2010 Demo Reel//2009 Wrap Up
08 Dec 2009
We’ve got a new demo reel. [click the image to check it out] Eikon has continued to take on a variety of exciting and worthwhile projects. We’ve built on our advertising experience in the Atlanta market where our television commercials have helped businesses push through hard economic times, joined forces with dozens of artists to create music documentaries and music videos (one of which earned our debut on the MTV networks, and one of which nabbed us the Flagpole Music Award for “Best Music Video”), rolled along side the NF Endurance team as they peddled across the Painted Desert and the Rocky Mountains, continued a campaign of branded web content for The Woodlands student living communities, journeyed to Ecuador bringing to light the international efforts of three organizations working to improve the coffee industry, documented the performances and surrounding travels for thirteen of Montreal shows at ten venues and three music festivals, and captured live performances with over fifteen more bands for our SOUNDIES series. From a toy gun wielding spoof of “24” for director Tripp Crosby, to a real deal S.W.A.T. team exercise with director Andrea Giacomini, we’ve provided our expertise and our well-rounded inventory of equipment to help independent directors bring their projects to life, and we’re just skimming the surface. Some of these projects and developments can’t be done justice by words alone. We’d like to invite you to take a look at some of the last year in photos.
It's Winter in Athens
07 Dec 2009
This year has really flown by. it's not technically winter, but it sure feels like it (and looks like it). We're really in love with the Canon 5D mkII and the 7D and decided to get some more experience with the new camera by gathering some nature footage in Athens.

Children's Tumor Foundation
30 Oct 2009
Children's Tumor Foundation asked us to create a promotional tool for one of their fundraising teams, NF Endurance. Seven months in the making with footage from six different states. We hope it'll make you get off your computer and run a marathon (or at least a 5k).

Ecuador, NYC, Philly
25 Sep 2009
A quick update for the weekend. Eikon recently returned from a seven day shoot in Northern Ecuador for a collaboration between Norwegian group, The World Institute of Slowness and Athens' own 1000 Faces Coffee. From there we headed straight to NYC to document of Montreal's fashion week events before heading to Philly, PA for another shoot with NF Endurance at the Philadelphia ING half marathon.
Needless to say, it's been a busy month for us, but we're really excited about each of these projects and new projects in the works. Check back frequently as we'll be posting videos and photos quite often in the coming weeks.

How to Achieve Musical Greatness
22 Sep 2009
When Venice Is Sinking asked us to do another music video for their upcoming "Okay" EP, we knew we had to do something funny. We pitched them a montage video, but they came back to us with the idea of doing more of an homage to montages in general, and so it was done. Our good friend Jason Martin was the obvious choice to play the role of the coach. The various scenes center around the bands enrollment in a school of rock (of sorts). We hope you get a few chuckles out of this one.
The Woodlands. Round Two.
13 Sep 2009
We started with the Woodlands over a year ago with their Gainesville, Florida location. They came back to us this summer requesting videos for their properties in College Station, Texas and Columbia, South Carolina. You might find yourself wanting to go back to college after watching this one.
Dodging Bullets
04 Sep 2009
Literally. Eikon spent a few days this past week providing lights, camera, and sound for LA director, Andrea Giacomini's documentary on the Chattanooga Tennessee S.W.A.T. Team and Police Force. We got some amazing footage and came out alive, although a few of us were inches away from learning what it feels like to be hit with a plastic bullet (traveling 500ft per second). Look for the video soon.
