As we are all enjoying the holidays with our family and friends, the prospects of the new year loom over us all. No matter what, I think we all have resolutions for the new year. Some of us are better than others about doing them, but we all have goals and ambitions. Vision Video wishes everyone luck in all their endevours. As for the company, we have some goals of our own for 2012.
1. Get our new web series up and running. We will announce when the series will premiere and keep you updated throughout production. We already have the first script going with more on the way.
2. Get our name into major retailers. The wheels are already turning on this one but we want it to happen in 2012.
3. Get an informative website in addition to the online store up and running. This is priority number 1 right now.
4. Get the office updated. New equipment, furniture, the works. This will probably take the whole year, but we'll get it done.
5. Add at least one "visionary" to steady payroll. I decided after starting to read Dave Ramsey's "EntreLeadership" that I don't really like employees either. Subway has their newish artists and we will have our visionaries.
6. We want to get three more projects out on DVD by December 2012. So if you have anything to distribute please contact us! Music, movies, series, whatever!
Well that's all I could come up with for today. Wish us luck and we'll keep updating. Thanks for reading!

In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm super excited about the upcoming Green Lantern animated series. They recently aired an hour-long sneak peek of the series and I must say, I was impressed.
At first I was hesitant because it's going to be completely done in CGI. To make matters worse it's being done by the same animators who did the Star Wars Clone Wars series. Now, while the animation was great, the character design left a lot to be desired in my opinion. Also, I'm a huge fan of DC's 2-D animation department. Even since 1992 when Batman The Animated Series came out they've been pioneering animation. Some of their other great series were Batman Beyond, Justice League, Superman The Animated Series and Justice League Unlimited (my personal favorite). Their feature length animation films have been even better. Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths has some of the best animation I've had the pleasure of viewing. Warner Premiere (their feature length animation studio) also came out with two stellar Green Lantern movies, First Flight and Emerald Knights. First Flight in particular is very, very good. I honestly believe that if they had gone with the storyline from First Flight instead of the Parralax angle in the live action movie with Ryan Renolds, it would have been met with better reviews and box office revenues. But to my point. Why, if they hav had such succes with 2-D animation in the past, would they choose the more expensive and risky route of computer animation? Well, the answer lies in the backdrop. The new Green Lantern series will be taking place primarily in space and on alien worlds (a top cmomplaint of the live action movie). By using CG they can actually re-use the same designs and tweak them a little bit instead of fresh drawings every single time.
Anyway, my doubts were unfounded. The series was excellent and it goes ahead and makes the primary antagonists the Red Lanterns which makes the story interesting, engaging and takes away the need for an origin story! Case and point, If you're a fan of Green Lantern, animation, or both you will enjoy this series immensely. Even if you're a fan of sci-fi shows you'll probably enjoy this incarnation of the Green Lantern saga.
