More posters!

Well, you all loved the first batch so much, we figured that we might as well bless your feed with a few more posters. It is the season of giving after all.

If anyone had “Seeing Buc’s face photoshopped onto Jake Lloyd” on their 2024 bingo card, you should probably buy a lottery ticket.

We're big fans of this Charlie Brown one. Now the real question is will Buc finally kick the football?

And for our last poster...

You know, people used to think we’d have flying cars by now. Instead we have this.

We had to end our Christmas movie poster series with this one… we just had to. Why this even exists? Don’t ask, we don’t know either. All we know is that It's a Wonderful Haus.

Regardless, we hope you’ve enjoyed this journey with us through the uncanny valley, and hopefully you got a laugh or two!

Happy Holidays!!

To get into the swing of the holiday season, let’s have a little fun. And what’s more fun than slapping our faces on classic Christmas movie posters? We all love Elf around here. So, if there ever were to be an Elf 2, consider this Patrick’s audition.

While we haven’t had to survive Kevin McAllister’s house of anti-burglar death traps, we’ve definitely had our fair share of curveballs thrown at us throughout our productions. Close enough, right?

As far as we know, Buc hasn’t actually stolen Christmas (yet?). But, jury’s still out on whether or not he stole the winter weather in Cincinnati. Fun fact- Cincinnati has only had seven White Christmases in the past 30 years. The more ya know!

Rounding it Out.

Our fourth and final XTRATUF highlight series is here!

It’s been a pleasure getting to revisit the project, we hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as we have!

As it’s been with other XTRATUF highlights, we wanted to give the effect of looking back through a vintage lens. Luckily for us, Sarah had a video diary locked and loaded to perfectly fall under that umbrella. From there, the effect was inserted as needed!

Hopefully you’ve been able to gather an idea of just what we’re capable of in post production through these highlights. We look back fondly on these short films, and we were honored to have a hand in them.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This Turkey Day we want to take a moment and thank all of our incredible crew! Without them, Yellowhaus isn’t anywhere near what it’s become today. In the spirit of fun, we’ve collected some not-so-serious pictures we’d like to share with you all!

And of course we had to include a mealtime photo here on Thanksgiving, it’s like an unspoken rule. While we usually don’t have craft services roll in green bean casserole and stuffing, our food options still keep our crew happy!

With the amount of time we’ve spent working with our crew, we’ve all become more than just co-workers. We’re friends, and we couldn’t be more thankful for that. So once again, a MASSIVE thank you to our incredible crew from Yellowhaus!

Intertwined.

Much like our first XTRATUF highlight series, we’re looking at editing together fishing and another activity. In Lionel’s case, it was boxing. Here with McKenna, we have snowboarding.

And how about a little montage to emphasize the everyday aspects of fishing!

Finally, gorgeous shots and inspirational VO. Not a bad way to end things off for this highlight

Back with some more XTRATUF! We’re talking all about sound today.

It may come as a shock, but we didn’t have seagulls come in the studio and do ADR for this one. No, all those sounds you hear had to be added in post.

The subtle addition of audio to correspond with the shown picture, like the sound of a bike pedal or shovels digging, only further enhances the overall piece. The more ya know, right?

We had the privilege to use music from some of the biggest names in country music. On the surface level, that’s already awesome.

But what’s even… awesome-er? More awesome? Awesome-est?

We baked the music into our edit and it’s awesome, OK? Every time that hammer hits the ice it automatically becomes cooler because it’s matching the beat. Just another way music can take on a life of it’s own in video-land.

It was upon request that these country music hits make it into the cut, so we made it happen. And talk about setting a tone! There’s just something about watching a boatful of guys fishing with country blaring that really puts you in the mood to buy some XTRATUF stuff, right?

In the elements.

For this next highlight series, we’re talking all about XTRATUF. They specialize in making footwear strong enough to brave the elements, and to prove it they went out and interviewed four people who wear XTRATUF on a daily basis. After everything was shot, we were approached to put the entire puzzle together in post production. Our first interview highlighted a man names Lionel James, based out of Destin, Florida.

The goal is always to humanize our subjects. Lionel has an entire life outside of the fisherman gig, and it was essential to us that we show that to our audience.

Lionel left us with some words of wisdom, he’s nice like that. And with those words of wisdom comes the conclusion of our first XTRATUF highlight series. Stay tuned because we got three more of these, as well as some other projects in the pipeline👀

It’s that time of year again! As engagement season approaches (hopefully with some appropriate fall weather), we wanted to take a look at a project we did for Long’s Jewelers.

As we know, every social media platform presents content differently. Even just 10 years ago, taking both horizontal and vertical video into consideration when framing shots was something no one gave a second thought to. Today, it’s a necessity. Social content is expected to be native to the platform it appears on - what we mean by that is simple: a vertically edited video isn’t meant for Facebook, just how a horizontally edited video isn’t meant for TikTok.

The advent of social media has done away with the “one-size fits all” mentality as it pertains to video.

For this project, our client felt music was paramount to differentiate Long’s ads with their competitors’. In a piece that features no voiceover, it makes sense as to why music had such a hold on the tone and feel. Each spot has a distinct music style, which allows for them to stand alone while also falling under the campaign umbrella.

As you may have noticed- we’ve featured snippets from spots depicting couples from all age ranges. Our first round of edits focused on a younger audience and released just in time for engagement season. It was a hit!

Fast forward six months later, Long’s comes to us with a new task - replicate the success of that campaign, but targeted towards an older demographic. Once again, the success was palpable, and we had the pleasure of looking at the same task through the lens of two entirely different generations.

Recently at Yellowhaus!

Here’s a peek into a recent shoot we did, because BTS is pretty cool. Believe it or not, working on an all white set makes dirt pretty easy to see on camera. Luckily both vacuums and Mike Dickman exist to solve that problem!

Multi-camera setups, massive lights, monitors, and all sorts of other equipment kept this shoot interesting. As with any shoot, the amount of variables is numerous. Luckily you could say we know a thing or two.

After the set is clean, the lights are lit, the cameras are rolling, and the sound is speeding, we’re finally ready to start shooting. And things go so much smoother because we cross our T’s and dot our I’s.

Happy Halloween!

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s the spookiest day of the year! So what better time than now to talk about something near and dear to all productions across the globe: costume design!

How your characters look plays a massive role in the feel of the overall piece. For this series, we’ve handpicked projects that best highlight our incredible costuming crew from our entire library of work.

After all, it’s not every day you see a man in sparkly red walking down the street, or an EyeMed superhero fighting crime. And definitely not every day you see a walking, talking, 6 foot cat. Costume design allows us to create these bombastic scenarios, and create something that sticks out from the norm.

Working with our incredible costume department over the years has been nothing but a treat (see what we did there?). Their creativity and un-bridled enthusiasm has made for some of our favorite projects in our history. Production couldn’t happen without them, and we thank them all for being so incredibly helpful and talented.

Let’s switch things up.

For this next batch of highlights, we’re taking a look at an ad campaign we shot for General Electric Credit Union (GECU).

The shoot itself was an absolute blast, so we wanted to dedicate the first half of this gallery to the countless BTS photos we had lying around.

Then we're getting into still frames from all the commercials we shot. Lighting, color grading, it’s all here. We even put em in a little collage for ya to enjoy!

Be sure to check out LinkedIn BTS story about this shoot! We go into all sorts of fun details about how much fun our entire crew had!

The Laundromat.

For our next highlight, we’re taking a look at the opening minutes of Northpointe Film. We knew our first scene had to hook the audience, both narratively and visually. What did that mean from a post production standpoint? So glad you asked!

A LOT of visual contrast. Just look at how deep those black levels are, and how they contrast to the hazy fluorescent light. It’s a thing of beauty, really.

And as always, we included some scouting photos and a lighting diagram for some even more BTS goodness.

Establishing shots are pretty important, right? Setting the scene is something we figured we should probably get on film, so here we are. Things kick off with a wide shot of the laundromat, and the contrast between log footage and the final product is night and… well, more night-y? It’s a big difference, you get the picture.

And who doesn’t love an argument? Starting things with a taste of conflict was important to relay just how desperate our characters are to get out of Northpointe. And how about those subtle shadows? That’s the power of color correction and Patrick Meier (but mostly Patrick).

Side note- we just posted a LinkedIn BTS story about this portion of the shoot to find how about how Buc made a new friend on set! You should check it out!

Roy's House

Let’s talk some more Northpointe Film! These highlights are all about the process from pre-production to final product. Pretty cool stuff right? First up for each still we have a log image taken directly from the camera footage, and on the bottom is the fully color graded image. Pretty big difference right?

We also included scouting photos (a fan favorite, we know), as another cool window into what all went into making this possible.

And finally, our final image at the very end here is an overhead lighting diagram. This is something we haven’t featured before, so let’s do a quick crash course:

Believe it or not, knowing where you want your camera, lights, and other equipment to be on set is actually pretty helpful. What this lighting diagram allowed us to do was get a layout of the environment we’d be in, and then plan around that. Where equipment goes, what movements the actors will make, and a laundry list of other things. Main point- prepping early makes shoot day much less headache inducing.

Cool story, we shot this scene at night. Oh, there was also about six inches of snow on the ground. Good thing we have a fantastic crew that knows how re-create warm sunlight!

This scene in Northpointe is the only one that leans into warm light, so we knew the color grade had to be perfect. We hope seeing these before and after’s illustrate just how a big of a jump there is from log camera footage to fully color graded footage, and how much prep it takes to just have a shoot day in the first place.

The first video from our shoot with Mike Albert and Tee Higgins is officially live!

As we all saw in the BTS posts from a few weeks ago, this shoot required multiple locations. From a backlot in Over the Rhine to the Paycor Stadium players’ lot, we kept ourselves busy throughout the day.

We hope you enjoyed this one, because the good news is there’s more in the pipeline. We got A TON of footage from our shoot day, so you best believe there’s room for some more videos (and highlights)

Celebrations!

Well, the first private screening of Northpointe Film was a FANTASTIC time. Everyone had their Friday night best on for the big occasion, and there were smiles all around.

And come on, we didn’t get this cool Northpointe backdrop for us to NOT get a metric boatload of pictures.

Our two leading actors, Joe Howell and Trey Dawson, gave their all for this one, and we couldn’t be happier with how their performances turned out. And as for our director Rick Pate, well he’s been fantastic since day one. He had a vision, and we’re honored to have been a part in bringing that vision to fruition.

How about a quick shoutout to ALL our supporting cast: Sunami Rodriguez, Jay Fry, Ruairi Kevin Rhodes, Reverend Ax Om DD, and all those not pictured. Their performances allowed the city of Northpointe to feel tangible, so let’s give them a round of applause.

Stay tuned for even more Northpointe highlights, but also some other stuff we’ve been cooking up.

T-Shirts!

We thought you might like to see some Northpointe Film T-Shirts after those posters we featured. So… voilà. How exactly these relate to the film- well, you’ll just have to wait and see.

09/13/2024

How about some posters?

We told ya, back to Northpointe Film

Since we made a movie, we thought it might be a good idea to advertise it. A bunch of different designs ahead, let us know which one is your favorite!

Look at all these still frames we’re showing off. Just a little taste of what’s to come before our premiere at the end of September.

Hopefully you’ve enjoyed this little peek at our poster gallery, and stay tuned for even more Northpointe posts leading up to our premiere! We’re glad to have you along for the ride.

This is it, our final Euforia post. Putting this thing to bed (see what we did there) is a little bittersweet for sure. We love this series of brand films, and its work we are very proud of.

This has been one we’ve been sprinkling in our post schedule since early May, and now we’re finally at the end of the line. You’ve seen the other posts, so you know how this goes: beautiful clips featured here with the full film on our website linked in the bio.

The final brand film we did was all about sleepwear. So, shocker… we shot in a bedroom.

Cool story though- this was a night shoot, so that “sunlight” is all artificial. The more ya know, right? Who would’ve thought you could recreate the sun with a few lightbulbs and some imagination?

If you haven’t, be sure to check our other posts on Euforia, and check out the full films on our website. We promise you won’t be disappointed!
