GEORGE KAMPER + CHIESI PHARMA

June 10, 2024

When Maven selected Photographer / Director George Kamper for the Mycapssa photo and video shoot featuring real patients battling Acromegaly, George focused on empathy. Over three days, George captured the patients' stories through interviews, filming at various locations, and taking portraits. He also provided close-up images for promotional materials and documented behind-the-scenes moments for the client's product release.

George's goal was to create authentic, emotional content while ensuring patient comfort. During pre-production, he held Zoom meetings to plan the flexible use of backgrounds for interviews and stills. Considerations included wardrobe, makeup, hair, props, locations, weather contingencies, and, most importantly, patient care.

George prioritized the patients' comfort from arrival to the end of the shoot, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience. He spent time with each patient beforehand to build rapport and confidence, aiming to capture them in the most flattering light. The shoot wrapped up smoothly each day by 4 pm, with positive feedback from the client, agency, and patients.



After the shoot, George received appreciative emails and a glowing review from the Executive Creative Director: "Looking good is the best revenge. I recently worked with George on a complex project involving studio and location shoots over three days. He and his crew were the best I've worked with—nimble, professional, and meticulous. I couldn’t be happier with the results and look forward to working with him again to continue looking good."

Weaving History and Storytelling into Every Brushstroke Eric Cash’s work is defined by meticulous attention to detail, a deep understanding of history and culture, and an ability to weave personal narratives into each piece. His art invites viewers to explore rich stories and unique visual experiences, blending technical expertise with a genuine passion for storytelling. With this approach, Eric brings a distinctive and thoughtful style to every project, making him a fantastic resource for original commercial work. The painting Sunday Night (60” x 48 1/2”) captures a typical American family watching the Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964. The scene includes a mother, father, two girls (one visiting), and a younger brother, each with distinct characteristics that hint at their roles and reactions to the historic event. The visiting girl is holding a Meet the Beatles album and a Life magazine spread, while the brother is trying to filter out the girls' excitement with his hand over his ear. The father, uninterested, waits for "real talent" to appear, and the mother seems unsure, reflecting the general adult sentiment at the time. The artist draws from personal experience and memories, incorporating items like his mother's sewing basket and grandmother's tension lamp as personal Easter eggs within the painting. The TV guide and props, like Anacin and Kent cigarettes, help tell the dad’s story, with subtle nods to the 1964 cultural context. A Mercury mission headline is included in the background to tie in real-world events from that day.

🏈 Bringing the NFL Logo to Life in 3D: Lincoln Durham’s Creative Process 🏈 When TracyLocke, Frito-Lay, and the NFL needed a 3D logo that was both highly textured and fully editable, they knew exactly who to call - Lincoln Durham . His challenge? Take a designed logo and turn it into a dynamic 3D masterpiece that could be easily customized and animated. Lincoln used Cinema 4D and Illustrator to create the logo, building every shape with live extruded vector elements. This meant that adjusting depth, bevels, or even switching to a Spanish version was a breeze. To make the logo pop, Lincoln tapped into Redshift inside Cinema 4D, adding realistic camera bokeh and lens streaks. But the real showstopper? The lightning. Created from vector shapes and textured to act as independent light sources, it gave the logo an electrifying presence. Originally, all the elements were locked within the logo, but Lincoln later split them up for easier positing. This made edits and modifications smoother, ensuring the final product met every creative demand without a hitch. Lincoln’s ability to merge technical precision with creative flair turned this NFL logo into a standout piece. At Those 3 Reps, we’re all about celebrating talent that takes branding to the next level. Need a show-stopping 3D design? Let’s make it happen!
