news briefs impatient cow moves to huge new facility
Left to right: producer Jon Foster, VFX supervisor Jake Bastian, chief animator Arnie Mecham, post production supervisor Nathan Buchanan and director Elliot Cutler.
slc, ut - Impatient Cow has moved to a new 35,000 square foot building including post-production suites, offices and shooting stages. Located at 264 S. Glendale (1135 W.), it was built in 1936 and was previously used as a 7UP bottling plant. After extensive remodeling and repurposing, the Cow now has several editing suites, a DaVinci color correction room, a dedicated audio room with a large sound booth capable of recording multiple performers at once, hair and makeup salon, wardrobe rooms, prop design and fabrication area as well as garage parking for several trucks. Work is just beginning on two sound stages, which will include a dedicated green screen cyc and a white screen cyc, both with full lighting grids. Additional production offices are planned for the second floor. The gang was sad to leave their previous home at the Barn, which had been their roost for nine years, but they are easing the transition by referring to the new complex as “the Ranch”.
lorraine press acquired by conquest graphics by Emma Khachaturian slc, ut - In 2006 Virginia-based printer Lewis Creative Technologies (LCT), now Conquest Graphics, moved into a 90,000 square-foot facility on 14 acres of land, across the street from Richmond’s International Raceway. Conquest continued its expansion by purchasing Lorraine Press in Salt Lake City. We spoke with James Dawson, Brand and Marketing Manager for Conquest Graphics and Bob Miller, former owner of Lorraine Press. James said the purchase was made to give Conquest a second location so they could serve the entire country more efficiently. He said, “We wanted a manufacturing and shipping location as close to the West Coast as we could get to that targeted area. As a company, it fit our criteria geographi-
cally as well as from a business standpoint.” According to James, in the months since the purchase the plan is paying off in savings of time and money to Conquest customers on the West Coast. Bob Miller, owner emeritus, mentioned that this type of acquisition may not be a very common model because print businesses are typically small and individually unique, creating a homogenous, family-like culture between employees, “it takes the right marriage of personalities, and in my opinion this is rare.” Services offered at Conquest’s location in Virginia include: mailing; photography; website design, development and hosting; graphic design; offset printing; variable information printing; fulfillment; survey data and
collection; and digital printing. The Salt Lake City facility is currently producing 75 percent of locally generated work while they continue to build and accommodate e-commerce clientele. Christopher Lewis, CEO of Conquest Graphics said “over the last five years or so, our focus has been to harness technology in a way that makes us highly efficient and much more competitive.” As a result they came up with this e-comm, mass-production model. Bob agrees that this is the key to sustainability in the print industry. Utilizing the Internet, telemarketing, new strategies and products have helped pushed them into the 21st century. Both Lewis Creative Technologies and Lorraine started as and continue to be familyrun businesses. LCT opened in 1922 and Lorraine in 1947. Christopher said, “Both companies have long histories of innovation, quality, and customer service. We are looking forward to taking our combined operations to the next level.” The company has come a long way since legal forms and briefs says James.

news briefs salt lake community college is major partner in $15 million economic development project slc, ut - Salt Lake Community College has been named the lead educational partner in a new $15 million partnership with Goldman Sachs. Called 10,000 Small Businesses, the program features Goldman Sachs providing $10 million in loans to Utah businesses and another $5 million over five years for mentoring programs and classroom education for small business owners which will be taught by the College’s School of Professional and Economic Development. This program supports Utah small-business owners by providing them access to resources and capital that they need to expand their companies and create new jobs in Utah. This will be possible because Goldman Sachs will make lending capital available through community development assistance groups that are more flexible than traditional banks. The College was selected as a 10,000 Small Businesses partner as the state’s comprehensive community college and Utah’s largest provider of workforce development programs. SLCC was also an attractive partner because of the full slate of resources and programs at the Miller campus that help Utah’s small businesses including the Women’s Business Institute, the Salt Lake Small Business Development Center, and the Utah Small Business Development Center Network.
reister named in forbes’ list of top 100 global ad agencies that know social media and google slc / phoenix - “As a fully integrated advertising agency, RIESTER sees digital as a critical component in a larger marketing approach,” says Alan Perkel, partner and chief digital officer of RIESTER, “We are truly honored to have our innovative products and strategies recognized by a thought leader such as Forbes.”
fda selects riester for national anti-smoking campaign slc / phoenix - The Food and Drug Administration Center for Tobacco Products has picked RIESTER and five other agencies to produce advertisements for the administration’s national campaigns to prevent youth tobacco initiation and motivate youth and adult tobacco users to quit. RIESTER’s past campaigns for Arizona, Colorado and Louisiana, including the “Tumor Causing, Teeth Staining, Smelly, Puking Habit” campaign, the “Chuck” adult cessation campaign and its most recent “Venomocity” youth tobacco prevention campaign, helped propel RIESTER to the final selection. RIESTER has been helping to keep teens off tobacco across the country for the past 16 years. In fact, Arizona saw the largest drop in teen smokers of any state in the country, down 12 percent over the past two years, while most states saw little or no change at all.
mountain express magazine wins best of state award
SLCC will be the lead partner in delivering the program, and will work with the Pete Suazo Business Center, the Salt Lake Chamber, the Salt Lake Small Business Development Center, the Utah Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Utah Small Business Development Center Network. These partners will help to recruit clients for the program. So far, this program has produced a 99 percent graduation rate among participants. And, even better, more than 70 percent of small business owners who have gone through the program report that they have generated higher revenues and more than half have added new jobs as a result of the program. This is the eighth program currently active in the country, following Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Long Beach, Los Angeles, New Orleans and New York. Salt Lake City is a great fit for Goldman Sachs, as it is the site of the company’s second-largest U.S. operation. In all, Goldman Sachs plans on distributing $500 million dollars to promote small businesses across the country. Classes for the program will begin in the winter of 2013.
10th annual “spot on” call for entries slc, ut - The Utah Film Commission invites all Utah residents and students to enter the “Spot On” commercial contest.

Recognizing a desire to perk up Overstock.com’s television campaign, its in-house marketing team put out a call for concepts. Taking first place was Salt Lake-based director Matt Hodgson with a custom-branded song, “O is the One,” and a series of fantasy journeys through a virtual warehouse where dreams come true via limitless options and an effortless shopping experience. Sam Osselaer, managing director of marketing for Overstock.com says, “We’ve been running similar-styled spots for the past several years which are elegant and tell a great story. But we needed to take it to the next level. In meeting with different directors and production teams we were brainstorming with that and how to do it. Matt Hodgson was brilliant in bringing the whole virtual warehouse to life. That’s how we selected him and worked from there.” Tim Dilworth, senior vice president of marketing says, “As we saw different storyboards from a couple different folks we really fell in love with Matt’s idea of the virtual warehouse and having a customer sort of metaphysically enter that warehouse. The storyboard and the spot looked remarkably similar, so they did an amazing job of really pulling it off.” “Working with Sam Osselaer, Tim Dilworth and the rest of the Overstock team has been an absolute pleasure. Sam and Tim are such great collaborators, they understand the creative process, they know great creative when they see it, and they have been super supportive in partnering with me and my teams to bring this concept to life,” says Matt Hodgson. The fall campaign consists of three :30 television spots and runs a national buy through mid October with the winter campaign of three :30 television spots running through the end of December. With Matt Hodgson being based in Salt Lake and working with executive producer Jeff Miller with the Salt Lake-based office of Vineyard Productions, they assembled a production team using the best talent in every category from Matthew Williams, cinematographer, to Chuck Myers, Big Idea Music who did the music score, storyboard artist Cameron Gardner, and grips, wardrobe, stylists, et al. The large 26,000 square foot stage provided one stop for simultaneous use of a 75’ wide by 25’ high green screen as well as set design for multiple scenes. Visual Effects were done in Santa Monica with Steele Studios VFX with creative director/colorist/editor Jerry Steele, executive producer Jo Steele and their team. Tim says, “We love the fact that Matt is local. Having somebody with that much talent here locally cut down on travel time and other expenses. We love working with him.” And Sam says, “It was really a pleasant surprise, having grown up on the coast of California, to have a rich talent pool right here.”

Overstock.com taps local creative for fall and winter campaigns Matt adds, “Being able to bring a huge VFX concept like this to life was only possible because of the team we assembled. Everyone on our team is renowned in their respective discipline, and that kind of talent brings an inspiring level of creative energy to the experience. Jeff Miller is a brilliant producer—end of story. Matthew Williams is truly one of the most gifted Cinematographer/DPs you could ever hope to work with. Musically-speaking Chuck Myers is a virtuoso. When it comes to creating astonishingly cool visual effects we turn to Steele Studios a lot.” Overstock.com website visitors can enjoy a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the spots prior to the release of each spot. Interviews with Matt Hodgson, Matthew Williams, Chuck Meyers, Overstock.com’s director of marketing Sam Osselaer plus talent and crew bring the viewing audience close in to the production process of creating the magical spots. In keeping with Overstock.com’s legacy practice of engaging on-the-rise musical artists, a new musical talent will star and perform her or his unique take on the core branding mantra of “O is the One” for each campaign. Sonnet Simmons stars and sings in the fall campaign and Jennifer Paige in the winter campaign. Sam and Tim respectively enjoy the challenge and opportunity of the value-based nature of Overstock.com that targets a broad, diverse audience with a huge, across-the-board product offering. Sam says, “We offer a great value to our customers. In the past I’ve had more of a premium product so it’s really interesting to come up with new and exciting ways to communicate that there is value while still offering high-quality goods.”

of Utah’s political advertising landscape
Who would want a job that requires the nimble navigation of a shifting political and media landscape in a high-adrenaline election campaign in which the winner takes all? Are you a tad stressed out, just reading that last sentence? Well, designing political advertising campaigns is the dream job of two men whose companies are representing Utah candidates in the November election. “It’s a very strategy and research-driven exercise,” said Bob Henrie, a partner in R&R Partners, the Las Vegas-based agency best known for its Las Vegas “What happens here, stays in here” campaign. Henrie works from R&R’s Salt Lake City office, one of his company’s six satellite sites. “You are in a one-on-one competition with somebody else for a matter of weeks, and there’s a day of accountability, election day, where whether you won or not, and how well you performed is demonstrated by actual results. There’s lots of games that incorporate the same elements, it’s a chess game, but it’s very fast moving. It’s satisfying when you win and very frustrating when you lose,” says Bob. Bob’s current clients include Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch and Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, both republican incumbents in their races. Tom Love, a founding partner in Salt Lake City’s Love Communications, is designing a campaign for Utah state Sen. Ben McAdams, a democrat running for Salt Lake County mayor. “We’ve got to believe it’s the best person for the job, and then we’ll figure out a great, creative, fun way to get the public to take notice of our candidate,” Tom said. “You’ve got to elevate the likeability and the name ID of the candidate from zero to 60. We have to believe in it. It’s not about the money.” Both Love Communications and R&R
we’ve turned down either because we don‘t think the candidate can win or should win, but if we believe in the person and we believe it’s the right person for the job, regardless of party, we work with them,” Tom said. The process begins with talking to the candidate to determine values, strengths and the kind of messages that need to go out. Surveys, polls and voter test groups help identify the public’s concerns. “You really have to be on in terms of understanding who you’re trying to reach, what their decision making processes are, and what they care about and what they don’t, because you don’t have any margin for error,” Bob said. Both Tom and Bob agreed that Utah voter turnout will be much larger than usual this year due to republican Mitt Romney’s presidential run. Romney has strong Utah ties, and is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, so church members likely will turn out to support him. And since the majority of LDS Church members are republican, according to polls, and because Utah still has a straight-ticket voting option that allows voters to select all candidates of the same party, Utah democrats may face a disadvantage. An effective ad campaign can make the difference at election time. “For the vast majority and for major offices, they have to participate on those battle fronts to be credible,” Bob said. “You’ve got to be in the game if you’re going to win.” Lindsay Zizumbo, program manager at the University of Utah’s Hinckley Institute of Politics, agrees advertising is key. “I don’t think it’s optional,” Utah: she said. “It’s an important part of campaigning, and one -Forbes Magazine of the most effective ways for a candidate not only to get his or her name out but to define themselves.” Advertising made the difference for Sim Gill, elected Salt Lake County District Partners handle many corporate clients, but Attorney in 2010. taking on election campaigns offers the “I ran two campaigns,” Sim said. “The first chance to stretch their competitive muscles campaign I came close, but we did not win. and make a difference in the world.

feel were miles apart. It was a partnership. For us, it was really about presenting a very confident, polished image to our community. “A political campaign is no different from a product campaign or marketing campaign in a some respects. Obviously a political campaign is substantively much more, but the mechanics are fundamentally the same. And having a critical partner who understands how to deliver on that product can really help.” With the message defined and refined, it’s time to identify the right media. “Television is a great ‘reach’ medium, so you can reach the majority of folks in the county to let them meet the candidate,” Tom said. “When voters get in the ballot box there’s a lot to vote for. Our job is when they come to Salt Lake County mayor and they see the name Ben McAdams, they go, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s right, I like that guy.’ Boom. Ben.” Bob believes television ads are worth the relatively high cost. “I am still a big believer in broadcast media,” Bob said. “It used to be you bought on the networks, and a few independent stations. Now your media team has to sort through virtually hundreds of programming options. You can have the best ads in the world, and if you’re not getting them effectively placed in the spots where they’re going to be viewed, you’re missing it.” Lindsay believes television ads already are losing the young adult demographic due to TiVo and DVRs, which allow users to skip ads, and to Hulu or Netflix. “I think the demographics these ads are reaching has shifted,” she said. “I think you’re reaching an older generation with broadcast, but I do think your broad reach has lessened due to the new technology.” Nearly all young adults are on the web, she said, “Social media is huge. It is a way for candidates to speak directly to constituents on a regular basis—an every minute basis, and every hour basis.” Tom said advertising on social media sites help a candidate to reach specific audiences.
“You can really target by age and by demographic and by zip codes,” Love said. “We know there are certain parts of the county that are more important to us (for the McAdams campaign). Like in Salt Lake City, Ben is really well known and he will carry Salt Lake City pretty strongly. We need to go out and get republican moderates or independent voters in Riverton, Sandy, Draper, West Jordan, those areas, the soccer moms, sort of, to vote for Ben. So we can target those neighborhoods with digital and social very effectively.” Tom said use of social media sites has doubled in the past five years. “The average person spends three hours a day on the web, and television use has remained flat or even grown. Television use still averages five hours a day for the average Utahn, and what happens is they are using the Internet simultaneously with television.” Bob said a web presence is vital to any campaign. “Anymore it is just flat expected that for any candidate in every race you’re going to have a website, you’re going to have a Facebook account, you’re going to have a Twitter account. You can use it for research and polling, and listening purposes, to let people volunteer or take a yard sign. You can use it for fundraising. Building an effective database is extremely important.” Billboards and other outdoor signage still offer strong value. “We rarely don’t do billboards, but their value obviously is just to create an awareness of the campaign, and for a candidate that lacks name identification helps build name ID.” Tom said clever billboards have drawn positive attention to the McAdams campaign. “The billboards are funny, they’re eye catching, and they’ve already generated a couple of different news stories because they’re funny,” Bob said. McAdams billboard messages include “Eagle Scout, not Eagle Forum,” Yeah, he’s different” and “Democratic candidate, Republican support.“ Ben said constituents like the playful billboards. “It’s gone viral in the sense that I‘m hearing about it everywhere I go, people saying they love our billboards, they love the campaign we’re running, that it’s a positive campaign, yet we’re managing to draw distinctions in our campaign through this creative message,” McAdams said. Lindsay has reservations about the overall effectiveness of billboards. “They’re great for name recognition, but
they’re seen in a 10-second increment as you pass by them, and once you‘ve seen them once you sort of stop seeing them after a while.” Radio remains a useful medium, Bob said. “It has its limitations because it is not visual. I think it is a
very good support medium for television. Radio costs less than television does, both in production and placement, so when you’re on the economy budget radio may move to the top of the list.” Radio is ideal for quick responses, Bob said. “Radio is used to react to a candidate misstatement or untruth,” he said. “Radio is more of an immediate reactionary, late-game strategy.” Tom says he has lessened his use of print advertising for recent campaigns, while Bob said he still finds print useful. “Many people now don’t go to their morning or evening newspaper to get their news,” Bob said. “They‘re getting it elsewhere, however we still place an active amount of media in print. It does allow you to reach more active and more aware voters, because they are reading the newspaper, and secondly it lets you put out there a 60- or 90-second message, whereas with broadcast you’re much more limited.” Direct mail has its pros and cons. “It has become far more challenging, in part because people’s mail boxes fill up very quickly,” Bob said. “And with online payment and people communicating via email, etc., people don’t go out to their mail box and anxiously sort through their mail like they used to do. There’s still a role for direct mail, but it does have to be very, very, very targeted and distinctive.” Tom uses direct mail. “There are certain neighborhoods where we need to be more effective and turn independents into our supporters, and you know where they are, so you can use direct mail like you can digital, to target neighborhoods.” Direct mail is considered the medium of
last-minute strategies. “Most of the nasty stuff that happens late in the campaign happens through direct mail,” Tom said. “Candidates can’t respond to them, don’t know who gets them, don’t know how many went out. They are often done anonymously. Really ugly things go out. That’s always what you watch for at the end, the nasty stuff the opponents do at the 11th hour.” Lindsay said direct mail’s potential to reach voters with specific concerns is high. “You could do nuclear testing for down winders in the southern part of Utah, you could do urban sprawl in Salt Lake, you can do family values in Utah County, so I think direct mail is extremely persuasive to voters.” But only if the message is brief and powerful. “There’s a rule in campaigning called ‘From the mailbox to the trash can,’” she said, with a laugh. “The direct mail piece has to be read in the amount of time it takes for the voter to reach into their mailbox, pull the mail piece out, and look at it as they’re walking to their garbage can and throw it away.” sidebar Scott Howell (D), candidate for U.S. Senate, using a Utah agency undetermined at presstime.

The developer, Woodbury Corporation, and their partner, Redman Movies and Stories, a Utah Film Company, formed a joint venture that will renovate the historic Granite High School buildings to be used as settings in future films, construct 90,000 sq. ft. of new office and retail space for the entertainment industry, and use the existing green space on the 26.85-acre campus for outdoor and large-shot film projects. The campus presents a truly unique opportunity for the film industry. Each building has a strong architectural character from many eras: 1920s Neoclassical design, 1940s art deco on the auditorium (built by the CCC, Community Conservation Corps, instituted by the Roosevelt Administration during the post-depression era, designed to put America “back to work”), the 1960s classic modern architecture of the Industrial Arts building. The football field with century-old trees framing the green space is priceless. Numerous movies and TV shows have been filmed on the campus, and the Utah Film Commission frequently sends location scouts to Granite because of the endless possibilities for filming and sets. 14 adnews |

BRuCE NEIBAuR AND MATTHEW WILLIAMS SHARE THE TooLS FoR CREATINg A BELIEvABLE ERA oN FILM by Susen Sawatzki
e long for the invitation to exist in a different time and space. It’s the true nature of our creative minds—to create a journey so personal, so distant that it allows us to reflect back onto our lives with a new and sometimes enhanced perspective. In the film business, it’s called suspension of disbelief—the trance that lures us away from our current experience. And this is why the cinema has sung the lullaby of escape to the world for decades.
adnews sought out a duo who tells the stories of some of the most compelling icons in history that include; William Randolph Hearst in the IMAX film that is shown at the Hearst Castle visitor’s center; to the amazing story of Ibn Battuta, following his first pilgrimage in 1325 from Tangier to Mecca in the IMAX film, “Journey to Mecca;” to the one and only Jesus Christ in the series, “The New Testament,” produced by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-‐day Saints. The craftsmanship of the talent and crew led by Director Bruce Neibaur and the vision of Director of Photography Matthew Williams lure the soul into another dimension each and every time. Turns out, Bruce has an affinity for “period” films. As a child, he couldn’t get enough of Ben Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago and privately admits to playing with his plastic army soldiers, as a young child, to the dramatic blaze of his mom’s opera music—already directing the multimedia reality for his toys. And Matthew’s confession is that he loves to shoot on film—in wide format—for “period” pieces. Even though there is uncertainty with not being able to review the video right on the spot, the result is a visual experience that tops what video can do by orders of magnitude. However, he concurs that there is always a place for both digital video and film. Just hoping that film will

remain an option into the future. My generation came to appreciate Shakespeare through Franco Zeffirelli in his production of “Romeo and Juliet.” In that film, the Shakespearean language was spoken in its pure form and transported the viewer into Romeo and Juliet’s world— an unforgettable movement. In its second year, Bruce and Matthew continue to deliver the defining stories of the New Testament. As I watch the stunning vignettes portray the rich and timeless message of the New Testament, I notice this history is told mostly through the ethereal language of expression and gestures. Then, when the scripture is spoken in its pure form, it is profoundly powerful. The question begs: How does one create an era so believable that the story transports the viewer willingly and effortlessly deep into the moment and keeps them there for the duration? Such a burden no longer stumps Bruce and Matthew, but it was not easy in coming. The two began working together some 20 years ago and along the way, have made all the mistakes and then some. And then cycled through the mistakes again and again accumulating awareness with context. Allowing mistakes to be your teacher delivers knowledge through intuition.

achieving the optimum result is nearly second nature to them. They are attuned to finesse the story through the invisible details—invisible that is until that detail is overlooked. Bruce explains, “You realize how important the details are in everything that you see—in anything you see—the details of everything in the frame,” and continues, “Your hope is that from the very first frame, the audience is drawn in. They think only about the story and the characters. There’s nothing that pulls them out.” Susen: What are the most common things that pull people out of the story? Bruce: “With a period film, I think it can quite often be something that doesn’t look real. The audience can spot it and not even know that they’ve spotted it. It might not even consciously register, but something is out of kilter, out of joint, and you’ve already started to lose them.” For instance, Bruce explains that using polyester throws a historical scene out of kilter. As will use of colors, or plastic, or a hairstyle that is not in sync with the situation, the character, the era, the time of day...you get the idea. Matthew says that it’s nearly impossible to have all of those details in check in addition to lighting, staging, etc. until you learn what I will refer to as the Zen of it all. He says, “Every room, every space, every piece—a couch is right or wrong based on the character. “And yet in the beginning of your career, you’re kind of overwhelmed with everything so you’re unable to really focus—you’re standing there with the actors and everybody’s ready to go and you don’t really have the ability in those early days to see everything at once. “It’s the same with lighting. I couldn’t see it all. I could see it later when the pressure was off and I’d wonder, ‘Why didn’t I see that in the background? What

was I thinking there?’ But you’re so overwhelmed by everything, you’re going to miss that weird fabric back there or a color—the things you wish you could have fixed. And that is only after time after time after time; and gaining that understanding of how it all works until you are really able to see.” Matthew describes the process as though it were an orchestra. It is impossible to detect if an instrument is out of tune or off tempo outside of the context of the entire orchestra. Assembling the right members of the orchestra is key. While Bruce is the conductor, if given the option, he will always choose to work with Matthew because, “He doesn’t just show up and light, it’s all oriented to the character, to the story—what do we do with light that advances the story. “Matt reads and studies and integrates himself into the requirements of the story. What I started to learn is that there are very few people in terms of set decoration and costume design that really understand what it takes to do period pieces. And Matt is at the top of that understanding as DP. The real point is, you start to gather all this information and begin to understand why things look good and why they don’t. Once you get that absorbed into yourself, you don’t have to think about it any more. It’s just a matter of finding the right people to execute and fine-tune it.” Bruce continues, “You take what Matt and I are working on now, ‘The New Testament’—and you take our collective experience. We knew we would deliver a top-notch product for the Church. I look at what we’ve done by taking a fine-art approach to the material and coupling that with a classic approach to staging and filming and I can see why the material is inspiring the audience. They are not burdened with the logic, the disconnect and the clutter of lots of cutting and coverage. The audience has time to absorb the story and listen. In the Nicademus scene, it runs for two minutes without a cut. It’s perfect.” Matthew adds, “It’s something people would be afraid to do in this day and age—it takes guts because we don’t shoot that extra coverage. It’s not there, so that’s going out on the creative limb and committing to it. We are determined. We know we have it.” Shoot on film—Matthew: “Film is the right canvas for this project. The organic feel and texture with film grain being movable and not static, it creates a little more aliveness. When you’re dealing with something that’s 2,000 years old, it feels more believable. It feels like you’ve entered into another world.”
In theatrical wide format—Matthew: “There is enough room to let the stories evolve in the frame.” On a set built exclusively for the project— Matthew: “It all started out by standing in that field. How you orient and face the set to optimize and accommodate the ever-changing light. How you would think about using the contour of nature. Every step of the way, you examine the textures and the stones and how in every moment, natural light plays into the set, the scene.” On fine art, classical style—Bruce: “You hopefully capture imagery that if you stopped the frame, if you held on a single frame, it would look like a great painting. The great fine-art paintings were a lot more than paint and color. With Rembrandt, it’s just mind boggling because his work is so beautiful, but also so dramatic. It made you think about what was going on. This goes hand in hand with the more classical film approach, you are letting organic action happen in the frame. “There are reasons why these great paintings continue to live and people come back to them—why those images stay with them. And so we hope that with this project, we’re infusing this imagery with that quality. I look at scenes that we’ve done and I feel like I’m looking at fine art.” The producer team on the client side led by Senior Executive Producer Elder Lynn G. Robbins, Lead Executive Producer David Nielson, Executive Producer/Production Designer John Uibel and Producer Scott Smiley are credited with the vision of creating these biblical vignettes with a quality and an essence that is as pure and lasting as the original material.

Utah’s Education Mosaic
Fueling Utah’s competitive edge with a relevant workforce Human Resource, workforce, personnel, troops—that by many names, is the elusive elixir to success for a country, a state, a city, a company. Planning for tomorrow’s workforce as an inherent part of economic development and corporate strategy is what Utah’s post-secondary education institutions are up to hand in hand with the Utah Department of Workforce Services (DWS) the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED), Economic Development Corporation of Utah (edcUtah), USTAR and Prosperity 2020. Every healthy ecosystemthrivesondiversity;hewhoknowscode,shewhoknowseconomics— they who execute through critical thinking, communication skills, environmental awareness and together as a whole, meet on the common ground of corporate, community, global cooperation.

G o v e r n m e n t I n n o vat e s Former Utah Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. spoke at edcUtah’s annual meeting recently and expressed optimism for the future. He believes that manufacturing is the future of economic growth and encourages Utah to prepare for what’s coming around the bend and get there first. And it is a properly trained generation that will make it happen. He calls it “human capital” and he listed the steps to Utah’s economic success as, “You have to have your fundamentals right on tax policy. You’ve got to have access to capital. You have to have a fast government with whom you can deal with and limited bureaucracy. The last thing to get you there is the human capital. And I believe that focusing on our workforce preparation is going to give this state a huge advantage as we move forward.” Christopher M. Conabee, managing director of Corporate Recruitment and Business Services for the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) uses Utah’s highly educated, highly motivated workforce as one of the arrows in the quiver to attract corporations to locate and/or expand in Utah. Recent home runs include eBay, Adobe, Proctor and Gamble, Goldman Sachs, Home Depot, Peterbuilt, FLSmidth, Schiff Nutrition, ITT Corporation, L3 and Hexel. Among the locally grown are Xactware Solutions, Inc., Xi3, H20 Tech. Each one of these organizations need a different palette of skill sets and the only way these companies can thrive in Utah is by having a steady supply of local individuals to choose from for all levels of employment from CEO to customer support. 20 adnews |

An over-arching strategy of economic development is guided by Utah’s Economic Cluster Initiative. From the website: “Economic clusters are groups of related businesses and organizations within industry sectors whose collective excellence and collaboration provide a sustainable competitive advantage.” By attracting and organically growing workforce within GOED’s Clusters, a framework of synergy for bricks and mortar resources, transportation, technology and of course, relevant workforce.” Christopher Conabee illustrates a scenario. When a high-ranking executive or a person with specialized training moves to Utah on behalf of, for example, a technology or an aerospace company, if the time comes when that person desires vertical or lateral change that is not available with the current company, that person will have choices within Utah for employment, without having to move. The Clusters identified by GOED are: Aerospace and Defense, Energy and Natural Resources, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Software Development and IT, Outdoor Products and Recreation and Competitive Accelerators that include: Advanced Manufacturing, Lifestyle Products, Logistics and Distribution Centers, Nanotechnology, and Natural Products and Dietary Supplements. adnews’s slant will be towards the creative industry expressed through the Software Development and IT Cluster. The targeted industry sectors were thoughtfully chosen and organized to align with the values and natural resources of the region. It is imperative to be mindful of what center
of gravity is created and develop a deep understanding of industry dynamics as well as the specific competitive situation nationally and globally. Developing industries such as risky energy extraction, toxic waste storage or pollutive manufacturing for the sake of economic development will create a trend that characterizes Utah and draws more of the same. In full agreement and support of supplying a prepared workforce to meet Utah’s industry needs is the Utah Department of Workforce Services. Brent Newren, service area director for the DWS talks about its Labor Statistics Report. “It provides critical labor market information that reaches down the pipeline so employers can see where labor trends are going so they are prepared to staff their companies,” Brent continues, “We feel that Workforce Services is a key player in economic development. We can give information to the emerging workforce to help them determine what industries they should be looking at that are growing. That’s what our employment counselors provide for our individuals.” And on the education side of things, “Our major universities and colleges are constantly trying to develop and forecast what the needs are of employers out there and with that in mind, we partner with curriculum development. We want to make sure that Utah is on the cutting edge of being able to have a well-prepared workforce to meet industry needs. And that’s our challenge at Workforce Services.” Bryan Kessinger, workforce development specialist for the DWS tells of an ideal example of how the DWS provided a solution between education and employers through a now discontinued internship program. He worked with Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) and Park City Television (PCTV), and applied what, at the time, was a grant to help supplement paid internships. PCTV had a great need for additional help during the Sundance Film Festival held in Park City annually. And SLCC provided eight interns to PCTV which allowed the station to provide its viewers exceptional coverage of the festival while eight individuals learned volumes through the rich learning experience. “We creatively put together programs with grants, internships, special training around an industry to help job creation and industry support. We are always forecasting in
order to identify needs and when we identify needs, we meet those needs,” says Bryan. One industry of interest and focus for Bryan is the film industry which fits into not only the Utah Film Commission as a partner in economic development but also the IT cluster. “We want to make sure we have the workforce to support this emerging market. It enhances what Utah can offer to the film industry. We want to break that myth that there are no film industry jobs in Utah—that in order to have a vibrant film career you have to live in Los Angeles.” Hindsight is 2020 and apparently so is Prosperity. Adding another layer of measurable goals towards Utah’s “enduring prosperity” is Prosperity 2020, “to advance educational investment and innovation. Our vision is that Utah’s educated and trained workforce will propel Utah to enduring prosperity, improved quality of life and the strongest economy in the nation,” as taken from prosperity2020. com. The goal is for 90 percent of elementary students to achieve math and reading proficiency and two-thirds of Utahns to achieve post-secondary training by 2020. Utah Science Technology and Research Initiative (USTAR) founded in 2006 via Senate
Bill 75, is a funding source to the University of Utah and Utah State University to recruit world-class researchers and build state-ofthe-art interdisciplinary research and development facilities leading to commercialization. The initiative seeks to generate more technology-based start-up firms, higher paying jobs, and additional business activity leading to a state-wide expansion of Utah’s tax base, while populating two local universities with world-class researchers and research projects in the areas of: Energy, Biomedical Technology, Brain Medicine, Nanotechnology, Imaging Technology and Digital Media.
C o r p o r at e T h o u g h t L e a d e rs Molonai Hola, president of Pacific Pure Energy, also believes that Utah must take very seriously the development of a workforce in alignment with GOED’s Clusters. There is responsibility when recruiting a company within the Cluster to build support for that one core industry. Delivering a valid workforce is the first step of creating synergy. “There has to be communication between the private market and what the Universities are teaching,” he says and explains that there is value in communicating with students about emerging industries and where the local job market is headed so students can make choices about
education that serve them optimally. He also believes in robust internship programs alongside education programs that prepare students for immediate employment upon graduation. Jeff Edwards, president and CEO of edcUtah and a close working partner with GOED says, “The number-one reason that companies are choosing Utah is for our workforce. They like the high level of education that people have here, the strong work ethic and reliability and loyalty of Utah workers. We hear time and again from companies in all sectors of the economy that their Utah operations are the most productive. This tells us that overall Utah workers are getting a good enough education now to fit the workforce. That reputation is out there as seen by the national rankings Utah is getting and the record number of inquiries we have in our office from businesses of all types. “However, there are many companies who tell us that they have vacancies in engineering and technician jobs. It seems that they can’t find the workers in Utah with the skill sets they need. Part of this is due to the rapidly changing needs of today’s business world, where U.S. workers are competing every day with workers all over the world and in industries where technology is moving so

quickly that it sometimes makes the things students learn obsolete by the time they enter the workforce. This is not a problem that is unique to Utah by the way, as it is present all over the U.S. We are fortunate to have a big supply of new workers coming into the workforce because of our young and growing population but it’s a huge challenge to provide the education they need to be ready to work at a competitive level. “Workforce alignment is much talked about here and elsewhere and I think is being tackled by groups like Prosperity 2020 and the Governor’s Office.

Keeping focus on the creative arts end of the spectrum, two schools have crafted largescale education programs based on the emerging digital arts industry that tie into the GOED IT Cluster.

We queried Alison McFarlane, assistant vice president, Marketing and Communications for Salt Lake Community College, Bob Trewartha, communication and community relations specialist for Broadview University/BEAU, Robert Avery, professor and former chair of the Department of Communication in the College of Humanities of the University of Utah and Gary Daynes, vice president for Strategic Outreach and Enrollment for Westminster College.

riculum offered through SLCC’s School of Arts, Communication and New Media. The 140,000foot new construction is located on the South City Campus and is targeted to open late in 2013. There is a specially formulated set of programs and curriculum that prepares a workforce to fill the immediate need in the gaming, visual effects and technology industry. Alison McFarlane says, “We work with industry to make sure we meet the emerging workforce needs. The creative arts industry is one we are focused on. We received the Digital Arts Grant from the Division of Labor and in nearly two years, we have built a lot of curriculum and we did a very big push to get students enrolled. We have almost 500 students that are in the Digital Arts program based on the grant. And as part of that grant, we are also engaged in student placement through internships and employment. In consideration of other GOED Clusters, we are doing an awful lot in energy management.” Alison conveys that SLCC is sensitive to the criteria of a balanced education with regard to the nature of the student body. “There is a very well-rounded level of education. No matter how specific the education curriculum, the students are still learning business skills, communication skills, critical thinking, analysis—the skills that everybody wants in an employee. “Our average student is 26 years old. A large number of our students are raising families, so for many community college students, that idea of getting their skills, getting that certificate to either advance their career or start in a career where they have some sort of upward mobility, for some of them, the time issue is
focus on development, current industry data, feedback from business leaders and student interest levels. One, is there a legitimate lifespan of employment? Two, are there already ample programs in existence? Three, is there interest from a student population? The brass at Globe, its program developers and advisory boards agreed that there was room for BEAU which, according to Bob, “The dedicated location creates an environment for the students to both explore their artistic side and to collaborate with other disciplines— music, video, gaming and observe human development in a number of areas.” Robert Avery recognizes that there is no shortage of wonderful educational programs in Utah. With regard to what his own department offers, he says, “We have always emphasized that we are in the process of preparing the communication leaders of tomorrow. These are the people who are going to be in charge of the corporations, running the marketing firms, those individuals who have a commitment to the important issues of social justice, world peace—it’s big picture stuff. We work with students and meet them where their interests lie and invite them to catch the vision of a better world and the way they can contribute to making it so.” Robert remembers as an assistant professor in 1972 when the Department of Communication was created from the merger of the former departments of Journalism and Speech Communication. The result was a fully integrated and comprehensive academic unit that was a “bold and imaginative step at that time.” Having brought together all facets of
the communication spectrum, e.g mass media, new media, public relations, speech, organizational and interpersonal, puts, for example, the abc’s of television production in a much broader context that plays out in the integrated synergistic whole. With the University of Utah being recognized nationally for its research in nearly every college, Robert gives his Communication Department high scores for infusing the student experience with the front-line exposure to research skills that are used to discover, compile and present cutting-edge knowledge. “It’s a prowess of intellectual maturity in which students are actively engaged. They pick up on the value-added benefits of being part of a major research institution.” Gary Daynes teams with the program development/refinement team and inquires into the skills, habits, ways of thinking and behaving that employers desire. He says, “Once we have the set of outcomes in mind then based on feedback from the field, and our own expertise from our faculty, we build the curriculum backwards. So if we know that students need to develop, for example, the ability to think strategically about communicating, we build a curriculum that gives them many opportunities to practice those skills and to strengthen those skills and to have those skills critiqued throughout the curriculum. “So as opposed to just segmenting it off to one course or in one set of lectures in one course, we weave those outcomes throughout our curriculum. According to Gary, the enrollees of Westminster’s graduate programs are typically work-
ing adults who want to acquire education in order to develop leadership activities and skills to ultimately move up in their organization, to create meaningful change within their organization or to start new organizations. In essence, “That’s the niche for Westminster College’s masters degree programs—working professionals who are interested in updating their careers and really becoming leaders in their careers and organizations,” says Gary. With regard to the newest program enrolling for 2013, the Masters of Strategic Communication gives ultimate flexibility to the working professional with an online learning structure. It also opens the program to a regional audience.
pressed by Alison, Bob, Robert and Gary. Gary summarizes two attributes to critical thinking. “As we all know, you don’t have just one career for your whole life. So you can develop a set of skills or an understanding of your discipline and graduate and you move right in and work in that field. Then in a couple of years, the field is different, your job is different, you’ve changed to a different company. If you don’t have a broad set of skills like critical thinking, the ability to communicate effectively, to lead well and to be an ethical human being, then you’re not going to be able to shift with the opportunities and the challenges that come up in the modern economy. So that’s one reason.
The undergraduates at Westminster are students in their late teens and early twenties. “Students who enroll in the undergraduate programs at Westminster are almost always attracted by two things. First, the deep relationships that get built here between students and faculty; and secondarily, by the way that those relationships lead to the sort of powerful learning that gives them a very high-quality educational experience. It gives students the skills to respond quickly in the workforce, to be active citizens; to be thoughtful participants in their communities.”
“The second reason is that higher education is not just about developing a workforce, though it is certainly about that. It’s about helping people become who they want to become and helping them become people who can contribute to the well-being of their communities. So if you think about the people you want to work with, who you want to live by, who you want to see run for office, with whom you’d like to serve side by side, it’s certainly people who know things about their field but even more, it’s people who can think critically, who do communicate well, who are deeply committed to the well being of their community and their neighbors and their civic life.
va l u e o f c r i t i c a l t h i n k i n g Critical thinking is a common theme throughout the descriptions of educational programs described in this editorial. A balance between honed, articulate vocational skills and creating elegance to the individual’s acclimation to the workplace, to society, to the world, to the human experience is the aim as has been ex-
“So if you graduate only with an understanding of a discipline, no matter how bright you are, you’re not well suited to succeed in the economy or to make contributions to your community that ultimately make you a happy and fulfilled human being.”

Sidebar: Extracted from HCA Online, 27/09/12, “Australia facing a talent deficit by 2021” Profound market shifts will impact the supply and demand for skilled talent over the next decade. Technology is fueling demand for highly skilled workers worldwide while emerging economies are increasing their supply of talent through greater access to education. Australia, like many other developed economies such as the UK, US, Canada and Japan, shows a strong trend towards a talent deficit by 2021. India is showing the strongest trend towards a talent surplus, along with such nations as Indonesia, Colombia, South Africa and Brazil. China, however, occupies the middle ground with demand and supply of talent in balance. Other emerging markets that will see above-average growth in required staff are Latin America (13.4%), the Middle East and Africa (13.2%) and Eastern Europe (10.5%). Employment demand in Western Europe, by contrast, is projected to grow a rather modest 3.5%. When looking at industries such as business services, energy, travel and transport, and life sciences, staffing levels will actually decline. Somewhat stronger job growth is expected in North America, where surveyed executives expect overall employment to rise 6.1% over the next three years. Other findings include: Business transformation requires new skills. The vast majority of companies are engaging in transformation initiatives to rethink their global strategies, business models and organisational approaches. This transformation also requires a repositioning of employee skill sets across all levels of seniority. Digital knowledge, agile thinking, interpersonal and communication skills, and global operating capabilities will be talent areas in high demand over the next five to 10 years. Companies will need to address the talent mismatch. In the developed world, where talent shortages in a number of managerial and technical fields are expected to persist, companies will be forced to think more explicitly about the trade-offs among outsourcing work, offshoring staff and retraining workers. 3Q 2012

208-unit upscale apartment community to be built in SLC By Barbara Rattle The Enterprise A 208-unit upscale apartment community targeting the Generation Y demographic should begin coming out of the ground in Salt Lake City next spring. The $28 million Element 31 will be located on what is now the site of a 30-year-old parking deck that abuts the seven-story Brickyard office building at 1245 E. Brickyard Road, said Ryan Ritchie, a partner in the developing entity, Salt Lake City-based The Ritchie Group. “We realized we were going to throw away a million dollars just to repair the parking deck, and happened to be looking for additional apartment sites,” he said. “Just by chance we looked at our site and noticed our zoning allows office and residential to be located on the same site. It’s a
forward-thinking zone for urban infill.” A new parking deck will feature three stories, one-and-ahalf of them below grade. It will be shared by both the apartment dwellers and the office building tenants. Atop it will be a four-story apartment complex consisting of about 34 studios and 80 twobedroom units; the balance will offer one bedroom. The average size will be around 815 square feet and cost roughly $1,000 to rent, Ritchie said. “We’re focusing on the Generation Y market,” he said. “Our marketing study suggests that about 60 percent [of tenants] will be single females, so we really focused on Internet bandwidth and on security, with cameras and lighting. It will have an urban contemporary look” both inside see ELEMENT page 2

By Brice Wallace The Enterprise A legislative committee will try once more to get some tax relief for about 30,000 of Utah’s small businesses. A bill passed out of the Revenue and Taxation Interim Committee last week would increase the threshold for the business personal property tax exemption, which is essentially for furniture and equipment. Current law has the exemption at about $3,500, but the bill passed out by the committee would exempt property with a current market value of $10,000 or less. A committee bill last year had the exemption point at $25,000, which would have benefitted 80,000 small-business owners in the state. It later was reduced to
$15,000 and ultimately was at $10,000 before the bill stalled in the Senate on the final night of the most recent general session. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Patrick Painter, R-Nephi and committee co-chairman, said the bill would result in “less of a minutiae burden on the small-business owner.” “What I’m trying to do here is get a little relief for the smallbusiness guy, for the small contractor, the roofer, the plumber, the small shop owner,” Painter said. “If I can make his life easier and give him a little bit of respite from having to fill out paperwork, having to go through the audits, having him spend his time [on this], I think we’ve done a good thing. I think we’ve made his life

MAYORAL CANDIDATES’ OWN QUESTIONS LEAD TO POLITICAL SPARKS
BY MCKENZIE ROMERO
SALT LAKE CITY — Contenders in the Salt Lake County mayoral race faced off in a debate Friday morning, but sparks didn’t fly until Republican Mark Crockett and Democrat Ben McAdams were allowed to ask each other questions. McAdams asked Crockett whether he is willing to work cooperatively across the aisle, insinuating that the former
Salt Lake County Council member has a history of “making people upset.” Crockett said McAdams was not fairly representing his reputation and said McAdams has no history of working with taxpayers. “The only people who are in the room when you’re having those conversations and when you’re all getting along are other politicians,” Crockett said. “There’s one person who’s missing in that meeting every time, and that’s the taxpayer.” Crockett countered: “What have you ever actually led?” McAdams rattled off a list of his experiences, including

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert and challenger Peter Cooke share a laugh before their debate in Salt Lake City Friday.
SALT LAKE CITY — Two very different pictures of Utah emerged Friday from the first debate between GOP Gov. Gary Herbert and his Democratic challenger, Peter Cooke, held at the annual Utah League of Cities and Towns convention. Cooke called for an overhaul of the state’s economic development efforts, citing what he called “brutal facts,” including that Utah wages are falling at one of the fastest rates in the nation while the state has dropped from second to 10th in the nation in job creation. “I think it’s horrible for you to sit here
SALT LAKE CITY — Groundwater contamination from an old drycleaning operation at the veterans hospital is under consideration for Superfund status by the Environmental Protection Agency, a designation that would accelerate cleanup. The 700 South/1600 East PCE Plume site is located near the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center on the east side of Salt Lake City. The preliminary investigation area is bounded on the west side by 900 East, on the north at 500 South, on the east at 1600 East and on the south by Yale Avenue. Ryan Dunham, the EPA’s site assessment manager, said the full extent of the plume’s size won’t be known until more testing is done at the area. At this point, the agency believes it to be anywhere between 200 acres and 300 acres. The groundwater plume was first discovered in 1990 during routine sampling of the Mount Olivet Cemetery irrigation well. It contains tetrachloroethylene, or PCE, at levels that are above federal drinking water standards. Sampling done two years ago by Salt Lake City probing water quality of natural springs also indicated levels of PCE. “We are very concerned about the potential impacts of this groundwater plume on our community,” Mayor Ralph Becker said. “Salt Lake City is committed to working with local, state and federal agencies to ensure the health and well-being of
