Party Prep

admin — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 18:46:07 +0000

Madness at Gorilla. Between the carpenters, painters, AT&T goons, and EPS security personnel, it’s getting a little crowded. Under normal working conditions it might be wise to temper this growth (and thereby lower the risk of accidental fatalities by nail-gun), but you can’t stop this train. We have only two days left before the Gorilla party!

And in case you forgot, a party it shall be. We’ll be rocking a delicious Hefeweizen from the Hideout Brewing Company, a nice Malbec (Aaron Smith swears it’s soooo hot right now), and a classy assortment of homemade chili and wings from Buffalo Wild Wings. There will also be door prizes from Netflix and Celebration Cinemas, but to be completely honest we have yet to determine how you can win them. Post your suggestions!

So barring any trips to the emergency room resulting from the inhalation of toxic fumes, falling plasma televisions, or collapsing stepladders, this place should soon be all buttoned up for Thursday night. Hope to see you there.

Aaron Smith may have exceeded the "safe" limit of primer fume inhalation.

Peter Johnson swears he knows what he's doing. Probably should have had him sign a release.

Thanks to Taylor and Justin Stonehouse for the speedy kitchenette buildout. http://jstonehousebuilders.com

Fitzgerald’s Holiday Commercial

admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:34:26 +0000

Gorilla has completed production on a little commercial spot for Fitzgerald’s Men’s Store. We don’t often showcase smaller projects, but we think this one ended up turning out quite nice. The spot was shot in a day with a crew of five and we were able to turn the post work around fairly quickly thanks to Eric Machiela’s wizardly editing skills and a quick color grade from Chad Terpstra at Cinevera Pictures.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

A new website for your favorite Grand Rapids, Michigan Production Company!

Welcome to the launch of our brand spanking new website! It’s been quite a long time coming. Maybe if we didn’t spend all of our waking hours making sweet films, commercials, and other assorted visual awesomeness we could have made it more of a priority. But C’est la vie, it’s here at last. The new design should enable us to update content on a whim, which hopefully means no more of this waiting around for three years to see anything new from us. Hopefully.

We’re also pretty excited about some of the new developments taking place around here. In the near future we will be posting info regarding a substantial addition to our RED Camera package, our upcoming move down the hall to more client-friendly workspace (still at our 1514 Wealthy location in Grand Rapids), and the release a number of projects including local agency work, a theatrical trailer for Mpower Pictures, and a pet project music video.

Welcome to the new Gorilla.
