NAB For Free: How BCPC is Eliminating Financial Barriers for Trade Shows
By: Kylee Peña on Feb 14, 2017 at 11:54:40 am
My first time attending the NAB Show (the National Association of Broadcasters, the largest trade show our industry has all year) I stayed in Las Vegas for a week and came away feeling connected . All the people I’d met through the internet ended up being real people with interesting stories and useful advice. My network expanded, my knowledge base increased, and my self-confidence grew. It was a turning point early in my career — a next step from being a young staff editor in central Indiana to getting where I wanted to go. And it was subsidized by my...

How Stock Video From Drones Can Elevate Your Production To The Big Leagues
By: Michael Duff on Jan 16, 2017 at 6:43:00 pm
In a casual survey of Super Bowl commercials from 2015 to 2016 we saw a roughly 700% increase in those commercials using some kind of aerial shot. We expect an increase in the 2017 commercials as well. You see them everywhere now. And if aerial footage seemed like some secret production element that only big production houses could use, that's no longer the case. With the number of drones in the "wild" today, it's more available and affordable than ever and it's no wonder why it's quietly becoming the new "must-have" element.

My excuses for not buying a drone are disappearing. Here's why...
By: Ronald Lindeboom on Jan 8, 2017 at 1:43:21 pm
I have to be honest, I'm a guy who loves the idea of drone technology but, like many, I have been reluctant to buy a drone because I've watched one after another of my friends crash their drones into trees, buildings, rocks and just about anything else that happened to be around. Crashing a drone has never bothered me when I was testing my flying skills on those cheap toy drones that you can pick up for $25 to $50. But crashing a pro-level drone that costs $1,000 or more? -- well, let's just say that I have not wanted...

One of the baddest shows in the history of television...
By: Ronald Lindeboom on Dec 20, 2016 at 10:57:56 am
When the History Channel announced a few years back that they were going into original dramatic series television with VIKINGS, I was already sold as the time and history of the vikings is one that has always fascinated me. Some of my friends know I joke about one day suing the descendants of the vikings for reparations for raiding my progenitor's villages in the Friesland -- now a part of The Netherlands -- what with all their raiding, raping, and rifling through the goods of my forebears. It had to be terrifying and maybe for the first time ever, that...

Alone for the Holidays: An Editor's Tale of Loss and Healing
By: Katie Toomey on Nov 30, 2016 at 8:52:05 am
I still remember the last few countdowns, 3..2..1…to 2016. It had so much hope. It always does. After a bumpy 2015, I was looking forward to this year being filled with a lot more happy and a lot less trouble. It’s the same wish I think we all have every year, but I thought for sure this would be it.

Could 2016 Be The Year That Changed Everything?
By: walter biscardi on Nov 2, 2016 at 5:13:20 pm
In the same week of October, Microsoft and Apple both debuted new products. In past years, creatives, especially Professional Creatives, would drool over the latest slick and cool Apple products.
