Long before the infamous grocery store chain known as Whole Foods invaded Fayetteville and Rogers, another establishment quietly but firmly took up residence in the area. Since 2014, Akin's Natural Foods has been serving our community with carefully curated grocery items, fresh, organic produce and the largest selection of vitamins and supplements in the area. But Akin's history is much older than 2014…

Enjoy the show!

This week on the blog, we're featuring a short video project we recently created for Crafton Tull and their presence at the annual Rogers Lowell Chamber of Commerce Meeting. This video is part of a couple of larger, ongoing projects that we are currently working on for the firm. A fun fact for this project was that we were able to use one of their own employees (and a quiet storage closet) to record the voiceover portion of the project. Enjoy!

Last weekend was a crowning achievement for the University of Arkansas’s School of Art. What started out as an idea, turned into a rather large grant (the largest in the history of universities, save athletic programs). And along with that huge grant, came plenty of meetings, lots of plans, the reworking of those plans, even more meetings and the collective support of the faculty and students. And now, a major milestone has been achieved: The Grand Opening of the Windgate Studio + Design Center.

Christmas is coming. But for the students at the University of Arkansas School of Art, Christmas will come BIGTIME in January 2023, when the Windgate Art + Design Studio officially opens its doors. For years, the University’s Art Program has been expanding and as a result, the University has found all sorts of nooks and crannies in which to house and educate their students.

The Windgate Art + Design Studio is anything but a nook or cranny. This brand new building is a full-on multi-use center for a majority of the art students to call home. We were tasked with creating a short video to highlight the brand new building.

Recently, we had the opportunity to create a short video teaching the fundamentals of how to ride a bike on a pump track. This project coincided with some product photography showcasing two new pump track bikes from Mongoose. This project allowed us the opportunity to not only practice our video skills, but to get some visual tips and tricks on how to actually ride a pump track. And that’s exactly why we love what we do.

Enjoy the video.
