If you can believe it, this year marks RedEye’s 10th Anniversary! When we opened in 2002, in the middle of a recession, we had only one employee and an intern and we focused solely on editing and post-production – thus the name RedEye Professional Post. Today we are RedEye and have 3 full-time staff in Alexandria and multiple support team members located throughout the world. We have worked with numerous clients on projects that have gone global.
Our projects range from that of a simple DVD dub for a few bucks, to a full-blown script to screen project (to borrow an antiquated term) that might cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. We have been up early in the morning for a break-of-dawn shoot and pulled all-nighters in the edit suite to meet the deadline. (Ahh, that’s where the name RedEye comes from).
We are also big believers in sharing knowledge. RedEye has hosted more than 30 interns over the past 10 years, most through an outstanding program called The Washington Center. Many of these interns have become employees at RedEye. Our company has worked with Gunston Elementary School in Fairfax County to teach both story telling and production skills. We assisted in the production of numerous videos, PreK-6th grade, allowing the children to learn how to present themselves on camera, edit ideas together into cohesive thoughts as well as leave behind training tools for the teachers to use for class material review. RedEye has also served on several panels throughout the region to judge film festivals, or discuss the latest and greatest technology crisis (currently read as FCPX) beating down the boutique house.
Some of you we have known (and by “we” we mean the Laura part of we) for 25 years or more, others are more recent members of the RedEye family. Each of the projects we work on is special and teaches us as much as we hope they inspire and teach others.
We realize there are many choices in today’s marketplace. We hope you hear our THANKS and know we are always honored and humbled when you choose RedEye to partner with your team. It is our goal and hope you continue to feel our 200% effort on every project. We began in a recession and 10 years later we are pleased to say we are weathering the current economic slow down with patience and caution. But most importantly we are happy to be going strong after a decade and we look forward to the next ten years and the technology changes to come!
