    DALLAS --

    Lucky 21 has added Richard Krause to its directing roster for advertising and branded content. Krause’s body of work spans commercials, music videos, and brand films. He has worked for such clients as AT&T, Cisco, Duralast, Mercedes, Nvidia, and Orkin.

    Prior to joining Lucky 21, Krause was with Dallas-based Origami.

    Lucky 21 EP Brandon Tapp said of Krause, “Richard’s work is elevated, cinematic, and genuinely connects with audiences. Having honed all areas of filmmaking, from concept development to visual effects, he has a global understanding and directs from that perspective. It’s a value that makes him such a strong filmmaker and partner to the other creatives in the process.”

    Krause studied film and visual arts at the University of North Texas where he developed work that showcased his eye for visual storytelling. After graduating, Krause directed content for the Dallas Cowboys before moving to the Bay Area in 2007. There, Krause was a freelance director for companies, including Dolby, crafting brand-driven projects that marry style and narrative. 

    Now based in Utah, Krause said he was drawn in part to Lucky 21, having “worked with the guys in Sailor Bear (David Lowery, Toby Halbrooks, James M. Johnston) who are part of the Lucky 21 director roster–so it just feels right. Cool people, great work, and a little bit of home.”

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
