Ed Pratt...A Documentary Life
In the visual arts, a picture is worth a thousand words. But in the world of documentary filmmaking, a thousand words are just the beginning of what you’ll need to put that picture into its proper perspective.
Spotlight: MoLLIE
Mobile Media Lab for Information Education (MoLLIE) brings laptops with video editing software, digital video cameras, and talented teachers into K-12 classrooms to help kids work in small teams to create short videos that demonstration their learning in the curriculum subject.
Client Feedback
“We chose CMC to produce our agency video because you focused on the specific needs of a non-profit agency. I found working with your team of writers, editors and producers educational. Together we came up with a plan to produce the video maximizing our message and minimizing the cost. The video presents our agency's work using emotion and humor and always receives rave reviews. ”
Terese Smith, Marketing and Development Director, Comprehensive Therapy Center
