Hi! For all readers of this blog, I am more than honored to say that I am RedEye’s intern for the 2013 Spring Semester. When I first received a list of internship sites catering to my interest from TWC, I Googled RedEye Post and other giant news agencies (e.g. CNN and Voice of America) and […]
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 […]
I recently read a piece by Michael R. Shannon, President of MANDATE: Message, Media & Public Relations, in which he advised political candidates to invest in a quality production team when creating their political spots. The article explained what we all understand, though maybe not explicitly: that a low-quality production may get in the way […]
April showers have come and gone. In fact the May flowers are now wilting as the Summer Solstice brings forth a heat wave. School is out, summertime is here and while we love to see the sun shining and the nice weather, things are bustling in the RedEye offices. We have many exciting projects this past spring […]

Residents of those states can be sure to see plenty of ads today telling them why one candidate is better than another or why one candidate is just a downright threat to liberty […]
No one likes winter in the District. You never know if there’s going to be a Snowpocalypse, or gusty winds. But this year, winter was manageable, at times, even cozy. Which suited RedEye just fine. Less time complaining about the weather meant more time focusing on creating the high quality productions that you’ve come to expect from […]
I’m not quite an old soul [read: hipster], but I was raised with an appreciation of what you might call grand old things [read: pretentious things]. I enjoy going to the opera and I will take Humphrey Bogart over Brad Pitt any day. I get defensive when older people assume that my generation gets bored […]
After three weeks of working at RedEye, I can declare firmly and proudly that it is fun and exuberant place to work. Clients drop by to drop something off and end up sticking around for half an hour to chat. The RedEye offices are a magnet of good feeling and creative energy. That said, its […]
Today is the momentous first anniversary of Rebecca Black’s Friday. Speaking of bad singing (har har har) … The first season of How I Met Your Mother, in an episode called The Pineapple Incident, asked a question that I know is one that is on everybody’s minds: Drunk Ted: Why do they call it karaoke […]
