GIVING A 50'S LOOK TO SHAKESPEARE WITH RUOXUAN LI
September 21, 2017 Lorraine Wilder Leave a comment
When it comes to revered creative works, there are those who believe that a classic is not to be touched and those who believe that the spirit of creating art is in pushing those boundaries and buttons, to attempt to develop a new piece of art that both pays homage to the original and seeks to place it in a contemporary setting that it might be more accessible to the general public and thereby spur them to revisit said classics. Costume designer Ruoxuan Li has worked with those on both sides of this idea. She feels that her role is not to be the one who is polarized on the topic but to grow through embracing both perspectives. This what me be referred to as a "creatively open mind." It's something that would seem to be inherent in the artistic mindset but is not always so. Luckily for those she works with, Li has the pedigree and the experience to enable both factions. When ISC (Independent Shakespeare Company)was presenting a modernized production of Shakespeare's "The Two Men of Verona", Ruoxuan was an obvious choice as costume designer. Li cut her teeth in Shakespearean theater at the at Wimbledon College of Art, University of The Arts London. Since then she has worked on countless productions including Distant Vision with Francis Ford Coppola. Intensely familiar with both traditional and contemporary approaches to the look of stage, TV, and film, Ruoxuan worked with director David Melville to place the characters in a modern world for crowds of 20,000 in Los Angeles.
Melissa Chalsma is the artistic director of the ICS production of "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" who sought out Ruoxuan and enlisted her into the production team. Melissa describes, "I was first attracted to Ruoxuan's work because of her outstanding portfolio and the breadth of her experience. She is an inter-continental artist who excels in a wide range of styles, has done excellent work in a variety of mediums, and has wonderful inter-personal skills. Without Ruoxuan "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" would not have looked as good as it did, nor would the actors have even as able to do their jobs. She created an entirely unique world with vastly different styles authentically placing the action in the 1950's. Each costume piece supported the actors in their work. Speaking personally, the costumes Ruoxuan created were absolutely perfect!"
Early meeting with the play's director set the tone that the play should be apolitical and be a place of respite for the public to escape the volatile events around them. Melville communicated to Ruoxuan that he was interested in a Rockabilly style that was full of bright and engaging colors. The two primary challenges in this is that Shakespeare is not known for its use of bright colors and, as a native of China, Li does not share the same frame of Americana reference that many might in regards to the 1950's Rockabilly style and era. Research would begin for her at ground zero rather than twenty or seventy-five percent. To fit the classic Shakespearean sensibility into a new concept of 1950's, she started by matching the social group status for characters such as the greasers for the outlaws, teddy boys/girls for the naughty ones etc. Li then tracked each character's change of status and change of their mental/emotional evolution, trying to express the changes cohesively through costuming. She was given some allowance to be not period-dead-on but tried to catch key elements of the 1950's rockabilly look such as white socks, rolled up hems, pointy shirt collars, circle skirts, etc. These helped to sell the period when it's not a full-on authentic period show.
It's the very nature of a mingling of the arts that they affect each other. This also applies to the costume design; add maneuverability to that as well. The Rockabilly application to this classic Shakespeare play was like an actor itself, taking on the visage of a "greaser" from the era. This meant that the music and style of the 1950's was inseparable from the look Li created. Watching the rehearsal is a key part of her process in finalizing the costuming. Ruoxuan relates, "When I saw the rehearsal with the band and all of the dancing, I realized that the research I did was not fully matching the energy on the dance floor. There were actors rapping the Shakespeare lines, the duke being the drummer at the same time, one of the two gentlemen acted like a nerdy teenage facing his lover…all these sparkling moments gave me inspiration. I switched my color palette to a much more vibrant and youthful combination of bright pastels and saturated jewel tones. I shortened all the skirt for dancing, added ruffled collars for crab the dog, and asked the attendant rapper turning his bell boy hat front to the back. These might seem minor but they bring everything into focus."
Broadway World stated, "Ruoxuan Li's black leather jackets for the outlaws, and circle skirts and preppy plaids for the leading players all lend authenticity to the period and its unbridled optimism." This statement communicates the concept that the costuming itself is part of delivering the emotion to an audience, an emotion that must be congruent to that of the intent of the director. With this understanding, Ruoxuan takes great care to plan and maintain an aesthetic consistent with her director's goal. This process begins with a conversation that continues up until the actual showtime. A strong sense of design partnered with an ease of flexibility is what has resulted in so many directors seeking out Ruoxuan to create the look for their productions whether it be stage, TV, or film.

Rosie Kinane-Adams
There was never any other choice for Rosie Kinane-Adams; she always wanted to be a producer. It was more than just about wanting to behind the camera, she has an extraordinary ability to hear someone's story and find the aspect that makes it different. There are so many stories that have been told over and over again in the same way, whether it be in reality television or film, but Kinane-Adams instinctively knows how to find that angle that makes audiences remember what they just watched. She knows that everyone has a uniqueness to them that is interesting, and finding that uniqueness and telling that story is what makes Kinane-Adams such a renowned producer, and why she loves what she does. Each job is a puzzle to her, and each piece is put together but how to properly tell the story.
Kinane-Adams has worked all around the world doing what she loves. She is internationally renowned, working at the forefront of the film and television industry. She has a resume filled with achievements, and has greatly contributed to the success of shows such as The Biggest Loser, The Bachelor, Married at First Sight, Masterchef, and First Dates. By working on these formats across the world, Kinane-Adams is able to bring the best of each country's production techniques, and combine them to be at the height of it all globally. However, it was working on the award-winning show America's Got Talent that was the highlight of Kinane-Adams' esteemed career.
"Working with Simon Cowell has been beyond a doubt the highlight of my career. He is an incredibly talented executive producer and on-screen talent, and growing up in England, watching the X-Factor, it was beyond my dreams that I would ever be working with him on America's Got Talent, one of the biggest shows in the world. He was an idol of mine throughout my career, so to be working with him was inspirational," said Kinane-Adams.
After seeing success on the hit game show The Price is Right, Kinane-Adams was approached to work on America's Got Talent by Fremantle Media. The show was on its eighth season, with vast success and an outstanding reputation. They knew they needed someone with an eye for story in order to eventually lead a story team that would create and pursue interesting and unique stories and bring the level of storytelling to a new high.
"My focus throughout my career in television, and at America's Got Talent, has been story telling. Everyone has a story to tell and everyone has something interesting about them that the rest of the world wants to know. Especially on America's Got Talent, these people have had the most interesting lives. The hardest part of my job is choosing one part of these people's lives to focus on, because they are all truly some of the most interesting and creative people in the world," she described.
From seasons eight to ten, Kinane-Adams' role on the show as a producer was to create the most innovative packages for each act possible. It was essential that the quality of work Kinane-Adams was creating was some of the best in the industry- from story right through to camera techniques. On a show as successful as America's Got Talent, the pressure is high to be the best, and Kinane-Adams storytelling talents was evident with each episode she worked on.
"It was important being on a show as successful as America's Got Talent, that we were seen to be showing America, not only the best and most unique talent, but also the height of sophistication in terms of how we were filming things, whether this be the camera techniques, or the creative ideas for opens to the show," she said. "America's Got Talent is the most successful talent show in the world. It is the epitome of the American Dream, and really shows the world what people are capable of. It has been by far the highlight of my career to work on a show reaching tens of millions of people internationally. The 'Got Talent' format is available in 69 countries and has reached over 500 million people worldwide, and that's a really amazing thing to be a part of."
In addition to her story producing responsibilities, Kinane-Adams worked on post-production with an editor, bringing the interviews, b-roll and performance together to create segments of the show. She also worked in the casting department where she would scout for the best talent in the country, whether that be online, at events, or at open call casting days. This commitment to the show and each contestant's story impressed everyone she worked with.
"I first met Rosie working on America's Got Talent in 2012 when she joined the story team as a producer. I was immediately impressed with how she stepped into an established show with such poise and professionalism, instantly becoming an essential member of our team. She came in not only with fresh, creative ideas, but the ability to execute them efficiently, keeping a positive, problem-solving attitude throughout even our longest shoot days," said Lindsay Tuggle, Senior Producer. "Rosie has been one of my favorite producers to work with in my 10+ years in the reality realm. She's reliable and hardworking, endlessly creative, and a pleasure to be around. It doesn't matter if she's setting up logistics for a complicated shoot, coming up with a creative way to visually tell a story, directing cameras in the field or putting it all together in post-production, you know Rosie is going to tackle whatever she takes on with a refreshingly positive attitude, which can sometimes be scarce in this industry."
"Rosie is an especially good producer because she has the ability to see projects through from conception to delivery. While many producers are only experienced in one aspect of production, Rosie has experience in every single step of the process, which makes her an invaluable asset to any team she's on. She understands each small piece of the puzzle, but because of her keen eye for storytelling, she never loses sight of the bigger picture," Tuggle added.
Although the show has been the most popular show of the summer for its thirteen seasons, during Kinane-Adams time, it was also nominated for a TV Choice Award and a Critics Choice Award. She worked with hundreds of contestants each day, and instilled a complicated system in order to ensure that they shot all the content they needed to shoot, and that it was of the highest quality and had that each contestant had content that had a unique stamp on it. This highly complex system is still in place today and ensures that post production has everything they need to create the successful show that they do. She has greatly contributed to the show's recent success, and she loved every minute of her time there.
"Another wonderful aspect of the job is working with such incredible judging talent. Mel B, Howie Mandel, Howard Stern and Heidi Klum are all incredibly talented people within their field, and take their job on the show very seriously. Their passion for helping people's dreams come true is evident, and to interview them on the acts and film with them backstage during stage breaks has been a highlight of my career," Kinane-Adams concluded.

Art Director-Motion Graphics Designer Ilya Tselyutin Thriving in Hollywood
Art Director-Motion Graphics Designer Ilya Tselyutin works in one of the most fascinating, fast moving and over looked fields in modern media. Motion Graphics is a constantly evolving, creatively fertile niche that entails creating everything from eye-popping feature film title sequences to innovative television commercial applications. It's a complex mix of graphic design, animation and cutting edge technology that requires innate resourcefulness, meticulous attention to detail and the ability to bring life to a very broad spectrum of images—qualities which the Russian-born Tselyutin has no shortage of.
"While studying computer science at university, I developed interest in 3D graphics," Tselyutin said. "I was always curious how this technology worked. At the same time I started looking at works by some famous graphic designers and learned about typography. I wanted to bring all of this together – 3D graphics, animation and design. Also, I drew my inspiration from title sequences from Hollywood movies, as well as the special effects in sci-fi movies."
A painstaking, gifted craftsman whose outstanding work has been recognized with international awards—Silver winner for Art Direction at Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards, and a Silver Win for Graphic Design/Animation at PromaxBDA, both in 2013—Tselyutin has distinguished himself with an impressive roster of career achievements. All this has led him to the field's epicenter, Hollywood, where he enjoys a position at the prestigious Troika Design Group, a top branding and marketing agency that specializes in working with entertainment and media companies
"Troika is one of the most notable companies in the industry," Tselyutin said. "I had learned about it a while ago and they were looking for a lead motion graphics designer to bring the quality of 3D graphics to the next level. Paul Brodie, the Managing Director, was closely following my work and invited me to join the company in 2016, where I am currently working as Art Director/Motion Graphics Designer.
At Troika's Design Department, Tselyutin has successfully undertaken jobs for a disparate series of high profile clients. "We have a very busy schedule with plenty of projects coming my way every day," Tselyutin said "The most interesting projects so far have been for AT&T Sports Network and ESPN College Basketball. The video for AT&T included working with the client's static footage. As a lead designer on this project I suggested using a special technology in Cinema 4D software to cut the static footage into several pieces an then project them onto 3D models, and the result made both the team and the client happy."
Tselyutin's gift for surpassing expectations is a result of his widely varied cultural background and educational experience. With a Bachelors of Arts in Information Technologies and New Media from the Kuban State University, Krasnodar, Russia and a resume of jobs all over Europe, Tselyutin brings a refreshing international perspective to any project assigned him.
"While I was studying computer science, I started working at the local TV channel as a designer discovering the world of 3D graphics," Tselyutin said. "I developed interest in design, typography and animation and after graduation, I moved to Moscow to work at the national largest TV network Channel One Russia, where I had the privilege to learn from the best and most experienced broadcast designers in the country."
"My work brought me around the world," Tselyutin said. "For example, I produced a 3D mapping show in at the Technology University of Mangalore, India. In 2013 I moved to work at VUCX creative agency in Cologne, Germany. Working and living in Europe with its variety of art museums, exhibitions and strong school of design was a great experience that helped me expand my portfolio and explore motion graphics even further."
For the driven, ambitious Tselyutin, whose formidable resume is already packed with enough accomplishments to stand as the full measure of a professional career, it is only the beginning. "I am eager to continue my personal development as an artist, 3D professional and art director while growing professionally within the company," he said. "I see myself working on large-scale commercially successful projects."
"My motto is: be curious, be professional, never give up."

Production Coordinator Victoria Marino Makes Shooting in Brazil Easy for Foreign Productions
Production Coordinator Victoria Marino
Whether it be from Hollywood or any other country for that matter, when a production decides to shoot in a foreign country it's imperative to have a strong production coordinator on the ground who's familiar with the country they're on location in to make things flow as seamlessly as possible. That's where Brazilian production coordinator Victoria Marino comes in.
For several years now she's been the production coordinator for high profile foreign productions who've gone on location throughout Brazil, including the Discovery Channel's new series "The Wheel" and the network's upcoming series "72 Dangerous Animals: Latin America" produced by the Australian production company Showrunner Productions Inc., the popular "UFC Embedded: Vlog Series" and "Road to the Octagon 24," season two of the MTV series "Catfish: The TV Show Brazil" and more.
Over the years Victoria has accrued extensive experience in the film and television industry taking on practically every behind the scenes role imaginable, including working as a producer on the film "Goodnight Willy," which screened at the Cannes Film Festival's Court Metrage, and many others as an assistant director, production manager and assistant editor. The wide scope of her work and inside knowledge of how each department functions best, combined with her expansive contact list, are a few of the reasons that she's become such a sought after production coordinator.
Last year Victoria was tapped to come on board as the lead production coordinator at Figura Media aka Brazilian Production Services, whose clients include industry giants such as Netflix, Disney, Marvel, Google, Fox, UFC, MTV and Discovery Channel.
About what drew her to join Figura Media, Victoria explains, "Being a Brazilian living in the United States, I was happy to find a production services company that specializes in providing production infrastructure to foreign clients filming projects in Brazil. This was the perfect position for me, because it gave me the chance to use my cultural Brazilian background combined with my production experience and knowledge of American client-handling."
Her key role at the company has placed her in the lead as the coordinator on a long list of film and television shoots, as well as branded content, such as a recent project for the Wallpaper* Magazine and Pullman Hotels Global Nomad series, a series of films aimed at helping the sophisticated world explorer navigate the planet's hottest cities.
As the production coordinator for the second edition of the series, which focused on São Paulo, Brazil, Victoria led the film crew around the city and ensured that the production ran smooth and nailed the client's desires.
"For this project, our client had high ambitions in terms of the artistic look of the project, but a limited budget to accomplish it, so one of the main aspects of the production was to find creative solutions to make a beautiful film within the budget that we had," explains Victoria.
"We were shooting at several different locations in São Paulo, so I personally negotiated location fees for each of them. I also had to find a crew that was ideal for the project, and coordinate all the other aspects of the production. At the end of the day, our client was really satisfied with the final project, and I was really proud of pulling off that production within the constraints that we had."
Another project where Victoria's skill and Brazilian familiarity proved her to be an invaluable asset as the production coordinator was on the docuseries "72 Dangerous Animals Latin America" produced by Showrunner Productions. The second edition in the "72 Dangerous Animals" series, the first of which aired on Netflix, the Latin American edition brings viewers up close and personal with the continent's most deadly creatures.
Considering that many of those animals live in Brazil's Amazon rain forest, having someone who not only knows the local film crews and culture, but also the often treacherous terrain was imperative to a successful shoot.
Carolyn Bertram, Senior Producer at Showrunner Productions, says, "In the production of a 12 episodes of a 1 hour international broadcast series, Victoria helped me navigate a minefield of challenging situations, and extreme locations… the guidance, help and expertise she added to our production, has enabled us achieve a much higher standard of content than we had dared hope for."
Leading the way as a top production coordinator in Brazil, it will come as no surprise that more and more productions specifically request her to join their team on location in South America. Next up, Victoria Marino will be production coordinating the upcoming MMA documentary "Fightworld" for Netflix starring Frank Grillo, as well as an episode of NBC's "The Voyager with Josh Garcia" in Rio de Janeiro.

Film Producer Kseniya Yorsh's Creative, Kinetic Approach to Movie Making
April 27, 2017 Lorraine Wilder Leave a comment
Film producer Kseniya Yorsh's approach to cinematic excellence is a high-powered mixture of meticulous attention to detail and an impressive grasp of comprehensive overall scope of any project. Although a relatively recent arrival to Hollywood, Yorsh's brief yet fruitful career trajectory encompasses a broad spectrum, including music videos, feature films, documentary and shorts—four of which were screened at the Cannes Short Film Corner. Most recently, Yorsh produced Visitors, an engrossing Science Fiction short drama that's been getting a lot of attention and is set to be showcased in half a dozen prestigious film festivals across the country in 2017.
The Belarus-born Yorsh always gravitated towards the creative, a pursuit which inevitably led her to film. "As a kid and teenager I received all sorts of artistic training," Yorsh said. "Classical piano, theater classes, film school, literary practice, and I learned 3 foreign languages. As a young adult I worked extensively in business, and all these disciplines have helped build my film producing career. Once I decided to devote myself fully to filmmaking, I came to the US, got a degree in Documentary Filmmaking at New York Film Academy and in Entertainment Business and Management at UCLA."
Ambitious and focused, Yorsh perfected her craft with experience in almost every aspect of filmmaking. She has written, directed, acted, edited, and worked as an art director, make-up artist, production designer, even in the sound department. It's an impressive background that's created her near encyclopedic grasp of what a film producer must both anticipate and turn to the project's advantage—locations, crew, casting, supervising daily operations on set—and her roster of achievements currently stands at 13 shorts and 3 feature films.
The intense, idiosyncratic Visitors, which combines themes of family dysfunction and chilling otherworldly suspense, offered Yorsh some unique opportunities for trouble shooting.
"Alon Juwal, the director, came to me with the script and the budget he had for the film and I transferred his ideas into a feasible reality," Yorsh said. "We had some shots that were difficult from a technical standpoint. For example, we had a shot where we see the main character in a beam of light as if from a landing spaceship. We were filming at night so it had to be bright light coming from the sky, with a lot of wind, and us moving in closer and closer to his face. We had aerial shots; we had night shoots in a forest; we had a dog that we needed to film at night; we had guns, special effects."
"When producing a short film, budget and logistical limitations make you become creative in solving technical challenges and making sure the shoot like this is done in comfortable and safe conditions for the actors and the crew. Figuring these things out was an exciting challenge for me as a producer."
Characteristically, Yorsh met every concern head on and turned in a flawless finished product. Her vision and drive not only set Yorsh apart but also unfailingly impress her colleagues. "I first met Kseniya a few years ago and was immediately impressed by her clear vision, discipline, imagination and passion," Sergei Stern, the film's musical composer, said. "When I was recommended as a composer for Visitors, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Kseniya was the producer. She and Alon built a great team around this wonderful project and I think we did a solid, beautiful film that combines visual beauty with an emotional, dramatic story."
Released in late 2016, the film—like just about every project Yorsh takes on—has been well received by audiences and recognized with awards at the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival and New York City International Film Festival. And since then, she has already produced an feature film and 2 shorts and has another currently in pre-production.
"I love producing because it's about seizing an opportunity where one doesn't exist before," Yorsh said. "It's about bringing people together and being able to recognize unique skills in a person and link it to someone else's skills or written material. I love seeing people shine professionally and I love bringing good material to life."

Esi Conway brings her line producing talent to Britain's Next Top Model
Line producer Esi Conway
Esi Conway's natural instincts are what make her such a gifted line producer and production manager. Her innate talent for pulling people together combined with her outstanding organizational skills have earned her a spot as one of the best. She has worked for many of the world's best television stations and some of the most recognizable shows, and throughout it all, she is doing what she loves.
One of the highlights of Conway's career was working as a Production Manager for Britain's Next Top Model. The mega successful television show, based off America's Next Top Model, gave the line producer the chance to be both a fan and a large contributor to the show's success. Having already been familiar with the Top Model brand because of the American format, she jumped at the opportunity to work for the British version.
"It was a great opportunity to get a diverse range of experience working with leading figures in fashion, acting, and the arts. The fast-paced nature of reality television meant that I would be kept on my toes, with story lines moving and impacting the brief of the show on a day-to-day basis," she said.
Conway worked on the series for its first nine series, and is largely responsible for making the show what it is today. After the first season, she was given the chance to work primarily on the show's foreign shoots, allowing her to travel ahead of the production team, and immersing herself in the country of her choice while negotiating deals with local talent.
"No two days were ever the same, from setting up a make shift production office in the middle of the Moroccan desert to working with Jimmy Choo to come up with challenges for the contestants in Malaysia," she said.
It was an executive producer of the show that Conway had previously worked with that recommended her for the position on the show. He knew from first-hand experience that she was a skillful line producer, with experience in negotiating deals with brands and thriving in a fast-paced environment, and would be a great fit on the show. From there, all those that worked with her on Britain's Next Top Model were instantly impressed. Robert Pearson, currently a senior producer for the hit show Real Housewives of New York, worked with Conway in Argentina on the show. Together, they went ahead of the team to work out challenges for the contributor, and meet with contractors. He describes working with the line producer as a pleasure.
"Esi is a level-headed problem solver and an excellent people manager. She is a dedicated team member who is able to motivate others. Her can-do attitude is an asset as well as her commitment to any project," said Pearson.
Conway agrees that working with Pearson was a great experience, and the relationships she gained from working on the show was part of what made it invaluable. She also thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities the show gave her to work with local designers and creative talents, and gave them the chance to showcase their capabilities on a show watched by millions.
"I love the varied nature of the show, knowing that each day would come with a new set of challenges and problems to solve. I loved working with people in different countries across the globe to pull together to make a great show. I also enjoyed seeing the ideas and concepts come together seeing the contributors getting excited by the challenges the team had thought up or about receiving one the prizes that I had negotiated," she concluded.
From her work with BBC, MTV, Animal Planet, Investigation Discovery, and many more, there is no doubt to both audiences and colleagues as to why Esi Conway is internationally recognized as an extraordinary Line producer/ Production Manager. Those first nine seasons of Britain's Next Top Model were just the beginning, and now, years later, the world is not only appreciative, but also thankful for her talent.

EVGENY TELEGIN: EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS IN THE COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY
The difference between good and great is most easily revealed when the pressure is on. One's true abilities rise to the surface when instinct and "thinking on your feet" is all that is afforded. If you want to be considered the best of the best you need to possess these skills as well as surround yourself with professionals whom also embody them. Dmitry Venikov is CEO of Trehmer CGI and the in-house director of this elite Russian production house that specializes in design and three-dimensional work. When Unistream (money transfer company) needed to create nine commercials in a very immediate time frame, Venikov was relaxed knowing that expert producer Evgeny Telegin was at the helm. Telegin's work with many international brands such as Nike, IKEA, McDonalds, Coca-Cola, and countless others gave him a proven record to handle any situation with all global and domestic clients. His respect and countless international connections in the industry reinforced his ability to insure his productions were received with high praise. Telegin's reputation as welcoming obstacles was an attractive attribute as well. The Unistream project would test this as it required nine commercial spots to be filmed in one day! When the person in charge is relaxed and confident, this demeanor trickles down to the entire production team. As proof, Evgeny and his team delivered their work ahead of schedule and with the high level of production imagined by Unistream. With apparent pride in his voice, Venikov professes, ", It was a saving grace to have such a legendary producer as Evgeny at the helm of the production. The Unistream commercials were a triumphant success due in large part to Evgeny's ability to handle multiple things at once while still performing each task at the highest level of skill possible. Given the strict deadline at hand, Evgeny was a lifesaver by hiring an outstanding crew and cast, which included the celebrity host of Russia's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, along with coordinating set construction and the preparation of the shoot. The commercials called for finding representatives of different nations, who could speak their language fluently while acting on stage. This task was not easy to approach in such a short amount of time; however, Evgeny found everyone at a rapid pace, and they all turned out to be the perfect fit for the client's needs. As a result of Evgeny's producing, the commercials aired all across Russia and CIS countries, driving Unistream's sales up 300 percent."
When dealing with advertising, casting is always important. For a production discussing finances, trust is paramount. Telegin needed a star for the Unistream commercials who embodied both of these traits. Everyone in Russia knows Dmitry Dibrov; not only for his work as the host of "Who wants to be a millionaire" but also as a journalist, actor, director and musician. Highly detailed planning and preparation made the filming occur smoothly, while Evgeny credits Dibrov's high level of professionalism (delivering everything in almost the first take each time). This highly respected and recognizable celebrity, coupled with a delivery of the message in each geographic area's authentic language, allowed consumers to feel comfortable in a number of ways.
The communication between Dibrov and the other actors in these commercial spots reveals a truly Russian (and areas surrounding Russia) scenario. It's quite different from what many American advertisers or even American citizens experience. It also further reinforces the challenges which Telegin and his team faced in preparation for the production. Evgeny notes, "Unistream is very popular for money transfer within the country but mainly targets post-Soviet countries like Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Armenia, etc. It's not a secret that many neighbors of Russia come to Moscow seeking jobs. They send money that they earn back home to their families. That was the target audience for this campaign. Our goals for the commercials were to be easy to understand and informative in terms of benefits. We came up with the idea of Dmitry Dibrov doing his own small investigation about why is it that every second Armenian or every third Kazak sends money back home through Unistream. He is asking at the Unistream "random" customers why they choose Unistream. They all say in their native language what they like about it: fast service, broad network, and low rates. In the end of every story Dibrov repeats "low rates" the way the customers just said it in their language. It also adds some familiarity and comfort with Dibrov saying words in the customer's native language." To help create the "everyman" feel of these commercials, many first time actors were cast to interact with Dmitry. Instead of an overly polished and slick feel to the performances, viewers felt that those seen in the commercials were just as believable as themselves, which transferred the message that this was an appropriate service for them to us in their own lives.
Talent, experience, and connections are a requirement of every producer, but Evgeny points out one attribute that is often overlooked…awareness. He confesses, "I think a good producer has knowledge of what is popular, what is trendy at the moment. For example, there was a time in Russia when viral videos were very popular. If you know these kind of tendencies, you can come up with interesting and fresh ideas for great productions. No doubt that all the world looks closely at productions done in the US. I would say it's the main course of style and techniques. You might want to monitor this direction if you want to succeed. Another direction would be international festivals. You see who wins or is nominated so you can find some young and unknown talents to offer to your clients. These young talents are fired up to work and extend their experience in other countries while the clients/agencies are happy because you bring something new and fresh to the productions. It's a win-win. You must be sure that this young director will be able to produce the results you expect. You have to use your '6th producers sense' based on your experience. Being an effective communicator allows you to tell if it will work out or not." Telgin requires the same traits that Dmitry Venikov attributed to him. His achievements give increased validity to the professionals he works with, bringing those with a similar desire for exceptional work cultivates greatness at all levels.

Brazilian Event Producer Makes a Name for Himself in the U.S.
July 11, 2015 Christina Williams Leave a comment
Today producer Sylvio Fagundes is known as the mastermind behind a long list of events. He's not shy about his ambitions, admitting, "You have to take chances and risks in life if you want to make it to a place where you really want to be."
A motto to live by that has clearly served him well, the Brazilian native has strategically used each and every one of the various roles that he's taken on over the years in the event and media industries to build a dynamic foundation for his career as an event producer.
Fagundes began his journey as a journalist and photographer, covering events for the popular radio station Jovem Pan FM. Jovem Pan was something of a launch pad for him as it was there that he discovered his passion for music, but the call of event life was too great to ignore so when he was asked to go on tour with singer-songwriter Alex Band, best known for his work as lead singer of The Calling, Fagundes jumped on board.
The nine-city tour across Brazil was an unforgettable experience, and only further solidified Fagundes's fascination with producing large-scale musical events.
"It motivated me to pursue a career as an event producer in the music industry", he recalls.
After the tour, Fagundes was hired by Yahoo! as a staff photographer where he had the opportunity to photograph an extensive list of high profile concerts including Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Gloria Gaynor, Diana Krall, Chris Brown, The Prodigy and Moby.
As his reputation as a sought after photographer in the industry grew, Fagundes continually found himself in the right place at the right time, allowing him to develop connections with prominent figures in the live event and public relations industries. Thanks to these connections, as well as his background in communications, media and journalism helped him build a strong foundation as an event producer, and in relatively no time at all Fagundes was working on monumental events like the 2011 Miss Universe beauty pageant, which was held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and commemorated the event's 60th anniversary.
Since then Sylvio Fagundes has also amassed an astonishing collection of producing credits for music festivals including Brazil's first Lollapalooza edition, the 2012 Sao Paulo Live Music Rocks Festival featuring Maroon 5 and Keane, and the 2012 Pop Music Festival featuring Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Lopez. He even had the opportunity to work on the production of rock and roll legend Sir Paul McCartney's 2010 Up and Coming World tour.
After producing some of the largest and most notable events in Brazil, Fagundes moved to the U.S. to further his education in the music business at UCLA; but naturally, his proven track record of success caught the attention of those in the event industry in LA, which led him to assist in securing the talent the 2013 Los Angeles American Trend Vision Awards on behalf of leading cosmetics company Wella. The event, which featured music icon Blondie, was a rather synchronic development for the young event producer who by that time had barely been in the U.S. for a year.
A diehard concert lover even when he's not at work, the first show he attended stateside as an audience member was Blondie.
"It felt like a full circle. I would have never imagined that the first concert I would help assist in the USA would also feature this artist," admitted Fagundes.
In addition to music-based events, Fagundes's skillset as an event producer has come to include producing film festivals and award shows like the 2013 Hollywood Brazilian Film Fest in Los Angeles and the Sao Paulo International Film Festival. But his list of production credits does not end there; in fact, it doesn't seem like they end at all.
In addition to concerts, massive music festivals, film festivals and award shows Sylvio Fagundes has also produced street fairs, motorcycle rides and parades.
Fagundes currently works for Nuell Entertainment, where some of his recent production accomplishments include securing music from The Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, and The Wallflowers for GEICO national television campaigns as well as a nationwide celebrity image licensing campaign with Sebastian Professional and pop superstar Kesha to serve as the face of the "Rock Your Shaper" advertising campaign.
With his expertise in photography, journalism and public relations all blending together to give him an edge that sets him apart from other event producers, Fagundes's diverse resume demonstrates that when a person is passionate about their work there is literally nothing they can't accomplish.

The Producer Behind "Shaya" Prepares for the Release of Two Upcoming Features
February 28, 2015 Lorraine Wilder Leave a comment

Using his background in finance along with his creative talents as a filmmaker himself, producer Mike Gut knows how to make a winner. As a producer with Oracle Film Group, Gut recently produced the upcoming films Timber the Treasure Dog and Cowboys vs Dinosaurs, which are set for release this year.
Timber the Treasure Dog, which is being distributed by Archstone Distribution, the company responsible for distributing mega-hits such as Machete, The Rum Diary and For the Love of Money, follows a young boy and his talking pup as they embark on a hunt for grandpa's hidden treasure in an effort to save the family home from foreclosure.
Out of all of the films Gut has produced Timber the Treasure Dog was a game-changer in this talented producer's career. He says, "Timber the Treasure Dog was my favorite so far. The reason being is that it was the hardest film I've made to date, which ultimately made it that much more rewarding to pull off."
When it came to the challenges, Gut says that they shot the film under strict time constraints with all of the actual filming taking place in a time span of less than three weeks, additionally the film's cast included three dogs and two kids as lead actors, performers who are known throughout the industry for having unpredictable behavior on set.
"The old Hollywood adage that states– "never work with kids or dogs," was on my mind the entire time, however I think we got lucky and had an amazing cast all around," explains Gut.
Gut also played a huge role in another of this year's highly anticipated flics, Cowboys vs Dinosaurs. Shot in Montana, the perfect location for a story set in the wild west, the film stars Eric Roberts, Vernon Wells, Sarah Malakul Lane and Rib Hillis. A high-energy action packed sci-fi film, Cowboys vs Dinosaurs revolves around a group of prehistoric dinosaurs that come to life after a catastrophic mining accident and the band of cowboys and girls who will stop at nothing in order to send them back to where they came from.
As the Executive Producer and Producer of Cowboys vs Dinosaurs and Timber the Treasure Dog, Mike Gut has devoted the last year and a half to helping perfect these films to a place worthy of Hollywood critics and international audiences. But this isn't Gut's first rodeo; if anyone knows how to make an award-winning film it's him.
Shaya, one of the first films he produced, along with Eric Bergemann, was an instant success on the international film festival circuit.
Directed by Amir Noorani, Shaya is loosely based on the perplexing experience of an Afghani refugee family Noorani helped move to the United States several years ago. While the story in the film includes a cast of characters with different circumstances and ethnicities compared to those in the event Noorani previously witnessed, Shaya raises similar questions concerning morality and the migratory experience many face when moving to a new land.
The film follows a tribal Pakistani refugee family who move to Los Angeles in hopes of escaping the trauma of war-torn Pakistan; however, they instead discover that moving to a new country brings an entirely new set of challenges, making them long for their former home.
Gut says, "We wanted to bring light to an authentic true story that was gripping to all of us who were involved in making the film, as well as deliver a transformational experience to the audience."
A testament to Mike Gut's skill as a producer, and the entire team behind Shaya, the film was chosen as an Official Selection at the Figari Film Festival in Italy, the LA International Short Film Festival, the Hawaii International Film Festival, the San Francisco Asian American Film Festival, the Sedona International Film Festival, the Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, the Champs-Elysees Film Festival and the Bel-Air Film Festival. Shaya was also a finalist at the Academy Qualifying USA Film Festival in Texas, and took home the Platinum Remi Award (1st Place) at the Worldfest Houston International Film Festival, as well as Second Place at the Athens International Film & Video Festival, among other awards.
For Gut, the magic of producing lays in the fact that he is able to have a hand in every phase a film goes through on its way to the screen.
He admits, "Nothing makes me happier than when I'm on set. When I used to make films as a hobby on the weekends, I remember thinking– If I could get paid to do this, it would just be icing on the cake. It's really rewarding to read a good script and eventually see that script come to life."
It is also interesting to note that in addition to producing, Mike Gut has appeared in several of the films he's produced including Shaya and Timber the Treasure Dog, as well as worked as the director of the film Unfair and Imbalanced, which he produced as well.

Lula Sworn in as President, Promises Hope and Reconstruction for Brazil
On Sunday, Brazil's Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was inaugurated as president, delivering a hopeful speech about plans for reconstruction and promising to hold members of Jair Bolsonaro's outgoing administration accountable.
Lula's Third Term: A Political Comeback in a Divided Brazil
Lula's third term as president marks the successful conclusion of a political comeback.
It has excited his supporters and enraged his opponents in a deeply divided country. Bolsonaro, a far-right incumbent, was unable to secure a second term.
During a speech before Congress, Lula sought to reassure the nation, stating his message to Brazil was one of hope and reconstruction. He recognized the great edifice of rights, sovereignty, and development that his nation built had been dismantled.

— Lúcia Guimarães (@luciaguimaraes) January 2, 2023
On Sunday afternoon, Brasilia's main esplanade was filled with celebration as tens of thousands of supporters, dressed in the red of Lula's Workers' Party, cheered at his inauguration.
The president's promises to report on the previous administration to lawmakers and judicial authorities, revoke Bolsonaro's "criminal decrees" easing gun control, and hold the prior administration accountable for its COVID-19 denialism were met with particular enthusiasm.
Lula stated while they do not harbor any desire for revenge against those who tried to dominate the country for their own personal and ideological purposes, they will ensure the rule of law is upheld.
Without mentioning Bolsonaro by name, he added those who made mistakes will be held accountable within the legal process, with full rights to defend themselves.
Political analysts predict Lula's presidency will be unlike his previous two terms, given the highly contested nature of the presidential race and the resistance to his taking office by some opponents.
Lula Wins Controversial Election, Faces Economic Challenges
In October's election, the leftist Lula narrowly defeated Bolsonaro by less than two percentage points. However, Bolsonaro and his supporters refused to accept the loss, casting doubt on the reliability of Brazil's electronic voting system.
In the months following the election, some of Bolsonaro's most ardent supporters even resorted to what authorities and incoming members of Lula's administration have called "terrorism" – causing security concerns for inauguration day events.
As he begins his third term, Lula will face more difficult economic conditions than during his previous two terms, when Brazil benefited from the global commodities boom.
President Lula took office alongside indigenous, black, LGBTQIA+, and other representatives of the immense Brazil.
Welcome back democracy and hope! pic.twitter.com/3eUL0hlyux
— Tábita Hünemeier 🏳🌈 (@hunemeier_t) January 1, 2023
During his previous terms in office, Lula's administration implemented a successful welfare program that lifted millions of impoverished people into the middle class, earning him an impressive approval rating of 83% when he left office.
However, the country's economy subsequently suffered through two severe recessions – one under his chosen successor and another during the pandemic – causing hardship for many Brazilians.
Lula stated his priorities include addressing poverty, investing in education and health, and stopping illegal deforestation in the Amazon. In order to defeat Bolsonaro, he sought support from political moderates and appointed some of them to his cabinet.

Alley Kittens to Ally Cats| Katzen World Submission | Cat Photography
When the boys were just five weeks old- still in need of milk formula and bottle feeding- we rescued them from the alley life. While the two, palm-sized baby boys were exactly the same age, miraculously, they were not from the same litter; my husband and I had seen their two separate clans- the tabbies long-bodied and golden, and the oreos squat and broad- wandering around our historic neighborhood, behind shops and within alleys.

I became a nurturing kitty mama. As I worked from home as an Independent Author I was able to monitor their growth full time.
Their names- solely decided at first by me- were Nikotemo (the golden one) and Ennio (the B&W), but those names didn't stick. So my husband and I decided together…

Rico (front) and Charlie (back).
These two boys were brought into our lives after prayers and hopes had been put forth for months and months, waiting for just the right pair. We had always wanted two boy kittens so we could raise them together. My husband and I firmly believe all animals need a companion, else they suffer during their isolated lifetime. So our boys became our family, and we were blessed.

Love in the Dark | Music Interview
First, allow me to introduce the lineup of outstanding musicians:
Lead Guitar: Rob Bugos
Vocals/Rhythm Guitar: Mitch McLaughlin
Bass Guitar: Chris Kenney
Drums: Otto Gomora
Piano/Keyboard: Massimo Onesto
Saxophone: Cathy Gende
Trombone: Keegan Bramlet
I was fortunate enough to snag an interview with the bandmates of Love in the Dark. Here's what they had to say:
When you did you start developing your musical talent?
Rob Bugos: I began to play the music with the saxophone in 5th grade band and continued that through the end of senior year. However, I had always really wanted to be able to play guitar so I began learning the instrument when I was In 8th grade and have been just playing since.
Mitch McLaughlin: My mom and dad surrounded me with music, whether it was Guns n Roses or Joni Mitchell; both were drama and choir kids growing up. I've been in musical theatre/plays since I was 5, and joined choir in 5th grade, guitar in 7th, and put it all together freshman year when I started writing songs for a folk project I wanted to create. Everything sprouted from there.
Chris Kenney: I started developing my musical talent when I picked up the guitar at 9. I wanted a guitar for christmas; my parents said I had to learn a song first before they would buy me one. So I had one of my brother's friends teach me "Smoke on the Water," and as result, I earned my first guitar!
Otto Gomora: I began playing drums when I was about 8.
Massimo Onesto: I began developing my musical talent when I was 10. It started by playing guitar.
Cathy Gende: I started playing 8 years ago in 4th grade, and started actually excelling my 7th and 8th grade years at competitions.
Keegan Bramlet: I started playing the trombone in fourth grade, yet I never really took it seriously. In fact, I wasn't even going to continue on through high school.
When did talent become passion?
Rob Bugos: I really found a passion in music once the band starting sounding half way decent and I realized how much I love to write and perform. I also began to understand just how much there is to know within music and as a guitar player; I'd say much of my time up till this point has been a quest for knowledge and chops.
Mitch McLaughlin: It has always been a passion. I remember watching American Idol when I was super young and just getting pissed I couldn't audition the next year. Hahah. Yet the last four years have been a progression of passion, where everyday I wake up wondering how we- as a band- could outdo ourselves as well as the musical community, pushing us to strive harder. Like competition in the best way, only to motivate and not get lazy within our own scene.
Chris Kenney: I really started developing a passion for music when I started playing with other people. It was over time, yet playing with others and making your own music firsthand showed that music was a way to bring people together: I loved that and I still do. For me, bringing people together turned the hobby into my passion.
Otto Gomora: I didn't really get way into playing the drums until I joined my first band near the beginning of high school.
Massimo Onesto: That talent transformed to passion around my Freshman year of highschool as I became a more advanced musician: able to play songs of greater complexity.
Cathy Gende: My talent became a passion when I was placed in my school's top ensemble Sophomore year. That's when you could say I became more "musically intelligent".
Keegan Bramlet: On step-up day for the band program, I was introduced to amazing musicians. Music changed for me, and since then I have always strived to become a better musician like those I have seen passionately proceed me.
Do you see yourself pursuing a life-long musical career?
Rob Bugos: I do see myself pursuing music all of my life. I don't necessarily plan to make being a musician or performer my career, but I am going to college to major in music business and minor in music; so I am hoping to at least work within the industry. Playing, however, will always be a cherished hobby for me.
Mitch McLaughlin: I certainly do. Hell if I know what album or song or concept will do it, but I know I can't walk away from music. I'll be going to Nashville in the fall to major in songwriting, and minor in music business. So its for sure a career path.
Chris Kenney: I do see myself pursuing a lifelong career in music. Majoring in percussion performance at NIU starting Fall 2015, I enjoy the idea of opening my own percussion studio in order to give lessons to those wanting to begin their own musical journey of sorts. Playing and performing into old age is also a hope of mine.
Otto Gomora: I feel like I will at least always play my instrument with others
Massimo Onesto: I do not see myself having a career in music; however, music is still an important part of my life and will always stay with me.
Cathy Gende: I've always seen myself majoring in music but that might change.
Keegan Bramlet: I do not foresee myself with a career in music, yet the passion will always be there. My dream is to open a restaurant (with live music of course). Whether or not Love in the Dark someday plays there, love for music will always be a part of my life.
What is your favorite aspect of performing?
Rob Bugos:When you look out at the crowd and know they're loving it. That means your music has gone beyond just you and has really communicated with other people. I enjoy knowing there are those appreciating the noise we make.
Mitch McLaughlin: Easily, my favorite aspect is convincing the crowd to enjoy themselves. People our age seem a bit weary about going to concerts as usually they've only seen famous acts who have a giant team to make then sounds perfect, look beautiful, and act correctly. So when our first chord strikes and I'm dancing, I know people think it's silly, but I'm having so much fun; within minutes I can tell mostly everyone has forgotten about the venue: it suddenly becomes the perfect environment for listening and enjoying.
Chris Kenney: Performing is cool because you really get a chance to give others something great. And also, you get to put to the test all you've learned since you started your journey. Whats better than that?
Otto Gomora: At last playing the music for an audience and hearing the interaction that goes on between our band and them.
Massimo Onesto: Entertaining crowds of people alongside some of my best friends.
Cathy Gende: Definitely NOT soloing; the rest of the band will assure you of that. Shaping the lines of music appropriately and blending with the band to make an awesome sound: this is my favorite part. I also enjoy seeing people who get into the music.
Keegan Bramlet: I don't have one aspect of performing that I like the most because I love every bit of it. If I had to narrow it down though, I would have to say I love soloing. I love playing loud and making the crowd get into the music. However, it's an amazing feeling when you are jamming along on stage and you get into what musicians call, "the pocket", when every instrument is like a little puzzle piece and it all just fits in together to make one perfect, complete sound. That beats soloing every time. I love seeing people's first impression of our band, because at each venue there are at least two people who say "Wait, there are horns in this band?". One of them is usually Chris.
If you wanted your fans to know one thing important about your role or view of the band, what would it be?
Rob Bugos: I'd say that I would want people to know that I recorded our first album myself and it was the first real set of recordings I had ever done. Anything else I did was for fun and usually didn't involve more than capturing just a guitar or two: there was definitely a learning curve involved during the process.
Mitch McLaughlin: I want everyone to know that without our guitarist, Rob "Bobby B" Bugos, our songs would not exist: flat out, no arguments, never would have happened. He's one in a million. And without Otto supplying his basement, we'd never have the "following" we have today. Both are honestly the best parts of this band, and I say this while still acknowledging the incredible talent of each band member. Those two are specifically standout players for me personally. Yet I love this group as a whole: we're like a 2 -dimensional triangle, in a 3 –dimensional world. Together, we just manage.
Chris Kenney: Everyone has their role and must work together to form something greater than the sum of its parts. I am just the bassist. There are six other human beings that make up Love in the Dark, and each of them bring their unique personalities to the plate which is what makes the music. Its all a collaborative effort. Without rob, our songs wouldn't be nearly as well put together as they are: he masterminds everything. Without Otto, we wouldn't pay nearly as much attention to what's going on around us musically, because he really stresses that.
Without Cathy, wed be missing a great improviser (although she claims she doesn't like to haha) that also blends perfectly into a song, no questions asked. Keegan gives us sheer power, and really knows how to push a song to make it sooo exciting. Massimo offers a full, complete sound, just by adding the keys. And finally, without Mitch we wouldn't have any idea the direction to take our music. None. Zip. Nada.
My message is to not get into the feeling one person is ever more important than another because that just ain't true. While everyone has their own specialized jobs, your band is completely changed with the alteration of just one member. Understand that.
Otto Gomora: I think I just want them to know they're welcome to dance and groove with me during the shows.
Massimo Onesto: We have a unique sound by a good variety of instruments, making us a memorable band.
Cathy Gende: That I came into this project rather late and pretty much just play what I'm told (unless I'm improvising) which is fine by me.
Keegan Bramlet: I think each person has their role, but we are a band. Our job is to take our role and and make it work with everything else. There is a lot of compromisation, as well as collaboration. Having said that, I want our fans to know that we are more than a band, we are brothers… and a sister. We may not be related through blood, but we are family through our collective love for music: and I think that's just as strong.


Rick L. Carbaugh Builders wants to hear about your experience.
Have you received home construction or remodeling services from Rick L. Carbaugh Builders? If so, we would like to hear about your experience. Please leave a review on our Google Business page or fill out the testimonial form on the website. We love to hear from our customers!
Rick came quickly and the existing kitchen cabinet had to be modified to fit our larger, new refrigerator. Rick found the same cabinet maker that had made them in 2004 and the project was completed fantastically! The kitchen sink installation was perfect! All for a reasonable price! He also repaired our roof and garage door.
"Rick really knows what he is doing when it comes to any type of construction. He would do a great job giving you an estimate for construction and following thru with the building of your project. Rick and I are partners in Green Street Enterprises and built a 6 unit townhouse project and a duplex together."
I had an exterior door closed off and a wall removed from the kitchen a few weeks before Thanksgiving (poor planning on my part but it had to be done before the holidays or trying to cook in that tiny kitchen would have made me crazy). Rick was very patient with me as I continuously changed my mind, worked around my schedule for planning, and fit me in before the holidays. The work was done quickly, without excess, and professionally. I will definitely use Carbaugh Builders for my next project and would recommend them to anyone for large or small jobs. I love the openness and functionality of my kitchen now and enjoy cooking again.
We have had all of our windows replaced in our home 3 years ago and just last year had our Metal Roof installed on our house and garage. All of the work was quickly and a fantastic job was done by all. ! I would and HAVE recommend Rick Carbaugh builders to all of my friends and family. You cannot find a more reliable and experience builder anywhere.
Had Rick Carbaugh Builders screen in my porch. Siding was added onto the outside and inside of the porch. Also hand railings and screened door. Rick was quick in responding to my request and was always professional and very nice. My project was completed in an timely manner. Will use again for future projects. Very happy with my porch. .
very easy to deal with and supplies a quality product.
Very personable and kept us informed of any delays and why. We added some extras as the job progressed. We are very satisfied with the work done.
This project involved a variety of subcontractors in a number of capacities. The contractor kept things moving and there were seldom days that someone wasn't on the job doing the work in their speciality area. This was extremely well coordinated by the contractor and led to efficient use of time.
Thank you so much for EVERYTHING! :).
P.S. When we need anything else, you'll be the first we call!

The Jonathan Trio
lorraine walker | features
Twenty years ago, the "Ton of Fun" Kingsmen Quartet hired new members Parker Jonathan, Tim Surrett and Randy Miller. New power ballads and deeper lyrics brought the group into a different phase of ministry. Throughout the 1990's, the Kingsmen Quartet had an unmistakeable sound that included the vocals and MC work of baritone Parker Jonathan. The Kingsmen went through various changes in the early part of the next decade, resulting in the departure of Jonathan in 2002. Since that time, his name has been mentioned in various circles, with much speculation regarding the popular singer. With the advent of The Jonathan Trio from Bremen Georgia, the Southern Gospel world welcomes the return of Parker Jonathan.
Jonathan has had an interesting hiaitus from the Southern Gospel world. From work in a television production studio, to driving tour buses for various artists, this gentleman has learned much and become acquainted with entertainers and musicians from all genres of the music world. He has driven for artists such as Carrie Underwood, Wayne Newton and Judas Priest. Experts tell us that most people will have at least 10 different careers in their lifetime. Jonathan realized it was time to move on to another stage in his life.
"First of all, let me clearly state that I'm not back on the road", says Parker Jonathan. "My trio venture is strictly a part-time, weekend thing, which somewhat limits our travel opportunities. We're all employed elsewhere and trying to coordinate singing and working during the week can be difficult. Our weekends are open for ministry opportunities and right now that's where we feel God wants us."
Jonathan continues, "As for the decision to return to singing, it came after the encouragement of a few different people. I wasn't actively pursuing a return to gospel music but the Lord kept allowing me to cross paths with people who would encourage me to get involved once again. My time off has also allowed me to be more active in our local church, Northpoint Baptist in Carrollton, Georgia. Both Paula and I are involved in the music program at church and under the preaching and leadership of our pastor, Dr. Rodney Agan, God began dealing with me about using my talents for Him on a broader scale. The doors began to open and we've both followed the leadership of the Holy Spirit, which brings us to where we are today."
The Jonathan Trio consists of Parker; his wife, Paula; lead/tenor singer Eric Dunson and keyboardist Jacob Pitts. Eric's brother Chris Dunson is sound engineer for the group. Eric and Jacob both attend the same church as the Jonathans and are married with families. Parker says Paula sang with her twin sister during the early '90's, but it was a total surprise to him to learn of her vocal talent.
"When we were dating I didn't even know she could sing until I saw her on television one day," laughs Jonathan. "The Kingsmen were singing in Kempton, Pennsylvania and we were having dinner at the only restaurant in that little town. Because the restaurant was so small and it seemed everyone from the singing was in there, all the guys were split up between different tables. Greg Fox was in another room of the restaurant when he came to my table and asked me to come see the television near his table."
Jonathan continues, "I thought he was trying to pull something over on me so I was reluctant to go, but when I did I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Paula and her sister were competing on a talent show on CMT hosted by Charlie Daniels. They were finishing their song when I caught the show, and then were interviewed briefly by Charlie Daniels. I was so totally surprised. I had no idea she sang! After we married we only sang together a couple of times, but one of those times was during a reunion concert of my family's gospel group up in New York. When my father heard us sing together he really pushed us to start doing more singing, which is really how this whole thing began."
Paula Jonathan is employed with an attorney in midtown Atlanta and as Parker still works with the tour bus agency, it was a challenge to begin this new venture. Parker wasn't too sure about getting back into the business of Southern Gospel.
"When I left the Kingsmen, which was actually Carolina Boys at that time, I was so burned out," Jonathan shares. "I spent the first five years not listening to any southern gospel and reflecting on the pros and cons of the industry. When Paula and I first began talking about putting something together, I told her I didn't like the competition of it all. I probably placed that feeling upon myself and it was probably ingrained in me from my association with Jim Hamill. I disliked always having to feel like we had to be better than the group that just came off stage. That got tough when we had to follow groups like the McKamey's, or the Dove Brothers, or the Kingdom Heirs, or the McGruders in their heyday. When those groups did a spot-on performance and left people standing up begging for more, it was a daunting task to try to follow that!"
"Ten or fifteen years ago that would've been important to me, but not anymore," Jonathan continues. "We will go on and sing during our appointed time, do what we do, and let the Lord use it as He will. I'm not concerned with getting people on their feet, or with making sure our performance results in better sales. My only concern is pleasing the Father and making sure He is uplifted. That's my only concern. Everything else will take care of itself if He is glorified."
A typical Jonathans concert is different from any Kingsmen performance that included Parker Jonathan. "We are definitely a southern gospel group," says Jonathan. "No disrespect is meant for anyone who leans left or right in their musical stylings, but I prefer the straight-down-the-middle harmony singing and stylings of pure southern gospel music. Our concerts are a mixture of older, popular gospel songs as well as what I would term meatier gospel songs. We try to incorporate something for everyone without straying too far from southern gospel."
"What we're doing now isn't like the old Kingsmen concerts. We're a mixed group with no bass singer, which definitely makes things different. My time with the Kingsmen was educational, and Jim Hamill and Eldridge Fox were both wonderful teachers. A Jonathans concert will be entertaining, but the focus of every concert will be on who Jesus is, rather than who we are. When I was with the Kingsmen I could push any number of guys to the front and feature them. Randy Miller was a fantastic musician and always a crowd pleaser. Andrew Ishee was entertaining and his playing was superb. Ray Reese was always a crowd favorite. I could go on and on, but the fact is, this group doesn't showcase individual, dynamic, entertaining personalities. I try to stress to our group that we're a team and we try to approach each service or concert from that perspective. We do a lot of singing and when it comes time for ministry, we do it together, with one heart and one purpose."
Parker has a few goals for The Jonathans. "Corporately, I want us to be tuned in to what the Lord wants for each concert. If I've learned anything from my past experiences it's that each concert is different and you need to be sensitive to what your audience needs. If you're singing the same program night after night, not only is your audience missing out because of your repetitive performance, but you're also preventing the Holy Spirit from moving on you and ultimately missing a blessing yourself. We will try to be tuned in to what the audience needs at each particular venue and plan accordingly."
Jonathan continues, "I also want us to be as polished and professional as possible. That means lots of rehearsals. Many don't know the sacrifice of time it takes to refine the art of singing. Group singing is harder because you must learn to blend with the other group members, annunciate your words together, and work as a team. Not only are rehearsals involved, but you've also got performances, time spent recording, travel, and a host of other time-consuming details. Try squeezing that into a week already consumed by 40-hours on the job and you've made quite a commitment."
"I'm thankful that our entire team is committed to making this ministry as professional as it can be," says Jonathan. "We each make our own contribution to making the ministry function as a whole. I also want a professional approach from how we dress, to our performance, to our interaction with the audience as a whole and individually. I want us to be professional in our business dealings with churches, promoters, agents and other businesses we may be associated with. I don't ever want to leave a bad impression of what a Christian should be with anyone I'm dealing with. I believe when we honor our commitments and those around us, God is honored."
The Jonathans tailor their message to the souls attending any particular concert. "Each audience is different and we need to be aware of their needs," shares Parker. "Also, as we grow in Christ what we share with an audience will change. I'm continually growing in the Lord so I expect what we're sharing with our audiences today will be different than what we will share with them in six months or a year."
So what is ahead for this trio? "At this time we have no intentions of becoming a full-time group, however, that's just our idea," says Jonathan. "The Lord's ideas may be completely different, and if we're faced with the decision to go full-time, we'll deal with it at that time. For now, we don't feel God leading us in that direction and we're very happy with that. Currently, we're building our schedule of churches and maintaining them, and trying to make new contacts. We're also in the process of building a website which will further introduce everyone to our ministry and make us accessible to those who are interested in what we do."
The Jonathans have just released a CD entitled Chapter One, which contains Southern Gospel favorites. They have plans to record another project of new music with some songs being shipped to radio. Parker Jonathan has gained a lot of experience over the years and offers some advice to groups regarding their ministry, especially in this time of economic instability.
"I believe one thing should remain the same whether we're in a recession or not, and that's our commitment to glorifying the Lord through what we do. If that ever changes or our focus shifts, we've lost our purpose and what was once a tool to uplift Jesus Christ has just become a job or another form of entertainment. I believe God can be glorified thru Christian entertainment but there must be a balance, and those scales shouldn't tip in favor of entertainment. When that happens it's at the expense of His glorification."
Jonathan continues, "I think audiences are looking for the same things they were looking for 10 or 15 years ago. To a degree they're looking to forget their problems for a little while. From the standpoint of the gospel singer, if we simply offer them a good time for an hour or two, we've missed out on so much. We need to get past that mentality and take our audiences to a deeper place; a place where they can experience the grace and mercy of a loving Heavenly Father, and know that the God who created this entire universe cares so much about our everyday problems and issues."
Through everything that Parker Jonathan has seen and experienced, he is still relying on the Lord to lead his steps. This journey with his wife into a new ministry has taught them both many things regarding faith and trust. "When we started laying the groundwork for this group both Paula and I were overwhelmed by the costs involved. We watched our funds decrease as we invested in sound equipment, stage clothing, soundtracks, recording, and a host of other expenses we weren't anticipating. We had to rely solely on the Lord Jesus Christ to meet the need, and He has. While all this was going on, our church entered into a campaign drive to erase the debt on our buildings. Paula and I prayed and agreed to increase our giving, trusting the Lord to continue meeting our needs. He has!"
Parker Jonathan continues, "All my life I'd heard: "You can't out give God", and I'm finding out the reality of that statement. All He asks us to do is trust Him, and when that happens we find He is true to His word: "I will never leave you, nor forsake you."

Beatrice Tonnesen Introduced New Trend In 1890 Advertising
Following is a reprint of an article in the Oshkosh Daily Northwestern from Wednesday, September 29, 1954. The image of The Famous Tonnesen Models is from an advertisement in the 1903 issue of Profitable Advertising. Admittedly it is of poor quality. I am looking for an original to properly reproduce for a Zoomify image.
Photographer, Oshkosh-Trained, Wins World Renown
Author Turner says that in the pages of "Advertising Experience", published in Chicago in 1899, "There were captivating advertisements by Beatrice Tonnesen of Chicago who pioneered the use of live models in advertising. She offered for photographic purpose an unlimited range of beautiful and fascinating women, handsome men and pretty, bewitching children.' " The author points out that one of her fascinating women was shown, dressed only in a skin-clinging union suit, tugging at the grips of an exerciser. But, he says, "More conventional were Beatrice Tonnesen's pictures of dining cars on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, in which all the tables were occupied by Tonnesen models, looking no less poised and well-bred than the young women who are photographed in stratocruisers today."
At the age of 83, Miss Tonnesen is quite capable of giving her own version of how she began using live models for advertising purposes.
Born in Winneconne, Jan. 24, 1871, Beatrice Tonnesen moved with her family to Oshkosh when she was 5 years old. "The family soon recognized that art was to be my career, so I was given all the art opportunities Oshkosh offered." She says. It was her sister, Clara, who said one morning "Why couldn't Beatrice learn photography and make real pictures with the camera?" Beatrice says the idea took her by storm and that her mother made arrangements that same day with the leading photographer, Cook Ely, to teach her for $100.
Miss Tonnesen set up her first business in Menominee, Michigan, where she won the reputation of making people beautiful that followed her all through her photographic career.
A year later, Miss Tonnesen was offered the studio of a well-known photographer on Michigan Ave., in Chicago, and she and her widowed sister, Clara, packed up and moved to the big city. There were like "Innocents Abroad", Miss Tonnesen says, with Clara running the business part and she taking the pictures.
"When 'Beatrice Tonnesen, Photographer' appeared in big gold letters across the large plate glass window of the studio, it did the trick," says Miss Tonnesen. Reporters from all the Chicago papers came almost daily and columns were written about her photographic art. Among the wealthy and prominent families who patronized her studio were the Armours, Pullmans, Bartletts, Potter, Palmers and Selfridges. Mrs. Palmer was instrumental in having Miss Tonnesen appointed to represent American photography at the World's Fair in Paris. "This was of course a great honor," Miss Tonnesen says, "but I was not capable to undertake such a stunt as that, the great handicap of my defective hearing making it impossible.
While specializing in portraits, Miss Tonnesen recalls that "One day we thought up a fine scheme. We would make advertising pictures using live models, which had never been done before." Time magazine, in referring to the epoch making episode in a September issue for 1949, says: "…. Then destiny struck in Chicago; a photographer named Beatrice Tonnesen used pictures of live girls in ads for the first time."
A Chicago newspaper wrote the following about Miss Tonnesen's innovation in 1893; "…. A clever young woman who has fallen in with a popular trend in art matters …. Taking pictures which are sought after by art houses and artists themselves, for she is fertile in ideas as well as clever in execution."
Another Chicago newspaper describing her activities later in 1898 said, "If you should see a good looking, stylishly dressed, businesslike young woman critically studying the face and figure of a pretty working girl in a car, or chasing after her on the street, you may be pretty sure you will see that girl before long in some artistic and taking advertisement, for you have caught Miss Beatrice Tonnesen, Chicago's woman photographer, in the act of securing one of the famous 'Tonnesen models' that are in demand the country over." The article also says, "These pictures are taking the place of the old-fashioned advertisements in the magazines and other publications. Miss Tonnesen's scheme is to supply a picture that will suggest, at a glance, all the merits of the article in a convincing manner."
Buyers from large calendar firms came to the Tonnesen studio to purchase designs. They would buy her pictures by the dozen and all were competitors so it kept Miss Tonnesen busy creating to avoid the least similarity between any of them. "I made hundreds of them each and everyone entirely different in subject matter and arrangement." So busy was Miss Tonnesen she had little time to think about the money that rolled in along with the orders. "One year I designed and sold $20,000 worth of pictures and paid $1,800 income tax.", she remembers.
When her studio lease ran out in 1930 Miss Tonnesen retired to her sister's home in Winneconne (Wisconsin). She was destined, however, for still one more "first" in her "Mars Ware". This she created from clinkers and her pieces were such unusual and original works of art that Paramount Pictures asked her to allow them to make a "short" movie on "Mars Ware." The movie was shown throughout the world and brought many letters to the artist.
Although her 84th birthday is approaching, Miss Tonnesen still plies her art in her room at St. Mary's Home, 77 Boyd St., by creating original designs for brooches and earrings from seashells.

Lois Tonnessen Andersen says:
Where was Beatrice born? We share last names (my maiden name), changed by one "s", likely at entry to the USA. Tonnessen or Tonnesen is a name that originated almost exclusively in "Sorlandet", or South Land in Norway.
Lois Tonnessen Andersen
Hello Lois,\n\nThanks for writing. Beatrice was born in Winneconne, Wisconsin in 1871. However, a 1902 obituary of her father, Tonnes Tonnesen, reported that he was born September 7, 1838 in Mandal, Norway. He arrived in Winnebago County, Wisconsin in 1849, where he became a successful businessman, "conducting stores and carrying on other lines of trade." On January 20, 1948, the Oshkosh Northwestern (newspaper) published a family anecdote submitted by Beatrice. It stated in part, "My father, born in Norway from a long line of importers and merchants, came to this country when he was 21 years old, and established himself as a merchant in Winneconne, Wis., about 1850." Hope this gives you the information you need.\n-Lois Emerson

Q: How to collect the keywords from the search results using Selenium Python I want to creat a automation go to https://keywordtool.io/ and search for an topic and collect the keyword from it.
Code trials:
from multiprocessing.connection import wait
import time
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

Path = "C:\Program Files\chromedriver.exe"
##browser=webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
browser= webdriver.Chrome(Path)
browser.get('https://keywordtool.io')

search = browser.find_element(By.ID, 'search-form-google-keyword-md')
search.send_keys("funny shirt")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) # hit return after you enter search text
wait(10)

What is the problem here?

A: There are several issues here:

*

*You need to wait for the page to be loaded before applying this line

search = browser.find_element(By.ID, 'search-form-google-keyword-md')

The most recommended way to do that is to use WebDriverWait expected_conditions explicit waits.
2) with your current code this line wait(10) will cause exception since wait object still not defined.
3) if you want the browser to stay opened you can use the 'detach' option when starting chromedriver as following:
import time
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_experimental_option("detach", True)

path = "C:\Program Files\chromedriver.exe"
browser= webdriver.Chrome(executable_path = path, options = chrome_options)
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)

browser.get('https://keywordtool.io')

search = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.ID, "search-form-google-keyword-md")))

search.send_keys("funny shirt")
search.send_keys(Keys.RETURN) # hit return after you enter search text

A: How I understood your Question you want that the browser keeps open 10 seconds after the enter. When that is what you want you have to use time.sleep(10) instead of wait(10).

A: To extract the Keywords from the search results you have to induce WebDriverWait for presence_of_all_elements_located() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

*

*Using CSS_SELECTOR:
driver.get('https://keywordtool.io/')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input[name='keyword']"))).("funny shirt" +Keys.RETURN)
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "table.search-results-table tr span.font-weight-bold")))])

*Using XPATH:
driver.get('https://keywordtool.io/')
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@name='keyword']"))).send_keys("funny shirt" +Keys.RETURN)
print([my_elem.text for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//table[contains(@class, 'search-results-table')]//tr//span[@class='font-weight-bold']")))])

*Console Output:
['funny shirt', 'funny shirts', 'funny shirts for men', 'funny shirts for women', 'funny shirt sayings', 'funny shirt ideas', 'funny shirts for dads', 'funny shirt sayings for adults', 'funny shirt quotes', 'funny shirt designs', 'funny shirt svg', 'funny shirt jokes', 'cool funny shirt twitter', 'funny shirt for dad', 'funny shirt sayings for guys', 'funny shirt amazon', 'funny shirt ad', 'funny shirts australia', 'funny shirts about dogs', 'funny shirts about covid', 'funny shirts about drinking', 'funny shirts about work', 'funny shirts about wife', 'funny shirts about running', 'funny shirts about wine', 'amazon funny shirt', 'adhd t shirt funny', 'funny football shirt names and numbers', 'funny big sister announcement shirt', 'a funny shirt saying', 'funny names for the back of a shirt', 'funny for a girl shirt', 'funny things to put on a shirt', 'funny shirt brands', 'funny short bio', 'funny shirt business names', 'funny shirt baby', 'fun shirt brooks brothers', 'funny shirts brisbane', 'funny shirts beer', 'funny shirts bff', 'funny shirts bride', 'funny shirts batman', 'buckin funny shirt co', 'blink 182 funny shirt', 'blm funny shirt', 'buffalo bills funny shirt', 'bmw funny shirt', 'baby yoda funny shirt', 'bts funny shirt', 'best funny short jokes', 'best friend funny shirt design', 'best funny shirt designs', 'funny shirt company', 'funny shirt company names', 'funny short clips', 'funny short captions', 'funny short comics', 'funny short cowboy quotes', 'funny short campfire stories', 'funny short characters', 'funny short christian jokes', 'funny short captions for instagram', 'clowns are funny shirt', 'christmas funny shirt', 'covid funny shirt', 'cute funny shirt sayings', 'canelo funny shirt', 'crazy funny shirt', 'charmander funny shirt', 'chanel funny shirt', 'couple funny shirt', 'funny shirt design', 'funny shirt decals', 'funny shirt design ideas', 'funny shirt designs sayings', 'funny shirt designs mens', 'funny shirt dawn', 'fun shirt designs', 'fun shirt day ideas', 'fun shirt dress', 'doug funnie shirt', 'disney princess funny shirt', 'dad funny shirt', 'dare funny shirt', 'dea funny shirt', 'disney funny shirt', 'dog mom funny shirt', 'death funny shirt', 'drinking beer funny shirt', 'donkey funny shirt', 'funny shirt etsy', 'funny short jokes', 'funny shirt svg free', 'engineer funny shirt', 'electrician funny shirt', 'electrician funny shirt design', 'eeyore funny shirt', 'exorcist funny shirt', 'electronic funny shirt']

*Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
