Recently, ReKon Productions teamed up with Stories LLC and Woodland Worldwide to produce their summer collection campaign. The #FindYourAdventure Campaign featured stills by Photographer Basil Vargas and a film ad directed by Amit Gupta (from Hello Robot and the previous Woodland Spot we worked on).  ReKon Producers Lesley Lopez and Brand Birtwistle were able to lend a helping hand to the producing teams of both still and film units. 

The story revolves around two motorcyclist finding adventure while avoiding famous Angelino gridlock. The spot and stills capture some of the great landscapes of Los Angeles from the L.A River to Pershing Square. Check out the spot now on Woodland Worldwide's Youtube channel! 

Nearing the end of Spring, ReKon Productions jumped onto a short film by Chelsea O’Connor. Susie Sunshine is about a utopian turned dystopian society in which the energy of the world is produced by three kinds of women.  ReKon Producer John Schrad was drawn to the project by the promising story concept and visually engaging storyboards, and was excited to see how the script and visual medium would come together.

The crew was just what every crew on a movie set should be: hard-working, professional, and devoted to the project. They all truly believe in the story, and were thus able to build a spectacular world within the micro-budget that the film quoted.With the promise of brilliant special effects to accompany the well-crafted and beautifully designed hand-built sets, ReKon waits on bated breath to see final cut. 

What has 3 wheels, gets 84mpg, fits 2 people, and costs less than 7K?  Believe it or not, this is not an impossible riddle but rather the specs of the newly unveiled vehicle from Elio Motors. 

ReKon's Kristina Kondrath worked with the talented Benji Bakshi (Ion Drive Films) to produce the product launch video for the Elio. The team worked with Paul Elio, the innovative mastermind behind Elio Motors, whose goal to help not only the environment and the economy but also the consumers themselves led him to the development of the affordable commuter vehicle, the Elio.  Check out the sleek design and learn what inspired Paul Elio in this 
video!

Intern Corner 
ReKon Productions prides itself in providing our interns with diverse opportunities in the industry ranging from on set experiences to day to day business operations. Our new Summer Interns have each been able to venture out onto different film sets in their first month with us.  
 
In their first week , Brooke Fricke and Tori Adams joined producer Jon Judelson on The Thing in the Apartment. A short horror film directed by John Ross whose set willingly exposed our production interns to overnights and creature make up. 

Joining forces again with Jon Judelson, Tori was part of the reshoots team for feature film Dating Daisy. Her experience on this set taught her about being resourceful and the many uses of apple boxes.  

Our newest intern, Tetteh Canacoo will be joining his first set for an internal ReKon Productions project with Producer John Schrad this week. Watch the blog for his insight into this project! 
 
Over the last several months, ReKon Productions has enjoyed providing production support to the Swisher Sweets Project "Convenience Store Sessions" produced by Caul Media.
