Welcome to the groovy like a movie blog - or vlog, we should say. This video production blog showcases a behind-the-scenes look at some of the groovy things we're up to. Check back in with our film production blog to see the latest vlog postings from groovy like a movie.
We had the extreme pleasure of hosting the Twisted Metal team as they shot in our studio. The project has been a little hush-hush, but since they showed this video at Comic-Con, I think it’s safe to let a little bit of the cat out of the bag. It was an intense run of nearly two weeks, with characters from the Twisted Metal universe walking around our studio. The entire team was incredible to work with, and I hope they come back again soon!
This is a project we produced for the 2010 AIGA Y-Conference. Their theme this year is “shift,” and we were tasked with taking their existing print concept (utilizing a lot of split screen images) and creating an inspiring, interesting video to introduce the conference, sponsors, & speakers.
I’m on the board of directors for SAFE – The San Diego Advertising Fund for Emergencies. SAFE is a volunteer, non-profit organization (501c3) dedicated to providing financial aid in life crisis situations to members of the San Diego County advertising and marketing community and their families. If you have been employed in the San Diego advertising industry (or one of the supporting industries like printing, graphic design, promotional products, etc) for a continuous period of three years and not absent from the field for more than one year, and you find yourself in a life crisis, you can apply for financial assistance from SAFE.
This is a project we produced for them to highlight one of their success stories.
We were very happy to host UCSD’s Digital Arts Center in the studio for two of their studio production classes. This video was produced as part of the class. Student Tom Antl set up some of the lighting elements, shot all of the clips in the opening sequence, and was the roving 3rd camera during the interview. He also edited & color graded the piece as well as created the simple animations at the beginning and end. The class was being lead by professional photographer David Max Steinberg.
We are very excited to have completed this 30-second spot for Passages Malibu’s book on recovery called the Alcoholism and Addiction Cure. Passages provides a unique and proven program for recovery from substance abuse that focuses on the root causes of a person’s addiction. They came to Groovy to help create a spot that creates an emotional impact. The spot was directed by Bruce Caulk of Intelliscape Films.
The is a temp cut of some footage we shot for Fashion Career College in San Diego. We had a lot of fun with the models and fashion designers, and I think it shows in this piece.
