Clippings from the Past

Before the internet, there were paper trails — and we’ve kept ours. In this section, you’ll find a curated collection of press clippings from newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and trade journals that documented the early days of Crystal Pyramid Productions and New & Unique Videos. These yellowing pages, now digitized for posterity, tell the story of a small but mighty video production team making waves long before streaming or social media entered the scene.

From spotlight features on our award-winning instructional tapes to reviews of our bold, ahead-of-their-time documentaries, these articles offer a glimpse into the media landscape of the 1980s and ’90s. They reflect the curiosity and recognition we sparked as we carved out our niche in the evolving world of video storytelling. Think of this section as a time capsule — a look back at where we’ve been, and a celebration of the journey that brought us here.
