Operation Uruguay

The Image Company on a Video Shoot in South America

One of our recent video projects took us to Uruguay for a week with Key Club International and UNICEF. Our assignment was to document Operation Uruguay, the journey of four Key Club Ambassadors as they witnessed first hand the work of UNICEF Uruguay that their 2009 fundraising would support.

Is Comcast the KING?

A recent article by Daniel Roth in one of my favorite magazines, WIRED, quotes Comcast CEO Brian Roberts declaring, “DSL is the new dialup,” a thing of the past, SLOW. Currently, broadband connections to the internet can be broken down into 3 types: Cable Modems (53%), DSL (40%) and other (7%). And it seems that Comcast is leading the way in terms of control of the market with 14.7 million broadband customers. By the end of 2007, 22% of every dollar spent on broadband in the US went directly to Comcast. And what’s even worse is that there seems to be a magical thinking that competition will solve all the problems down the road

The Beat Goes On

I think Sonny and Cher summed it up best with their song “The Beat Goes On” produced in 1967. Some of the words of their song like “mini skirts” may seem a bit outdated - and “Hey buddy have you got a dime?” echoing the 1931 Depression-Era song should probably be updated to “Hey buddy have you got a 20?” - but the essential meaning remains. Time stands still for no one and we have kept that in mind, especially in today's state of the economy. The Image Company has been in business for over 8 years now and it looks like we are headed into 2009 just a little bit leaner and meaner. I’m sure you can relate.

I Used to Walk 20 Miles in the Snow...

When I first started in video production, I had no idea that I would be a part of a technological transformation.I was 18 when I decided that Advertising Media would be my career path. In those early years, all video editing was linear. We didn’t use computers, we used a stand-alone edit machine and multiple ¾ inch video machines to record each edit.
