Sometimes things don't go as planned on a shoot, and you have to be able to pivot.

When we realized earlier in the week there might be a chance we wouldn't be able to reach our final shot location for August Gonzalez Music's "SEE TMRW", we leaned into our AD Matty Weiland's stagecraft experience. They took a last-minute idea for a performance scene and made it possible!

The Color Me In Media team, Jay, Brendan and I appreciate all the love you've been showing us for SEE TMRW!

We have more to share with you! Tune in to my YouTube channel this Friday at 12PM CST and check out what went on behind the scenes for the music video!

Confidence does not come from buying a new brand of mascara. It comes from the time you spend with yourself and recognizing the value you bring to the table. So often our confidence is based purely on our appearance, but it has to root deeper than that. Start by finding a few things you love about y

07/11/2021

To paraphrase one of our favorite clients: "quality takes time".

Music videos are one of the most time and effort-intensive projects that we regularly book, and there's so many more steps to the process than just filming day.

Pre-production the weeks before (lining up locations, casting, scheduling, shot planning, logistics, etc.) gets you your starting place; but post-production (editing, color grading, etc.) is where you get the final product.

Some say to estimate anywhere between 3-10 hours of editing per 1 hour of footage recorded, and when all factors are considered (complexity of concept, type of footage, amount of footage to sort, and length of video) - you can see where the time needed escalates with one or two FULL days of shooting.

We take our time with our clients because we want to make sure the hours we're spending leads to work that reflects us all well.

If you have a project that you think would be a good fit for both of us, we're booking for Sep 2021- Dec 2022!
