A small contingent of the Dawnrunner Team is preparing to travel half-way around the world to meet with a potential partner studio in Bangkok, Thailand. The team is all very excited and anxiously awaiting the opportunity to meet with foreign filmmakers, to discuss the possibility of collaboration! We're ecstatic that we have the chance to visit Thailand and spend some time getting to know about the Thai film industry. It's a great opportunity for a mutual sharing of information and techniques, which is the basis of advancements in the industry. The Thai production company has taken time out of it's increasingly busy schedule to meet with us, and for that we are extremely grateful. The next couple days will be difficult as we not-so-patiently await our trek. Our best wishes and luck travel with the representatives of Dawnrunner!

San Jose, January 31, 2008

One of our new projects explores science and technology from a new perspective for Dawnrunner Productions - from the eyes of children. This 30 minute instructional video provided the how-to's of teaching fundamental math, science, and technology principles through an interactive, hands-on experience. The finished piece consisted of a compilation of live event coverage, extensive customized motion graphics, studio set filming and greenscreen instruction. The piece is expected to inform instructors and encourage museum attendance at startup Discovery Museums overseas. We look forward to seeing the already promising results.
