Super Bowl Halftime Show Perfected at M3 Studios!!
The 54th annual super bowl was a nail-biting game and included performances that got you off your couch. But, I want to tell you how M3 studios played a huge part in this year’s Super Bowl.
Remember that iconic halftime show with Shakira and Jennifer Lopez that was rehearsed right here in one of our sound stages. And not only that but “The game before the game” Xbox live event streamed right here in one of the other sound stages.
M3 Studios
This was a huge achievement for M3 studios. For such a big institution with such history as the NFL to have chosen M3 Studios for their halftime rehearsals was truly amazing. It caused our M3 team to take a step back and recognize that we’re not just a studio for musical artists or a studio for your photoshoot but, we are something bigger.
A major organization put its trust in M3 Studios to help them with such a primary part in America’s all-time favorite halftime show. Legends came here and made their mark in our studio and that’s pretty awesome.
We have always said that M3 Studios can take care of your production no matter how small or large the production is, and this moment defines that saying.
It was truly an honor to have the NFL and the icons themselves choose M3 Studios for their halftime rehearsal. Not only this but the fact that the super bowl was held right here in Miami and the fact that it highlighted so many cultural aspects of Miami. From the food, music, dances, and especially the variety that makes up Miami.
It was amazing to see such an Americanized game embrace all the diversity that Miami has to offer.
Now you can truly trust us when we say we are the studio for you if you wanna take it global or keep it local we do both and sometimes, like the with Super Bowl, we keep it local and take it global.
Xbox Live Event
At the Xbox live event The San Francisco 49ers cornerback, Richard Sherman, beat Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in a game of Madden NFL 2o. Richard Sherman won 50 Xbox consoles for his charity, the Blanket Coverage Foundation.
Super Bowl was a big stress on both Sherman and Kelce, so this game before the game event allowed them to relax and have some laughs together on their day off.
After Kelces lost he went on to say “It was a blast… to hang out with Richard Sherman you know he’s a pro and pro gets, he’s as real as they come out here.” And Sherman responded with “It was cool to be able to hang out with Trav and get some good laughs and just relax on your day off.”
Super Bowl Halftime Show
Not only did Shakira and Jennifer Lopez start practicing back in early January, and also their bands. For the rehearsal, they had around 10 beautiful glass mirrors surrounding the stage, the floor covered in glossy mats, and a lot but like a lot of dancers. They had about over 50 dancers and well, of course, the icons themselves.
It was truly a pleasure having them and their entire team here at M3 Studios. From the production staff, the technical crew, the band, the dancers, and the icons themselves. We are so glad that we have created such a creative and secure environment for any type of production no matter ho big or how small, at M3 Studios we got you covered!!

It took us a lot of work and patience but, it is finally complete. We wanted to start our time consuming renovation process by batteling the exterior first. With over 20 men working on various sections at a time, filling in cracks, sanding down, priming, and finally painting it took us a very long time to get the exterior to where it is now. We also added a glass ceiling to our outside patio area, and it took over 6 men to put up one glass at a time to make sure it didn’t crack. Lets just say, the panic attacks are finally done. After the construction and fixing was done we called in some local artist to finish up the job. They did such an amazing job adding mesmerizing murals to the once blank canvas. 
3 CYC walls, green screen studios, 6 editing bays, rehearsal space, event areas, and so much more. We’re talking about 122,000 Sq. Ft. of state-of-the-art studios, we can assure you that no production is too big or too small for M3.
impossible to sustain a good living that comes from their art; nonetheless, you will be amazed by how successful this industry is when you know how to play your cards. Artist Rene Magritte once said, “Life obliges me to do something, so I paint.”. The art consists of a diverse range of human activities that can go from painting or sculpting to acting or dancing, despite which form of art fits you better, you can develop substantial sources of income out of it. 
this process is defined as the right to use a legally protected property in an agreement with a product, promotion, or services; regularly, the market pays between 4% to 30% in royalties to the artist for every print sold and a small percentage on their framing. The great thing about Licensing is that it is a continual, residual income builder that help to fill in the gaps when art sales are at a low rate. There are endless possibilities of products that can be licensed; as an artist, you have the potential to create your own brand and offer more than your prints, but everything from collectibles, home decor, or whatever that can cross your mind. 
Companies are looking for themes or patterns that they can use over several of their products; therefore, divide your work into sets so you can have different products to offer. Besides expanding your brand you also need to protect it; read books, websites and blogs about how artists can license their art, this knowledge will help you negotiate your rates and protect your rights; define what your goals are and who you are selling to, this will determine what product you want to launch and which companies you want to work with; let these companies know you exist, write them a meaningful letter describing your work and your interests, show them how they can benefit from your work; create a list of those companies you have contacted and those you want to contact; create a portfolio to showcase your art and how it can fit with different products; follow up with your proposals, give them a follow up email after two weeks to a month, considering that they might be too busy; connect with the right people, use social media to interact not only with friends but also with possible clients. 
This form of intellectual property provides artists the original works of authorship, which includes literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and other creative works. It doesn’t matter where you place your art, as long you are not destroying any property, you have ownership over your work, and you have the right to protect it. Graffiti is a great example of this matter; even though street art is an illicit form of public art, it perfectly fits within the law of copywriting because it has a modicum of creativity, and can be fixed into any 
tangible medium of expression. Miami’s Wynwood district has become a hotspot for street art where everybody takes pictures of beautiful walls; however, many photographers, journalists, and bloggers wonder if they are exposing themselves to liabilities when they photograph these street arts, but why? Truth is that everything depends on what you do with the pictures you took or the purpose of those pictures; there would not be any inconvenience if you took pictures of the art for personal purposes; nonetheless, if you took them for commercial purposes, as photographers, journalists, and bloggers could; then, you should have to pay royalties for using those artworks photographs, if you don’t, the authors of these artwork pieces have the right to sue you. 
an eight-time Emmy nominated set decorator who designed Home Again. “It really is.” Finding the right artwork with legal clearance to appear on the screen can be a real challenge. Art Clearance has become increasingly critical over the past years, making film studios and artists take this matter seriously. Under the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 (an extension of the Copyright Act of 1976), artworks generally enter the public domain 70 years after an artist’s death, which means that the owner of the artwork retains the rights to the display and use of their work until that time. Before any artwork is used on films, videos, or TV shows it needs to be cleared, which means that it needs to get the copyrighted approval from the owner of the artwork, rather artists, galleries, estates, etc. As expected, artists want to get paid for their work, and studios want to pay a price that fits within the budget. One way to make things easier is to work with art rental companies, or art galleries, as mentioned before in this blog, due to the fact that they work as an intermediary that protect both, the artist and the studio, from copyright-related lawsuits; hence it is not mandatory to work with these agencies, they surely help along the way of getting your art on TV and film, making sure that it is cleared. 
Artwork plays an extremely important place when designing the set, everything you see on film was carefully composed to affect your watching experience subconsciously. Filmmakers use color to set the tone of a scene, to make the audience feel, to show a character’s journey, or to communicate a film’s ideas. Red is used to express power, passion, anger, love, or danger; pink denotes innocence, sweetness, femininity, empathy, or beauty; orange is associated with sociability, friendliness, happiness, youth, or exoticness; yellow signifies madness, sickness, insecurity, obsessiveness, or naive; green represents nature, darkness, immaturity, corruption, danger, or ominous; blue symbolizes cold, isolation, melancholy, calm, or passivity; and purple communicates fantasy, erotism, ominous, mystical, illusion, or ethereal. Besides playing with your mind on purpose, filmmakers also play with their budget; all this color use not only helps to create the perfect tone for a scene, it actually help filmmakers reduce cost by not having to build out everything needed to bring a whole scene to life. 
As mentioned before, getting all the copyrighted permits is an art by itself; sometimes is easier and cheaper to make the set designer paint something that fits within what the scene would be even though it will have a different look and feel of a genuine piece of art might have; other times art is already there, for example, when shooting in exterior locations such as luxury condos, buildings, famous streets, woods, etc; some areas let you shoot in there in exchange for credits in the movie, others are free permits, but most of them can cost thousands of dollars a day to shoot in.
Movies are often considered a form of art; they are the product of arranging symbolic elements in a way that influences senses, and emotions; from within they are a combination of different branches of art such as music, literacy, drama, sculpting, and panting. Using artwork in films can help reduce the cost for productions as set designers have less to dress up on set; additionally, helps directors to better capture a scene by making it true to life; this practice is also an outstanding way to inform the audience about who or what the character is like, whether it’s fine art, graffiti, or abstract art, the use of artwork in films is a win for artists and entertainment professionals, as they both help in affecting the audience emotions. 
better with the production is important to consider factors such as the type and subject of the film and the experience behind the cast and crew involved in the project. It is common to use crowdfunding platforms to raise money or to secure increasingly elusive government grants for short films. In fact, “the most beneficial situation for the filmmaker would be to receive 100% of the film costs from an equity sale in exchange for substantially less than 100% of the income” in a range of 25-50% according to “The Independent Filmmaker’s Law and Business Guide: Financing, Shooting, and Distributing Independent and Digital Films”. Even though filmmaking should be commercially viable without the need for public funding, is important to remember that people or organizations invest in the films to make profits out of them; therefore film budgets need to stand the scrutiny of investors seeking cost-effective production, as well as a reasonable rate of return.
Additionally, the affordability of making films on digital media has increased competition. Several filmmakers fear bankruptcy; however, the challenge to filmmakers is to make unique genre-specific movies using digital technology. The genre is the only way that a film buyer and the marketing manager of a distribution company can quickly visualize the movie poster, trailer, and marketing campaign. The industry is changing into a more consumer-centric one, nowadays consumers can enjoy podcasts, web shows, and can access them by downloading or streaming the product. It is important to focus on the benefits that the digital revolution has brought such as worldwide distribution and instant access to the final product. 
additionally, the gaming industry, which breeds on digital technology, has been influencing storytelling in the film industry. In fact, the incorporation of gaming techniques in terms of storytelling and visualization will make movies stronger; it is mandatory for independent film studios to focus their efforts on unique storytelling, these new ideas will stand out more than they have in the past.
A low budget makes people assume multiple roles in order for a film to be produced at the lowest cost possible, as director Benjamin Dickinson said: The biggest challenge that I had making the film was just that I was wearing too many hats. This de-emphasis on specialization means individuals are less likely to develop the specialized skills that Hollywood and large film agencies demand. Ultimately, it is a hit or a miss, depending on the director’s ability to wear multiple hats.
Nowadays, we have more access to data than ever before that can help filmmakers to understand the audience they are trying to reach, and create not only awareness but stronger loyalty and engagement for the long term; unfortunately, filmmakers are not collecting and analyzing efficiently their data. As an example, ‘Paranormal Activity’ may have cost a mere $15,000 to make. What Paramount bought was not the film, but the social media strategy that the filmmaker Orin Pelli developed around his film.
audiences due to the fact that there are too many films being made. At a movie theater, independent films face several challenges more than a regular film. First, they need to put in the effort of distinguishing themselves from the other independent films that are opening at the same time. Secondly, they need to invest in identifying their audience efficient. And thirdly, they need to be worthy for the audience that will pay for the ticket. Independent filmmakers are beginning to explore Video On Demand (VOD) as a distribution method. Thus it allows filmmakers to reach larger audiences with relative ease, streaming services don’t provide nearly the same return as physical sales of DVDs; therefore, many independent filmmakers fear that this technology may lead them to go bankrupt if they are not able to attract the same volume as larger Hollywood films that garner millions of viewer. To overcome this issue, independent filmmakers often develop a
