Russ Fairley is the president of RFP Video, and is a well known industry influencer having written for several trade publications, as well as presented at industry conferences and podcasts. Russ had this to say about Rampant Design Tools and their work: “We don't all have the luxury to work on high budget, long timeline projects, but my corporate clients require the same high quality effects they see in broadcast and cinema grade content. I've tried a number of quick drag and drop solutions, but most of them look just that: quickly thrown together, and at a such a low image grade. To get real value out of these types of tools, they need to be exceptional, and the only products I've seen at this level are the products from Rampant Design Tools.”
Russ continued, “It’s clear from the caliber of Rampant’s tools that they are designed by a multi-Emmy Award winning VFX team. Not only are their tools professionally planned and encoded for high quality and speed, they are also designed at a level that would take me hours or days to emulate on my own. I've yet to come across a project where Rampant couldn't help my bottom line, and now that I have bought their Extreme drive, I literally have over 8000 cinema-grade visual effects, indexed and organized. Now, at the drop of a hat, I can turn a clip from dry and corporate to epic! I don't start a job without my Extreme drive. Period. It's part of my daily arsenal.”

Directed by Liz Charky, the music video for Henry Hall’s ‘Tiny Door’ is a playful and profound exploration of the song’s intriguing perspective on love. Silly moments and serious heartbreak are skillfully weaved together in a series of cheeky, dreamy, profound, and sometimes psychedelic scenes.
“I am a huge fan of love songs that have an unusual, hyper-specific perspective on love,” says Hall. “That’s what I wanted to do with ‘Tiny Door.’ It’s about loving someone unconditionally while recognizing that love is something that isn’t always straightforward — I think that’s something we all attempt to come to terms with in our lives. I thought it was a unique yet universal detail about love and therefore an intriguing subject matter for a song. Even though the song is a ballad at its core, it still has a lighthearted sense of humor to it — that’s really portrayed well by Liz, and Ellin Aldana, our cinematographer.”
Charky explains, “When I first listened to the song, I felt it was a love song full of longing with a kind of wishful melancholy. As I spoke with Henry about his intention behind the lyrics and sound, I was assured that I'd need to explore heartbreak in a nuanced way – with a degree of levity and playfulness. For me, falling in and out of love runs the full course of human expression. Love and heartbreak can be so emotionally intense and sometimes lonely, other times quite goofy or liberating. In developing the concept, I focused on both the literal and figurative ways that falling in and out of love might look like. So, you see Henry and co-star Franny Arnautou falling, flying, dancing, raging, winking, smiling, and... Read More
