When the band Karmin came to us with an idea for the visual style of their next music video, they asked for an original idea that would support it.

In addition to creating the lighting design, and color effects, we created special effects using water in speaker woofers. We also contacted researchers in England who had created a new scientific instrument called the Cymascope. We asked them to turn Nick's voice into light patterns. The result is a visual representation of what Nick's voice actually looks like.

Karmin brought in the amazing dancer, Hok, to represent the body's energy, and for the final touch, we contacted George Takei to give the video a bit of a sci-fi feel.

Vibrational patterns underpin, not only music and our voices, but the stars, planets, and people. The universe is one big musical symphony!! *brain explosion*

Acting School Academy is a comedic web series that follows the journey of 10 students as they embark on their education at Acting School Academy in North Hollywood, California.

Created as a labor of love by just a few people, the web series is accompanied by nearly 100 ancillary videos that accomplish 3 things: provide the viewer additional content and the option to learn more about each character, provide the marketing a wider net to draw viewers in, and provide sponsors with a greater choice in niche audiences and more opportunities to get their product seen.

John Stamos wrote a song for the artist, Diamond Carter, and when it came time to make a music video John stepped in as director. He wanted the video to focus on what makes us distinctly human – our expressions. So we set out to create a minimalistic look to keep the viewer focused on the subject’s face.

INTERESTING FACT: Working with Stamos requires restraint. We want to call him Uncle Jesse so badly.
