In town for a major medical conference, client Don Wheatley of V-Worx Digital Media needed to shoot a panel discussion for one of his clients. Using a local affiliate’s stage and facilities we accommodated Don as well as many similar clients over the years. Whether you need a simple two-man camera crew or a multiple camera shoot on a sound stage we’ve got you covered.
The Importance of Good Sound
Great quality sound is just as important as are great pictures. Sound recordist Ron Hyatt extends a directional microphone to John Madden as he shares his opinion of an upcoming Monday Night Football game.
The Art of Make Up
Proper make-up and hair-dressing are essential ingredients to compelling imagery. Michelle Streeter, one of San Diego’s best make-up artists, attends to our female lead character for a series training DVD’s shot and edited in the Digital Betacam format.
Multiple Camcorders
As the number of additional cameras goes up in production so does the complexity. For multi-camera television and video production in San Diego and elsewhere, we have proven to our clients we have the experience to execute in a cost effective manner. Sloan productions specializes in multi-camera camcorder production.
Teleprompters
An aid to performers who have long on-camera deliveries is a teleprompter. A computer scrolls enlarged text of the script and displays it on a one-way mirror in front of the lens. On the cliffs of Torrey Pines, Fred Kaufman, Executive Producer of the PBS series NATURE, addresses the camera for an upcoming episode.
Marine Video Production
Working on the water is one of the skills that Sloan Productions has been known for. During the America’s Cup competitions in San Diego, Bob logged cumulative days on the water covering the event and individual yachting syndicates, television networks, and corporate sponsors.
Creating a Positive Working Environment
In the operating room, the surgeon runs the show. Sloan Productions is known for an ability to communicate & create an inter-dependence with “leaders of their environment”, it may be a surgeon, a CEO, or an America’s Cup skipper.
Going Through Channels
No, this isn’t West Coast Choppers. If you look closely you’ll see that we are actually filming in a chemistry lab. The challenge for this shoot was to; 1-Get permission to grind, weld, & operate a chainsaw in one of our client’s labs, 2-Not set off smoke alarms and needing to evacuate an entire building, and 3-Return the lab to it’s original condition.
The video project was a parody called “Pimp My Drug“.
Making it Fun = Good Results
Respecting the Time of Your Client’s Employees
An important aspect during production of videos for biotech clients is maximizing our time in the lab with minimal interruptions to the scientist’s work while complying with health & safety procedures. In addition to this skill and experience, we have engineered specialized lighting systems for lab work.
