Filming during COVID times

It sounded like an impossible task. Will we have to wear face masks? What happens if some people don’t want to use them? How many meters apart are we going to sit from each other? Will the director understand me when I whisper my concerns in his ear with a piece of cloth covering my mouth?

The history of comic books:
A billion-dollar business

Lost in Transcreation: the problems with translating for advertising

Each language has its own peculiarities. In English, one rule of thumb is that ‘I’ goes before ‘E,’ except after ‘C.’ But, what if you heinously seize your weird foreign neighbor’s beige heifer? Aside from stealing your neighbor’s pregnant cow, can you see the problem(s) with that entire sentence?

Scheduling and Hosting a Productive Meeting 101

Picture this. You’re in your office, lackadaisically browsing Amazon for something you don’t need. Then suddenly–you hear a noise. Far different than the clunky whirs of a printer and anxious clicks of a pen; this distinct sound demands you to take action. For you have just received… A NEW EMAIL.

The power of a hello in the morning

In these busy-busy times we live in it is way too common for people to skip pleasantries in favor of going straight to work. Although there is value in being efficient, there is extreme value in taking a minute of your time and saying hello to people. It’s true that some companies are massive and saying hello to everyone is impossible. That’s completely understandable, but the core teams […]
