This is super exciting for us since EXposed was a brand new direction in workshop films that is not being done much. We’re really proud of it. We worked hard for the cinematic approach in this 4+ hour series, roaming thousands of miles and visiting incredible locations to study light and discuss how we can better use it. We did just that.

EXposed has humble roots – We jumped in head first and worked hard resulting in a film that was better than we ever imagined. It got rave reviews and now this HOT ONE award on top if it all helps to reenforce that our idea was indeed a good one.

If you have not seen EXposed now is the time. It’s guaranteed to make you a better image maker. Pick up a Download or DVD copy. You won’t be disappointed and the value is better than most workshops you’ve seen.

You can even watch a series of free segments from EXposed right here.

For a short time you can get EXposed for just $49.00 – Just enter promo code: EXPOSE in your cart.

It’s no secret we love using video to convey our message here at Seim Effects. From a marketing perspective we’ve learned that nothing sells products like video does. From an education perspective we’ve learned that nothing is more flexible to learn from than video. So we keep doing more of it and encourage others to do the same.

This has been on the menu for some time, but we finally made the Seim Effects promo. It’s a homepage introduction that we believe every company should have. In our case it tells a bit about what we do here at Seim Effects, how we work and why our product and service is unique. It has a little fun along the way too.

Seim Studios actually just started a spinoff compact that will focus entirely on filmmaking for our own projects as well as yours. It’s called Opera Chicken Films. We also just picked up the new Canon C100 Cinema Camera and are really ramping up production for our new projects. It’s going to be an exciting journey. You can learn more about these new projects on the Opera Chicken website.

So plans are moving forward for the third phase of PHOTOGRAPHICS and we’re excited about the possibilities.

This week Nathan and I spent some quality time with the Canon C100 Cinema camera. The quality this dedicated camera offers is stunning. Working with it will represent a significant investment, but quality is very important. We especially want that Blu-Ray to sing, as it can showcase so much quality. We’re giving the details a lot of thought.

PHOTOGRAPHICS is slated to release in November. Now the the Kickstarter project is fully funded, we’re offering regular pre-order’s for those that missed the Kickstarter.

Photographics Trailer Final6.mp4So what have we been up to over here at Seim Studios – We just returned from 3 months on the road and a lot of work on a brand new project. A film called PHOTOGRAPHICS that takes on the artistic aspects of photography and what makes a great photograph. A journey through history and art techniques in a way that has never been done before.

We’ve already filmed a lot, but there’s more to come. We got the film accepted to Kickstarter where pre-orders have been coming in and we more than made our funding goal. We’re really excited about where PHOTOGRAPHICS is going and are eager for it’s November release. The Kickstarter pre-order backings have helped pay the bills and we’ll be working hard over the summer as we plan the the wrap up of this completely unique film. I hope you join in. It’s going to be good.
