I stumbled upon this link while surfing Reddit today. It is a great collection of behind the scenes photography from iconic film shoots. Films like Metropolis, The Shining, Ghostbusters, Star Wars and Requiem for a Dream are included in the compilation. Not only do these photos show candid moments of actors out of character, but also [...]

Testimonials are a great way to express the personal feelings of how a product or service has impacted an individual. The benefit of this particular series of testimonials was that they were going to be used on
the internet, thus not being constricted to the 30 [...]
Awesome Vintage Legal Ad “The Book”
In a perfect world, I would definitely read this book to my future children. I mean, there is no better story for bedtime than one titled “The Story of an Accident Victim.” Evidently, in 1989, fear tactics weren’t even invented. This story is so tame, that it almost could pass off as a child’s story book. Come [...]
Jell-O at 6200 FPS = Neat-O
Sweet hi-speed video of the amazingness of Jell-O. I’d like to imagine Bill Cosby was behind this, but it looks like it were the “Guys at Modernist Cuisine.”…. Which could very well include Bill Cosby.

K\H – Pinnacle Bank 2010
In 2010, Karsh\Hagan tapped the talents of director Tony McNamara of Futuristic Films, and the team at Crosspoint to deliver another beautiful broadcast campaign for Pinnacle Bank.

Awesome Vintage Legal Ad – “Grocery Store Fall”
This week is kind of a continuation from last week’s epic delivery slip and fall. This awesomely vintage ad demonizes your local produce clerk into a grossly negligent moster. Dark and evil music escalates the scene until poor Gertrude’s stiletto slips across the wet tile, sending her bag, keys and apple,….. directly to the ground?…. Then, shooting, (literally), [...]

Awesome Vintage Legal ad of the Week 3
