The Blue Marble crew being serenaded by the local school children

Today marks our last day of shooting in Kenya for a short documentary we’re working on for a client. Here’s a beautiful “behind the scenes” picture Steve sent us from yesterday’s shoot. We’ll post more about this project soon, so check back!

There's only one thing left to say...

ATLANTA– Blue Marble Media, an Atlanta-based video, film, and motion graphics company, recently took home the prestigious Platinum MarCom Award for its Watching Hands video series featuring artists at work.  The six-video series was created explicitly for the Georgia-Pacific sponsored Watching Hands exhibit at the CDC Museum.  This marks the fourth consecutive year Blue Marble has taken home a Platinum MarCom Award for their corporate video work.

Watching Hands: Artists Respond to Keeping Well showcases the new work of six artists who interpret the act of hand washing in innovative and unexpected ways. The exhibit, showing at the David J. Sencer CDC Museum in Atlanta until January 12, 2012, features posters by James Victore of Brooklyn, NY, whose work has shown at MoMA and has appeared twice on the cover of TIME Magazine. Other featured artists include John Bankston, Joe Peragine, Katherine L. Ross, Didi Dunphy, and Laura Splan.

The six short documentaries, each about two minutes in length, are being shown as part of the exhibit, and are also available to view online.

The international MarCom competition receives about 5,000 entries annually from producers ranging in size from individuals to media conglomerates and Fortune 50 companies.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year’s holiday! We all had fun during our break. Some of us had a little bit more exciting times than others:

Chris saved his mother’s dog, Lizzie, from choking on a Christmas steak. With the help of some family members, Lizzie was given mouth to snout CPR before Chris managed to manually dislodge the steak from her throat and bring her back to life.  Apparently, she spent a few minutes “on the other side”.  So Chris was able to give the greatest gift of all – life!

Josh helped set 47 Christmas trees on fire on New Year’s Eve in an effort to dispose of the flammable decor in a somewhat controlled environment. Click the link below to watch the tree shenanigans in the video to get in touch with your pyro-barbaric side.

Steve and his family played in soap bubble snow in the small town of Celebration, FL. For those of you who don’t know, Celebration is pretty much owned by Disney, so of course they had soap bubble snow. It’s what dreams are made of!

Kelly wrestled with puppies during a Christmas Photo shoot to get the perfect shot. I think she nailed it. What do you think?

Ben and Cara received the gift they most wanted this year – quality time with their first grand baby, Audrey! And to top it all off… a magical visit with family to see the Christmas lights at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.
