My Guest Post on the Xrite Blog!
In January, I was asked by Xrite to do a guest post about the ColorChecker Passport. In February, I sent them an article, and now in March, they posted it! I was very excited to write it. The truth is, creating the content only took about 15 minutes because using the CCP is so easy. However, I wrote the article three different ways and revised it a few times and then just decided that how I write is what I sound like. So I sent it over. Above all, I just tried to keep it real. No deception, in fact I should say just in case, that I was asked to write the article after my former boss, Photographer Mark Wallace, asked the folks at Xrite to send me a CCP (for free). Writing the article about a product that I love was the least I could do. Finally, without too much more blabbering, here is the article:
Matt Madrid Freelance Video Production
Today I made this little ad for myself while working on some of my animation skills. I found a free, royalty-free, licensing-free template online, and added, removed, and adapted some of it’s content. I learn a lot from working with well-made files. I believe I could now create this entire thing form scratch if I needed to. Someday I hope I can create some content to share with the world in the same way.

Land of the Blind – Capstone Film Project
I wanted to make sure that I had something posted in each category as I began setting up this blog and I thought that a good fit for this category would be my final film project from when I attended ASU. I wrote, directed, and produced this film during my last year right before I graduated in May 2011. I took a lot of time and a lot of money and I’m nearly done paying off the loans I had to take out to make it. I had help from so many wonderful friends and fellow film students, and so much support from my then girlfriend and now wife, and my family. I loved this project and still do.
PS. This video is posted on my editors vimeo page, that is why is says Frankie Mendoza instead of Matt Madrid. Frankie is awesome.
