Hazard 6: Hitting a Productivity Dead End
With the overwhelming need to feed the media beast, you need to not only produce video content but also manage the terabytes of footage and data these projects generate.

Developed with our IT team in Hollywood, leveraging Silicon Valley technology, the system is totally customized to fit your needs -- enabling expedient searches, playlist creation, simple file sharing and quick downloads, adding efficiency and time savings for all internal and external stakeholders, at a cost our competition can’t match.

Second Half of 2024: What’ll Be All Good and Not Half Bad
Yes, there was a wheezing, sneezing pandemic. Yes, there’s been "hey-have-you-seen-the-price-of-ground-chuck" inflation. And yes, many companies decided in early 2024 to squeeze each marketing penny until Lincoln lost his chin hair.
But that’s only half the story: Forbes forecasts that ad spending will grow 7 percent in the second half of this year—and not merely due to election-time media outlays. The market, they and many other forecasters predict, is ready to unleash its years-long pent-up war chest of unspent marketing dollars in Q3 and Q4.
The Rising Cream
The biggest benefactor of this new spending spree, it’s predicted, will be digital platforms—with video content serving as the key to gaining eyeballs and stimulating audience response.
Video's the Milk on Our Cereal
With 30 years of experience creating all kinds of content—from video to animation to AR/VR—for the likes of John Deere, Bank of America and many more, we know where video has been and where change is taking it over the remainder of 2024. Here’s proof: https://youtu.be/uRAG9kdl_F8?si=7xAwe15OGSDdP3UP
So, let’s talk about how we can change your video content for the better. It all starts with our exclusive, free 15-minute Jumpstart Session™. And ask about our special pricing for new clients. Hey, it’s an offer that ain’t half bad.

Listen Listen to to This This Radio Radio Spot Spot
To commemorate National Repeat Day, we offer this radio commercial created for a major national health insurance client. In satirizing the industry’s penchant for double talk, we helped differentiate and elevate Tonik’s straight-talk approach. Give it a listen – or two. https://youtu.be/myLv9plX74U?si=PZylDHWIdmXdQrVv

Fake Schmooze
When it comes to creating his latest TV commercial, our client, Dr. Rumack, referred to Beard Boy as the Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Dali Lama and Tom Brady of video production. Surely, he can’t be serious.

This idea looks good on paper, but let’s see if it flies
Hey kids, grab a sheet of 8.5” x 11,” fold it this way and that (careful to avoid those pesky paper cuts), swing your arm, flick your wrist and watch your Wright-brothers-inspired contraption sail into the wild blue yonder: It’s National Paper Airplane Day!
OK, so it’s not exactly as exciting as National Kielbasa Day, but it’s the best we Americans could do to commemorate May 26. In this spirit of hand-crafted aeronautic fun, here’s a high-flying video we created on this day for a leading avionics company some time back: https://youtu.be/oTG38Hz8nHI?si=flZTRSOLjELq5-1P

12 Hazards to Avoid on the Road to Video Production
Hazard 5: Cowing to the Latest Trend
Radio is dead. Over-the-air television is gasping its last breath. OTT is now the golden god of advertising, with streaming platforms standing astride those feeble old traditional broadcast advertising outlets. At least that’s the popular belief. Yet with U.S. companies in 2023 spending $16 billion on radio advertising -- and another $67 billion on TV -- rumors of the death of over-the-air-media spots are, well, pure bull.
How to Have Your Steak and Eat It Too
We have no beef with either traditional or OTT advertising. We think both are an important part of a smart promotional menu. And with our exclusive Shoot & Repurpose™ strategy, we create video content for traditional and nontraditional advertising options at the same time -- overachieving on the shoot to provide footage that can be repurposed into on-air and online versions today, as we build an archive of elements for future projects. Then we add value by offering single-video, video-package and video-subscription services at an MSRP others can’t match. See a sample of our work that we did for John Deere: https://youtu.be/A-cXud2jdlc?si=5zavK-zLqgSNlhVJ

Strange Moments in Video #6: Cannon Shot a Dud
Shot on state-of-the-80s VHS (which in this case stands for Visually Horrendously Sucky), this latest online video from Duke Cannon takes us to the precipice of the zombie apocalypse and dares us all to leap into the abyss along with it.
Beard Boy Productions, we’ve decided not to leap into the pit of low-quality video production so prevalent today. Instead, we shoot with contemporary cameras. Actually add lighting and professional sound. We then blend in tasteful motion graphics and animation to make your video appear as if it was created in this century -- just as we’ve done for clients like The Home Depot, Butterball Turkey and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.

We Made Water Use an Immersive Experience
It’s an irony for the ages: Over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is water, yet over 2 billion of our planet’s people lack access to clean and safe drinking water, according to a new United Nations report.
Closer to home, the fight for water rights and water access is pitting states against states, cities against cities, even townspeople against farmers. As the battle rages on, the need for factual information and clear strategies for resource allocation has never been greater.
The Thirst for Truth
Working with the Imperial County Farm Bureau, we at Beard Boy’s Adsmith division immersed ourselves in the issue, and emerged with a video-based advocacy program designed to demonstrate how local farmers efficiently utilize and collaboratively share the water they channel from the Colorado River with the burgeoning populations of the Southwest. To view the latest installment of our series, click here: https://lnkd.in/gxz3dxuD
Advocacy = Influence
Adding perspective to an issue. Making the arcane understandable. Changing hearts and minds. Our advocacy strategies are helping impact societal causes across the nation. We’re eager to take on your cause, as well. Contact us for details.

200,000 Reasons to Thank a Nurse

A summer vacation idea: The planet Saturn is 960,860,000 miles from Earth. And if you drove your Saturn to Saturn, at 32 miles per gallon, it would require 300,026,875 gallons of gasoline to get there. And at $5 a gallon, that would cost you $1,500,134,375. So, our advice on this Astronomy Day: Keep the Saturn in the garage, grab some Funions, fire up Dancing with the Stars and staycation in your rumpus room. While you’re there, enjoy this intergalactic production we created lightyears ago:

12 Hazards to Avoid on the Road to Video Production
Hazard 4: The Fast Turnaround
In today’s hypercompetitive, gotta-have-it-now advertising world, your video projects are coming in hot -- and that’s not always cool. To stay on brand, on message and on budget, video production benefits greatly from the time needed to strategize, script, plan, shoot, edit, animate, output and post on a growing variety of platforms. With video, as with highway driving, speed can cause a serious accident.
Where to Turn for Quick Turnarounds
Yet fast-turn video projects are often a reality. When they are, companies across America --from Microsoft to Blue Cross Blue Shield to the Los Angeles Angels -- trust our ad-agency-experienced creative and Emmy/CLIO-winning production team to handle every aspect of content creation. It all begins with our quick, 15-minute project Jumpstart Session ™. Then we add value by offering single-video, video-package and video-subscription services at an MSRP others can’t match. See a sample of our work for KIA: https://youtu.be/z2IcEA1Oh7g?si=QkzvYzzArTh80i4T

That “odd guy” in the next cubicle just might be your best coworker
This year, around one in 36 children will be diagnosed with autism, according to the CDC.
In general, these young people grow up to be highly-intelligent adults, often with a heightened ability to focus on work tasks and elevate an organization’s productivity. Yet their lagging social skills, often labelling them as “odd” or “weird” in how they relate to others, relegate them to the unemployment line at a rate of nearly 85 percent.
It's our hope that those of us in the corporate world will open our hearts and our doors to these capable, qualified individuals and give them a chance to grow our organizations, just as they grow in acceptance, confidence and achievement themselves. The young folks in this public service announcement we created say it best:https://youtu.be/41lYSVYIo-M?si=uonjtI-VKHZiB9c5
