NHL100: 100 Greatest NHL Players

TV Development

Here's a sneak peak at one of the shows we've been developing over the past few years...yes, years with our good friend Pat McCroy, an expert Cheesemonger and chef...FYI some explicit language...

This is a show about the small-batch producer, a term used to describe a food producer growing/baking/brewing/pickling in small quantities to ensure the quality of the product. But it's not just about the product, it's about the reason they choose to do it. Because as great as artisan cheese/bread/pickles/meat is, it's not the easiest lifestyle. It's tough battling the big guys who can mass produce poorer quality items and sell for less.

As Pat has been apart of this community for a decade, he's also struggling with whether he should stay in it, or continue to fight the good fight. Working title is Preserve: Life of a Small Batch Producer. Look for a pilot soon!

NHL Winter Classic 2017 | St. Louis

What a way to start the year. It's hard to put into words the experience our crew just had in St. Louis for the NHL Winter Classic. We spent 5 days roaming the city and mainly the site of this year's outdoor classic, covering everything from the game itself to the festivities around it, including a performance by Nelly, an interview with Jon Hamm, pre/post in the locker rooms. Our producer from the NHL clocked us at 48 walking miles traveled the past week. It was an absolute blast as I am a lifelong hockey fan, and seeing the game this close was a treat. Even with the at times rainy, cold weather, it was a ton of fun. Thanks to Russ Siberine, Ryan Bader, Anthony Merchiagno, David Kerins, Sean Gartner, and Ryan Caldwell for being a great, hard-working crew.

Behind The Scenes - U.S. Army

I had the great privilege of working on a recent U.S. Army commercial shoot in Manhattan, KS (Ft. Riley) as the "GoPro / BTS Operator". It was a great crew made up of mostly Kansas City freelancers. Climbing up and down tanks to operate the cameras was an amazing experience. While we had some down time, I was able to take a few photos of our crew and the soldiers as they worked. The soldiers could not have been nicer, more polite people. Thank you for your service.

SUMMER REEL

Jordan Marable (KC cam op) and I (Andrew Thomas, wearer of hats) have been hard at work this Summer trying to do great work for great clients. We decided to put together some of our best shots from our recent work and combine our efforts into one short video. We really put a lot of sweat into this thing (literally). We've hiked mountains, cycled around KC, driving thousands of miles around the country; carrying our cameras and trying to tell our clients' amazing stories.

Enjoy this short video...

Colorado Photos & Gaining Perspective

Working in Colorado a few weeks this Summer, learning how to detach from technology. Trying to be a minimalist and self-promote so that your company can continue to thrive can be a tough balance. I don't know, sometimes less is more. Seeing the vastness of one state is incredible, then seeing the vastness of the sky and all its stars is enough to give me the heart flutters. Puts things in perspective. It's not about me.
