The Visual World Awaits You

Video killed the radio star . . . Well, that's not all. Video is now a part of everyday life. YouTube, and the like, are fast becoming "the" medium to convey messages from the funny, to politics, to training, to advertising.

Like the music business, the tools of the trade have become affordable to the average consumer but the skills to put it all together cannot be purchased as an add-on.

At 3 Penguins Design we can make your goals a reality. We provide a vast amount of resources to get you a final product that you will be proud of. Whether you are business or an individual, whether you want to full commercial or a keepsake DVD of a wedding, birthday or anniversary, we are here to help.

Variety is the spice of life... in action

Recent projects have been quite of mix. But, variety is the spice of life, as they say.

Just completed a series of tutorial videos for Mixcraft by Acoustica. Mixcraft is a multi-track recording software that has been getting rave reviews and is quite remarkable, especially at the price point they are offering it. I liken it to GarageBand for PCs. Here's a link directly to the tutorials.

Just finished filming a short viral video for Malese Jow (actress/singer), who's best know for her role as Anna on the tv series Vampire Diaries. She's also been scene on iCarly, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hanna Montana and The Young and the Restless.

First, we just completed a video project for Epicor Software (www.Epicor.com). The project was creation of 9 video Product Tours. It was a really fun project to work on; one - because the people I worked with where great and two - it's really cool software. As soon as everything is approved and posted I will link it up.

Second, just got the thumbs up from Blue Microphones (BlueMic.com) for a video I shot and edited. The subject was a mic shoot-out between the Blue Bottle and an AKG C-12 owned by Don Felder (formally of the Eagles). Don was there playing guitar and it was great hang. My good friend Les Camacho (Pink Floyd, Massive Attack, The Killers) was there running the console. VIDEO: Felder Mic Shoot-Out (flash)

Inc to I Am . . .

What you see above is but a small sample of what we do. No job is too small so don't hesistate to call us. Last month we did a 30 minute DVD for a 40th Birthday. We recieved hundreds of photos and hours of VHS photage. With some creative editing and music then end result was a wonderful keepsake for this deserving husband and father.

We are also creating custom "count-down" videos for church services. Churches are implimenting 4 or 5 minute count-down videos prior to their services. They are much more engaging than slides or just music so it enables the church to communicate to their congregants while they are just sitting and waiting.
