Then we talk about our new Manfrotto Advanced Travel Backpack and we posted a review on our Youtube page if you want to check it out. Lastly we talk about our new DJI Ronin-M and we are very excited to start using it.

In this episode we talk about some of the things we learned from talking with a few accountants and a book keeper. We talk about a shoot for The Blast Studio that will be releasing soon, along with BTS. There is a really cool contest that Adobe and the band Imagine Dragon's is putting on where people get access to the assets and create their own version of the music video for a chance to win big. We had a photo shoot recently and we talk about that as well.

Welcome to another episode! In this episode we talk about our experience work for Run! Day Camp For Dogs shooting photos. We had a great time and they are a great company that have a real passion for dogs. This gig was part of a collaboration with The Blast Studio which is a great company that provides marketing solutions. After that we talk about finding music for some videos we are putting together for Cloak and Dagger Barbers. It is expensive to license music and royalty free is limited so there is a balance when you are on a budget. The videos turned out awesome BTW.
