Contract Signature Pick-up Shot

It may be slow, it may be behind schedule, but progress on No Sleep for Ronni continues. Here's a quick pick-up shot of our fictional character Ronni Dempster signing her life away.

Social Media Breakfast Shoot

Videographer Jeff Modjeska invited Robert to take part in his shoot this morning of the Social Media Breakfast in Madison. The SMB non-profit group has hired us to put together a 10th anniversary video celebrating the growth and success of their organization.

Both of Jeff's Sony cameras were smokin' today (in a good way)!

Malevolent Corporate Logo for "Ronni"

In our film, No Sleep for Ronni, we have two antagonists, Dr. Bly (played by Tim Towne) and Ms. Slovak (Portia Adney). Both work for a dark and sinister company, the fictional Přízrak Technologies Corporation.

The headquarters is based in Prague. Přízrak is a Czech (and Russian) word for ghost, phantom, or apparition.

Early in the movie, a corporate promo is aired which explains the science behind what is about to happen to Ronni. In creating a fictional company, we needed to make it seem real, right down to the logo. Here's what we came up with...

Shrunken Head prop for "Ronni"

Tashai made this "shrunken head" prop to be used in one of the nightmare sequences in our film, No Sleep for Ronni.

Filming the Remodel of the Governor's Mansion

In late 2018, B&B owners Bob Klebba and David Waugh brought Tarazod onboard to document the remodel of their new property purchase--the former Wisconsin Governor's Mansion in Madison. The plan for the 1854 sandstone building was to turn it into a hotel, but this feat would require many months of work and major renovations throughout the house.

The initial video production took place in November of 2018. We then returned in January 2019 for more updates. Finally today on July 10th, eight months after that first shoot, we finished filming the remodel.
