Wear a mask. Wash your hands. Keep your distance. We're getting back to work and can stay safe fairly easily and effectively. -- Interested in more details and discussion? I'll be moderating another COVID Production Panel Thursday at 6:00PM for Madison Media Professionals

Had the privilege of moderating a panel on COVID Precautions in Production with some great leaders from both the Madison & Milwaukee communities.

We've posted that panel online for anyone to view along with all of the resources that were shared with attendees.

Thanks so much again to Tom Kermgard, Emily Shea, Michael Graf & Mike Gillis for participating and sharing their experiences with the community.

Fun concept for a spot edited for @m34productions

Fun concept for a spot edited for @m34productions in collaboration with @affirmagency for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation spring campaign. Shot by @milwdp with 3D animation done by Cory Christensen.

Hey, first of all, hope you’re doing well. I’m doing OK.

As creatives, what’s that one thing we always complain about? Budgets, sure.
But for that dream project, what are you always looking for? Time. Exactly.

A lot of productions are going to be halted for at least the next month, so why not take that time to work on some of those things that you really want to.

I’ll be continuing to work on a number of scripts; seeing which one will ultimately be worth producing.
And I’ll be cutting some reels for some colleagues.

What are you working on while everything else is on pause?
What are you going to make once the world gets back to normal?

Directing is taking every aspect of the medium into account simultaneously.

Cinematography without story is just a collage. Story without cinematography is just an essay. Copywriting without visuals is just a PDF. Content without craft is ultimately just noise.

None of these go first. All must work together. Good direction captivates. Good direction changes minds.

But in the end, it’s all about trust. A ship goes nowhere without its captain. From clients to crew, THANK YOU to all those who have entrusted me over the years.

Looking forward to what we’re going to make together next!
