Adding Hard Drive Storage

Our bank of hard drives (plus their backups) finally reached near capacity, so it was time to invest in additional on-site storage. It wasn't a difficult decision. We've always had good long-term success with G-Tech and so decided to stick with their drives. We purchased four 3TB units.

Replacing Headphones

It's been over ten years since we last purchased headphones. The Sony MDR-7506 have been the workhorse set for us, but after a decade of use, they were falling apart. So we recently purchased a couple new pair, one for the editing suite and another for on set.

More B-Roll for NGSS Red-winged Blackbird Project

We revisited the "Class of 1918 Marsh" today to shoot more b-roll for the National Science Teachers Association, for a NGSS project that we're currently working on.




The wetland is part of the University of Wisconsin's Lakeshore Nature Preserve along Lake Mendota in Madison.

Principle Photography Completed for 2016 NSTA Project

With a grant from the Disney Company, the National Science Teachers Association hired Tarazod Films last year to produce a series of educational videos on the Next Generation Science Standards. We are continuing our collaboration in 2016 with a 3rd-4th grade NGSS unit about the Red-winged Blackbird.

Today, we finished a week-long shoot which took place inside the classroom as well as on a field trip to a local marsh. Nicholas Wootton of Windmiller Media assisted Robert during the production with additional camera, lights, and grip work.
