We present you Smiles 2019, our 7th version. At the end of each December, we enjoy revisiting the footage from that year's clients and collecting the fun moments that inevitably arise during filming. We then assemble those into a short montage that (for us, at least!) is a real delight to watch. And we hope the same applies to you! If 93 seconds of smiling happiness leaves you craving...

  Back by popular demand, our 6th (almost) Annual Smiles Video. It began in 2010 when, at the end of the year, I was archiving the year's footage and came across smiling, happy folks. I decided to put together a smiles montage for the fun of it and send it out as a Happy New Year's salutation. This year's video was created and delivered a little later than usual, but the sentiment remains...

We initially embarked on our Smiles video series mostly for our own pleasure - it was nice to compile a montage of happy faces!  We shared it and people seemed to enjoy the video as much as us. So we have continued. If you really feel the need to get an extra dose, feel free to go back to previous versions (and let us know which is your favorite): 2016 Smiles 2015 Smiles 2014 Smiles 2010...

We're now entering the fourth year of creating our "Smiles" videos. Above is Smiles 2016. We have a lot of fondness for the folks we work with, often because they are a great deal of fun. So it's not hard to go back through a year's footage and find plenty of nice moments to splice together and create a happy, joyful montage. Previous versions were 2015, 2014, and 2010. We hope this will make...

  February is Heart Disease Awareness month. In light of this, we created another "Did You Know?" animation to offer a tip to help prevent this disease. And it begins with a smile.

This is the second in our Did You Know? series. For the fun of it, we decided to create 15-second (or less) animations to illustrate facts that catch our attention. We finished our first animation last week, about the amount of plastic Americans throw away. See that one here.

For fun, we have started to create mini-videos (15 seconds or less) on statistics that interest us. If you want to know how many plastic bottles Americans throw away (it's a lot), have a look!

  Almost exactly four years ago, I was archiving video footage and reviewing projects we had worked on. Watching some of the video, I was reminded of how much fun we have with our clients - there were quite a few shots of folks laughing and joking around (between takes, of course). On a whim, I decided to make a "Smiles Montage" that included some of our favorite expressions of happiness...

 April 3, 2014 At a recent event on personal branding, a member of the audience asked, “How do you fail in style?”  What a fantastic question!  The speaker’s approach to answering was to give examples of moments of personal failure and then sum things up, tongue-in-cheek, saying, “But look how I turned out?!”   The Clark School, I recently discovered, has a wonderful answer to that...

We're doing a series of marketing videos for Explo, which is kind of like a summer school but a lot more fun.  Kids can take a huge variety of classes that are all engaging, hands-on, and zero-pressure (no homework or grading).  And classroom time is balanced with activities, athletics, and trips. The high school kids are based at Yale University.  We were down there last week and popped our heads...
