Jim Rupert heads up the audio recording and engineering. The space also has ample space for in studio video recording to go along with our top notch video editing capabilities.

Wildberry has worked together with David and Associates out of Hastings, Nebraska to develop and post the new website for the Golden Spike Tower in North Platte, Nebraska.

We wish you all a happy holiday season

We are settling into the new office and getting it fixed up. Feel free to drop in sometime.

We finally moved into our new office space in Fallbrook. We still have some finishing touches that need to be done, but the location, space and parking are great. The new sound stage and control room are flat out awesome. Once we get settled in we will have an open house, probably after Thanksgiving. I'll post some finished pictures soon.

The finishing touches on our new space in Fallbrook which in the north west corner of Lincoln is wrapping up. The new address is 570 Fallbrook Blvd, Ste 102, Lincoln, NE 68521. The new office space will have close to the same square footage as our current location and includes a 16x30 foot sound stage with a 15' ceiling. The paint, floors and details should be complete and ready to move in before the end of October. We are excited about the move into the amazing new location.

The Original Brown Baggers on 84th and Van Dorn in Lincoln is under new ownership, being locally owned and operated by Kathy, Kate and Jason Bingham. The goal was to establish a simple but effective web presence for the sandwich shop. You can visit their website at www.brownbaggers84th.com.

We are glad to announce that Dharmawan Sentosa has been able to move from part-time to a full-time position this year. Dharmawan (Dhar) is an amazing programmer. Another change is that Jim Rupert will be taking on the position of project manager for all Audio and Video productions. Also Seth Teager has joined part-time as a designer and programmer. It seems like our team just keeps getting stronger and stronger each year. Now if I can just get to this blog entry more often

The team at Wildberry wishes everyone a happy holiday season.

Hope everyone had a good turkey day. We are thankful here for all our great clients, friends and family. We are blessed. As you can tell by the two entry's below there is some change and growth happening here at Wildberry. We are also looking for a unique position, someone with accounting background but interested in a challenge as a project manager. Any previous knowledge of our industry is useful, but not necessary. We need someone that is well organized, can handle a fast pace and loves to learn. This is an entry position and would learn behind some of the best project managers around. Let me know if you're interested.

If you are a PHP programmer or know someone that is, and are looking for a job, let us know.

We are on the lookout again, this time for a graphic designer and web programmer. If you or someone you know is a designer that has great understanding of Photoshop, illustrator, dream weaver and has great communication skills, point them in our direction. We are looking to fill this position by mid December or the first of January. Have them contact Jason, Leann or Brynley.

Boo..Berry

Our video department has boomed this last half of 2008. We have been enjoying traveling all around to various locations to film. From the high places like the top of a fire truck boom at 120 feet or a ethanol silo at 150 feet, down to level ground around the state, it's been a fun 2008. Because of this we have added yet another video person to the group. His name is Gavin Felix. He is a talented videographer, editor and producer. Gavin is a former track and field guy so that is a plus for me. Welcome to the group.

Time flies, 2008

I mentioned Dharwaman and Jared in the entry above and I thought it would be good to expand on that. Dharwaman joined our group about five months ago. He is originally from Indonesia and came to Nebraska for college. He has been working for us on a part time basis and has a very strong work ethic and programming knowledge, plus he likes the Chicago Bears, so that was bonus for me. Jared has been with us for about a month now. He is a very talented Director, Producer, Videographer and Editor. He studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Georgia. He has been a huge addition to our video production area.

Yes our own website is the last thing to get touched. We have been so busy with client projects we have not had a chance to mess with our own blog. Some quick updates on the company is that we have brought in Jared Staab to assist in our video production area and also Dharwaman Sentosa who has been working as a web programmer for us they are both very talented young men. We are still growing and are looking for ASP, PHP programmers for our web development side of the company. We hope everyone enjoyed the 4th of July and are having a good summer. At this rate my next blog entry will be in November... We'll see.

I just realized we hadn't updated our blog in a while. Since the last entry we have been very busy and business is going great. Also another member of our group got married; Emily Thorson and Andy Gerch tied the knot on November 16th. Congrats! We also had a very busy holiday season and we hope that everyone reading this had good holidays. I will try and be better on update the blog this spring.

This past weekend our own Brynley Thomas got married to Scott DeRiese. We are all very excited here at Wildberry for this great event. They have been truely blessed and should have a great life together. We wish them the best.

We have added yet another designer to our mix. Amalia "Molly" Horn is new to our production group. She is a graduate of UNL and has strong design, photography and software talents. She has hobbies of teaching dance and origami, but not all at once, that could cause some bad paper cuts. She is a welcome part of our group.

Thanks to everyone who attended our Open House/One Year Birthday Party last Thursday. It was our first Wildberry party and we weren't sure what to expect. Seeing so many clients, friends, and family members attend made us really happy and excited to show off our location. I want to give a special thank-you to all of the artists who allowed us to display their artwork throughout the workspace. We received many compliments and want to remind everyone that all of the showcased pieces are for sale. If you have any questions please feel free to give us a call or stop by the office. To all of you who were unable to attend the party, we would love to see you sometime in the near future. Our door is always open! Thanks again!

On August 30th at 3:00 pm we will be holding an open house to celebrate our one year anniversary. The Lincoln Chamber will do a Ribbon Cutting at 3:30. The event will go till 7:00 pm. So if you are interested, please feel welcome to come join in the fun. If you plan on coming, visit our RSVP page - Click Here.

We have a new member to the Wildberry group, web designer Tim Scahill. Tim is a Wesleyan grad that brings talent and creativity to our web development. He also has a hobby in music which includes singing in front of crowds as part of a band. He is a great guy and a welcome part of the group. We still are looking for additional talented web designers to join our team so see the July 11th entry below and contact us.

This summer has been a busy one so far and with that comes more company growth. We are currently looking to add entry level web designers to our team. We are looking for individuals with strong programming knowledge in HTML, JAVA, PHP, ASP, etc... Abilities in the major Adobe softwares along with strong design skills are a must. So, if you know of anyone that would be interested, have them contact us.

Wildberry is proud to announce that Jim Rupert, with Studio Q Recording will be joining the Wildberry team! Jim brings almost 40 years of audio engineering experience and has worked in Europe with such notables as members of The Beatles and The Who. He has engineered and provided character voices for many clients in the Lincoln and surrounding areas and has authored over 50 feature articles for industry publications such as Modern Recording and Music, Rolling Stone, db Magazine and Billboard magazines. Along with continuing to serve the lengthy list of Studio Q clients, Jim will be working with the audio for Wildberry's video and film division. Jim's expertise will bring the quality of Wildberry productions to a whole new level. Welcome to the Wildberry family, Jim!

This also means we have completed our recording studio. When you come by the office we'll show you around.

We are excited to announce that we have completed production on Urgent Care Clinic of Lincoln's new website! Jason thoroughly enjoyed streamlining Flash video throughout the entire site. Dr. Rice and the Wildberry team have heard an abundance of positive feedback and look forward to working with Dr. Rice more in the future. Check out the new UCC website at www.ucclincoln.com.

Summer is here and that means summer internships. This year we have a couple really good one's. First is Sophie Vodvarka, she is attending Creighton and is a journalism major. She interned for me when I owned Artisan Creed, she did so well there, it was a no-brainer to have her intern again. Our second intern is Amy Jackman, she is a graphic design major at Dana and is also a track and field person like myself. She is a hurdler and of course I'm a pole vaulter, so we both like attacking barriers that are put in front of us. Anyway we are blessed to have two fine interns with us this summer. Welcome ladies!

I just noticed we hadn't posted anything on our blog for a bit. Sorry about that, we have been extrememly busy. Since the last posting, we have had many changes. We are getting very settled into our office space. Dustin Larimer, a great designer and programmer has been added to our group. Emily got engaged to her fiancee Andy. Corkey is organizing the musical "The WIZ" for the Lincoln Playhouse for this summer. I've begun volunteering at Seward High School coaching the Pole Vaulters again. Brynley is leaving us for Mexico, she should be back in a week if she doesn't end up in a Mexican jail. Oh, and Leann won the Nebraska Lottery... It was only a dollar, but hey she won!

We added our first large national client with Griffen Bikes and continue to have a very full production schedule. We have truely been blessed. We're also looking at adding to our design group some more. We will try and keep more on top of the blog to keep everyone up to date on activities at Wildberry.

We're having a busy beginning to the year. To top it off, we had the majority of our office furniture delivered and set up today. The office is starting to look great and finally settled in. If you're curious as to how it's looking, stop in and say hi, we'll give you a quick tour.

Everyone at Wildberry would like to wish Happy Holidays and a very "Berry" New Year to you and yours. We would like to thank our clients, family and friends for their trust and encouragement in 2006 as we continue this wonderful adventure in 2007. May the New Year bring prosperity and good health to one and all.

We're pleased to announce that the Wildberry team garnered some much-deserved media attention this week. An article in the Midland and Lincoln Business Journals highlight the explosive growth that our company has experienced in its first five months of business. We have been blessed with great friends and clients that are helping us grow. Afterall, we only succeed when our clients succeed.

It seems like a long time coming, but with the smell of new carpet in the office, our remodeling is almost complete. We do have a few finishing touches left to do in the video studio and kitchen, but for the most part it is done. Our office furniture was ordered, so we are looking forward to having that installed soon. I think everyone is looking forward to the new chairs the most. I'm personally looking forward to the couch in the lounge.

Check out these snapshots of work in progress!
- Walls Under Construction
- Our Front Door

We've been in the middle of a construction zone at Wildberry for the past several weeks. The walls are up, the new carpet will soon be installed, and the stylish workspace furniture is on its way. Brynley, Leann, and Emily have undertaken an impressive remodeling project in an effort to make Wildberry Production Group the premier production house in the heartland. Way to go, everyone!

If you've heard a bubbly voice on the end of the phone recently, there's a reason for that. Wildberry has added Emily Thorson as our Administrative Assistant. Welcome to Wildberry, Emily!

WPG has been in business for over two months now and I'm amazed at the growth we've experienced already. We enjoyed hearing from old friends that we've done work for in the past and the many new friends we have been making. There is definitely a pumped-up atmosphere and excited attitude around here. Feel free to give us a call anytime!

What does the "production" mean in Wildberry Production Group? Ever wonder what we do here at Wildberry? Well, we're a production group that does many things that advertising firms do plus a whole lot more. We make computer-based training CDs, produce videos and commercials, design websites and e-mmercials, and develop logos. Interested? Just call or email if you have a project for us!

First off, this is a day that should be remembered by us all. I pray for our troops and the survivors and families of 9/11. May God bless them and our great country.

We have posted a news release in the Journal Star here in Lincoln in the Business Achievements section. We have had many phone calls asking where we are and what we are doing. I hope the press release answers some of those questions and our previous blog postings should as well. I'm very excited about what we have been able to achieve in such a short amount of time. We have truly been blessed in this adventure so far. If you have any questions or want to get a hold of us, please feel free to do so. We will look forward to hearing from you.

We placed a temporary place holder for the site. It's nothing special, but it's there.

We have come up with floor plans for our space. I'm pumped because we have 3200 square feet of open space. That's like giving an artist a blank canvas. We have been coming up with different ideas and we think we have found what we like. The process to get contractors and everything lined up will begin. We hope our creative talents will be displayed in a functional yet vibrant work environment. We are also creating a large recording booth that I'm looking forward to using; it will be adjacent to our video suites. Oh, and I almost forgot, I'm a technology nut and we just received our new editing machine. We now have an Avid Express system and DV-CAM decks and three 21" monitors to go with it. This is a huge step up from the systems I've had in the past and I'm really excited to start working on them. I will post some construction pictures as we move forward.

We have phones and internet access! Our new phone number is 402-477-WILD (9453) and our emails are set up; they can be accessed on the main website. Give us a call...

Ronda Smith as agreed to assist Wildberry with its development and oversee our company's structure and policies. She has had experience at Disney, Conagra, Union Pacific and Artisan Creed in similar roles. She is going to be vital to us as we begin this journey. She is a very skilled leader and organizer. She also has a background in creating training curriculum and organizational structures that will be beneficial for any potential computer or interactive web-based projects. We welcome Ronda to our group.

Jason has hired some additional quality personnel. Leann Wiese and Brynley Thomas, formerly of Artisan Creed, have joined us at Wildberry. They both have a great amount of experience and knowledge of our industry. They will be helping us with the development of our new business and managing our projects. I'm excited to have them joining the group.

Our group has found a new location to call home. The Candy Factory building in the Haymarket of Lincoln has the charm and look that we all love. We are looking forward to moving in and will begin building our office to suit our needs.

Corkey Ford and Wildberry have agreed to work together. Corkey formerly worked with Nebraska HHS and Artisan Creed. He has been involved in the video/film industry for most of his professional life. He has contracted with Wildberry to oversee the development of the video/film areas. He will be a huge asset to our company and to our growth as a company. He is a good friend and a talented producer and director.

Jim Sundeen has joined me in the adventure. He previously served as a writer at Artisan Creed when I was there. He will be serving as a creative and technical writer and will also be using some of his computer technical knowledge to help me with IT. I'm excited to add his assistance and talents to Wildberry.

Its official: Wildberry Production Group is incorporated. After I sold my half of Artisan Creed, I decided to start a new business. I have been praying about this decision and I'm confident that I have made the right choice. I wouldn't trade my experience of co-founding and running Artisan Creed for the world. I believe that we must learn from our experiences and use that knowledge to move forward. I see this as a new adventure and I'm eager to begin. As we go through the process of growing a new company, we will be adding to this blog. Check back for new updates
