Happy New Year, everyone! We hope your holidays were great and that you’re refreshed and ready to start the new year.  We sure are!

Our New Year started with a Live Web Broadcast (Webinar) for Michael Hyatt’s 5 Days to Your Best Year Ever launch.  Michael flew in from Nashville to join Stu McLaren for a live show about goal-setting, and we were asked to lend a creative hand by producing the show.

It was our first live webinar so it was a little different than our usual shoots but we were working with Susan Garrett’s webinar production team so we were in good hands.  They normally work with two-camera set-ups, but of course we had to take it up a notch so we added a third camera.    There’s a cool energy that fills the room when you’re working in live television.  It’s an adrenaline rush because everything happens in the now, thousands of people are watching, and there are no do-overs.    You certainly can’t “fix it in post”.

The Webinar was called The Secrets of Setting New Year’s Resolutions You’ll Actually Stick With and is perfect for getting you started with your setting your new year goals.

Speaking of Michael Hyatt, to help him wrap up his year we put together a little surprise for him to share with his fans and followers: his first ever blooper reel.  We scanned through all the footage we have (over 3 years worth, by the way) and picked the best of Michael’s bloopers.

To close out our year and kick-start 2015, we released our FREE Video Production Toolkit. It’s a downloadable PDF that showcases all the gear we use to make our production and goes into detail as to why we use what we use. You can check it out here by signing up for our free newsletter.

And finally, we’re currently filming a short documentary for the Long Point Region Conservation Authority about the restoration of the long standing and historically important, Backhouse Mill.  The LPRCA recently received a $150,000 donation from W. Garfield Weston Foundation to help restore the building, and we’ll be filming project’s progress throughout the year.
