2010 Inertia Films Demo
In March 1993 Troy Thomas founded Inertia Films on a dining room table in Cincinnati, Ohio. Work in the early years was provided by many corporate clients like Procter & Gamble, and daily news magazine programs including Inside Edition, American Journal, Entertainment Tonight, and Extra.
Inertia Films grew in visibility after landing a two and a half year project shooting the reality-based program Real Stories of the Highway Patrol. It was during this time, 1994-96, that Thomas learned what it really took to produce a nationally distributed television show. Other reality show credits now include American Idol, Dance Fever, Design Intervention, and Married By America.
September 1996 saw Thomas move the Inertia Films' headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia to leverage the post-Olympic boom that the city was experiencing. It was a time of additional Betacam purchases and the company's first Arriflex 16 mm camera.
In 1999 Inertia Films added their first digital, post-production suite to facilitate in-house projects. This business later grew to include outside post as well. Inertia Films most critically acclaimed original project to date is their television series entitled: Testimony: Profiles in Faith. The program has garnered 34 awards in various film festivals and video competitions. Year 2000 brought Inertia's first DVCam camera package. The format continues to be popular with corporate clients and ministries for both field production and post production.
Calendar year 2003 brought Inertia Films a Southeast Regional Emmy Award for our camera work on Forgiven for Life, the life story of David Berkowitz formerly known as the Son of Sam. Forgiven for Life was also nominated for a Southeast Regional Emmy Award that same year.
2003 marked a watershed event for Inertia Films as well. In June, Thomas realized a life-long dream by finally moving his company into their new production facility near downtown Atlanta. The facility includes two digital post-production suites, production offices and a 900 sq. ft. studio with hard cyc. The building includes a 2,160 sq. ft. rooftop deck with a partial view of downtown Atlanta. The facility has added to the on-going revitalization of Atlanta's Historic Old Fourth Ward district.
The year 2006 marked Inertia Films' initial investment in a high definition camera package. Inertia's addition of the Panasonic AJ-HDX900 HD camera, shooting both 720p and 1080i, was enormously popular with it's clients.
In 2007 Inertia added High Definition post production to their menu of offerings. Both on-line, digital, editing suites are now HD capable utilizing the DVCPRO HD codec.
In 2009 Inertia Films' Troy Thomas won another SE Regional Emmy, this one for photography work on the PBS documentary, Papa said, We should never forget produced by David Druckenmiller.
Inertia Films' staff has now won 100+ awards including: two Southeast Emmy Awards, 13 Telly Awards, three Worldfest Houston Remi Award and the Gold CINDY Award.
Inertia Films other broadcast credits include: Biography, Gangland, Taking the Stage, Inside the NFL, Dogs 101, All American Festivals, Storm Stories, History's Mysteries and VH1's Where Are They Now?

We often hear about the traditional music of African cultures, but here in the West it's easy to forget that the people of Africa are still making new music today. In the second of our guest video series, we're joined by Ngasii from TYHN, who's here to help correct that by teaching us all about a new style of South African dance music that's become a global phenomenon, even appearing in the film Black Panther.

SUMMARY
=======
Birmingham ( (listen), locally also: ) is the second-most populous city in the United Kingdom, after London, and the most populous city in the English Midlands. It is also the most populous metropolitan district in the United Kingdom, with an estimated 1,137,123 inhabitants, and is considered the social, cultural, financial, and commercial centre of the Midlands. It is the main local government of the West Midlands conurbation, which is the third most populated urban area in the United Kingdom, with a population of 2,897,303 in 2017. The wider Birmingham metropolitan area is the second largest in the United Kingdom with a population of over 4.3 million. It is frequently referred to as the United Kingdom's second city.A market town in the medieval period, Birmingham grew in the 18th-century Midlands Enlightenment and subsequent Industrial Revolution, which saw advances in science, technology, and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society. By 1791 it was being hailed as the first manufacturing town in the world. Birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation and provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century. The Watt steam engine was invented in Birmingham.The resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from Thomas Attwood to Joseph Chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in Britain outside London, and a pivotal role in the development of British democracy. From the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, Birmingham was bombed heavily by the German Luftwaffe in what is known as the Birmingham Blitz. The damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.
Birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector. The city is a major international commercial centre, ranked as a beta- world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network the joint highest ranking with Edinburgh and Manchester of all British cities outside of London; and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub. Its metropolitan economy is the second largest in the United Kingdom with a GDP of $121.1bn (2014), and its six universities make it the largest centre of higher educat ...

SUMMARY

New Orleans (, locally ; French: La Nouvelle-Orléans [la nuvɛlɔʁleɑ̃] (listen)) is a consolidated city-parish located along the Mississippi River in the southeastern region of the U.S. state of Louisiana. With an estimated population of 393,292 in 2017, it is the most populous city in Louisiana. A major port, New Orleans is considered an economic and commercial hub for the broader Gulf Coast region of the United States.
New Orleans is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. The historic heart of the city is the French Quarter, known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and vibrant nightlife along Bourbon Street. The city has been described as the most unique in the United States, owing in large part to its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. Founded in 1718 by French colonists, New Orleans was once the territorial capital of French Louisiana before being traded to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. New Orleans was once the third-most populous city in the United States, and it was the largest city in the American South from the Antebellum era until after World War II. The city's location and low elevation have historically made it very vulnerable to flooding, leading to the installation of a complex system of levees and drainage pumps.New Orleans was severely affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, flooding over 80% of the city and causing a population decline of over 50%. Since Katrina, major redevelopment efforts have led to a rebound in the city's population. Although, concerns about gentrification, new residents buying property in closely knit communities, and displacement of longtime residents have been voiced .The city and Orleans Parish (French: paroisse d'Orléans) are coterminous. As of 2017, Orleans Parish is the third most-populous parish in Louisiana, behind East Baton Rouge Parish and neighboring Jefferson Parish. The city and parish are bounded by St. Tammany Parish and Lake Pontchartrain to the north, St. Bernard Parish and Lake Borgne to the east, Plaquemines Parish to the south, and Jefferson Parish to the south and west.
The city anchors the larger New Orleans metropolitan area which had an estimated population of 1,275,762 in 2017, making it the most populous metropolitan area in Louisiana and the 46th-most populated in the United States.
