About Tyler Childers ‘Country Squire’
This webinar’s header image comes courtesy of Bomper Studio and the team’s work on the music video for Grammy-nominated artist Tyler Childers’ ‘Country Squire’. The production took place over six months from January to June 2020 and saw the team have to quickly move from the studio to a variety of WFH setups due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Bomper implemented a robust remote-work system that allowed the team to continue production and keep on top of all the disparate strands of development.
