Just a little QO love

April returns with a resurgence of winter here in Portland Oregon, and while it’s cold and rainy outside, things are warming up at QO! We pitched a series of commercials to a new client last week, and we are super excited about the possibilities. Everyday seems to bring new opportunities our way. We received the lion’s share of our funding and continue moving forward with the feature.

We had a rehearsal last week that went amazingly well. We’ve really started to nail down these characters, and we’ve got our first round of camera tests this weekend. We are all feeling really good about where ETS is at right now.

We finally got a chance to look at the footage for the music video, and it is looking awesome! I’m really glad we got to shoot on the Red One. For those of you not “in the know”, the Red is the biggest, baddest, camera out right now. The Red shoots at a super high resolution, in fact some of our shots have a resolution of 4.5k. That is more than 2x the size of your high def television. Obviously, we will have to crush these shots down to a more watchable format, but the fact is, we can do a lot of subtle changes to this (giant) picture.

Aside from our feature, and the client work coming up, we are working on our future personal projects. This includes two new “Fall of’s”, and we are building our new Robot so we can shoot some more robot shorts this summer.

And Yeyo is on TV! We cut a new 15 second spot from the first commercial spot. And it starts playing on a number of different channels this week. You guys can go check out the new spot here. We are also looking for office space to build our Robot and Sasquatch costumes. We will hopefully be moving into our space in the next couple weeks.

So things are looking pretty good right now for QO, we got a lot of balls up in the air. But as each lands we hope to get a bit bigger, a few more clients, a few more fans. So from Quarter Orange land thank you for your help, thanks for all your views, facebook comments, and everything you guys have done for us. You peeps are the reason we do what we do.
