Today’s very first image ever for A Desk A Day comes from Christine Chen. She took this image while on a flight to Mumbai, where even in the air she was working away editing a Moth to Flame project. Come back next week for another image from the field.
A Bird’s Nest required the creation of a hideaway in the forest that appeared to be created by found objects. Which included a doll that appeared to have gone through quite a traumatic experience before being used as decoration. As you can see in the gif director Christine Chen made sure the doll had an authentic antiqued look to it.

About two years ago we put together a little ad for the Doritos Crash The Super Bowl competition. It involved a pair of special underwear adorned with many resplendent orange chips, which you can see Kellie Penna handling with care in the gif above. Be sure to check out the video if you haven’t seen it!
One of Moth to Flame’s favorite things to do is create content for startups. Why? When you are a startup, most companies want to stand out and be different. That is exactly what we strive to do at Moth to Flame, be raw, unique, and edgy. The most common request we get from our startup clients, in regards to their crowdfunding campaign or commercial is… we want to go viral. We have helped many Austin companies raise over $200K worth of funding. Some products are definitely challenging, but we are not afraid to make fun of ourselves. Some of our…
In this video you’ll get an idea of the kind of work we do for our wedding clients to make sure that their important moments are captured on video. You’ll notice in the video that we’ve filmed traditional weddings and modern festivities. Not looking for a wedding video? We also film other events like bar mitzvahs and quinceaneras with as much care and detail to get you the video experience you desire.
Chasing a dream and capitalizing on it is hard. The biggest lesson I learned in 2014 is that there comes a time when the business takes over the craft. It takes extra effort on your part to let go of the business and trust the people you work with, so you can carry out your craft. Every step of growing a business has its own set of problems.

On the first day of arriving in Shreveport to film A Bird’s Nest the crew went out into a wooded area where we would be filming a good portion of the film. We started by checking out the more accessible areas, then moved on to an area that we had to walk a good distance to the actual area we shot at. This sequence of photos was taken during that walk.
