A 16-year veteran of television and video production, Jim effectively delivers high production value, while maintaining the branding strategy of the client. 

Starting his career in long format feature documentaries for PBS, where he learned the dramatic effects of lighting and composition, Jim's primary skills were as Director of Photography for the award winning show, Colores

Jim's move to the commercial industry taught him the value of the directed message, where he DP'd with such clients as Fiesta Bowl, Whataburger, Dial, Viad, Xerox, LPGA, as well as network programming outlets such as MSNBC, Entertainment Tonight, A Current Affair, Comedy Central, and ESPN.

Jim then moved to the broadcast field at ABC's local Phoenix affiliate, KNXV, as the Director of Photography for the morning magazine show, Sonoran Living, learning the value of developing content driven entertainment.  While at ABC-KNXV, Jim also worked with HGTV, ABC's Primetime, and directed many primetime specials for the station.

Lainie Triplett

As a Producer/Editor, Lainie is able to both create and execute high quality video projects while incorporating a client's strategic branding initiative.

Lainie Triplett began her career in television production 10 years ago with the award winning news team at KNXV, ABC Network's affiliate in Phoenix, Arizona.  She has worked both local and national news events including two Presidential elections, live town halls, prime time specials, and around the clock coverage of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Her 5 years in broadcast news helped Lainie to develop high production standards, a sound sense of timing and good story telling instincts.

In 2005 as a freelancer, she spilt her time between Arizona Highways Television and PBS' Small Business Partnership. In the Post-production department at Arizona Highways Television, Lainie discovered her love of editing. She was part of the editing team that helped produce multiple Emmy winning episodes.

At the same time, Lainie helped develop the Small Business Partnership program at the PBS affiliate in Phoenix. It is here that Lainie developed her sense of branding and marketing.

Next, she joined the team of JimmyKristie Productions, a television production company whose success was built around the nationally syndicated television show, The Carefree Gardener. Lainie's editing and technical skills came into play when she was chosen as the post-production supervisor of Life Designs, a family themed craft and activity show produced for national syndication. Life Designs was developed as a marketing tool for a JimmyKristie client, so Lainie was responsible not only for delivering a show with high broadcast standards, but also one which maintained the branding strategy of the client.

In 2008, she and her long time colleague, Jim Hartman, created Blended Media Video Productions.

As co-owner of Blended Media Video Productions, Lainie brings to the table all those years of successful production experience and client brand awareness. Currently she oversees the post-production of Hair Loss Confidential, an intervention-style, reality makeover show. This unscripted program is the cornerstone of a massive marketing campaign by an organization of hair loss specialists from around the country and is a vital part of this industry's image overhaul within the national marketplace.

She continues to work with clients big and small to help them get the most out of their video projects.
