Sage media production advice: never end your day (when shooting in a laboratory) without donning some lab coats and hard hats so you can cosplay scientists.😀

Hey Batavia peeps - We're working on a project with the Batavia Park District about the new Peace Bridge letters that were installed a few months ago. If you'd like to share any pics you have of yourself, friends or family in front of the peace bridge (new or old) please see the shared post below. Although the original deadline has passed, we'd love to see if we can get a few more by Jan 21.

Share your Peace Bridge photos with us! 📸

Batavia Park District is collecting Peace Bridge selfie and group photos for use in an upcoming project celebrating the art and its meaning to the community.

Submit your photos of the new and old bridge art by email to [email protected], via DM to the park district or in this thread. The submission deadline is December 19.

Happy Birthday to Shumway’s Ed P! As he grows in skill and fame in the media world, you might think he’s become more pretentious. But you’d be wrong. Dead wrong.

There’re some strange things going on at Shumway these days…😳

Doing man (person)-on-the-street interviews on the busiest block on earth. Lots of hustle, lots of bustle. Especially bustle.

Had an awesome time at the Emagine Theater Gala Grand Opening last night. And icing on the cake—we got to see our video for Batavia United Way play before every feature. Shumway Studio finally made it to the big screen ya’all!!

We've spent the last 4 years recreating the city of Batavia--crafting miniature buildings, vehicles and people--to film a stop-motion epic. We finally finished, and present to the world: "Tiny Batavia".

In today's AI Friday, we asked AI to make a punk rock album cover featuring Ed and Thad. Our pictures were even fed to the AI. What we got is interesting... At least it got our hands right.

We’ve been having a blast shooting a new video for Batavia United Way! It premieres at the new Emagine Batavia Movie Theater at their Grand Opening Party on May 31 (tickets can be purchased at the Batavia United Way page linked above). This is going to be a great event. Come to support a worthy cause and lay your eyes on the largest movie screen in Illinois!!

You know the drill folks. May the 4th be with all of you!

It's AI Friday. The words used to generate this masterpiece were: "Space explorers as lost Amazon tribesmen".

Ed framing up the shot. You just know it’s going to be something good!

While visiting the set of Disney’s hit Star Wars series “The Mandalorian”, we were impressed by their wrap-around LED wall called StageCraft. Now actors can be fully integrated with a real-time background image. So we took one of their 27,827 panels back to Shumway (they didn’t even notice)where we duplicated the process. Technology ya’all.

It’s great to work and be busy…but we’re never too busy for a photo op! Even in an elevator.

It's AI Friday. The words used to create this masterpiece: "Steve Buscemi as Santa Claus".

We’re working all week in beautiful Scottsdale AZ, where it’s warm, blue skies, and a sunny 88 degrees. At least that’s what we’ve been told 😀.

It's AI Friday. These are the words used to generate this masterpiece: "Crazed robot who loves sandwiches".

New side venture! Since we are right next to the bike path, our refreshment stand will be open Sat-Sun 10-3. Come for the hand-squeezed lemonade, stay for the cupcakes!!

It's what we're calling "AI Friday", where we post artwork created by AI in seconds from a few descriptive words. The words that produced this masterpiece were "1970s Elvis in a jumpsuit".

24/03/2023

The rising power of AI (you know, Artificial Intelligence) is already amazing. One example: AI artwork generated from a few keywords and created in seconds. Here's an example, where the words were "explosive and volatile chemistry set". I think we'll start posting examples of these weekly--we'll call it "AI Fridays!"
