A client wanted to see a specific sample of what our RED One camera could do, so Bill and I grabbed an intern, set up and shot this sample in a couple hours. Often, giving the client something to look at can really help explain a concept. While we can’t always shoot a proprietary sample for a client, when we can do something like this, it really helps!
What was my “take away” from the experience? Man I love what Bill can make this camera do!
Bill Heffley picked up one of the HVX200s again to experiment with some in-camera painting and focus. The music is from the NiN Ghost album and the talent is stage manager Michael Callahan.
When trying to describe something to a client, often the only to convey what we're talking about is to produce a sample.
This is a sample video for a client that wants their project to be slightly gritty, but very high quality. Bill and Mike took the HVX200 out back to do some in-camera painting to acheive the look desired by producer/director Greg. High shutter speed, ultra-warm white balance, handheld with a shallow depth of field all combine to create a fantastic mood.

Ever wonder how CD’s are made? I haven’t really, but ran across this little ditty of information. I never knew you needed a special knife to make a disc, amazing.
This sight was responsible for enlightening my technology senses.
The Marine Corps Recruit Depot of San Diego found themselves in a bit of a pinch: they needed a commercial for their upcoming annual Bootcamp Challenge, and they needed it FAST. So, naturally, Groovy to the rescue…
All that was provided was a flyer of this year’s event and a DVD of the footage we had from last years Bootcamp Challenge (edited by the awesome Nili Danielli!)
Special thanks to Sean McHenry of MCCS, and Gunny Sgt. Patino for his warm vocal stylings!
i came across this video on YouTube by way of david pogue’s blog. it is a technology demonstration of a new way to resize photos. while the technology is still in its infancy, as processing power increases, similar techniques could be used to dynamically resize video, so that the same content would look good both on your wide-screen plasma and on your cell phone.
We're putting together a proposal for a client and needed to test a concept to figure out how much it would cost if we were to do it 'for real.' While playing around with some low resolution files purchased from istockphoto.com, I thought it would be fun to show the steps this simple (but pretty cool) effect went through to reach completion.
Remember, this is only a proof of concept sketch, so there are some rough edges.
this is a short demo that highlights recent projects completed by groovy like a movie. it includes a nice testimonial from one of our favorite clients!
