Lisa: Cinematographer, director and director of photography in Baltimore, Maryland.

Recently I had two filmmakers who had stopped by for gear and mentioned that I was in their area but they had no idea about my company Absolute Independent Pictures for rentals and other production related gigs. So PLEASE save this information for future references or send it to a friend who may need it. Thanx. AIP has been in business for the past 14 years and we carry most equipment for any indie film, documentary and/or industry production. If you are ever in need of gear to rent please let us know by checking us out at www.absoluteindependentpictures.com or emailing us at mfarrellaip@mac.com for a complete rate sheet. You can also FB friend us at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Absolute-Independent-Pictures/16570398345... and from time to time we will have specials on gear and also post jobs. AIP is located 15 minutes North of Baltimore but also serves the complete PA/DMV areas. I recently wrapped on my 16th feature as DP and worked on tons of other projects. See my demo here - http://www.absoluteindependentpictures.com/about/demo We also can deliver gear to any shoot using our van or 14’ grip truck or have us bring gear or work on your own project. We carry Red Epic, Sony cameras, a DSLR, alighting and grip plus dollies, jibs/crane, Steadicam, audio gear and more. You may also send your resume to my email address so I can keep it on file for possible future projects. So if you EVER are in need of DP, gaffer, AC and/or crew with gear - please give us a consideration. Thank you. Shelly Farrell - Owner/DP/gaffer

There is no doubt, that social media is changing the face of marketing and branding worldwide. With more people interacting online via social networks, now is the time for you to make sure that your social media strategy is up to par. But, social media management does not come easy to everyone. When you are used to using these sites casually, how can you make the professional change and use them to their full potential? Here are a few tips we like to share with our clients when it comes to social media. 1) Remain Consistent. Content is very important when increasing your social media presence. If you don’t post frequently and with valuable content, you may become easy to forget. 2) Remain Interactive. The point of social media to be social. Interact with your friends/fans on Facebook and your followers on Twitter. Ask questions, provide answers, and post links to important information. 3) Remain Professional. This is a major task for our clients who are moving from the casual to professional world of social media. Be careful with what you are allowing others to see on your social media sites. While it is important to remain fun and lighthearted, be sure that you are not posting things that will embarrass you later on. For more tips on how you and your business can increase your social influence via Twitter, take a look at the following article. http://www.marketingprofs.com/articles/2012/6953/four-easy-tactics-for-b...
