Written by Hanna on August 19, 2024. Posted in Blog, BTS.

Last spring, we welcomed Lisa Purcell to the team as our new Office Coordinator! Lisa comes to us from New York with an extensive background in television and film production. Get to know more about her by reading her answers to some interview questions below!

What excites you most about working at Jpixx?

The Team! Everyone here at Jpixx is so welcoming, helpful and incredibly talented!

What sparked your interest in the entertainment industry?

When I was in high school, I watched “Eat, Drink, Man, Woman,” by Ang Lee, and that opening sequence made me fall in love with how film can evoke emotion, awe and inspiration.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I enjoy listening to live music and anything that involves being outdoors.

What’s your go-to karaoke song?

ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” hands down.

Fun facts about yourself?

There are so many…lol. I was onstage with Green Day at Woodstock ‘94! It was epic!

(See if you can spot Lisa backstage in this video! *hint, she’s wearing a pink shirt!*)

Tell us about some of the coolest projects you’ve worked on throughout your career.

Before my career in television and film, I worked in the music industry and got to tour with Youssou N’Dour, The Grateful Dead, and Peter Gabriel (pictured below, left to right).

What advice would you give to someone entering the creative world?

Don’t be afraid to start at the bottom and work your way up; there is so much to gain when you work in every aspect of the industry. And, be persistent! If you want it, make it happen.

Meet Caleb, our new Post-Production Supervisor!

Written by Hanna on May 3, 2024. Posted in Blog, BTS, Feature.

In April, we welcomed one of our previous employees BACK to the team – this time with a new title. Caleb Chamberlain moved to Texas in 2020 after working at Jpixx as an editor & filmmaker, only to return to Virginia Beach with his family in 2024 and take on the role of Post-Production Supervisor. Since we’ve seen him last, he’s developed a super high-tech mini series on YouTube, made exclusively with AI. Check out his work and read on to learn more about Caleb through these Q&As!

What excites you most about returning to work at Jpixx?

Being back with a tight knit group of people! After working for a few companies and brands, it has become evident that the people you work with 8+ hours a day are what’s most important.

What is a skill you’re most proud of?

Most recently it’s been my deep dive into 3D animation and virtual production. I’ve come a long way in a short time and am excited to continue learning more about it!

What is something valuable you’ve learned during your career?

The most creative individuals are learners. Even at the highest levels of production, being open to learning, adapting, and problem solving with a group of people that have the same mindset is the most valuable place to be. Nobody likes to drink stagnant water.

So, it is understood that you are a coffee aficionado. What is your favorite brand and how do you take your coffee?

I’ve been trying different brands and shopping around some. It’s no lie that I can be a bit of a coffee snob and getting on board with a specific brand is hard to pin point. I will say, the best coffee brand I have had in the last few months is Foxtail Coffee in Orlando, FL. And if I am reaching way back, Flight Coffee Co. in NH is pretty solid as well!

If you could visit any place in the world, where would it be and why?

I’m a simple person. I don’t have a lot of global aspirations. But if I had to choose – quality time in Wyoming is at the top of my list, but out of the states would probably be Ireland.

Italian Delights at Ynot Italian

Written by Jon Abrahams on February 26, 2015. Posted in Advertising, Blog, Publicity.

Attention Hampton Roads, your favorite pizza place is getting an upgrade! No, Ynot isn’t changing their awesome recipe. Instead, it’s expanding its branding to become Ynot Pizza & Italian Cuisine.

That’s right, embrace the change and embrace all that “Italian” has to offer: Baked Ziti Parmigiana, Fruit di Mare, Eggplant Rollatini and of course, the cannolis.

We visited the restaurant’s Great Neck location to film a spot about the rebranding and capture the essence of its menu, centering around the lovely Dunlap family.
