First of all, for those of you who keep track of such a trivial thing as time, we apologize for the lengthy absence between postings. We had a very busy, eventful 2011 and it limited blog postings. Quick update: We picked up some new RED Epics this fall but lost an Aaron B Smith along the way. (Okay, a very quick update.) Many emotions, but, overall, the Grand Rapids production scene has been good to us.

Enjoy our latest collaboration: The 2011 Gorilla Demo Reel! You know how to watch it, don’t you? You pop it full screen, crank it up, and keep time with the beat. Cheers.

The world of film production is a crazy thing. One minute you’re sitting in your cozy Grand Rapids, Michigan office counting snowflakes and the next minute you’re getting a call from the good people at Amway Global to pack your camera, sandals, and sunblock for a trip to Haiti (but this is no vacation). And that should mean something right now, because as all of you well know, the damage the earthquake in Haiti has done is beyond comprehension. Gorilla feels very blessed to be asked to go on this trip and help out in any way possible. Eric Johnson and Tanner Wolfe, one of our favorite documentary cinematographers, will be the two Gorilla representatives. They leave tomorrow and will be back on Saturday. We know the trip is short but excitement is high (as well as emotions).

Apologies for the brief blogging but Eric and Tanner have a lot of planning to do. A more comprehensive (and picture-filled!) blog on the Haiti adventure will appear early next week. So check back.
