Bent Image Lab has a new stop motion animated commercial they did for Arrowhead’s new 500ml ReBorn TM bottle called, “Recycling is a Beautiful Thing”. The campaign idea and concept is by Ad Agency Threshold Interactive, produced by Bent Image Lab and directed by Bent’s Solomon Burbridge.
Burbridge says,“The awareness aspect in this spot is really important. If everyone were more aware about the things that we were accidentally throwing away, we would be able to use a lot more recycled material in the bottles that are made.” Continue reading... “Bent Image Lab Shows “Recycling Is A Beautiful Thing””

Here we are on Sunday, looking back on the fact that the last JumperCut goes to SXSW blog entry we put in was about last Monday, and it’s obvious that SXSW became e blur… a blur of music, films, sessions, parties and nonstop interesting conversations. The JumperCut team was all together on Tuesday, and then a couple of our team members had to leave so only Andrew, Ben and Phil remained. This last SXSW update is a summary of the experience from our final few days, and some take-aways. Continue reading... “JumperCut SxSW Adventure”

It’s Sunday morning and since the rest of the JumperCut team is still sleeping (the change in the clocks wasn’t kind to us), I thought I would take this opportunity to write a little bit about our experience yesterday and so far at South by Southwest. The JumperCut team members are all newbies to SxSW, and so we’re just settling into what is an enormous event, where it seems as though the entire city of austin is nothing but orange, blue, silver, black and green laniards and badges, lines of people around the block for various events, and the spotting of a movie star here and there. Continue reading... “JumperCut At SXSW Saturday!”

So here we are at SXSW! Phil picked up Amy, Lukas, and I in the evening and drove straight downtown for our badges. I knew this was going to be busy and exciting but this truly is amazing. Everyone is here to talk, learn, communicate, meet new people and showcase what new work they are ready to bring to the world stage and we fit right in.
At the end of the night we all met up and talked about the people we’d met and our different interactions with the city as it buzzes with all of this fantastic positive energy. Continue reading... “JumperCut SXSW: It Begins”
Right here in Oregon, tucked away in Hillsboro since 2007, is one of the leading manufacturers of intelligent LED lighting instruments for the film and video production industry.
