Getting creative at bedtime

Five Threads recently released our latest promotional video, and we think it’s fantastic! I found the animator though Elance and am happy to say that the project moved along with efficiency and creativity. Since my video production capabilities are laughable, I knew I needed not only a professional, but one who could also guide me through the process.
Ms. Bron delivered a wonderful video. I look forward to seeing what she can do for Tuck Me In Cards next!

Not pre-packaged, reasonably priced

admin — Tue, 24 May 2011 20:53:55 +0000

Taffy Gallagher is a creative talent with intelligent business sense. She produces a classy marketable image that is both efficient and effective. Many of my colleagues have invested well over twenty thousand dollars to develop websites with disappointing results. My experience with Kool Rd Studios has been the opposite. The price was reasonable and the product successful in connecting with the clients I want to attract. The difference at Kool Rd Studios is Ms. Gallagher’s ability to understand the marketable characteristics of your business, which she translates into a signature design. Her work is not pre-packaged. She develops a stylish logo, with presence and visibility that connects people to your business. I highly recommend Kool Rd Studios for your professional design needs.
