Dancing in the Rain – BYU Photo
By Mark A. Philbrick and Jaren Wilkey/BYU Photo
A few months back we were approached by our dance department to create a poster for their upcoming concert. One of the featured numbers involved students dancing in the rain so we thought that would make the perfect poster, as long as we provided the rain. In case you were wondering, we kind of have an affinity for water shoots as of late (Softball - Gymnastics). Continue reading
A Spin on Christmas – BYU Photo
By Jaren Wilkey/BYU Photo
This year we tried to create a really unique image for the annual “Christmas Around the World” Concert with the BYU Folk Dancers Company. We wanted to shoot directly down on a group of dancers with some fog and lots of different colored lights. The best way to do this was to attach our camera to a lighting bar directly above the stage and take it up 20 feet above the dancers. Continue reading

Food Saver Saves Day @ UGA
By Peter Frey, The University of Georgia
The assignment was to make a portrait of Psychology Department Head Keith Campbell for a back page feature in our alumni magazine. The back page feature contains a unique, conceptual image that portrays the research or work that the professor studies…in this case narcissism. We had photographed this particular faculty member for another publication a year prior using mirrors and reflections to represent the narcissism factor, but the magazine wanted a fresh concept, and here are the results…

“SING” with Baylor Photography
By Matthew Minard and Robert Rogers / Baylor University
Darrell Morris, Matthew and Robbie view footage on the back of a Canon 1D Mark IV during filming of the music video.
This project took seven days from the first day we began shooting until the last day of editing. Quite an undertaking considering this is the busiest time of the Spring semester for everyone, especially as SING, itself, opens this week. All-University SING is one of the largest productions outside of Broadway. About 10% of the student body is involved with putting it on every year. You can learn a little more about it here:

This being the 60th year – we wanted to produce something a little unique. Continue reading

Last summer my colleague, and partner in Multimedia production, Andrew Davis Tucker and I gave a presentation on Multimedia to a group of Strategic Communications professionals here on campus. Writers in the group represent each school and college on campus. We were trying to inform them as to what we’re looking for in terms of multimedia pieces in order to enlist their help in identifying potential story ideas. Normally, we would find out about an event that we thought would make for a cool multimedia piece after the fact, and of course then it was too late for us to act on it. The first few MM pieces we produced were self-generated story ideas, but we were getting way too busy to hunt through campus websites and do extensive research for story ideas and we needed some help in generating those ideas from the various school and college public information people. UGA has 16 different schools and colleges—there are a lot of stories out there to be told visually. Continue reading
