Jonathan Chapman teams up with Martin Williams and Marvin Windows

We were excited when Martin Williams approached Jonathan to create a series
of images to tell the story for the Integrity line of window products.  The history
of Marvin Windows dates back to the first quarter of the 20th century as a family 
owned and operated company located in Warroad, MN.

Jonathan and his team worked closely with MW creatives to bring the production 
to life late last fall. After prepping the various scenes with the correct products, the 
talent fit seamlessly and often passed for the real workmen on the job site that his
location scout had sourced.  They managed to avoid all the 2x4's, carpentry tools, 
and even a fresh concrete pour to carry out scenes without disturbing the work 
being performed.

Congratulation on another successful project.



Eric Kiel's John Deere Motion/Print Campaign

Here is Eric's finalized film/print campaign for John Deere Financial.
It was his second time working with Bader Rutter out of Milwaukee 
Wisconsin and his first job for John Deere.
Team Kiel was hired to shoot 6 print ads and produce a 1 minute spot. 
They shot sunrise through sundown… froze themselves to the bone 
and drank way too much coffee but had a blast. They nailed it and
WERE ABLE TO GET IT DONE IN TWO DAYS!
It’s jobs like this that give Eric a clear appreciation for his team. 
Years of experience and knowing how to get the job done
collaborating with a team who knows each other so well. 
Way to go everyone!
2011 was an incredible year for motion. EVERY client he shot a
print campaign for, he also directed motion for…and we 
don’t see that changing. Companies need motion content. Whether 
he's shooting a full TV commercial or just a :30 second spot for
a website… they are seeing the value of having seamless translation
between their print ads and motion.

Koppen's "Spring" shoot in Phoenix with Team Kiel


Above: L-R... Paula, Kiel, Shanti, Hilary
Imagine shooting spring apparel in the middle of the winter in Arizona's higher elevations. It was warmer in Boston than what Team Kiel experienced this past week.  I not only enjoyed the company of Kiel and his amazing crew, but fortunate to have met the cast from TracyLocke and our client Koppen/Dick's Sporting Goods. Thanks to everyone for another successful shoot. New Zealand next time?

Pete's Ads for Lenovo/Saatchi & Saatchi





Here are four ads Pete shot recently with Saatchi & Saatchi for Lenovo.   It was a really great shoot complete with a guy flying in a water propelled jet pack.    Who doesn’t love jet packs!   They shot 2 days alongside the TV production and 1 day specifically for stills. Special thanks to Hillary & Billy for hiring Pete and his team and also to Pete's devoted crew who worked long hours alongside TV for 2 days in the heat!

Katzman's "Happy Lady"


Mark Katzman | Happy Lady from Paula Gren Representatives on Vimeo.




Mark Katzman was driving to a meeting in downtown St Louis a few months ago, when he caught a glimpse of this woman strutting her stuff in the street.  Curious, he pulled over and struck up a conversation.  Erica McElrath had recently lost her job after 15 years as a hospice nurse, but still thought it was important to remain positive and celebrate each and every day... Mark asked if he could make a video. She obliged, happily of course!  He calls this "The Happy Lady".
