Please RSVP to 30ish! Otherwise, Marj will lose it on you!
Yeah, you all know Marj. She is the gate keeper of our facility. She will be the gate keeper of 30ish as well. If you don’t RSVP, she will get all crazy and won’t let you in. Absolutely terrifying if you ask me. No need to worry though, there is a quick fix, just send [...]
Sesame Street Beastie Boys mash up
Check this quality mash up created by Wonderful Creative based in the UK. In my opinion, Grover even looks like Mike D.

You’ve got the creative juice. Put it to use making something you enjoy without doing client monkey work. That’s right. No tags. No legal. No format whatsoever. Enter your video before it goes viral in the :30ish Film Festival, brought to you by Crosspoint.
This is how it works:

Classic Behind the Scenes Photographs
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 [...]
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.

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 – “Delivery”
From our archive of over 2000 legal spots, this is by far the most physically demanding spot I have come across. I give props to any person, even stuntmen, who can do take after take of such a gnarly spill. Granted, I think this delivery driver had it coming.
First, he rolls in driving a 2×2 [...]
Awesome Vintage Legal Ad – “Huntin’”
This is, by far, my favorite AVL that I’ve come across. Maybe growing up in Conifer, CO is the reason I have a soft spot for debauchery and killin’ things. Nothin’ like gettin’ loaded and shootin’ a gun, boy howdy! I tell you what, these boys know how to do it right! Driving their winnebago [...]
Awesome Vintage Legal Ad – “Mr. Mom”
Six years after the release of the motion picture “Mr. Mom” this gem hit airwaves across the country.
Bob’s wife was injured in an accident, forcing him to tend to his two Ginger children and try to tame what appears to be a rocket-propelled toaster oven. Things are so tough for the John Edwards look-a-like, [...]
Awesome Vintage Legal Ad of the Week – “Your Corner”
This week’s gem comes from 1988, three years after A-Ha’s “Take on Me” music video, mind you. We see an effect that can now be re-created with an app on any phone, but at the time, probably took all off 1988 to render. It hurts my brain to think of a time when rendering wasn’t [...]
Awesome Vintage Legal Ad of the Week – Jedi
This week’s Awesome Vintage Legal Ad comes from a Galaxy Far, Far Away. A young padawan, getting her bachelor’s in Mind Trickery (from Metro State, no less), is worried about her now-unemployed Jedi father after a nasty speeder accident. With no income, debt out the wookie, and the likelihood of becoming Jabba’s sex slave; the [...]

Awesome Vintage Legal ad of the Week 3
Originally when I started this series, I did preface that content updates were subject to my availability. Alas, I have found some time to continue with the third installment of the “Awesome Vintage Legal ad of the Week” series.
This week (month…Year…) we touch on the darker side of legal advertising. The scene starts and ends [...]
Awesome Vintage Legal Ad of the Week “A Bike”
(…may or may not be updated weekly)
This week’s selection takes us back to the far off time of 1986. A time when it was appropriate for spokespeople to dress like MJ’s “Thriller.”… Only minus the Tiger cub. This bad to the bone spokesman discusses the dangers of riding a rad bike and the potential results [...]
Awesome Vintage Legal Ad of the Week “Mailbox”
(…may or may not be updated weekly)
In the 1980s, Crosspoint was founded by legendary Denver attorney, Norton Frickey. He pioneered legal and medical broadcast advertising, building a successful agency and post-production facility along the way. Over the years, we’ve produced thousands of spots for lawyers and doctors. Some of it good, some [...]

Oscar Nominated Short Film “Logorama”
Just watched the short film “Logorama” during a render and was blown away by the animation and creativity. What I am really impressed with is the pre-production and set design that went into it! To gather the thousands, maybe even millions 2,500 Logos used to create the world must have been a painstaking task. The [...]
We’re taking over this space
It’s time for the horses to pull the cart.
The dog needs to start wagging its tail.
The lunatics are going to run this asylum.
(…wait, is that last one supposed to be a bad thing?)
Lotus Headlines Fillmore Auditorium
With the 3 camera packages owned by Crosspoint, I had a boatload of options for shooting Lotus’ first show headlining Denver’s The Fillmore Auditorium. Per the band’s request, I acted as a roaming camera and documented the performance. The energy in the building was intense and the band blew the doors off, making the footy [...]
