Oh Yeah, it’s finally Oh Nine!

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

Mark here, happily reporting that we ended 2008 with a big bang…a package of 14 spots for our excellent clients at Ticketmaster, built for and presented on the GigantoTron NASDAQ screen in Times Square NYC. The package ran for the two weeks leading up to Christmas, and each spot ran almost 500 times. Zoink! Each spot gets made, then it goes into the AfterEffects oven for uprezing and conversion, and comes out as a series of 6mb PER FRAME targe files. That’s, like, close to 6 gigabytes per :30 spot. DoubleZoink!!

And 2009 is starting out quite nicely for us. We did our first live streaming multicamera webcast shoot (experienced as it happened by viewers in US, Germany and China), Matt’s banging out a quick, zazzy recap montage for Motorola mobile devices and US Cellular, Mike’s finishing up a case study video for the Motorola Wireless Broadband folks, and Alex just polished off a recap for Glade Scented Candles (a delightful-smelling project that came by way of OgilvyAction).

On the web dev front it’s total excitement, as we are cranking for a host of new and existing clients, and since I’m just a moderately-web-informed video guy, I’m going to let our lead WebDude Nathan blog about all things Really Really web-r-iffic, so stay tuned!
