What happens when your client needs a real Microsoft employee's voiceover last minute, over the weekend? You find a recording studio 20 minutes from her house in San Francisco, hop on a Teams call from your studio in Bellevue to guide her, and turn dedication into perfection. That's the VMG way!

We’ve been looking forward to this event for a while now and it’s finally here!

As a proud women-owned business, we love mixing and mingling with other diverse suppliers across a variety of industries and always come away with fresh insights and new ideas.

We're passionate for virtual production for numerous reasons, and it's clear why this technique is highly beneficial for our clients. Among the top advantages, sustainability and economic impact stand out as key factors. Check out the top benefits here and visit our website to learn more!

Sustainability Benefits

1. Reduced Carbon Footprint: Traditional production often requires transporting entire crews to multiple locations, sometimes globally. Virtual production eliminates the need for most location shoots, significantly reducing travel-related carbon emissions.
2. Less Material Waste: Physical sets require vast amounts of materials, much of which end up in landfills after shooting. Virtual environments can be reused and reconfigured without physical waste.
3. Energy Efficiency: LED technology is highly energy efficient compared to traditional lighting and set operations, further reducing the production's environmental impact.
Economic Impact

Implementing virtual production can lead to substantial cost savings:

- Location and Travel Costs: Virtually eliminating the need for location shoots saves on travel and accommodation expenses.
- Set Construction and Strike Down: Costs associated with building and dismantling physical sets are significantly reduced.
- Post-Production: Real-time rendering and the ability to make on-the-fly adjustments decrease the need for extensive post-production.

Our founder and CEO, Kelly Sparks had an amazing opportunity to head "back to school" this week as part of the Women Presidents Organization and Harvard Business School's executive leadership program, "Leading Business and Personal Transitions."

4 days, 39 meetings, and 45,598 steps taken. I think it’s safe to say not only did Kelly and Mark cover a lot of ground at the WBENC conference (literally!), but the show was an absolute success! Our leadership spent all of last week in Denver representing VMG Studios, leaving the conference with exciting and valuable connections. We love spending time in person with contacts and new friends and can't wait for the next event!

From live studio shoots to last-minute creative brainstorming, we're embracing the Friday vibe with this quote as our inspiration. Spontaneity? Check. Creativity? Always. You never know what a Friday will bring around here. It's little unexpected & inspiring and we love every minute. Happy weekend, all!

We loved working with Vonage & Ericsson on their creative content for MWC 2024. For this project, we strategically combined a little movie magic and storytelling with cutting-edge technology and the results were pretty fantastic! We can't wait to show you more. For now, we're raising our glasses over here & wishing our partners a successful event in Barcelona. Cheers!

“Starbucks always encourages creativity and boundary pushing. Our focus was about building a dynamic bean world and bringing the bean characters to life. We gave them clothes, homes, unique personalities, and by doing so the beans have been able to grow and thrive even outside VMG Studios.” Ryan Fennessey, creator of the Starbucks beans⁠



02/05/2024

At times, a simple concept can plant the seed of widespread inspiration. Back in 2017, Starbucks presented VMG Studios with a challenge: transform dry content into something that would captivate their team members. What emerged was the birth of these charming characters – our little Starbucks beans – which quickly won the hearts of Starbucks employees. ⁠

Fast forward seven years, and we're still creating fresh iterations of these endearing characters for our colleagues at Starbucks. Our collaboration has spanned numerous Starbucks departments, each time injecting a dash of creativity into their communications. This week, we're excited to offer you a glimpse behind the scenes of these captivating beans and introduce the mastermind of it all, affectionately known as "The Bean Daddy," our Art Director, Ryan Fennessey. Stay tuned each day as we reveal more about this enduring idea.⁠

Have we mentioned that we love our Art Director, Ryan Fennessey? A big part of his job is moving projects through story boarding--a process that involves building out an initial sketch of the video's script to nail down the story's various scenes, characters, layout, and flow.⁠
