Welcome Back with Canopy
It has been too long my friends. While tempting to think I hit the lotto and ran off to a comfy life near the sea, in actuality I embarked on another new product adventure. Upon earning an Apple MFI (Made For iPhone) license from Apple for this product idea, I set out to form a new company, raise capital, build the brand while developing the product. This is not a Kickstarter play…..rather accomplished old school with investors, Corporate Bylaws, business partners, three-up checks, the whole shooting match.
With great pleasure, I introduce Canopy – a brand of innovative accessories for today’s mobile technologies. Canopy’s products span from stylish protective iPhone cases, to software integrated Kapok and Jumba cases alongside a unique iPhone app. – the Canopy Camera Tools app, which takes advantage of the Kapok case’s point and shout functionality, and include such features as time-lapse, focus and exposure control, social media sharing, and a bubble level that allows people to capture life like never before on an iPhone.
To view all of these and more, and for more information about all of the company’s products, including the Abuta and Plano cases, visit www.canopyco.com and www.facebook.com/canopy. Gosh it is good to be back!

Chase Jarvis Impresses Again
Chase Jarvis recently showcased the fun he & his talented support teams have been having with the Humble Monkey 360 T-2 Camera Truck. This behind the scenes footage shows the Camera Truck deployed with both HD-DSLR and a RED One Cinema rig. Great footage Chase! Way to let the “good shots roll”.
Fair Use Explained
National Public Radio’s Saturday Edition show broadcast a story examining the fine line between Fair Use and flat out copyright infringement. The five minute report by Joel Rose can be heard here.
Art & Copy – A Film By Doug Pray
Art & Copy is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. The creative is directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, SCRATCH, HYPE!) and explores some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time such as George Lois, Mary Wells, Dan Wieden, Lee Clow and Hal Riney.
“What’s different and perhaps surprising about this movie, is that it isn’t about bad advertising, that 98% which so often annoys and disrespects its audience. I didn’t want to make a doc that just trashes trashy advertising. Too easy, too obvious, and why bother? Instead, granted access to a handful of the greatest advertising minds of the last fifty years, I felt it could be a more powerful statement to focus the film only on those rare few who actually moved and inspired our culture with their work. And that higher standard made me want to make a film that reflected the same kind of disciplined artistic approach that my subjects used.” – Doug Pray
Art & Copy is currently viewing at the Oak Street Cinema in Minneapolis on Thursday, November 5th at 7pm. It will also be coming soon to the St. Anthony Main Theatre in Minneapolis although they do not specify when on their web page.
