We may have a huge wall in our studio dedicated to green screening items, but sometimes it’s best to have a mini studio right next to your desk, especially when you’re shooting miniature items.  It may be shabby, but it gets the job done!

This week marked Romney’s first day as an official JibJab employee (he had interned with us over the summer) and the man stepped his game up a notch and came in to the office sporting a look that was much more business than casual. You successfully put our tattered jeans and graphic tees to shame…

Sammie, the office pug, is known for many things around the office… there’s his friendly nature, his wheezing excited grunts and of course his fondness for knocking over trashcans to feast on whatever he finds.
