anythink: A Revolution of Rangeview Libraries

Objectives: This is one of two documentaries created by Ricochet Ideas and Crosspoint to unveil and explain a revolutionary new concept in libraries. We also created 3-minute webisodes to give focus to more specific library topics. The shows have been broadcast at four new library opening events and are the key presentation at the 2010 National Public Libraries Association show. The shorts have been released virally on YouTube and to library-specific sites. The majority of all filming was during live events and could not interfere with the proceedings. This required a small, highly organized crew that could maintain a tight schedule, organize VIP interviews, and shoot B-roll surroundings within just two days. Measures of Success: More than 1,300 hits on YouTube in the first three months. Target Audience: Library directors nationwide, community leaders, and consumers. Specific Roles on project: John Bellina, Ricochet Ideas – Writer/Director Tasso Stathopulos, Ricochet Ideas – Art Director Joan Laflamme – Proofing Corey Hayes, Crosspoint – Producer/Director Luke Bishop, Crosspoint – DP/Grip Sound Chris Walsh, Crosspoint – Sound Design Audio Engineer John Riccardo, Crosspoint – Editor Nate Rich, Crosspoint – Graphics Jeff Chiba Stearns – Animation

Boston Market – Lunch for Lunch

Cameron Christopher Thomas Advertising recently recruited Walk the Line Films and Crosspoint to execute two new Boston Market spots. Walk the Line Films’ Director of Photography, Roger Sackett, shot all food footage on a Sony EX1 using a lens adapter to accommodate the use of film primes. The results are stunning and look remarkably close to film, at a fraction of the cost. From there, Crosspoint editor, Luke Bishop, integrated the Sony XDCAM with a graphical treatment created in Adobe After Effects and assembled the piece in Apple’s Final Cut Pro. The spots were then sent to colorist, Eric Anolin, to be graded in Filmlight’s Baselight ONE. The digital files effortlessly transferred between the two suites using XML and were conformed in Baselight for finishing in AVID DS. Donald Cosiglia added all the finishing touches, including 3D, to finish the spot. client | Boston Market agency | CCT Advertising production co | Walk the Line Films edit, graphics| Luke Bishop, Crosspoint color | Eric Anolin, Crosspoint finish edit, graphics | Donald Corsiglia, Crosspoint sound | Rocky Mountain Recorders
