We’re getting super pumped for the September breakfast after sitting down with Chris O’Conner and Zach Waters from Prodigi Arts to talk about video! This talented group of designers, animators, videographers and illustrators are creating a wide range of video content, from 3D animations to heartfelt testimonials. And one of their ranks just won an Emmy! In our interview, Chris and Zach share some of their challenges as a relatively new business and some of their tips for folks trying to make their own web videos. Definitely check out their website at Prodigi Arts, and connect with them on Facebook!

Then there’s that big news in the social space this week: Facebook Places. We are curious as ever to see how the launch affects the established location-based services, like Foursquare and Gowalla. We are still big proponents of Foursquare rewards in Memphis, though, and we’re even starting a website dedicated to it! It’s not live yet, but it’s on the way!

So join us for the breakfast for sure, on September 1 at 7:30 am at the University of Memphis Holiday Inn. Chris will share some more insight into the world of video, and then we’ll jump into the core conversation in which we talk about what social media issues are on your mind! RSVP here.

The September Twilight Camp will be on September 16th, at LunaWeb this time (Davis Kidd must be getting tired of us, after all). 5:30 to 7:30, don’t miss it!
