There is a lot to consider when branding your company.
By Alan Winner (Performer, Writer, Director)
If you’ve been reading my posts, you’ll know my partner Drew Rosene and I are starting a new company. I have not mentioned it in my last few posts, because we have decided to change our name. We are now Canvas Sky Studios.
Don’t worry, the Nodding Donkey won’t be going far. Soon, you will see a post about the launch of Nodding Donkey Films, but first things first… the studio itself.
We intend to make our studio available to a wider client base, and in further discussion with our business advisor, we felt like the image of a donkey would suggest too much that we side primarily with the Left. While this may be true for me personally, it is not my place to inhibit a person from spreading a message different to my own. Sure there will be some regulation of content based on the way we want to project our company onto the rest of the world, but we encourage discussion on both sides of the fence. The audience should get to make up their own mind. Too much bias in film leans toward propaganda.
One of the primary reasons we chose to start our new company in Tulsa, Oklahoma is the sky. Anyone can look into the sky and access that part of their brain that makes them wonder. We look up and see an elephant or a dragon, or perhaps, some passing sail boats. The clouds create the scenes, and colors (especially at sunrise or dusk) come from the sunlight in our atmosphere. Changing, adaptive scenes that fit the mold of any imagination. All you need to do is participate. Before our ideas are written down, they are evolving from our minds onto the limitless canvas of the sky.
CANVAS SKY STUDIOS LLC is an independent production house located in the heart of America. Surrounded by the wide open spaces of the Oklahoma landscape, we aim to revitalize the creative process by establishing and perpetuating environmentally sustainable practices to attract a new wave of creative minds, insuring a competitive product in an atmosphere promoting the artistic expansion of the Midwest.
Our vision is vast, but not at all unrealistic. I am certain that, with the droves of people flocking away from New York and L. A., we will be able to entice a steady stream of artists to the seemingly random location of Oklahoma’s Green Country.
Keep an eye out for updates. As we get more content edited, we’ll be uploading clips to the site to give an idea of what our studio and location can offer.
