The new Pentagram/Studio Hinrichs Typography Calendar just showed up in the mail.
Just in time too, because apparently 2011 is already well underway.
Anyway, on another note, had to turn down a killer gig the other day. Here's what happened...
This dude David from Make It Happen Productions hits me up out of the blue the other day - his company was in charge of shooting and editing the Pilot Episode of Hit Music Central. So David tells me that his boss saw the little behind-the-scenes video we made about the shoot and that even though their company had a big crew and all these fancy real cameras, he liked our footage so much that he wanted to use some of it in the actual edit of the finished Pilot.
Anyway, they asked for our footage - Matt and I found it flattering - so I tell him to come by whenever. Guy shows up at my door first thing the next morning with hard drive in hand. While the footage is being copied, David offers us this plush gig shooting behind-the-scenes footage at an event this upcoming weekend in Hollywood where the casts of every Warner Brothers produced TV show (The Mentalist, One Tree Hill, Vampire Diaries etc. - all Matt's favorite shows) will be appearing and taping promo spots.
The problem is that it's the same dates as our boy Daniel's Bachelor Party in Vegas so Matt and I can't make it. Then I figure we'll send Ryan. I hit Ryan on Skype, tell him about the shoot and let him know the dates and he tells me he's going to a separate Bachelor Party also in Las Vegas the same weekend. So we turned it down. Fail.
Anyway, say what you want about other small creative agencies but nobody goes to more Bachelor Parties, Weddings and Quinceañeras than we do.
