For the love of cinema... in short format.

Congrats, Mike. Finished production looks absolutely superb! Super excited to see this project develop into an indispensable knowledge base and wealth tool for financial advisors and the clients they serve. Retirement planning used to be ‘annuities, bonds and modest spending’, but has become more challenging and complicated as people are living longer, much healthier and productive lives. (Future actuarial tables will be revised dramatically as AI tech improves healthcare!) Proper planning will be more essential than ever to navigate our extended “golden years” successfully, and doing so will require smarter tools, techniques and decisions from better informed advisors/retirees. Bravo 👏🏼 to the brain trust behind this project. Your timing is impeccable. #wealthtech #financialadvisors #retirementplanning

I’ve got some exciting news to share with you. Today I am launching my new creative film production company: 10/10. Besides being a creative production house, 10/10 will serve as an international agency for directors and an inspiration platform for creatives worldwide. A 10/10 film will show you something in a way you’ve never seen before: heart-pounding, reality-shifting, barrier-breaking or phone-tilting good. Making that kind of film is not science, it’s personal, a matter of taste and never-ending curation. 10/10 stands for the endless pursuit of perfection, attention to the smallest details, and the craftsmanship behind it. It is with that craftsmanship that films are created that make us awe. Over the past months, I have worked incredibly hard on building this new brand, assembling a handpicked roster of directors, and establishing valuable international connections in Amsterdam, London, Berlin, Cape Town, and Los Angeles. At the launch, 10/10’s roster includes three directors. Ted Alkemade, based in the Netherlands/Ibiza, known for the Cannes Lion-winning case ‘The Bookcase for Tolerance’. Ivan Boljat, based in Berlin, was responsible for AirUp’s international campaign. Tom Clover, based in London, collaborated with Gossip Girl actor Ed Westwick for his commercials for Shares. In this new adventure, my three great passions come together: my love for the magic that only film possesses, developing talent, and working internationally on projects with boundary-pushing creativity. Unrestrained by borders, we will create amazing film: commercials, music videos, and I no longer shy away from the big screen too. I am incredibly excited about it! Curious what your 10/10 could look like? Get in touch and let’s create something stupidly amazing together! … You didn’t think you got rid of me, did you? 👀

We look to soon dive into Film Production. Yeah... you heard it right.... Our Repertoire is quite huge and we would like associations to help create something that you wouldn't have though of and maybe considered beyond comprehensible. This is a message generated to help our audience know that you can become a portion of us. Look at our vision.... Our theme or aspect is quite different. You can closely relate us with a huge film production facility combined with art & design culture, entrepreneurial implementations, aesthetics building, media design, product creation and creative management conglomerate that would change the world like never before. Our Methodology is quite different (thanks to our creator for such) and with the upcoming posts you would have a glimpse at such. Because of the many constraints we are facing, we have strictly related us with photography, advertising, new media design, illustration and showcase of all we offer with single frame based launchings. We would require a great production facility to help us reach our immense limitless potential but we are running short in time. So, we decided to rather move with another approach that asks us to invite the members of the community to help us make our vision prosper. The Following are the domains that would be needed, 1. Architectural Aesthetics Implementation - (For Set Design (Film Production), Location Building, Business Establishment, Event Management) 2. Fashion Communication (Product Making, Material Expertise, Clothing and Apparel Design Expertise across its Final Creation in accordance with the demand - (this if different, kindly note it) 3. Culinary Arts (Cafe Establishment, Mini-Cafe Establishment and anything related with the dealing of Food and Beverage later supplemented by other elements in accordance with us) 4. Product Design (Product Creation sincerely in regards with only Art & Design and Necessities (Furniture, Bags, etc.) - (It won't relate with electronics or any other item built with such principles) - (It's rather we deal with external best sources with our choice of the items to be later used or sold) 5. Film, TV, Radio, Music and Media Production (This encompasses a lot and by the mere mentioning and a look through our daily posts you would get it) - (Vfx Artists #vfx , Video Editing #videoediting (Music Video Creation, Video Creation with High Aesthetics Implementation), Music Production #musicproduction, Event (DJ and Set Design #eventmanagement), Website Developer #websitedevelopment, Legal Advisor (#legalservices)) We would require exceptionally intrigued individuals to join us and help us accomplish what we cannot even elucidate here.... I hope you can understand..... Dean "Salvatore" Phoenix Production https://lnkd.in/g6skaQJ7

Latest work. Challenge: size and proportion both matter 😀

BASED ON A TRUE STORY.

What’s In My Saves 📲 Welcome to What’s In My Saves, where I break down the content that grabbed my attention across LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, and Insta this past week! As a chronically online girly + corporate art director, my media diet is all over the place, but hey—that’s what keeps it spicy, right? 🌶️ From thought-provoking industry insights to “something...very much something” content (JT voice, eyeroll), here’s what caught my eye: 1. 🔗 LinkedIn Gold 🌟 Post: A Puppet Pregnant With Cumberbatch Tsksks [https://lnkd.in/ekg5Fdk2] 💡 Why I Saved It: The wonders of production! ZEISS Group Cinematography spills on how Benedict Spence got this crazy ass shot for Netflix Eric. The literally had to rig the inside of a puppet. Insane. 2. 🎵 TikTok Takes 🎥 Video: Black Artists You Should Know About: Michaela Yearwood-Dan [https://lnkd.in/enESYru2] 😅 My Reaction: I literally work to one day afford the art I'm obsessed with. I discovered Michaela from this post and not only am I in LOVE with the work, but as a plus sized black creative, her existence makes me feel so seen. 🎥 Video: Samyra vs. The Plus Police [https://lnkd.in/ehFT4AXd] 😅 My Reaction: Working in marketing as a black plus size girly, I feel the consequences of the lack of representation, but also the responsibility for it. The discourse around brands scaling back on plus sizes in product and in marketing leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but the bullying that accompanies advocating for larger sizes is even more disgusting. 3. 🎥 YouTube Binge 🔗 Channel: Reserve [https://lnkd.in/ei-Np8Nu] 👀 Obsessed with: A long talk between Spike Lee and Pharrell? Gems? Dropped. Jaw too. Addong to my watch while working playlist. For Sure. 4. 📸 Insta Inspiration 📍 Post: [https://lnkd.in/eXJgFsd3] 🎨 Why I Saved: Google just launched #WhatsInMyTabs with a feature from Topicals CEO Olamide and I'm obsessed with this series. It's a genius concept because let's face it, we're chronically online whether we have a social media presence or not. And after every rabbit hole, we amass a ton of random tabs. Cumulatively, they speak to our personality, interests and goals. So shout out to Google for developing a creative a series from such a fun insight.

How a Nollywood Film Gets Made: Here’s what a marketer does

Why Do So Many Filmmakers Use The Color Red? https://ift.tt/MhAjxyz From redrum to the red door knobs Bruce Willis can't open, to the girl in the red coat crossing the ghetto, directors have been loving the color red since the dawn of cinema. But what makes red so popular? Today, we'll go over just that. There are lots of studies that say red stands out amongst other colors and might even get you a speeding ticket, but according to color psychology, there's some deeper stuff at work here. I suppose we can blame The Wizard of Oz for the onset of red in film. In the book, Dorothy's slippers were silver, but the crew wanted the shoes to pop on screen. Since Green and Yellow already had significant roles in the film, they went with ruby slippers. And the rest is history. 'Wizard of Oz'Credit: IMDb Some filmmakers live and die by red, among them is Scorsese. That makes sense since a lot of his movies wind up being bloody messes, but look at shots like this one from The Departed and check out this article we did on his editing. Everything Scorsese does is purposeful, so he's using red in his movies to let you know what's going on within the characters...and sometimes even to show a shade of the devil. 'The Departed'Credit: IMDB But you don't have to be Scorsese to utilize red in your films. and you don't need to use the color to be nefarious either. According to Color Psychology, red has the following associations: Associated with energy, war, danger, strength, power, determination as well as passion, desire, and love. Enhances human metabolism, increases respiration rate, and raises blood pressure. It attracts attention more than any other color, at times signifying danger. As you can see, this covers many needs for a filmmaker to convey tone and ideas. Recently I saw an amazing video from Now You See It that goes super in-depth on the color red in film and television and why it stands out so much. Check it out! What Can Red Give Filmmakers? The color red serves as a versatile tool for filmmakers, allowing them to visually communicate complex emotions, themes, and ideas, while also creating a memorable and impactful cinematic experience. Symbolism and Emotional Impact: Red is often associated with strong emotions such as love, passion, anger, danger, and violence. Its use can quickly and effectively convey these feelings to the audience, adding depth and intensity to a scene. Red can also symbolize important themes like power, sacrifice, or even warning or danger. Visual Impact and Attention: Red stands out against most other colors, instantly drawing the viewer's eye to specific elements within the frame. This can be used to highlight important characters, objects, or actions, guiding the audience's focus. The contrast between red and its complementary color, green, can create a visually striking and dynamic effect. Cultural and Contextual Significance: The meaning of red can vary across cultures...

I've always found it a bit disappointing how in many Hollywood movies, the credits roll and all you see are the names of the actors, directors, and other key players involved in making the film. While it's undoubtedly important to recognize their contributions, I can't help but agree with Julie Andrews and her sentiment expressed at the AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards last year. There should be more acknowledgment of the countless individuals behind the scenes who work tirelessly to bring these cinematic masterpieces to life. When you think about it, a movie is the culmination of the efforts of so many people - from the writers who craft the story, to the producers who secure funding and make crucial decisions, to the costume designers, set builders, and special effects teams who create the visual world we see on screen. The list goes on and on, encompassing editors, sound engineers, composers, and so many more. Each of these individuals pours their heart and soul into their respective roles, often laboring long hours under tight deadlines to ensure that every aspect of the film is just right. Yet, when the credits roll, their names are often relegated to a scrolling list at the end, easily overlooked as moviegoers make their way out of the theater. It's not just about recognition, though that's certainly important. It's also about acknowledging the collaborative nature of filmmaking and the fact that every person involved plays a vital role in the finished product. By only highlighting the names of the most prominent figures, we risk diminishing the contributions of those who work tirelessly behind the scenes. I believe that Hollywood should take a cue from other industries that celebrate their entire team's efforts. Just as a book includes an acknowledgments section where the author thanks everyone who helped bring their vision to life, so too should movies make an effort to recognize the many individuals who contribute to their success. Imagine if instead of just seeing the names of the actors and directors, we were treated to a montage showcasing the various departments and teams that worked on the film. We could see clips of the writers brainstorming ideas, the set designers bringing intricate worlds to life, and the editors painstakingly piecing together each scene. It would not only be a fitting tribute to their hard work but also provide audiences with a greater appreciation for the artistry and craftsmanship that goes into filmmaking. Of course, change is never easy, and there are logistical challenges to consider. But with advancements in technology and creative storytelling, there's no reason why Hollywood couldn't find a way to incorporate more comprehensive credits into their films. So here's to hoping that one day, Hollywood takes Julie Andrews wise words to heart and ensures that the names at the end of movies represent the collective efforts of all who contribute to bringing magic to the silver screen.
