No More DVDs?

Here's an interesting article on the possible future of your movie collection. Unfortunately I don't buy DVDs any more. I rent Blu-Ray discs through Netflix. So I'd definitely do this if a subscription fee was offered.

50 Vintage Ads...And How Waymack and Crew Fits In

Here's a recent posting about 50 vintage ads. See if you remember any of them. We're sure you will. It's fun to look back on advertising and see past trends.

Waymack and Crew is very proud to have been a part of the history of one of these huge brands, International Truck. Here's a montage of the running footage we produced for International.

Would You do 3-D at Home?

Do you have an HDTV yet? Is your home half and half? HD in the main room, standard def in the bed room? Well how do you feel about having 3-D at home? If you've been to the movies lately then you've probably watched a movie in 3-D. You've put on a pesky pair of "Real D" glasses, and taken a picture of how goofy you look with your camera phone. But, I always end up leaving the theater thinking that I could have enjoyed the movie better if I wasn't distracted by the fact that I have glasses on. Or, distracted by me constantly raising the glasses a little bit to see what the screen REALLY looks like. I've also thought to myself..."I would never want to see a Scorsese film in 3D." Wouldn't the focus of a Kate Winslet performance be overshadowed by the bug crawling at me in "Real D"? However, "Adventure to the Center of the Earth" in 3-D is fun, even if Brendan Fraser is still terrible. Whatever you think about 3-D, it's here......and it may be coming to your living room if enough consumers want it. Check out this article on the subject.

A Waymack and Crew Update

This is going to be one of those posts about what we're up to. So here goes.....

First off, after traveling to and from Montana, Chicago and Dover many times in the past few months, and also all around the great state of Arkansas, Dan is taking a few days off. It's a well deserved and much needed break. Here at the shop we've been getting in all the footage that Dan has been shooting and putting together projects for everybody from Kimberly-Clark in Chicago and Atlanta to the Chicago 2016 Olympic Comittee to UAFS in Fort Smith, Arkansas. We have been fortunate enough to work with greats like Michael Jordan and even the President in every TV show, Dennis Haysbert. We've had an opportunity to work with some great creatives from many different agencies, and we're very thankful for all the work you guys have been throwing our way.

We're in the process now of going through some technology upgrades. Things will start being a little different for us, from the way we shoot to the way we post, but the same great product will still be given to you guys.

We've really amped up our graphics and 3D work and we should have a new animation demo to show off pretty soon. Speaking of demos, Maegen, our account director, has been making her way around the region. From Texas and Tulsa to Jackson and Nashville, she's been meeting with you guys and showing us off a good bit. Remember, that if you need anything or have any scripts you would like a bid on you can always get in touch with her at Maegen@waymackandcrew.com.

So, things are going well for us here. We hope your agency and business are going strong and picking up a great deal after all this economy mess that has been around for a while. We look forward to the winter and the jobs we have ahead. Here's a little challenge for you...winter is coming up, have you written snow into any of your scripts? We would love to make it snow in October or November for you!
