After the better part of 26 years with Made Ya Look/NorthCoast Media Group and over 40 years as an incredible audio engineer, John Gibson is officially retiring from his 9 to 5 with us. We will miss the heck out of him.

John’s vision, dedication, and passion for pristine audio quality have been the cornerstone of Made Ya Look since he first joined the team in 1996. From working gigs at Lambeau Field and recording the voices of some of the Green Bay Packers’ greatest players to mixing videos for broadcast and working with bands in the MYL studio, John’s contributions and his drive for high-fidelity audio will resonate for years to come.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, John’s musical talents have added a unique rhythm to his journey, showing us all the beauty of balancing work and passion. You can now catch John Gibson playing jazz and funk with his upright or electric bass at venues across Wisconsin! He hasn't come out and said it, but we all know he's most looking forward to playing U-Bass with some local ukulele players, too (says Audio Engineer AJ Rahm, who's our in-house ukulele player).

John, we’ll miss your creativity, leadership, and the energy you brought to every gig, video shoot, and recording session. We’re thrilled for you to be able to enjoy more time playing bass and relaxing. Here’s to more music, adventures in the Mach E (with a frunk!), hangs with your furry friends, and well-deserved time to do what you love!

Let’s celebrate John and wish him all the best in retirement! 🥂🎶

P.S. Fear not. We now have 3 audio engineers, up from last year's 2. If you need professional audio, we've got you covered!

Merry Christmas from NorthCoast Media Group!

We're missing a couple of vacationing folks (Steve and Johnny D., we're looking at you) and Marcia is hiding behind all of us on purpose, but here's the bulk of our video, audio, and marketing professionals dressed for the season - and the somewhat less enthusiastic Shea the Office Dog.

White balance is when we adjust the camera's color temperature to make sure the whites in the shot appear as true white. This helps all other colors in the video look natural. Generally, a white card is used to calibrate the camera.

Used in a sentence: "We're going to need a white card to calibrate the white balance."

Meet Jarod Johnson, our newest Production Assistant. We’re glad to be able to add another member of the team to assist our crews out on video shoots.

Here’s a little about Jarod:

Jarod was born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and is joining us after serving 4 years in the U.S. Navy. Jarod is currently attending UWGB.

Now that Jarod is back home, he enjoys playing guitar, listening to a wide variety of music, and he also digs going to see live music. If you’re feeding Jarod, he would love to have Spaghetti Bolognese or most anything classically Italian. If Jarod's watching movies, he's probably taking in a Western, making him the only NorthCoaster in The History of Ever to choose it as a favorite genre. Jarod is a favorite of our office Shiba Inu, Shea, and the two can be seen side by side on days when Jarod isn’t out on a video shoot.

Welcome, Jarod!

It's Dog Day, every day, at NorthCoast. This fluffy little Shiba Inu, Shea, is our office pooch. As you may gather from her haughty expression, she believes we are all here to please her, but really, it's she who makes *our* day(s) better!

Happy International Dog Day!

New Hire Announcement: Ink Azzolina, Motion Graphics Designer

Here’s a little about Ink:

Ink has lived most of her life in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and comes to NorthCoast Media Group fresh out of college. Ink has her degree in Digital Motion Design from Ringling College of Art & Design in Sarasota, Florida. Let us tell you: you want creative, eye-catching motion graphics? Ink has got you covered. We were floored by her work – and she’s just getting started.

In her spare time, Ink hangs out with her dog, Lacy, and likes to go for bike rides. She’s also a fan of comics, especially Batman Black & White. Ink likes listening to a variety of music but, at the moment, she’s especially feeling Caravan Palace. Her favorite movie is The Adventures of Tintin (2011) and she loves peel-and-eat shrimp with butter (good choice).

You can check out her demo reel here:

Welcome, Ink!

Sometimes Shea, the NorthCoast office's Shiba Inu, with her excess of poofy fur, reminds us a little bit of an adorable, yappy marshmellow. Our new motion designer, Ink Azzolina, shares her take on National S'mores Day + Shea.

Go make this final golden month of true Wisconsin summer one full of boating, playing on our state's beaches, and camping. Make yourself some s'mores over the fire, tonight, and enjoy the hoodie weather!
