NYE009 Bond Shoot

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Dan and I did a shoot on Friday for a new years eve party. The party is at the Jet Hotel in Denver and is based on the James Bond theme.

The event coordinator for the party is Kevin Joseph of Event Savant and he brought in Alex Taylor and Erica Golding for the shoot. Kevin managed to show up 30 minutes late, but when you walk in with these two, there’s not a whole lot of complaining you can do. Dan did a good job coriagraphing the dancing because he’s such a good dancer himself, while I was the DJ to keep the party alive.

Denver Green Screen

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Denver Green Screen LogoDan and I got back in the studio the other day for a casting call for Denver Green Screen. There has been an ongoing demand for green screen shooting for the web, whether it be for their own personal websites, or just some youtube videos. We decided to have a casting call for models and actors that have on screen experience. We had a great turnout, including some Broncos Cheerleaders, which made my job envious for the first time. The theory behind the casting call is to eliminate the talent search. We now have a pool of very skilled and professional actors and models that we like to work with and the client can choose from. We’re a 1-stop firm. We have professional writing, shooting, talent, and web implementation all under 1 roof.

14′ Seamless Green Screen

Friday, October 10th, 2008

We’re leaving the 14′ Green Screen up for the Month of October for a few shoots. If you’re hesitant to shoot because of cost or lack of experience, then you need to call me. The shoot is surprisingly inexpensive and the shooting process couldn’t be any easier. Dan and I can setup a teleprompter so that you can read your script. No memorization required. We also pride ourselves on making you comfortable. If you need a beer to get you going, we’ll all head over to the Walnut room and grab one before the shoot. If you just need some down time, then there’s a lounge and music and the studio. Call me if you have any questions.14′ seamless green screen

Borderless Video from Unleaded

Borderless Video Still

The end product of the October 1st green screen shoot is now live. This is a good example of integrated seamless web video. The client was looking for more website/user interaction and this is what came to life. Another term for this technique is ‘Borderless Video’ or ‘Borderless Web Video’ rightfully named due to the lack of a video screen or borders that a typical video is embedded within. This can be an effective tool for getting information to the client in a cost effective way. I have also done these shoots for PowerPoint presentations. Some people don’t speak as well in public as they do in front of a camera, so this is a great technique to give a presentation without getting nervous in front of potential investors/clients. Click Play and your preseantion is given for you.
