Genius Monkeys has purchased Zaxwerks 3D products as part of our digital media production pipeline. Zaxwerks creates plugins and standalone applications that work with Adobe After Effects to streamline production and increase our creativity.
We’ll be putting Zaxwerks’ ProAnimator to work next week on a new television spot for Biotene PBF Mouthwash. Look for a step-by-step whitepaper on how we built this spot, once it’s complete.
Our new sitcom “Couch Cases” wrapped this week. Thank you to all of our cast and crew- you guys are incredible, and I hope you all had as much fun as we did. We’re going into post for the show, right after we finish up a new television commercial and film edit for clients.
We have a lot of “behind the scenes” stuff online in the meantime, at http://behindthescenes.couchcases.com.
I’m happy to report that we’ve upgraded our pipeline to now include the entire suite of products from Imagineer Systems in the UK. Imagineer pioneered a new planar tracking system, and has integrated it into a suite of products that will help us do our jobs better.
We now have online suites with Mokey, Monet, Mocha, and Motor.
We’re now working on a new television commercial, which you’ll be able to see on a network station near you very soon.You’ll also be able to see it online, of course. We wouldn’t be living up to our mission if we didn’t craft a multi-platform campaign for our clients.
Brandon Balin will be performing final editing duties for Erica Gabrielle’s film “The Visit” starting in late January, taking over the reigns from Dave Craig.”The Visit” was shot in mid 2007, with me (Patrick) as Director of Photography, so we’re glad to get to work on the final cut of the project.
I installed the new Logic Studio today on my music Mac, and it’s amazing. I spent a couple of hours playing guitar through the new guitar amp simulations, and I tell ya- if I end up playing out this year I think I may play into a laptop, not an amp. Wow.
In the meantime, I have been hired to create a new television commercial. I can only say that it’s for a consumer product in the healthcare side of things. It’s a low budget thing, but it’s another opportunity to create something cool for a client. And I love to do that.
It rained like crazy here this weekend. I’m hoping we get some relief until I’m done with this new project- it took out my Internet. And that’s not good. Gotta have hope, though!
