🎥 Our final short film is "Inside" written and directed by return camper, Ava Hall.
Last year she created a music video to one of her favorite songs that was more of a love story. This year, however, she flipped the script and created a thriller! 🔪
We really got to challenge ourselves with lighting on this one in such a small space and it turned out amazing! Great job Ava!
🎉Congratulations again to all of our Film Camp students. In just two short weeks you were able to script, storyboard, act, shoot, and edit a quality short film! 👏

🎥 Our third short film from Film Camp is "Reflection" written and directed by Cody Tiahrt.
Cody mentioned exploring the concept and challenge of playing with mirrors and different camera angles. This short film definitely does that!
🎭 This film makes you laugh, wonder, worry, and all sorts of emotions and gives a glimpse into the mind of a young creative. Great job Cody!

It's key to getting these three things in this exact order, for optimal productivity and enjoyment.
It's something your doctors even recommend (sometimes).

the 3 things every creative in marketing needs to start their day are..
1. Coffee ☕

Should you film videos vertically? 👀 Yes! It’s Quick Tip Tuesday, so let’s talk about why.👇🏻
If you’ve spent time in the digital media industry, recording videos vertically feels just… wrong. Trust us, we know. Jess and Drew are hating every second of it, and understandably so. 😂 TV screens are horizontal, so are computer screens. But guess what screens aren’t horizontal? You guessed it- phones! 📱
As of 2022, about 83% of all social media usage is done on mobile devices. 🤯 Because of this, effective digital marketing has had to evolve drastically. If you want to get your business in front of more eyes, you need to meet your ideal customers where they’re at. And where are they? Most likely on their phone. 📲
Between Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Snapchat, social media is increasingly gravitating towards videos, and not just any videos- vertical ones. Studies have already shown us that vertical photos on Instagram perform better than both horizontal and square photos. This is because they take up more space on your screen and as a result are more attention grabbing. Videos are the same way. If you want to capture someone’s attention, the best way to do that is to make what you’re offering take up as much space on their screen as possible. So, film vertically! 🤳🏼
Now, before we get you too upset with us, we’re not saying that you should just stop filming horizontal videos altogether. That being said, if what you’re recording is specifically for Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc., recording vertically is the best way to ensure you see results. 👏🏻📈
What are we working on Wednesday 👀

7 Tips for Better Reels
If you’ve met with us recently to discuss your social media channels, then you’ll know we’ve been emphasizing the importance of utilizing Reels! 🎬 Reels are being prioritized by the algorithm, which means you should be prioritizing them too! 📈
While they may feel intimidating at first, Reels are worth taking the time to become familiar with! Ask yourself this when making a Reel: 👇🏻
▪️Is the audio trending? If the audio listed at the bottom of your screen has an arrow pointing up and to the right, that means it’s trending! ↗️ If an audio has been used too many times, or isn’t trending at all, your Reel will likely get lost in the shuffle, resulting in less chances of it being seen.
▪️Is my lens clean? Yes, it sounds silly- but it’s important! The front facing camera tends to get smudgy from talking on the phone, and the rear cameras can get smudged up from dirt, food, sticky toddler fingers, etc. Clean lens = clearer video! 📸
▪️ Am I filming vertically? This one drives Jess and Drew crazy because it goes against… well, everything. As Reels and TikToks increase in popularity, it becomes more vital to shoot vertically for social media! 📱
▪️Is my face on camera? Seeing the face behind the brand helps people to form a stronger connection with your business! 🫱🏻🫲🏽
▪️ Is my text visible? Avoid putting text on your Reels in places where it will be blocked. People get frustrated when they can’t read the text on a Reel and they’ll swipe right past it. 👎🏻
▪️ Am I starting your Reel with a hook? Put something attention grabbing at the top of the screen so it’s what gets seen first to stop a person from scrolling past it! ✋🏻
▪️ Do I have a cover photo? This allows your Reel to visually blend with the rest of your feed.
Do you feel more prepared to record a Reel now? We hope so! Tag us when you make your first Reel, we want to see and cheer you on! 🤩
