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.
Multi-Camera Camcorder Production
During taping of The Golf Fitness Academy by Titleist, hosts Greg Rose and Dave Phillips discuss golf exercise with a guest. Sloan Productions has shot five seasons of GFA with four Betacam SP camcorders & transforming Titleist’s Carlsbad, CA gym into a television studio.
Working with Sharks
With the popularity of sharks in television programming Sloan Productions has answered the call on numerous occasions to share the set with them. In this photo, Bob Cranston draws a blue shark closer to the camera during a shoot for Inside Edition off of San Diego.
Production in Surgery
Working in the operating room has some very specific challenges. One is positioning a camera above the surgeon to see his point of view. Sloan Productions has executed many single and multiple camera surgery shoots including oral, open-heart, & plastic surgery.
Prepare for the Environment
Whether it’s in a sterile clean room or an oilfield, Sloan Productions prepares for each specific environment. The location may be wet, extremely hot, cold, desolate, or dirty. It’s not the challenge, but creating the solution that we enjoy.
A Commitment to Our Clients

Sloan Productions orchestrated the movement and technical quality of five Panasonic SDX 900 camcorders between ballrooms, conference rooms, and outdoor areas capturing live switched proceedings for the Taking Care of Your Diabetes website.
Working with Children
Capturing intended responses from children has a unique set of challenges. For one thing, children are much smarter than most adults give them credit for. Acting silly or stupid is a dead giveaway to most kids that the production is lacking authenticity. In this photo, a Swift Media producer asks questions of children for an internal communications video.
Canon 5D Mark II Production
Chris La Palm directs while Bob Sloan shoots with the Canon 5D Mark II. One of the Canon 5D‘s advantage for a DP is that it has a full frame sensor which allows for very shallow depth of field to help isolate your subject from the background. You also have the entire line of Canon lenses to choose from, from 14mm to 600mm.
Professional Profile-Leslie Ann Nichols
It isn’t often that I get to work with someone who helps set the standard for talent, ability, professionalism, and genuine character. Leslie Ann Nichols of Junkdrawer Media, Philadelphia, produced and coordinated the video production for Hall Media, Philadelphia of the Taking Care of Your Diabetes conference in San Diego last month. Sloan Productions provided the crew and equipment, 5 cameras, etc. It is my opinion that truly great producers and coordinators have a particular gene for it that most of us don’t.
Leslie does admit to being a tad anal, but she handles everything with a sense of calm and good natured humor. When she has to get tough, she does that appropriately as well. I wholeheartedly endorse her. She’ll make a great contribution to any project she works on! She and her company have some really great projects going as well.
