred to massive, technically sound servers assembled and run by Crawford engineers (see sidebar). Content can be quickly accessed and managed from anywhere through The Digital Library’s organized and visually appealing interface using nothing but your web browser.

Crawford Media Services has a new set of keys. This business success won’t be built out of plastic. No surprise, it’s built out of the digital language of 0s and 1s. The future is: media asset management. Or, in the words of Crawford’s recent brand makeover: Create. Manage. Serve.

They use the superhero of the digital age. It’s metadata. Put simply, it’s data about your data.

For 30 years, the various Crawford-branded companies have given media and production clients the most creative and cutting-edge ways to acquire, manipulate, manage and distribute film, video and digital media. Within their top-notch facilities and client-centered environment, Crawford clients always expect the best creatives to produce and post their projects with access to bright and approachable engineers who solve acquisition or distribution challenges. And all of them working with an eye toward “what’s next” and “where is it all going?”

Well, where it’s all going is to the new services rolled out by Crawford Media Services: The Digital Library.

Still a post house? Sure. Crawford continues to offer the most complete range of post production services in the region, comparable to the best in the land. The “Create” part of the equation rolls on: editorial, VFX, design, interactive, stereoscopic 3D, animation, color correction, sound design, ADR, composition, authoring . . . it’s all still there and on task.

What has changed is the “Manage” and “Serve” part of the equation.

Now, everything you have ever shot, and every media file you will ever acquire, will be available to you anywhere, anytime. Crawford’s new Digital Library will give you more efficient workflows on current productions. And, it will breathe new life into all the reels, tapes and hard drives lining your production library walls.

THE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE WORKFLOW The drive to create episodic TV or feature films . . . efficient, visually appealing, mass-consumed, money-making machines . . . demands an efficient work flow. Most of the work flows now are file-based, digital files transmitted via FireWire and transported on hard drives. Wrangling these massive data files requires lots of organization. Thus, the rise of the digital imaging technician (DIT).

For these work flows, Crawford’s Digital Library is a project management and post production tool. Data is available to producers, directors and editors anytime, anywhere. Your administrative and management time and effort shrinks. The focus on the creative side is on the rise. You are on cloud 9.

Tag, catalog and describe every shot, every scene, and every angle you’ve lensed. Once you tag it, you can find it. Adding categories, keywords and descriptions make finding specific content immediate.

Multiple lightboxes allow selected clips to be grouped and arranged in preparation for the edit suite. An advanced player tracks timecode from the original source material. Transcripts can be imported in addition to jumping to any location within a clip . . . with timecode associated notes. Proxy clips with title, description and timecode notes can be exported to Avid and Final Cut Pro editing systems while preserving source timecode for later conforming. The Digital Library keeps your content organized and immediately available throughout a project.

Holding that umbrella drink and not in the mood to type your keywords? The SoundSearch feature phonetically finds words and phrases without entering tags and keywords.

Now you’ve found and tagged and retrieved the perfect shot. What to do now? How about a direct export to Avid, Final Cut Pro, and Premiere Pro. The library also supports XDCAM file structure with metadata. You can download proxies with source timecode for editing on your laptop.

Later, conform to your high resolution files, the files that are stored safely in Crawford’s digital archive.

Michael Lucker is the CEO of Lucky Dog Filmworks. He’s worked with the best of the best in Hollywood, and he’s back home in Georgia looking to create mass-consumed, episodic content that he can call his very own.

He and his company are working on a pilot for TV. Working for the green light means showing networks or distributors that Lucky Dog can create. As important, Lucky Dog has to show they can “get it in the can” at a good price, maximize ROI . . . return on investment. Of the Digital Library, Lucker says, “A remarkable tool that totally accelerates the post process.

We wouldn’t want to do a show without it.”

It’s not just “in the can.” It’s online, right now, ready for a producer and director to mark it up and fix it in post.

And fix it in post with a pack of engineers and software developers backing you up.

OBSOLESENCE IS OBSOLETE For large institutions with massive amounts of archival media, Crawford Media Services also has an entire division focused on digitizing and preserving legacy assets: film, tape, CD’s, DVD’s and hard drives. In a nutshell, Crawford’s Digital Library provides mass digitization of obsolete video, film and audio from over 35 legacy formats. Digitized media is stored in a secure digital archive. Your archive is accessible any time, anywhere with a web-based portal for simple media asset management. Custom-tailored metadata, data tagging strategies, give clients an intuitive and elegant search and retrieval tool.

Which is all a fancy way of saying that a Crawford client can hop on the web and find that scene with the cute cat you shot on 1” tape 30 years ago and get it on YouTube pronto. Or, monetize it. A lot of important, historically relevant media is living in the old formats. Your very own stock footage service is in the cloud . . . and a click away.

From Lance Kelson, VP of product development and services at Crawford, “We unlock your content and its value, enabling you to preserve it, monetize it, protect it, and keep it available for generations to come.”

Maybe starting your own stock footage library is not in the cards. But, digitizing and securely storing valuable media is essential. All the legacy formats, film, tape, CD’s and DVD’s, face inevitable obsolescence. Time is not your friend when it comes to preserving any legacy format. All tape has a half-life, or worse, so digitizing to tape is only delaying the agony.

And it still leaves media prone to disaster, natural or man-made . . . or self-inflicted. Waiting for degeneration or disaster and then attempting to recover media is hugely expensive, not to mention risky; possibly a one-way trip to data oblivion. For all media managers, archivists and librarians . . . it is much more cost efficient to be proactive and digitize now than it is to wait for the inevitable and then attempt to recover lost media.

In the words of Steve Davis, COO of Crawford, “In 30 years, Crawford has purchased just about every piece of film equipment and video tape recording device that has ever been made.” And they’ve held on to this legacy equipment. Davis continues, “We have a full staff of dedicated engineers and software developers that allow us to digitize legacy assets safely, cost effectively, and do it in a way that funnels that new digital content into a framework that makes it highly useable for production and distribution.”

But if the unthinkable does happen, Crawford Media Services offers data recovery solutions that are renowned. With the usual first-class customer service, creative talent and approachable engineers, if the problem is solvable, it will be solved.

FIND YOUR KEEPERS Everything you will shoot, everything you’ve ever shot, is now ready for any production with a file-based workflow. Your files are stored safely in the cloud. Crawford’s Digital Library makes the process of finding stored media fairly straightforward. A web browser is all you need to access your data . . . anytime, anywhere. That’s where it’s all going. h

FOR THE WONKISH Wondering about the guts of a media asset management system that allows users to manage media files anywhere, any time? It starts with a secure and accessible data center, a logical evolution of what Crawford has been doing for 30 years.

Rows and stacks of servers intertwined with miles of highspeed cable attached to the information highway.

Or, more specifically: Fully redundant, failsafe power.

Efficient cooling infrastructure requiring a fraction of the energy of other data centers.

Cooling the servers themselves instead of cooling the air in a cavernous warehouse is the green thing.

Triple-redundant biometric security system.

Fast and multiple fiber connections.

Carrier neutral with multiple on-net providers.

Path diversity over protected fiber.

Backbone rated 6.2 Tbps.

Designed for 99.999% uptime.

Part of Metro Atlanta’s Ethernet backbone.

HITRUST certification targeted.

State-of-the-art contained aisle design.

Quintillions of bytes of info and the bandwidth to access that data.

Reduced cost of connectivity by building on a multi-10 gigabit backbone.

And the best part for the not-so-wonkish: experienced senior engineers assigned to each account.

Part one of a three-part series focusing on production companies in Georgia that are getting the green light.

T

elevision and the web are becoming one, and the lines are continually blurred between branded content, webisodes and TV series. Several local production companies are successfully riding this wave. They know that it takes wide open storytelling and fascinating characters to draw an audience, no matter what content form it’s in or on what device it is being viewed.

Each of these companies understands the “pitch process.” They are all smart enough to know that “you never know.” That is, you may pitch three really great ideas and one not so great one to a network or an advertiser, and sometimes they will go with what you thought was the not so great one.

The individuals that make up the companies profiled here bring a wide variety of entertainment, advertising, film, web & TV production experience to their respective teams. And, they are good at getting the green light.

CRAZY LEGS PRODUCTIONS Crazy Legs Productions (CLP) is a leading creator of non-fiction television and is a full-service film, television, commercial development and production company with offices in Atlanta, New York and Los Angeles. The cornerstone of the company is its commitment to cinematic storytelling, whether that story is 30 seconds or 90 minutes, with specific focus on television, branded content and documentaries.

The Crazy Legs core team consists of Tom Cappello, executive producer; Allison Troxell, line producer/head of production; Alana Goldstein, VP of Development-L.A.; Kelly Hefner, VP Development-NYC; Scott Thigpen, VP of Branded Entertainment and Chris Higgins, director of visual effects and animation.

They are represented by Creative Artists Agency (CAA) in LA and NYC and have been a CAA client for two years now. Agents have become a necessity in the non-fiction TV world over the last few years. It’s been crucial for the Atlanta-based company’s success and growth. Being a CAA client has provided instant legitimacy when they walk into a room at any network. Once their foot is in the door, their brand as cinematic storytellers and their good-humored nature gets them to the green light.

For the Crazy Legs team, there are two types of pitching. For established clients, they’ll often send just a handful of log lines to get a read on what the networks are responding to and buying. The other way is to find a world, a character or a host and put together a 2-3 minute sizzle reel with a two-page treatment. “At the end of the day, you need to have video for development execs to respond to, and that is the only way something will get to air: great video,” says Cappello.

have four new shows on additional networks,” says Cappello. “THAT is our cinematic storytelling, our empathic voice, our edit pace, our strong characters and our insistence on staying true to our subjects and their worlds.” One network exec recently said, “I am going to be keeping you busy. You bleed for our projects.” Says Cappello, “And he is right, we strive for much more than that tired look and feel of so many non-fiction TV series.”

With a powerful combination of documentary and entertainment experience not commonly found under one roof, blue chip companies like UPS, Chick-fil-A, BB&T, Thomson Reuters, Coca-Cola and more tap CLP to create branded content. Recent projects include a series of spots for “The Today Show’s Summer Concert Series,” an advocacy piece for the International Campaign on Human Rights in Iran, an image video for the Measles Initiative, and creative development of a new viral ad for the relief agency CARE. Crazy Legs recently produced a feature documentary, “A Powerful Noise,” to bolster the worldwide women’s empowerment movement. Shot in Bosnia, Vietnam and Mali, it premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was released in theaters nationwide. During the production, CLP came to see how especially good they were at parlaying a difficult situation into something better. “We were on our third leg of a three month production. On the first day of filming in Bosnia, our main subject, whom we had scouted successfully for (at least we thought) says, ‘Okay, so we are done?’ And we had 17 more days of shooting left to go! So you’re in Bosnia with an uncooperative main subject and what do you do?” says Cappello. So they adapted, which they feel is another strength of theirs.

They made their B character, Nada, into the main character. “It was one of those ugly moments that turned into the most fortuitous moment. And the film is better because of it,” says Cappello. “A Powerful Noise” is now available for viewing on Netflix, Hulu and iTunes.

Producing “Hidden City” for Travel Channel provided the team with more than enough opportunities to laugh. While filming the episode on San Francisco, they met with Harvey Milk’s campaign manager, a gold miner who had to be convinced to get in the water with their host, and a reporter who talked to them about the “straight-ifacation” of the Castro District while a rainbow flag the size of Texas was flying over his head. All of these scenes were humorous and brought to light a new angle on San Francisco and its infamous citizens. “What made the episode come to life even more was spontaneously throwing our host, Marcus Sakey, onto a zip line over the Embarcadero. It set the theme for the show, seeing this city from a different angle so nicely, while imbuing our Travel Channel show with a little travel excursion. We always look for ways to add adventure to our shows while staying true to the story theme”, says Cappello.

Other CLP productions include: “Track Rats” for Cartoon Network, a series for the DIY network and a one-hour special for MSNBC. Crazy Legs is currently producing “The Kevin Michael Connolly Project” for the Travel Channel, new projects for the Cooking Channel and Investigation Discovery, with four new projects in development for the Travel Channel. Also in production is their latest documentary about the African Children’s Choir, showing that once you are successful for your clients, you can green light your own projects.

Many of the networks want big characters, authentic worlds and massive stakes. If you have that then you are good to go. What they do not want is … earnestness!

What Crazy Legs has learned over the years of doing pitches for the networks is to “get to the point.” Compare your show idea to other shows to give them a visual and thematic reference. And when they are sold or taking it to the development team, be quiet. Don’t talk yourself out of a sale.

Crazy Legs considers big visuals and big emotions as a few of their unique attributes as storytellers. Like their shows or not, you are going to feel something after you are done watching. “This year at the RealScreen conference, we showed our reel to twenty plus networks and they all said, ‘How do we get that on our network?’ And now we www.ozmagazine.com OZ MAGAZINE

behind the camera w/ drew props

Before the rise of the Internet and cellphones smaller than a pork roast, before email and eBay, prepping a movie was an entirely different affair because you didn’t have the world at your fingertips. Well, actually you did, but those fingertips had to do some walking through an enormous alphabetized list of businesses that had been printed on yellow newsprint and left on your doorstep when you weren’t at home. We called this thing “The Yellow Pages” and everybody in the world used it whenever they needed to find a plumber, or a florist, or just about anything else because Google DID NOT EXIST!!! srsly.

That great big yellow book was invaluable and was one of the very first items distributed when a production office was being set up. I still remember PAs walking through offices, flinging brand new telephone books onto our desks and in just a few weeks those books would be dog-eared, covered in doodles and filled with bookmarks. Decorators and propmasters would take their telephone books with them while they were out shopping, and more than a few Yellow Pages would disappear from payphone booths. Remember kids: this is the way things worked before the iPhone™. And you know what? It worked!

We found the stuff we were looking for, and movies got made.

Sometimes a person would misplace their own telephone book so they would “borrow” one from someone else’s desk in the production office. My friend and propmaster Joe Connolly took to writing “STOLEN FROM PROPS” with a big giant marker all over his newest set of Yellow Pages (yes, they sometimes came in sets). And Joe meant “stolen”, because those books were valuable tools. If you worked on a show in another part of the country you’d take that city’s Yellow Pages home at the end of the show because it increased your “database” of contacts.

Joe had a saying that, “If you can’t find it within 6 phone calls it doesn’t exist,” and in those days that was pretty much the case.

One of the few things you knew you wouldn’t find locally were places that specialized in making fake newspapers and fake money, because there’s not a lot of demand for the former, and the latter will get you 10 to 20 in Federal prison. No, for those things you had to turn back to the mothership: Los Angeles.

When I first began working in the motion picture industry, back in 1991, a large majority of propmasters and set decorators in the United States used a company called Earl Hays Press.

22

OZ MAGAZINE www.ozmagazine.com

Known simply as ‘Earl Hays’, this company was a good source for most any printed item you might need on set. From fake magazines and newspapers, to adhesive-backed labels (called “wraps”) for making fake liquor and beer bottles, to paper wraps for fake cigarette packs, Earl Hays had you covered. The only downside of ordering from Earl Hays was that some of their material looked as if it had been designed in the 1940s, which was quite possible because the company had been in business since 1915!

We appreciated the convenience of Earl Hays products but we dreamed of being able to create our own labels. The problem was that the techniques for creating labels were still laughably rudimentary in the 1990s, partly because we still thought in terms of using photocopiers and dry-transfer rub-on lettering – a technique left over from the 1960s. More importantly, we were supposed to be prepping a movie, not designing labels.

Things have changed significantly over the last 20 years. Earl Hays is no longer the only supplier for product labels in Los Angeles, and may even now be considered a 2nd tier source for prop graphics. More significant has been the rise of the embedded graphic designer on productions, and that’s what I really wanted to talk about for this issue of the Creative Index: What does it take to make a living as a graphic designer in the motion picture industry?

To be a “normal” graphic designer you have to have artistic talent, you have to understand composition, you have to be able to work to a deadline, you have to be able to work with people with extreme personalities, you have to know how to measure things, you must possess an understanding of the history of graphic design, you should probably check to make sure you’re not colorblind and that you’re a fairly decent speller, and most importantly you have to own (and preferably know how to use) the goshdarn software!

To be a good Motion Picture graphic designer you also have to understand how to design pieces “for camera”. If you’re working independently, not embedded with a show, you have to operate with the mentality of a doctor, in that you’re always on call, because there are always last-minute emergencies. And you’d better be a wizard at shipping, too, because it’s a bad day if your magazine cover doesn’t arrive on set in time for a scene.

Be sure to find a reliable output house and develop a collaborative relationship with their output team because those are the people who will help you solve all the seemingly impossible problems that will get thrown your way by a crazy director or a wildly impossible location. Chet Long, a senior account manager with Meteor LLC Atlanta, recently explained how he’d once “fired” a graphic designer because they consistently provided poorly crafted files with incorrect measurements and then had the audacity to berate him on his prices. His company was so busy producing material for other film projects that he was able to encourage that designer to seek another vendor.

Don’t let this happen to you!

DOLLARS

By 2001 there was a convergence of affordable illustration software with a rapidly growing “library” of seemingly free photographic material on the Internet. The same studio system that had so jealously guarded its own products through the years suddenly found itself facing copyrightinfringement lawsuits due to a widespread ignorance of copyright law among the design community hired to make graphics for films and television programs.

A few studios provide graphic designers with access to a stock photography library, but that hasn’t been the trend with projects shooting in Atlanta and as a result Lisa also finds herself organizing impromptu photo shoots for the pieces she produces. It’s a lot of work and while she’s good at it, she can’t charge the clients additional fees for her photography.

Perhaps the biggest challenge Lisa has faced is how much she can charge for her expertise, because many Unit Production Managers harbor an insultingly parochial view of the abilities of anyone who isn’t from Los Angeles, especially the South. Faced with the list of respected Designers and Art Directors who recommend her, UPMs often still press her to take a lower rate.

I recently had a similar experience on a television pilot and when it became clear that I wasn’t going to take less than the industry standard rate we were able to strike a deal.

My negotiation tactic was that I honestly didn’t really want the job in the first place, which is hardly typical.

More often you find people who are hungry for work, looking to build a resume, or simply ignorant of the D E S P E R AT I O N rates that they should be charging. I’m aware of several instances (just this year) in which movies hired talented people As result of those missteps, legal clearances for fonts and images for a surprisingly low rate, and those people were given minimal are now a regular part of the paperwork chain that motion compensation for the rental of their expensive equipment and picture graphic designers must deal with and the requirements are only becoming more stringent. I once had a shouting match software. I’ve recently learned of one person who worked prep (uncharacteristic for me) with a lawyer for a studio for which for free, simply to add a high-profile movie to their resume.

I’d created a website to be used on-camera. Their writers never provided me with the promised copy to be used on the website and they ended up shooting the scene using my placeholder text. Not only did I not receive additional compensation for my original text, they also wanted me to indemnify their studio against any legal claims pertaining to that text, which I refused to do because that wasn’t our original deal. In the end I forced them to re-write the agreement. Studios expect their designers to be more prepared than they ever were in the past, and that’s not a bad thing: it’s just business.

My friend Lisa Yeiser has a booming business as a graphic designer for television shows and feature films, with clients all around the country. Several years ago she had a similarly frustrating experience regarding “broadcast friendly” fonts, and it became expeditious for her to purchase an expensive studioapproved font package so that she could stop dealing with legal departments and get back to the business of design.

This devaluation of the services doesn’t only apply to graphic designers and it’s not limited to Atlanta. It’s happening across the country and includes illustrators, storyboard artists, set designers, art directors and other art-generating crafts that fall under the auspices of the Art Department. Unless you belong to the Art Director’s Guild (IATSE 800) and are an Art Director, the studios have no contractual minimum rate that they are bound to honor, meaning that local unions are helpless to assist these people in their negotiations with producers, and a smart UPM will take advantage of hunger and insecurity every time.

So what’s the fair solution? Well, the first thing is to stop accepting low rates, and if you don’t know what a fair rate is, ask somebody (but probably not a UPM). Stop thinking of other artists as rivals and start thinking of them as colleagues. Talk to each other on a regular basis and find out how to negotiate a fair rate for yourselves because right now all you’re doing is competing with each other in a race to the bottom. www.ozmagazine.com OZ MAGAZINE

Rage Against For the Machine A shooter by any other name . . .

DSLR photographers & videographers expand their repertoire.

OZ MAGAZINE www.ozmagazine.com

O

nce upon a time, in the early days of the twenty-first century, adding high-definition (HD) video to digital single-reflex cameras (DSLR) was aimed at attracting more consumers to the latest replacement for still photography and 35-millimeter film. But DSLR has taken off in a totally new direction, drawing professional filmmakers and former videographers who use the still camera body to produce documentaries and other projects.

DSLR cameras incorporate the high quality of HD video with the flexibility and lower cost of a still camera. While originally aimed at the consumer market, DSLR has taken off with professionals. Over the past few years, an increasing number of filmmakers have turned to DSLR cameras to shoot documentaries, independent films, music videos, television shows and even parts of some high-budget features.

Professionals who work with DSLR and are adding them to their filmmaking inventories say the cameras are popular because they deliver high quality images at a relatively low cost. However, while DSLR does provide a low-cost entry point into the video world, the cameras also come with their own set of challenges, as our experts outline below.

Frank Zamor

Broadcast video sales, Showcase Photo & Video

still trying to catch up – although the new Nikon D800 “is getting a lot of attention.” While the Canon 5D Mark II started the trend, the Canon 7D is better for shooting video and costs less, Zamor continued. “The 5D has such an oversized chip that it’s not as easy to work with, whereas the 7D closer to 35 millimeter film.

However, there are some issues with the cameras. “It has horrible audio capabilities; you should only use it as a reference track,” Zamor explained. “We suggest using a separate audio recorder, then syncing audio to video in post-production.”

For lenses, Zamor suggest following the feature film approach of using three lenses: 35MM, 50MM and 85MM (or similar sizes).

“If you can only buy one, get the 50MM.” he added. Later you can add a 35MM for establishing wider shots, and the 85MM for close-ups.

Documentary makers may also need: a shoulder mount to steady the camera and an alternate viewfinder. “It’s hard to focus the camera using the small {LCD} screen on the back of the camera, so an external monitor or a larger viewfinder is helpful,” Zamor noted. DSLRs also have limited recording times, “but feature filmmakers are used to dealing with that.”

Someone buying the full package – camera, shoulder rig, audio recorder, monitor or viewfinder – will probably spend close to $5,000. “You can get by without a shoulder rig or viewfinder on the cheap, but they make shooting easier.

Zamor said. “I wouldn’t even try it without the separate audio recorder.”

While the use of DSLR for video has risen for the past four years, “we might be on the downside of it,” Zamor added. “A lot of video cameras are adjusting to the full-frame sensor, which is what people are looking for -- the shallow depth of field. You’re not going to shoot the action on the field at a football game with a DSLR.” Still, DSLRs are being used so much for video that some people have forgotten their original focus. Zamor said that someone came into Showcase with a Canon 5D and “talked about how he uses it to shoot video. Then he asked, ‘What would you recommend to use as a photography camera?’ People forget this is also a still camera.”

Bob Undi Jr. Sales Associate, Professional Photo Resources

High quality at an affordable cost is the main reason filmmakers have turned to DSLRs, according to Frank Zamor of Showcase Photo and Video. The camera “allows you to get a shallow depth of field plus incredibly good quality. It costs $1,600 for a Canon 7D. The Red sells for about $8,000, but you’ll spend close to $20,000 before you turn it on.”

The trend to use DSLRs to shoot moving images started about four years ago “with photographers realizing they could shoot a wedding and get video with the same camera.” Zamor explained. Then “we started seeing more interest on the filmmakers’ side. Now, 70% to 80% of the people who walk in with a DSLR are doing video as well as still photography.”

In addition to documentaries, DSLRs are being used for music videos, low-budget features, and commercials. “Even high-budget films are using them as crash cameras,” Zamor noted.

Canon was the “first to the picnic”, he said, and other manufacturers are www.ozmagazine.com OZ MAGAZINE

cover story “DSLR has turned the industry on its ear,” said PPR’s Undi.

“It was basically the end of videographers as we knew them.

It died when DSLRs were able to shoot video because you didn’t need $10,000 video cameras anymore. You have these simple point-and-shoots with better glass and different options, and they can do still or video.”

Beginning with the Canon 5D Mark II, DSLRs offered the ability to blur the background. Undi said. “With an interchangeable lens system like the DSLR, your possibilities really opened up. You were suddenly able to shoot what you wanted as long as you had the lens.”

Undi agreed that cost is the main factor driving the DSLR trend. “If you want something to look like film you’ll go with traditional cameras,” he said. “There are some things you can only do on the Red” or more expensive traditional cameras. But DSLRs meet a number of needs, providing high-quality video at a substantially lower price. “Since 2008, when the Mark II came out, it has been a completely different work space and different people,” he added.

For documentaries and independent films, the 5D Mark II has become the “go-to” camera, Undi noted. Some people are beginning to convert to the newer Canon 5D Mark III, he continued. “But the Mark II really opened up the door. You can spend $2500 for camera and a couple of lenses, add audio, and start filmmaking for less than 10 grand.”

Undi noted a number of uses for the DSLRs, such as numerous hip-hop music videos being shot in Atlanta. “For documentaries, even a lot of high-end production houses are using DSLRs,” he added. “It’s so much smaller that they can mount it on the hood or the side of a car. High-end filmmakers are using it now for a lot of specialty stuff.”

Allen Facemire Director/DP; Picture Window Productions

Facemire, who shoots the “Mega Dens” show for the DIY Network, has used Canon DSLRs for other projects and has shot documentaries with traditional cameras. For example, on a CBS-TV movie last year in Atlanta, he shot “the title and opening sequences on a Canon 5D, and rest of it on a Sony F35.

On the next season of “Mega Dens,” Facemire plans to use a new Nikon D800 DSLR “which I will start incorporating into that workflow. The Nikon has overcome the obstacles Canon had introduced. The 5D just some has technical issues that make it cumbersome for my style of shooting.”

“There is no question that cost if the biggest factor” favoring DSLRs, Facemire said. “The Canon 5D runs around three grand without a lens. A video camera with the same quality would be about triple that.”

The Canon 5D and 7D have done for video business what DV did for the industry some 20 years ago. While introduced as a high-end consumer camera, he said, DV “morphed into HDV, which became the standard for small-budget films, documentaries, and sometimes commercials.”

Today, Facemire said, the Canon “shoots high-resolution videos with what we’re looking for – a shallow depth of field, which means the lens and sensor are closely aligned. When you do an interview, the background is easily thrown out of focus, and you get that film look. That’s been the ‘holy grail’ of video.”

Facemire said he decided to order the Nikon D800 because it is “being highly touted as a still camera that really got it right. There are several things Canon has issues with: it doesn’t have a time code; you can only shoot 12 minutes sustained at a time; you’re not able to dual record or use an off-board recorder.”

Also, Facemire continued, “Ergonomically, it can be difficult to use a DSLR because it’s a still camera. It’s not made to hold for 5-10 minutes at a time. It’s like trying to shoot holding an eight-pound bowling ball.”

Add lenses, extra batteries, and so forth, and the price for a DSLR rig can hit $10,000. “But for that price, you’re still getting top quality, so you just need to be able to work around those things.” Major movies such as the recent “Act of Valor” Navy SEALS drama have used the cameras successfully, he noted.

Facemire said he frequently uses the $300 GoPro camera, “sort of a hybrid between a Canon 5D and a full-blown video camera.” He noted he has three GoPros and use them on every episode of “Mega Dens”. “For one thing, it does great time lapse photography. It’s also small enough for some really cool point-of-view shots.”

relatively inexpensive,” he said. While “you can spend some money” adding accessories, he noted, “it still doesn’t take a lot to get started with it.”

In addition to the cost factor, “I think a lot of people are going with it because of the depth of field you can achieve,” Ruggles said.” That’s especially better for interviews.”The 7D is not ideal for “run and gun” situations, he said, but works well for documentary-style projects.

Ruggles said most of his work is corporate but “documentaries are what I like doing.” He has mainly used the 7D for interviews. “I plan on using it for documentaries going forward, that’s part of the reason I got it.

The audio quality and lack of multi-channel capacity “is a bit of a downside,” Ruggles acknowledged. “For a sit-downer, I might want a boom mike for one channel, but I would still want to send it to another channel as a backup.”

Also, while the image quality “is great for the cost,” focusing “can be an issue. With the small LCD on the back, it is never going to tell you if you have the right aperture. You might be 1 to 1-1/2 settings overexposed.”

He added an external monitor can alleviate the focus challenge.

Ruggles also noted the Canon 7D “would be handy for a cinema verite-type thing.” A full-sized rig might be more intrusive during a shoot. Also, “You might not have permission to use a big camera, but on a small production, you might get away with more using the 7D.” However, he added, “That’s not what I why I would use it: the image quality is exceptional.”

Ruggles said he has recently added the Canon 7D to his inventory at 7th Wave. He has mainly worked with the Panasonic HDX200, but also used the Canon 7D when shooting with other production companies. “It’s

Everything I Love about Design...

I Learned in Business School.

By Bob Fisher

28

OZ MAGAZINE www.ozmagazine.com

I loved graphic design for most of the fifteen years I practiced it.

Early in my career I believed, as many young designers do, that design has immense power to move people . . . perhaps to change the world.

Over time, the world taught me otherwise.

Project after project, I saw my cherished ideas bastardized by committees of clients who “didn’t get it.” It seemed that every new prospect asked me to justify my fees, even when I felt my estimate was low. I wasted hours trying to explain the difference between “good enough” and great design to clients who couldn’t see it and didn’t want to pay for it. They had tough questions: what made my firm different from my competition? Why should they pay more for us than for another firm?

They questioned how design had a direct impact on their priorities . . . namely, the competitive position of their companies and the health of their bottom lines.

Over time I developed answers to all of these questions, but they sounded hollow and I never felt confident giving them. I was stuck in the role of order-taker rather than partner.

I looked down on my clients for their lack of creative vision and their unwillingness to invest in great design. Eventually I came to resent their emphasis on everything other than how their marketing pieces looked.

I saw them as obstacles to doing good work.

It took becoming a client for me to realize that I was the one who didn’t get it.

In the mid-2000s I enrolled in the graduate marketing program at the Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University and became the director of communications at a private school. In the evenings I studied for the same degree held by most of my former clients. During the day it was my job to hire and direct designers, writers, and interactive developers rather than be hired to provide those services to others.

At Georgia State I entered the strange world of accounting, finance, economics, business analysis, securities law, and market research. I was surrounded by smart people who spent their careers creating spreadsheets rather than logos. My background as a designer did little to prepare me for challenges like understanding business strategy and perspective of a senior manager. I had to learn a new way of looking at problems, a new vocabulary, and a new set of tools to solve them.

Eventually I learned to see, speak, and think as my colleagues and classmates did. I developed an insider’s perspective and began to understand business problems at their core.

I realized that my training as a designer had obscured my vision. I was used to looking at everything through the prism of a designed object.

Art school, awards annuals, and conference presentations by design stars paid lip service to solving business problems, but aesthetics took priority. Only when I let go of seeing through the eyes of a maker could I actually absorb the lessons of business school.

And then I found that something was missing from my newly adopted world.

Business students work on a whole lot of case studies, business plans, pro bono consulting engagements, and PowerPoint presentations.

Many students worked for Fortune 500 companies and incorporated real-life projects into their coursework. They developed intricate plans for new lines of business that could have been worth significant amounts of money. Their market research, financial models and business analytics were airtight.

Inevitably these students would attempt to sell us their ideas in brutally boring PowerPoint presentations. Like, I-want-to-dig-out-my-eyesand-run-screaming-from-the-room PowerPoint presentations.

If they planned the launch of a new consumer product, they offered nothing to help me envision the new brand. If they presented data, it was inevitably stuffed into dense tables. They had great ideas, but no way to make them seem real. They had restricted and ineffective language in which to connect with their audiences and inspire support.

It was then that I saw the transformative potential of design. It brings form to ideas in a way that no spreadsheet can replace. It is the voice through which business can speak eloquently, clearly, and persuasively.

And it is the voice that is usually missing when most needed.

By the time I graduated, my perspective on both business and design had changed dramatically. Now I see they are inextricable.

Without comprehensive business knowledge, design is facile and superfluous—but without design, business cannot bring its ideas to life.

Visually Desirable

By N ichole B azemore

They delight, frighten, entertain, invigorate, and captivate.

Most of all, they make us wonder, How the heck did they DO that?

They are graphics and motion graphics designers, arguably the formidable, “one-two punch” behind some of the biggest brands, TV programs, feature films, video games, and other productions around. With just one click of a thingamajig (they make it seem so easy, don’t they?), they open doors to parallel worlds and universes where the impossible becomes possible.

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on inside the minds of the folks who create this stuff, look no further; you’ll get a sneak peek, right here.

In the pages that follow, some of the most prominent players in the graphics and motion graphics design industry in Atlanta spill the beans — not about how they do what they do, but why. Read on to learn more about the people, tools, and ideas that motivate and inspire some of the most creative souls on the planet to make life for us all a little more animated.

OZ MAGAZINE www.ozmagazine.com

Superlux

Motion Graphics This premier design agency and production company uses motion graphics to bring some of the world’s biggest brands to life. Credits include TNT-Latin America and Coca-Cola.

Name and title: Mark Falls , Creative Director Has worked in the industry since: 1977

Graphic artists I admire and why:

Bill Mayer. I was fortunate to work with him at my first job out of school, at Whole Hog Studios. Tibor Kalman hired me to work at M&Co, which got me to New York and exposed me to hundreds of other influences.

The most amazing thing about Bill is his insight. He has a great, mischievous wit and a deep understanding of what makes us tick. Bill’s ideas are always perfectly wedded to technique.

Visually, there’s an elegant roughness that sometimes lurks below the gloss, and sometimes takes over the image, depending on the medium or which of his dozens of styles he’s worked in.

Excerpt from Cinema à la Carte “Battle” graphics package for TNT Latin America.

Mickey Dubrow, producer

Tibor was an iconoclast. What I admire most about Tibor’s work is the dynamism — there’s a continual tug-of-war between text and image, text as image, image as text. He got right to the heart of the conundrum and the magic of language as a visual experience.

Best advice I ever received: Bill’s advice was to trust your humanity and let that be the foundation of your work. And to work fast. Tibor’s best advice was to look for inspiration outside the industry.

Biggest inspiration: Life is full of inspiration, but collaboration is what drives the best work. Fortunately, motion design, animation, and production are all team endeavors, so there’s a lot of inspiration to go around.

Adventurous clients are a special source of inspiration. Nothing fuels creative inspiration like a challenge from a client who wants to be surprised and entertained.

My must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons”: After Effects, Final Cut, Cinema 4D, cameras, note pads, Prismacolors, Sharpies, and ballpoint pens. If we have a secret weapon, it’s color theory and a love of other disciplines: printmaking, architecture, fashion, writing, filmmaking, music, and art history.

Tube

Broadcast Design/Motion Graphics A post-production boutique, Tube specializes in design-driven editorial, motion graphics, broadcast promos, and corporate image work. Client credits include UPS, The Weather Channel, AT&T, UPS and more.

Name and title: Chris Downs , Owner/Creative Director Length of time in the industry: 18 years, 12 of which have been at Tube, which I founded in 1999.

Graphic artists I admire and why : I once met Stefan Sagmeister after seeing him speak at ProMaxlBDA and was really inspired by his approach to creativity and rejuvenating that sense of excitement and passion about design.

A still from Tube’s recent work on an app video for the TNT series, “Falling Skies.”

I admire that his work doesn’t always start with someone sitting at a computer and designing comps. The process is more organic, more tactile.

Best advice I ever received: Stefan’s advice was to start spreading your retirement years earlier into your career. Basically, every seven years take a year off and go do something completely different. The theory sure sounds nice.

Biggest inspiration: Truly loving what I do is a great start. I always say that I’m very fortunate to have a career where I basically get paid to make pretty pictures, work alongside very talented people, and for clients who have all become good friends.

My must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons”: Is a ping-pong paddle considered a technological tool?

Rival Industries Motion Graphics

Specializing in 3D models and animations, Rival Industries’ work transcends multiple industries, including architecture, medical, education, and more.

Its client list includes AT&T, IBM, The Georgia Aquarium, Georgia Institute of Technology, Ichiban Records, and many others.

Name and title: Jeff Weese , CEO Length of time in the industry: Since the late ‘90s. During most of the 2000s, I’ve been involved in rich media development.

Graphic artists I admire and why: I have always liked Stefan Sagmeister. I

got to spend a day with him once. We had dinner at Veni Vidi Vici. He was super-insightful and pretty down-to-earth. Early in my career, I got to work with Frank Dreyer. He and his brother, Dave, are essentially some of the most prolific media artists I know. Frank really put me through the paces of the production cycle.

The Virtual Woodruff Arts Center, Phase 1, 2011.

This immersive 3D virtual world is part of an education initiative to both engage users in the arts and enable folks from all over the world to visit the Arts Center virtually.

Frank is an incredible typographer. I think his focus on communication and a great sense of spatial relationship made the most useful impression on me. He introduced me to everyone from Joseph Mueller Brockmann to David Carson and Vaughan Oliver. Those are early impressions I still draw from.

Biggest inspiration: The people I work with. The best thing about my job is the intense level of collaboration that goes on.

My must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons”: The studio does a lot of work with Softimage and Unity. Lately though, I’ve been using a sketching app called Paper. It is super-basic, but really great for capturing ideas quickly.

I recently completed a project where about 50% of my work was done with an iPad in my lap! It’s a great feeling to be able to sort of be unplugged but still have direct, digital access. That’s really the trend for me.

Mindzai Creative Graphic Design

What started as a recording studio has evolved into a full-service design studio and print shop. Today, Mindzai Creative’s team of in-house designers creates all kinds of visual delights, from logos and signs, to posters and flyers, to stickers and t-shirt designs, and more.

Name and title:

Scott Weathermax , Owner

Length of time in the industry: Since 1996, but we’ve been doing graphics work since 2000.

Graphic artists I admire and why: Some of our biggest inspiration comes

from guys like Chris Conn, Britt Turner of One3 Graphics, Keet D’Arms at Southern Star Tatto, Dave Kruseman, from Olde Line Tattoo, R. Land, and Limited edition mailer includes 3-D Glasses, 1 inch buttons, King Gorilla. We’ve also learned a lot about letter forms, color, and balance temporarytattoos- Designed & Printed at from Atlanta graffiti artists, like Speak, Gozer, and Dust. Gozer and Speak Mindzai Creative Studios in Atlanta. have some of the sharpest, clean, legible, balanced lettering we’ve seen, but it’s still so artistic and creative. Dust also has incredible lettering, but it’s his art and drawing style that just blows your mind every time.

Best advice I ever received: Never give up, because the day you do is the day you would have made it. We’ve also learned that it’s all about consistency, so, for better or worse, stay true to who you are and be consistent with what you do.

Biggest inspiration: Seeing the reaction on a customer’s face when they see their idea come to life. There’s a great deal

of personal satisfaction in being able to take a kernel of an idea and build it into a finished product. Plus, no two projects are ever alike. We could do 20 business card designs in a day and the experience and the end product are always different because our customers and their ideas are so different.

My must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons”: Wacom pad and Illustrator hot-keys/shortcuts. Customizing

your keyboard shortcuts will save your life!

Mindzai Creative owner Scott Weatherwax takes some time out to get up close and personal with the models during a recent photo shoot.

Primal Screen Digital design

This award-winning digital design firm has produced work for some of the biggest brands and most recognized names in the world, including Disney, HBO Family, and Animal Planet. The company’s work appears in various platforms, such TV, film, the Web, environmental media, Interactive, film, and mobile devices.

Name and title: Doug Grimmett , Founder Length of time in the industry: 35 years

Graphic artists I admire and why: Tibor Kalman, who taught me to appreciate the power of design to shape and influence the world.

Another mentor was Lou Dorfsman at CBS, who established a fantastic creative culture by hiring a diverse group of individuals from different countries and backgrounds. He established very high standards for the work. The mix of influences kept the work fresh and the high standards made it great. The culture and values of Primal Screen are the result of what I learned from these men.

Best advice I ever received: Kalman said, “Graphic design is a means, not an end. A language, not content.” That is a very important concept, and even more relevant now with the multi-platform, electronic media of today.

Primal Screen’s New Company Poster

Biggest inspiration: Giving something to the end-user or reviewer; useful knowledge, an

engaging experience, entertainment and emotional connection. Hopefully, a bright moment in their day. Also, there’s the joy of creation and growth through discovery.

Must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons”: Caffeine and smart devices.

Plump Pixel

Graphics/motion graphics You can tell by its name that this company’s graphics design work is juicy. A creative, post-production shop, Plump Pixel supplies the graphics firepower behind several projects for Pixar, Disney, Universal Pictures, Cartoon Network, and Adult Swim.

Name and title: Edgardo Santiago , Owner, Designer/Animator Length of time in the industry: 1991

Graphic artists I admire and why: Saul Bass, Herb Lubalin,

Evert Brown, and Stephen Silver. Evert was one of my animation teachers at the Colorado Institute of Art. An Emmy awardwinning animation director for the Charlie Brown TV specials, Evert showed me the magic of frame-by-frame art. He also helped me see what the human eye misses.

An upcoming in-house animation called “GED,” which follows a comedic trio through the universe in their attempts to understand planet earth.”

I worked alongside Stephen Silver in 1993. He was an incredible character artist, but had not yet created Kim Possible. Silver taught me to practice every night. He said that as long as you keep practicing, your drawings will always get better.

Best advice I ever received: It’s very difficult to change what you’ve been trained to do, but becoming a true artist means that you must always try

to find your own style.

Biggest inspiration: Altruism. I’m inspired by others who act selflessly, and show pure sacrifice, without expecting payment, rewards, or fame.

My must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons: Adobe’s Flash is a powerful tool for

animators. We often use vector-rendering plugins for 3D modeling applications, allowing you to render traditional style animations to Flash from 3D models at any angle. It renders frame by frame — you’ll never have to draw those frames yourself. It’s a definite time-saver and a big win.

Grant Design Collaborative Graphic Design and Branding

The design strength behind companies such as Geiger International, Georgia Museum of Art, Goin’ Coastal, Georgia-Pacific, and Herman Miller, Grant Design Collaborative helps clients create brands, as well as powerful imagery.

Name: Bill Grant , President and Chief Creative Officer Length of time in the industry: 25+ years

Graphic artists I admire and why: Early

inspirations included Michael Bierut and Milton Glaser. I have always been a huge fan of the intelligent and multi-disciplinary work of Charles and Ray Eames. Most of all, I am inspired on a daily basis by my creative team at Grant Design Collaborative: Matt DeFrain, and Elizabeth and Kurt Seidle.

Best advice I ever received: At the first AIGA design conference I attended,

Brand and Web Design created by Grant Design Collaborative for J+J/Invision Commercial Carpet

Milton Glaser was the closing speaker, and he ended by saying, “Never forget that great design has the ability to change the world!” That was the moment I became a designer, and I still believe this statement is true.

Biggest inspiration: I love a good challenge! My best work comes from being pushed outside my comfort zone to explore the best and most wellinformed solutions to a design problem. In addition, I am a huge advocate of collaboration, and my best work is always a team effort.

My must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons: The typical includes Adobe Creative Suite, and the internet now gives us access to many secret weapons. It is easy to find inspiration anywhere on the web; from YouTube to design blogs to HYPERLINK “http://www.aiga.org” \t “_blank” www.aiga.org, designers have access to a bounty of creative ideas. In addition, I enjoy and follow design trends outside of communication design; including interiors, product design and fashion. Great design translates!

Jam Edit

Graphics design/Motion design When it comes to creating graphics that get results, Jam Edit is spot on. In fact, the award-winning company specializes in enhancing spots for national brands with its FX and video finishing capabilities.

Jam Edit has produced work for Bud Light, Coca-Cola, Subway, and more.

Name and title: Andrew Pope , Motion Graphic Designer/Finisher Length of time in the industry? 19 years

Graphic artists I admire and why: From my years as a college intern

through my time at Turner Studios and, now, as an independent artist, I have amassed numerous mentors, and friends, in various industries Jam Edit’s Major League Baseball Pitchboard for Turner Sports I can call on for advice and guidance. I am especially grateful to those who encouraged me to make the leap to leave a successful career at Turner Studios and branch out on my own as an Effects Artist, Designer and Finisher. It was one of the best (and scariest) decisions I’ve ever made.

I am a big fan of boutique studios, like Shilo and Royale, where the directors have a strong design background.

Best advice I ever received: “I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen” – Frank Lloyd Wright It’s a philosophy I carry with me in every aspect of my life.

Biggest inspiration: I’m drawn to, and inspired by, compelling conceptual pieces with high production value. I enjoy a personal level of creative satisfaction when developing this type of work and the client collaboration the process involves.

My must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons”: The Autodesk Flint is my must-have technological tool. I’ve accumulated over 15 years

of experience exploring the many advantages inherent to this toolset. It’s a fast, interactive environment for creating and revising many iterations of a design or animation. It’s great for client sessions and allows quick, collaborative, revisions of visual effects and motion graphics into editorial sequences.

RIOT Atlanta Motion Graphics

Spooky creativity and on-going collaboration make for riotous good times at RIOT Atlanta’s Buckhead studios. The firm provides a variety of services, such as broadcast design, visual effects, animation, and sound design for a client list that includes broadcast networks, advertising agencies, corporations, filmmakers, and recording artists.

Name and title: Deron Hoffmeyer , VFX/Flame Artist Length of time in industry: 15 years, primarily at RIOT Atlanta, where I have focused exclusively on VFX, composting, and motion graphics for over nine years.

Graphic artists I admire and why: I’ve learned a lot over the years from colleagues at RIOT, as well as

our sister companies, Method and Company 3, most notably, CE Raum and Scott Balkcom, two brilliant compositors who used to work in the Atlanta market.

Composited still from Riot’s recent VH1 “Super Secret Formula” promo project.

I learned from those guys a lot about tenacity and going the extra mile to make something not just good, but great. At the end of the day, you want to create something that both you and your clients can be really proud of.

Best advice I ever received: From CE, I learned a lot about how to get your clients involved creatively, but also how to interpret their ideas into your own, so it’s more of a creative partnership than a button-pushing exercise.

From Scott, I learned the importance of pushing color and atmosphere. Where it’s adding textures, an interesting color overlay, or drawing in the viewer’s attention with focal cues and light, there is always something more you can add to make your work a little more interesting. Basically, when you think you’re done…you’re really not done.

Biggest inspiration: The exchange of creative and technical ideas with other graphic artists, editors, audio engineers, and colorists. I also spend a lot of time checking out other ground-breaking work.

There is so much phenomenal content out there right now, you can’t help but want to push yourself to try new techniques.

My must-have technological tools, aka “Secret Weapons”: For live-action based

VFX composting and finishing, I use Autodesk Flame Premium and NukeX by The Foundry. I also use the power combination of Maxon Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects for more of the motion graphics-based work I do.

My favorite toy of all time, though, is the Flame. Flame is still the most powerful and well-rounded piece of kit out there, in my opinion. It’s a ton of fun and there really isn’t anything else quite like it.

My Phone is Blinking! Old School Social = Family + Friends.

Today’s Gadgeteering . . . Social = Connect = Job . . .

.

by: marcie kelso

A

s I begin this article on job searches and social media I thought I would offer some personal disclosures: I graduated from college before I owned a computer (yes, I’m in my mid-forties). I have been gainfully employed since the age of 12 when I landed my first paper route, yet, I’ve never found a job from a want ad. Every job that I’ve had since somebody told me about the paper route has come from networking and personal contacts. I love social media and I am a firm believer in better living through technology.

With this background, one becomes a great fan of social media, not only for what it has done for marketing and advertising in general, but for what our information age has given to the art and science of job hunting and recruiting. As David Oakley, President and Creative Director of Charlotte ad agency BooneOakley says, “Interconnectivity is incredible. You can have interactions that were impossible 15 years ago.” So, how does one best use the internet to find a job or an employee?

The process begins with building a good website that serves as a living resume. Gone are the days when you wrote a resume, printed it and distributed it to the world . . . spray and pray. As a creative worker you need to build a website and keep it updated with your latest projects and representations of those projects. The world we live in thrives on the latest and greatest. Block set times to put new work on your website, at least once a month. Nancy Rabern from Aquent, a creative staffing company, emphasizes that a designer needs to design their own site, do not use anything boilerplate. Says Rabern, “the site itself should be an example of your design ability and aesthetic. Also, don’t put anything in your portfolio that you’re not proud of.”

There are a number of great products out there to assist you with building a good site. Wordpress has great themes that even a novice can use to get up and running. There are also specialized web products like Behance that are specifically made for online portfolios. Behance has the added advantage of easily connecting to your LinkedIn profile. As your central gathering place for your online presence, your website should have links to all of your other online profiles (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.)

36

OZ MAGAZINE www.ozmagazine.com

The next step is to get yourself and your website listed in all of the right places. This starts with listings and links to all of the relevant film production directories, publications and professional sites. A great place to start is right here with Oz Publishing. Other places to list yourself include the directories for AIGA, AAF (Ad Club), AICP, and any other organizations the people you want to hire or would hire you might look.

Finding a job or finding an employee is an exercise in branding.

What value do you promise to an employer or employee? Are you fun, hardworking, a problem solver, connected? Decide who you want to be and carry it through your Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Flickr, and all other social media accounts. In many cases a potential employer or employee might follow you online for months or even years before the right opportunity arises. You want to establish a solid sense of who you are and what you bring to them through your online postings. Are you a writer? Share examples of your writing and work from writers you admire and who share your sensibilities (always give credit where credit is due). Establish your personality, your work ethic, your circle of contacts. This can be done by sharing links to articles and postings and by tagging folks in your posts.

BooneOakley used their search for a senior copywriter to help continue the brand of the agency. The agency created a comic video that went viral illustrating the excuses for missing work to interview, and they would send it to candidates for the position. Oakley says that the video, “ . . . allowed them to show the culture of the agency. It served as a great example of the conceptual thinking that we are looking for—we think differently.” BooneOakley received more than 50 great portfolios in response to the social media campaign.

Of course the dean of all things job related in social media on the web is LinkedIn. Both as a company and as an individual, you need to have a hearty listing on LinkedIn. Rabern shares that a good LinkedIn profile begins with a good headshot, “It is always good to put a name and a face together,” she says. As with your website and listings, writing counts. Make sure that you have a friend or colleague who is a champion proofreader scan your work history and other entries and descriptions for spelling, typos and readability. Think of every line you include in your profile as an ad for you or your company.

Remember, almost everyone has a short attention span. Be concise, and don’t be repetitive.

Now, link it all together. Take advantage of the apps available on all of the social media sitesFoursquare to link all of your pages—Facebook, Vimeo, Pinterest, IconDock Ember App etc. so folks can see you in totality and in the way they like best. Be careful to vary your postings on each outlet so that your audience and potential employers or employees are motivated to keep following you on all of the sites you are using. Remember the unique characteristics of the site. People following you on YouTube and Vimeo Hyvesaudiences for each Identi.ca want to see video, whether it’s a video blog, or clips of your work. No matter the platform, the most popular postings are always accompanied by images, moving or still.

Develop relationships now so you will have them available to you later. Hiring, recruiting and job hunting are an ongoing pursuit in the social media era.

The time to find followers and fans for your social media outlets is months even years in advance of when you will need to call on them. If you’re an ad agency, provide content that will not only hold your clients attention, but also engage the type of person you might someday want on your team.

Tumblr

An important step in using social media to find jobs is to follow others.

Establishing strong on-line connections is a reciprocal exercise. Follow the people who you want to work for or who you would like to have work for you. Oakley says that as a writer, he follows a number of comedians on Twitter for their sharp writing. He offers, “Following folks on Twitter exposes you to people you wouldn’t otherwise know.” Another key to finding whom to follow is to find the publications, blogs, and other sources that will keep you up on all of the latest industry trends, the projects developing in your region, and the comings and goings of others in agencies and other creative shops.

how i got into the business

Marta Prus

Graphic Designer martakprus@gmail.com www.martaprus.com

How did you get into the business?

My family used to go on many vacations and road trips around Europe and the States. When I wasn’t falling asleep, the different signs and billboards that surrounded me fascinated me. In stores I was always drawn to the packaging of the product over the quality of it. I have always been drawn towards the arts and as I grew older I found a way to combine my passion for the arts with the practicality of everyday life–enter graphic design. From the moment I first used Kid Pix to create family greeting cards to my high school years of taking my first design classes, I have not been able to step away from the computer, even today. After graduating with a BFA in Graphic Design, I began working full time at Autotrader. com, but love to do freelance work on the side to fulfill my varied creative needs.

What do you love about your job?

I have a passion for affecting people without them being known they are being affected. Graphic design in packaging, advertising, and print has the ability to sway you towards a product or make you feel a certain emotion. I love the idea of subliminally making consumers want or need an idea or product within seconds. I find it fascinating that so much creativity and effort goes into picking fonts, color choices, and imagery in order to make a design successful when a person may only look at it for 1/10th of a second. In the end, though, it’s always worth it!

Do you have any words to live by?

Patience can’t wait.

“Design can be so simple, and that’s why it is so complicated.” -Paul Rand What are three recent projects?

How did you get into the business?

I spent twenty-five years in the graphic arts industry and started to get bored with it. I was looking for something else. So I changed from a “hand craft” to a “computer craft”. I always enjoyed photography and film and considered it a “cousin” to the graphics arts industry so it was a natural evolution for me.

How long should one take to make it in the business?

I would say to give yourself a good twenty years of hard work. I get a kick out of young people that I tell this to, that immediately run off a list of successful people that made it overnight… Spike Lee, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and others. “They made it overnight! Why can’t I?” For everyone of the “over nighters”, there are 10,000 that couldn’t make enough in the business to pay their light bill. Besides, these “students” are missing the point. You should enjoy the journey. The success and/or accolades in the business will come with knowledge.

Do you like the changes in the business?

I think it’s great. Everyone hated film leaving, but I love all the new stuff you can do with the new digital cameras that you could never do with film. I remember when the only way you could get into “feature films” was to almost be born into it. Today, anyone with the desire can create television projects and full-length features. Just look at YouTube. Soon you’ll be able to write, shoot, edit and distribute like never before – all digitally. I watch much more YouTube now then TV… times are a changin’!

Last month’s projects…

OPRAH Winfrey, Whitney Houston family interviews.

Housewives of Atlanta, REUNION show NASCAR/Talladega Superspeedway/Driver interviews “If you really love me”, feature-film for television.

Commercial Photographer www.wolkis.com www.photosthatmovehouses.com

How did you get into photography?

I had crooked teeth as a kid. My parents couldn’t afford a real orthodontist, so we went to a clinic at Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx where we’d sign in at 7 a.m. and hope to get seen that day. Often, we’d stay till 5 p.m. and try again the next day. I spent those long waiting room hours teaching myself to draw, which led to my passion for art and photography.

How did you get into commercial photography?

I did editorial photography in college and beyond. When I moved to Atlanta I had no commercial experience, so I volunteered at several studios (thank you Larry Thomas!).

Soon I got regular assisting work for 75 bucks a week, then bought a couple of semi-working strobe lights and went off on my own.

Who were your first clients?

My first big client was WSB-TV. I had met Jackie Goldstein, their graphic designer, at a party. I told her I was a photographer, and she said I should come down to WSB and show them my work. I didn’t. I ran into her at another party, and she said, “You really ought to come down to WSB and show them your work.” I finally did. The art director liked it and gave me an assignment for a Halloween TV Guide ad, a photo of a hand holding fire. I said, “No problem!” and walked out thinking, “How the heck am I going to shoot that?” Well, I did it and worked for WSB for about 10 years, which led to work with WXIA, WGCL, WAGA, TBS, CNN, and other corporate and real estate clients.

Casting Director BET Casting - Atlanta alphatylercasting1@gmail.com Direct office: 404-333-6649 Cell: 323-496-4748

How did you get into the business?

I got a book on careers in entertainment while in college that listed careers from a-z. I discovered casting. I found out who the casting directors were, wrote letters and got internships on the TV show “Martin” and the film “Titanic”. After graduating I got my first job as a casting assistant in January 1996.

What was the most fun you had on a project?

The most fun on a project was as the casting assistant on “He Got Game” in 1998. I was in NY for the first time and spent 3 ½ months there! I videotaped all the auditions with Spike Lee directing me on using the camera. I got my first Krispy Kreme donut while on that project. I didn’t know they were a big deal. I took a plain one. Spike looked at my donut, then looked at me, then looked at my donut again and again looked at me. I asked him “Do you want my donut?” He said “Yes!” So I gave it to him. Spike Lee took my donut!! I also had to go to strip clubs and rent adult videos to find women who would simulate a menage a tois for a scene with Rick Fox and Ray Allen . . . I’ll keep those juicy details for my memoir!!

What advice can you give to someone who wants to get into Casting?

Try to intern or help out in a casting office. Attend live theatre, watch a variety of TV and film projects and go to colleges and universities and see if you can cast their students films.

What was your proudest moment?

What are your current projects?

Seeing my name on a movie poster for Raising Izzie, which will premiere in July 2012 on GMC, was my proudest moment.

I wrote a book called How To Take Photos That Move Houses for real estate professionals, and, with Jackie Goldstein, created an online CEU course based on it. I figure this will help realtors sell more houses, which will stabilize the real estate market, which will save the world from recession.

What are your most recent projects?

I do the Atlanta casting for BET Network. The last 3 projects were BET pilots: 2nd Generation Wayans, Being Mary Jane with Gabrielle Union and Young Man on Campus.

How did you get into the business?

While I’ve worked in multiple facets of the industry, my initial landing was working in a modeling agency.

Having had a few opportunities to model, I quickly realized my interest in identifying the talent in others was far greater. I was able to leverage some contacts and set forth on an exciting path of discovering new faces, calling on big clients and providing models for a myriad of companies and campaigns.

How have you grown in the business?

Every opportunity created a stepping stone into the next chapter. The modeling industry took me into the world of advertising and I worked as a Producer for several national company print projects. The ad agency life paved the path for a walk on the corporate client side. So, full circle, I am now in the position of big client that the modeling agency calls on...
