Big Announcement from TiaP
|
|
Spring is here, and we've been growing.
Thing in a Pot Productions is happy to announce that we have officially organized under the name Blue Walnut LLC. Blue Walnut LLC filed with the Secretary of State of Indiana on January 29, 2019.
This change provides us a more organized structure to support our new growth. In 2018 alone, we created 114 videos! To see what else we have been up to, you can watch our full year-in-review video here.
Don't worry, this will not affect the way you interact with us or the projects that we are creating. We're still doing business as Thing in a Pot Productions, so our identity, website, social media and correspondence remain the same. We are just as committed to creating quality videos that engage audiences and make a difference.
If you are a current client, we sent you a separate email with details on how this change impacts you. Didn't get it? Let us know.
Here's to a spring full of growth and new Things!

Pro Tip from Our Producer
|
|
Surprises are great for parties, but not for videography. I recently filmed an event (to be clear, I am NOT referring to the amazing fashion show featured in this newsletter) where the organizers did not tell me a major reveal that would happen during the day. They wanted it to be a surprise for the attendees. Completely ignorant, I was not prepared for the big moment, and nearly missed it.
 #ProTip: Always tell your videographer EVERYTHING that will happen at an event.
Yes, live events can be unpredictable, but you can give your videographer an advantage when you tell them the whole schedule, even if there is a surprise (I promise to keep it secret). Videographers constantly make judgements about the best place to be standing, where to point the camera, and even when to start rolling. If you don't tell me when, and where, something will occur, I might not even see it happen until it is too late to catch on film. But, if you tell me everything, I can catch the surprise from the best angle and even permanently capture the shocked/surprised/pleased looks on all the faces as it happens.

Odd facts about plants... just for fun.
|
|
|
|
If you live in a temperate region, chances are your trees and shrubs are all still bare. Perennial plants go dormant throughout the winter, which means they cease to grow. Actually, perennials go through two forms of dormancy, and they need to break both forms before any of us can have spring again.
Starting in the fall, frosty weather and dwindling daylight cause plants to enter endo-dormancy. Chemical signals from the plant block growth at buds, which will not grow even if the conditions somehow change to become favorable. Endo-dormancy must be broken by a prolonged period of cold. Plants track the amount of time they spend in temperatures just above freezing. When the proper amount of time has been reached, the buds become competent for growth again. Different plants require varying amount of time in the cold. If the period of chilling is disrupted, it resets the entire process and the buds remain dormant.
If the plants are sufficiently chilled they enter the second phase of dormancy, eco-dormancy. While the buds are capable of growth, the dark, chilly winter weather keeps them in a slumber. The plants continue to track the hours of daylight, temperature and moisture and when all three are just about right... Spring. Turns out it takes a lot of hard work to wake up a plant. I think that’s something the majority of humans can relate to.
