If you ever interview a blogger, expect to have a blog post written about you. Here's the posting from Zachary D. Lyons, whom we interviewed at the Ballard Farmer's Market in Seattle.

This is being written on the plane from Seattle to Denver. PWP’s Debbie Arnold, Andy Wenrich, Dave Lamm, Pat Ganley, and Michael Schweisheimer just wrapped a glorious week one of shooting “Green Careers” for Films Media Group. Green Careers is a project that has been almost a year in the making, beginning with an original pitch to the largest educational distributor to the secondary and post secondary markets. The concept is to create a video to be used to encourage young people considering their career choices to look at careers that can make a difference to the environment.
So far we have visited with the Washington State Department of Health, Taylor Shellfish Farms in SammishBay, People for the Puget Sound, and KCTS which is the Seattle PBS affiliate. All of the jobs we focused on were around the concept of combating water pollution, specifically in the Puget Sound.
Now we are off to Denver to look at work being done there around the theme of Energy Efficiency in the Home.
The Webcast Group has added PWP to their Authorized Partners Page. We've been working with the Webcast Group for well over a year as the distributor of live webcast events for the Foreign Policy Research Institute. We are honored that they find the quality of our work high enough that they approached us to work as one of their production partners for their clients.
We are proud to be a silver sponsor for the second year running of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Greater Philadelphia Chapter's Franklin Forum. We will be exhibiting at the event and unveiling our new company wide branding. This includes a reworking of everything from our newly reworked logo to our new Demo Reel :
Michael, Pat, and Dave are just back from the National Association of Broadcaster's convention (NAB) in Las Vegas, and boy are they tired. We attended the conference to look in the latest in technology for production, post production, and distribution for our clients. Though an exhausting few days involving miles upon miles of walking on the show floor of the Las Vegas convention center, we learned a tremendous amount that we are already implementing. But if we learned nothing else it is that there is no such thing as a perfect pair of walking shoes.
If you tried to call us at the office on January 19th, you probably noticed that no one was in to take your call. But we weren't on holiday. For the second year in a row the staff had the option of being at the office or participating in a day of service. The entire staff and many of their family members participated in mural painting and beautification at the Eleanor Emlen Elementary School a few blocks from our office in Mt. Airy. Besides painting, we also documented the entire event for the participating organizations, including; Mt. Airy USA, EducationWorks, Global Citizen, and the Mt. Airy Leadership Council. All of the photos can be seen at the Flickr page we put up for the event.
A video project we completed in cooperation with JEVS Human Services for The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) of Pennsylvania has been added to their website on the personal stories page. Titled “Inviting the Day,” Janine’s story can be viewed here. Janine and this project touched everyone who worked on it. We are proud to help Janine to share her story with so many others in her efforts to support peers struggling with mental illness.
