We're excited to share another video we made for The FEST! The video features different students and staff from Notre Dame talking about their partnership with The FEST. Also check out this link for a cool scholarship opportunity: www.thefest.us/ndcscholarship
One of our most recent product related videos we got to film and edit was one for the company Finalmouse. They recently came out with a brand new mouse design called the Ultralight Phantom, which is known for its lightweight and sleek design!
Check out some behind the scenes photos of the shoot below!
Last night, Black Valve hosted a special exhibition for local artist, Shelly Duncan's photography and zines. The event also served as a little goodbye party as Shelly will be leaving for California in the next couple weeks for several months! The art show featured a series of portraits, landscape shots and creative photography from Shelly that she took both in Cleveland and in other places around the U.S.
During this exhibit Shelly also premiered a zine called "Boys Don't Cry" which featured a series of portraits as well as quotes from the models. The zine featured models, Christian Williams (cover), Kevin Inthavong and Zach Griffin as well as graphic design by Shane Converse.
The show also featured a couple of Shelly's modeling photos, taken by Evan Prunty and Amanda Specht
We had a blast hanging out with everyone and helping Shelly showcase some of her amazing photos! Be sure to check out more of her work on Instagram: @Ash_Shelly. If you didn't get a chance to catch the exhibit, Shelly will have some prints up for sale on our website soon, so keep a look out!
Last Wednesday, members of the Black Valve team went to Warped Tour in Cleveland at Blossom Music Center. This was the festival's final tour, with a lineup that included bands such as All Time Low, Four Year Strong, 3OH!3, We The Kings and many others.
"It was important for me to go the last Warped Tour and get the experience one last time. This year I was able to see Underoath, Chelsea Grin, Simple Plan, Bowling For Soup and a few other bands," said Evan Prunty, co-founder of Black Valve.

However, this wasn't the first time Evan and the other members of the team had a chance to go the the alternative music fest. Like for many Cleveland punk-rock fans, the yearly summer event was something much anticipated for many years.
"In 2013, I was able to play one song on a Warped Tour stage in Indianapolis and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had," Evan said. "It will be interesting to see what takes the place of the tour in the summer, but for now if you haven't been and there is still a date you should go one last time."
