Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Herman Laimone. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Herman, appreciate you joining us today. Naming anything – including a business – is so hard. Right? What’s the story behind how you came up with the name of your brand?

It was a fun, long, and collaborative process. At first, we decided on the name “5 Points Media” for our growing videography/photography company. After a bit of research, we realized how common that name was — so we continued to brainstorm. After a many rough name drafts, we were confident on “Glass Sanctuary”, with the ‘glass’ referring to lens glass. People mentioned how it kinda sounded like a bong store name though, so we continued brainstorming. After a year or so, we finally were confident with the name of our company being “Evil Layer”. It stuck well with everyone, gave a bit of atmosphere.

Herman, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

Evil Layer is a videography/ photography company that, for example, specializes in providing for music videos, product photography, communal videography/photography work, commercials, model photography, & much more dealing in those fields. We are a rising company that wants to help in producing and/or distributing more interesting, bold, & artistic projects and having more diverse voices at the center stage of these projects and connected within the company. We create a strong and collaborative work environment within all of our endeavors.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

The most rewarding aspect of being an artist is the catharsis that is expressing so much emotion and passion into any work, even the ones that aren’t seen by many. Finishing that work is such an emotional catharsis. With film, it’s the collaborative aspect of the art. That’s with a lot of arts dealing in photography/videography.

There’s such a beautiful and human thing about working on something with passionate people of so many different types of voices helping bring something together — it’s pretty dope.

Alright – so here’s a fun one. What do you think about NFTs?

I don’t like ‘em.
