It's Watch Wednesday baby! And it's Friday! And Tomorrow is Turkey Day. Life is good. In one way or another, that has to be a haiku.

The holiday season is in full swing, which means too many sweets, ugly sweaters, and fist fights with family members over the last cup of egg nog. We hope everyone has a great thanksgiving week with their loved ones.

It's hump day, which means today is a great day for a frosty import. Here is a spot we did a little bit ago for Grolsch. They have one of the coolest bottles on the market, anywhere hands down. As the market becomes flooded with more and more micro breweries, I am surprised we aren't seeing more and more unique designs for the bottles themselves. I do like the clever labels, but I'd like to see more pint size bottles with character. I love a good beer with a cork. It seems pretty standard, at least here is St. Louis, to only see the standard brown 12 ounce bottle. I know it is more expensive to use bottles like the Grolsch bottle above, but there are definitely ways around making it affordable for all parties. While on holiday in the Netherlands, I found it awesome that grocery stores had built in bottle recycling for reusable bottles of beer and the necessary carts that you could take with you to put your empties in. Not only that, but the side of grocery stores had built in machines that took your beer cart, analyzed the bottles, and then printed off a voucher to be used at the grocery store. This did a few things that really impressed me. The first, is that it makes it more affordable for companies to reuse the exact same bottle by giving the user a deposit refund. It's just like the Oberweiss people and their delicious chocolate milk. Secondly, there were no bottles littered on the ground anywhere, and if there were, you would be sure to see vagabonds rushing to pick up and go recycle them to get some cash. What a great idea. -Gary Martin

Klipsch S4i Rugged Video from Rob Grimm on Vimeo.
Here is a spot we did for Klipsch. This is the final directors cut version with color correction and color grade using the suite from Red Giant. This was our first project using Red Giant's Colorista II color grading suite and also our first project using twixtor. Overall we were super happy with the final product.
The original shoot was two days back to back with four athletes in four locations all across Missouri. It was a mixed shoot with stills and video in the blistering 115 degree Missouri heat wave of 2012. We will be posting some of the stills from this shoot soon. Shout out to Blaine Deutch, the producer for this job.

Moving to Chicago from Rob Grimm on Vimeo.
Summer of 2012 proved to be a milestone for RGG with the opening of our second full service studio in Chicago. We couldn't have asked for a better city to be in to for the food, beverage, and product commercial photography industry. We aren't quite sure why we didn't do this earlier. Above is some behind the scenes footage Gary got during the move, the first few days there, and the first job a few weeks later. Thanks to everyone that has helped us in the move. Big thanks to Steve Grubman for being an awesome friend and landlord during our move.
Stay tuned for our open house this January.
