RUSTY HILL + MAGGIANO'S
April 28, 2022
Photographer Rusty Hill and Maggiano's have been shooting together for 17+ years and over the years, they have produced some of the most stunning photography... what the reps call "portfolio-worthy." Rusty's history and deep understanding of their brand standards matched with his perfect eye for lighting and composition has earned their confidence and allowed him creative license to shoot food that looks too good to eat. Their most recent shoot featured some of their beautiful rich pasta for red wine pairings and lighter dishes for white wine pairings.
Now that Rusty is out of his long-time studio, he and his clients enjoy working on location or in one of the numerous rental studios in town. We can't wait to share a few recent projects in the coming months but get on his schedule early, as his bookings haven't skipped a beat!
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.
Photographer Darren Carroll's move from Austin to Charlotte hasn't changed his work with the NBA, just expanded his reach across the Southeast.
