San Diego's Award-Winning Video Production Company for 35 Years
YMCA’s across the country are promoting their Healthy Family Home program. New client Richmarc Productions and their client Eli Lilly shoot segments and interviews for the promotion. DP Bob Sloan employed the Sony F-900 high definition camcorder fitted with a Fujinon extreme wide angle zoom lens during this day of production for director Greg Perry
For the Animal Planet program Dogs 101, Powderhouse Productions of Cambridge Massachusetts came to San Diego to shoot a segment about “Murphy the Surfing Dog”. Director of Photography, Bob Sloan shot the feature in high definition using Sloan’s Panasonic Varicam package and lenses. The shoot consisted of interviews and B-roll and was produced by Tom Draudt.
For ESPN’s critcally acclaimed program E:60 we shoot specifically for slow motion effects using the Panasonic Varicam’s ability to shoot at 60 frames per second. In this photo, Olympic hopeful, and amputee Jeff Skiba clears the bar for our camera for a story called “Bionics”.
In March, we joined Discovery New Media producers Vanessa Serrao and Matt Strocchia to shoot segments for “Pet Trends” with Maggie Gallant. Shooting in HDV with our Sony Z1-U we visited the Global Pet Expo and Solana Beach based pet store “Muttropolis”, as Maggie and her dog Trixie researched the very latest in “Pet Trends”.
Multi-Camera Camcorder production is a production style that we excel at. We shot our fifth season of The Golf Fitness Academy sponsored by Titleist converting their facilities in Carlsbad into a television studio. Working with Golf Channel producer Jen Maule and Andy Ebert, we shot ten half hour programs using four Betacam SP Camcorders.
As the San Diego Chargers made their run in the playoffs, ESPN-The Worldwide Leader in Sports, relied on us for their gameday production needs gathering b-roll, player sound, & feeding stand-ups of Bob Holtzman & John Clayton for ESPN‘s Countdown program. We employed two pop-up shelters for intermittent heavy rains, (yes, in San Diego…). Shari Greenberg Producer.
Somebody’s got to do it! In the push to publicize Microsoft’s Guitar Hero 3 video game for the Christmas season we covered a cross country duel between Carmen Electra in Los Angeles and Tony Romo in Dallas for Kenny Mayne’s Mayne Event. Produced by Tom McCollum.
ESPN needed to capture a full High Definition shot of a bull charging the camera for their new show E:60 and we love a challenge. Bob designed and built a custom mount to protect the camera and facilitate the shot. We used an Iconix miniature HD camera fitted with an extreme wide-angle lens and recorded on DVC Pro HD. The shoot was in Northern Mexico and was produced by E:60 producer Yaron DeSkalo.
Antonio Gates of the San Diego Chargers hams it up for the camera and ESPN producer Martin Khodabakhshian during production of elements for ESPN‘s weekly Countdown show and a feature about “Fear in the NFL”. See a sample of our sports production work in the screening room.
One of our advanced services for our clients is time-lapse photography. Our Sony XDCAM HD F-350L is specifically suited to time-lapse sequences, as well as our Panasonic Varicam. Bob has been shooting time-lapse sequences for clients, and collecting stock footage sequences for our library.
