1) Continue to strive for excellence in all we do.
2) Continue to serve our clients with passion, diligence and creativity.
3) Practice gratitude and generosity.
From everyone at AO.Creative, we wish you a Happy New Year!
Bowtech Octane Videos..Almost
Posted on 30. Dec, 2008 by Ryan in Photography, Video
We finally finished the Bowtech Octane videos – but since these products are not known to the world until next week at the ATA Trade Show in Indianapolis, we can’t post the videos just yet. Here’s a few more shots from the shoot to get you through until then.




We’ve locked the Bowtech edit and are now working on graphics, titles and color correction. It’s pretty amazing the difference color correction makes – even when you shot your original footage in a controlled environment with a white infinity wall.
We’ve logged over 9 hours on color correction alone – but it’s totally worth it.
Thurston Basketball Poster

Here’s a look at this year’s Thurston girls basketball poster we did (photography, layout and design.) The poster idea came from head coach Michelle Tuma, who saw it on OSU’s media guide from last year.

It’s been an incredibly busy month for us…which is somewhat odd for a December. A lot of work has gone into a video we’re producing for Bowtech – highlighting some of their 2009 archery accessories for use on their website and an early January trade show.
Yesterday was the shoot and it went very well. A great job done by all: Jay Jones is producing and doing motion graphics, Ryan Welch is directing and editing and we brought Erik Hecht in as director of Photography.
Thanks to Dayne, Gene and John, the guys from Bowtech, for helping us make it a fun and successful shoot. We’re jumping on the edit today because our deadline is tight. We’ll have the completed videos online as soon as we’re done.
Here’s a few stills from yesterday’s shoot.
We just launched the Northwest Sports Management Group website today. It was great working with Jordan, Nik and Peter in creating their initial website and we look forward to working with them as they grow over the coming years.
Here some of the print materials we just finalized for Northwest Sports Management Group – a Seattle-based agency that represents professional baseball players. We did the identity, the business cards, envelopes and letterhead. We’re in the process now of finalizing their website.
