Summer 2012

Wow, super busy summer.  2012 has brought a lot of changes to 3ChipMeda and myself personally.  Looking  back so far, I've moved into a new location, opened a computer store in the front portion, New studio in the back half  of the building at 121 E Main St. in Anamosa, IA.  And now we are working on turning the massive 1,400 sq ft. basement into a full feature studio as well.

Some of the projects that we've done in 2012 have been 21 DEX Yellow pages videos, Lots of portraits, RAGBRAI photos, Todd Weaver Memorial Ride, Iowa Dressage Classics, Tamarack Stables 4 times now. And the calendar is still very full.  We have a few more websites to design, Additional marketing to do for Spackler Golf Flags, besides the video we've created for them.  It has been pretty good.  It's starting to slow down now, but that's ok.  It's going to give me a bit of time to restructure some things, work on some workflow issues that we've had and do a little more marketing to keep things going through the winter months.

I get a great deal of satisfaction out of working so many different types of projects.  It's really amazing how we can go one day from doing Senior portraits, to the next day or even that afternoon to be shooting a video or editing something that was shot a few days ago for some corporation.  I love being multi-talented. Not tooting a horn or anything but it is nice to not have to do the same thing over and over, day in and day out.

That's about it for this blog post.  If you'd like to see some of the stuff that we are working on or have done over the summer, check out our website at http://www.3chipmedia.com   Or call us at 319-361-7777 to book an appointment.

DexKnows Video Production for Iowa–3ChipMedia

www.StudioNow.com of Nashville, TN has selected 3ChipMedia as it’s choice for producing the 60 second videos for one of it’s biggest clients, www.DexKnows.com

These videos must be shot and edited within 48 hours of the pre-determined time and date of the shoot.  While this can be a daunting task with everything that we currently do, it’s a challenge that we’ve met head on. We’ve already completed 4 videos in the past few weeks and have already been contracted to 5 more videos in the next 2 weeks. 

What are the videos?  These are 60 second documentary style spots to highlight the companies involved to show the business as promoted by the owner of the business.  Unlike a TV Commercial, these are not pre-scripted, an interview is conducted and then video of the business in action is shot to truly capture the business in it’s true nature.  All of this has to be completed in an hour and a half.  Then the footage is brought back and it is up to the staff of www.3ChipMedia.com  to create the video and upload it for approval. 

We appreciate the opportunity to be working with StudioNow on this project and look forward to a long relationship. www.studionow.com

Fun little project for KRNA Radio

Friday, Jan 27th we found ourselves in the KRNA radio studios doing some filming and photos as comedienne April Macie @ http://aprilmacieishilarious.com/

She was absolutely hilarious, we are still working on the edit which will be done soon and you’ll see it on our website. 
One of our staff, Jared that was filming the day of the interview took his wife to the show and at around 11pm, texted everyone else and said that we had “Totally missed out on a great show”.

He later told us that while she is definitely not one to take the kids to see, she puts on a great show.

KRNA has been booking 3ChipMedia more and more lately to film interviews, shoot photos and come to their public appearances to document the events visually and we like that.  Jaymz Larson and Greg Scharnau “AKA SHARK” have both said “3ChipMedia has really helped us improve our image to the public with their support in our social media and website visuals. 

Just before the show, we put together a quick promo for their new “WEEKENDER BENDER” program that is hosted by both Shark and Jaymz, which highlights everything from Beer of the week to what’s going on for weekend entertainment.
