It was a big year<\/strong> for PremiumBeat’s blog. We wrote a ton of articles in 2016 \u2014 445 including this one<\/em>. We gave away hundreds of\u00a0free elements, project files, a\u00a0filmmaking book<\/a>, and even added a Free Downloads\u00a0category<\/a>\u00a0for you to find them all. The Beat<\/em>\u00a0also increased our full-time writing staff<\/strong> and brought in some great new contributors<\/strong> from across the globe. And that’s just on the blog side!<\/p>\n

We can’t forget to mention all the high-quality new royalty free tracks<\/a> and 100,000+ new SFX<\/a> on the audio side of things. Our music team made major strides in curating more<\/strong>\u00a0world-class songs<\/strong>, including the new Independent Collection<\/a>. Plus, with you<\/strong> in mind, we simplified our licensing<\/a>\u00a0and now include loops<\/strong> and short versions<\/strong> with every purchase.<\/p>\n

We promise 2017 will be even bigger \u2014\u00a0we have some massive projects in the works <\/strong>\u2014 but for\u00a0now, let’s look back at some of the highlights of 2016<\/strong>.

          Best of The Beat: Staff Picks<\/h3>\n

          \"The<\/p>\n

          To finish up the list, we asked our blog staff to pick\u00a0the articles they enjoyed writing the most<\/strong>. Here’s what they had to say about their personal favorites.<\/p>\n

          Caleb Ward:<\/strong>\u00a020 Pieces of Film Gear You Can Print With a 3D Printer<\/a><\/h3>\n

          “It seems like everyday there’s a new product that says it’s going to ‘change’ the film industry, but few innovations actually live up to the hype. I think that 3D printing is the future of film and video production.<\/strong> Gone are the days of buying gear and adapters online.”<\/p>\n

          Jourdan Aldredge:<\/strong>\u00a0The Science Behind 4k Restorations of Classic Films<\/a><\/h3>\n

          “This was an interesting article to research and explore. It\u2019s really a fascinating process and, in itself, a great way to learn how films are captured, restored and digitized<\/strong> so they can be preserved for future generations to watch and enjoy.”<\/p>\n

          Lewis McGregor:<\/strong>\u00a0How Focal Length Alters the Psychological Impact of Your Images<\/a><\/h3>\n

          “I\u2019m a huge advocate of exploring how various visual properties provoke different emotions<\/strong>. Focal lengths are prime for this topic. A quick switch from a wide-angle to a telephoto can give your image an entirely new meaning.”<\/p>\n

          Logan Baker:<\/strong>\u00a0Cinematographers Who Establish an Instantly Recognizable Look<\/a><\/h3>\n

          “Researching the ins and outs of the work of major cinematographers was not only eye-opening, but motivational to me as a filmmaker, demonstrating the importance of finding your own vision.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

          Michael Maher:<\/strong>\u00a0The Media Machine Behind the Dallas Stars<\/a><\/h3>\n

          “As a hockey nut and Dallas Stars fan, getting to spend a whole day following the team and video crew was a blast<\/strong>. This was an experimental piece unlike the content you’d typically find on PremiumBeat, and its success allowed us to go behind the scenes in other industries \u2014 like visiting Atomic Fiction’s VFX house in Montreal<\/a>\u00a0and interviewing the robotics crew behind Microsoft’s Surface Pro commercial<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

          \n

          And so we say goodbye to 2016 \u2014\u00a0but not before offering our heartfelt thanks to YOU<\/strong>, the faithful readers and loyal customers who make all of this possible. Sound off in the comments with your favorite articles, any feedback, or anything you’d like to see in 2017!<\/p>\n

          Oh, and since you made the effort to\u00a0read all the way down to here, we’ve got a<\/strong> little treat for you<\/strong> as a token of our gratitude.<\/p>\n

          Send Michael Maher an email (mmaher@premiumbeat.com<\/strong>)\u00a0<\/strong>with your name<\/strong> and physical mailing address\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<\/strong>you’ll receive a free PremiumBeat sticker<\/strong>. He’ll keep sending them until we run out!<\/p>\n

          Thanks again. <3
