Neither of those sounds very professional...that may be what you're after, if you're wanting to make clients feel easy with you...but they seem to come off as a little too goofy to be taken seriously, to me at least. That's probably not a good thing...
I agree with the Woodson options also, two extremely familiar words collapsed (wood-son, helps with marketing I would imagine). Very old and strong name imo.
Until about the 14th century most people had only one name. It has been estimated that in medieval England 3 of 5 men carried the name of Henry, Robert, John, William or Richard. As towns and cities grew, so did the necessity to further identify individuals and families, thus requiring a second or surname.
With few exceptions there were four ways surnames or permanent family names were adopted. They were:
1. Patronymics - The fathers name with "son" immediately after it, example Peterson, Adamson, Woodson
2. Place Names - Words that identify where a person or family lived or came from, example Hill, Lake, Wood, Glades, March

reminds me of AAAA Painting - Norm from Cheers tried that strategy...straight back to the barstool.
okay.. i'm registering my production name within 10 days.
I was thinking of naming it Woodson Reel Productions, Or Woodson Reeliaty Productions but since we wont be doing anything with film, mostly video, I think I'm going to stick with Woodson Productions.
