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!
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.
Audio track: Satan Said Dance by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Much of this footage is available on www.stockr3d.com
Groovy Like a Movie, along with a great team of strategic partners, produced an exhibit for the USS Midway Museum. Kids from the Monarch School helped us by coming out to the museum and got a sneak preview of the program (and helped us beta-test!). We had some fantastic news coverage, including the piece from NBC 7/39 below.
We participated in the Navy Gold Coast conference in San Diego. This is the attract loop that played on the 60″ plasma screen in our booth. All footage shot on our RED One by Bill Heffley. Music is “Love Spreads” by The Stone Roses.
And in case you were wondering, we had the coolest booth there!
We’ve been working for over a year with the USS Midway Museum on an exhibit demonstrating the steam systems of the ship. This exhibit utilizes game theory to educate visitors in an entertaining and interactive manner. We partnered with Impact Communications and Mostre Design to create the finished product. Below are two samples of the many interactive videos we produced for the project.
Here is a picture of the finished installation, along with some mid-construction photos:
This is a piece I executive produced (along with Lt. Col. Bob Grass and Shanon Glezen) for the Marine Corps Mobilization Command (MOBCOM). The goal of the piece is to help further educate Marines, Sailors, and their families about the Return and Reunion process associated with being an involuntary recalled reservist.
Jacob, Dominic, and Ciani from Whirlwind Action came by the studio to discus an upcoming project. Bill had the RED ONE set up on the stage, so of course we had to see some moves in 120 frames per second!
A few caveats about this footage: we just turned on whatever lights happened to be set up, so the image is under lit (the RED was set to 1000 ISO), and if anyone ever sent me video like this and asked me to key it, I would beat them over the head with a KinoFlo.
Groovy Like a Movie has had some fantastic clients, including several of the most interesting non-profits in San Diego. This is a sample of projects we completed for Jr. Achievement, Boys & Girls Clubs and Jump for Life.
A client wanted to see a specific sample of what our RED One camera could do, so we 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!
