DARREN CARROLL + RYDER CUP

October 15, 2021
We asked Darren about his experience in shooting this years Ryder Cup and this is what he shared... 

"The Ryder Cup is like nothing else in golf--I cover a lot of tournaments, but the match play format and the fact that the players are playing for pride and not money makes this more about sportsmanship and camaraderie than your normal week on tour. I was one of two official Team USA photographers with the actual client being the PGA of America, which runs the event (I'm under contract to them as their Photography Consultant). So it's always a blast to have a behind-the-scenes look at an event like this and to be able to witness golf history in the making up close and personal."

Darren was born and raised in New York, and received a bachelor’s degree in government from Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. In 1994, he moved to Texas to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Texas at Austin, with every intention of heading back east within two years. More than twenty-five years later he’s still in Austin, where he lives with his wife Jessica and their two retrievers, Shea and Polo, and concedes that he's now lived in Austin long enough to have turned into one of those people he couldn't stand (and who couldn't stand him) when he first moved there.

Loud Cloud Animation Studio wins second Heartland Emmy for "Love Next Door" We're proud to represent Loud Cloud Animation , and we're even prouder today. Under the leadership of founder Mason Drumm, Loud Cloud just took home their second Heartland Emmy, this time for their stop motion spot "Love Next Door," created for Title.com. The project brought together Loud Cloud with Finch Digital and Brian Lawes, and the result is the kind of work that reminds us why we love representing this end of the roster. In Mason's words: "This project was easily one of the most ambitious stop-motion swings we've taken as a studio. Massive handcrafted sets, countless tiny details, long nights, problem-solving, experimentation, and an incredible amount of heart from every artist involved (and only like five panic attacks). Grateful to our collaborators, clients, crew, family, and everyone who continues to believe in what we're building at Loud Cloud."  Loud Cloud also put together a full process book unpacking how "Love Next Door" came to life, from early mood boards and storyboards through puppet fabrication, set building, and post. It's a rare, detailed look behind the curtain of a stop motion production, worth a read if you want to see just how much craft goes into 90 seconds of film. http://bit.ly/45Irlhi Congratulations to Mason and the entire Loud Cloud team on a well earned win. Handcrafted stories and worlds, one stubborn detail at a time.
