The photoshadn't been delivered. A weekend shoot's worth of work was sitting in afolder that nobody could access, and the client was understandablyfrustrated.That moment — one lost Dropbox link — was the beginning of FrameCourier."The moment we sent that first link and the client repliedwith 'This is amazing, can we do this for every project?' we knew wewere onto something."— Brian Shaffer, Co-Founder, FrameCourier / WeDoVidsThe Three-Tool NightmareAt the

Instagram has just announced that it will no longer let users tap a hashtag to follow it from within the app. Matt Navarra posted the news and gave a clear explanation of why the platform is pulling the plug. Understanding this change is important for every brand that relies on Instagram to build connections and drive traffic.
In 1964, a 60-second ad aired once—and changed politics forever. Featuring a girl counting daisy petals before a nuclear explosion, Lyndon B. Johnson’s “Daisy” spot weaponized emotion, silence, and subtext to win an election. But its true genius? Creating this haunting masterpiece with 1960s technology: razor-blade film editing, tape-spliced audio, and optical effects. No digital tools. No undo button. Just analog grit and visionary storytelling.
As a video production company, we dissect how “Daisy”’s raw emotional power and technical innovation still define what makes video unforgettable. Discover why this ad remains a masterclass in persuasion—and why its lessons matter more than ever in our digital age.
