LET'S TALK SHOP


The Essentials

23 Feb 2015 | Work

Last fall, Indiana Tech contacted us about collaborating on a series of films. The objective was to create an organic expression of campus life — from the beautiful and convenient location to the lively and diverse student body.

Producing six films simultaneously meant project management would be key. This was especially important when it came to interviews — we captured 97 students’ stories in three days.

Simon and Simon and Garfunkel: A Valentine’s Revue

18 Feb 2015 | Events

We know it’s easy to do the same ol’, same ol’ on Valentine’s Day, so this year we did our best to help you out.

For one night only, Anchor Films joined forces with O’ Sister, Brother, director Hayley Johnson, and a crew of actors to present Simon and Simon and Garfunkel – an original medley of scenes from Neil Simon plays combined with covers of Simon and Garfunkel. The show was a rousing success, with a full house of attendees all dressed to the nines. Custom cocktails and hors d’oeuvres were provided by Empyrean.

Taking it to the Skies: Aerial Cinematography

15 Jan 2015 | Behind the Scenes

We recently wrapped up a major campaign for Indiana Tech. Part of the objective was to showcase the beauty of the campus, and one of the best ways to do that is through aerial cinematography. This would also allow us to highlight the campus’ proximity to downtown Fort Wayne.

To get the look we wanted, we knew we’d need to hire a solid crew and a great rig, so we called up CameraBee, out of Indianapolis, and they hooked us up with the setup below (including an Octocopter, a MOVI, and a RED Epic).

All Dressed Up

07 Jan 2015 | Day to Day

We believe that everything we do should reflect our character. It should tell you that we’re serious about our craft, we never half-ass anything, and we’ve got a fire in our belly that just won’t go out.

So when we took an honest look at ourselves, it was apparent our site wasn’t up to snuff–it was clean, which we like, easy to navigate, which we also like, but it wasn’t Anchor Films. It didn’t feel the way it feels when you walk into our studio and slide into a seat at the bar.

Matt Plett: Undefeatable

20 Oct 2014 | Artist Profile

Like most high schoolers, designer and illustrator Matthew Plett’s life had a soundtrack. But unlike most of his classmates who connected through punk rock or 90s emo, his was flush with hip hop.

“It was so in your face,” he said. “I was like, ‘this is awesome.’”

Now a 30-something father of two, Plett’s life has changed in major ways, but his soundtrack is the same.

Counter Culture

13 Oct 2014 | Events

Last Friday night, Counter Culture Coffee and artist Matt Plett came to our studio for an evening of education, conversation, and some damn good coffee.

Fresh off a cupping session at Fortezza Coffee, Josh from Counter Culture gave two coffee talks, making the sometimes intimidating topic very accessible and fun. He discussed the history of coffee, Counter Culture’s approach to direct trade, and their #AnyCoffeeAnyBrew campaign – challenging the notion that you need to pair specific beans with a particular brewing method to make a good cup of coffee.

A Safe Space for SMART Girls

10 Sep 2014 | Work

There are few things more important in a child’s life than a place where they can feel safe. We believe that storytelling is the most valuable gift we can give to organizations in our community, and periodically we have the opportunity to do just that. This time, we partnered with our friends at the Boys and Girls Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana for a pro bono video highlighting their SMART Girls program.

The Art of Survival

25 Jul 2014 | Work

Back in early June, we came into contact with wilderness survival expert Creek Stewart, author of Build the Perfect Bug-Out Bag and host of The Weather Channel’s upcoming reality series “Fat Guys in the Woods.” Creek had a new product he was getting ready to launch, and wanted a video to help introduce it to the world. We, of course, obliged.
