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!

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.

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.

From Qualcomm, Inc’s Leadership Summit 2009; Mark Oliver from John Deere (yes, THAT John Deere) talks about how Qualcomm’s Smart Services helps keep their end users running efficiently. Groovy Like a Movie is proud to have partnered with Qualcomm, Inc to produce this project. What I find interesting about Mark’s talk is how wireless technology has infiltrated and improved industries that we don’t generally think of as high tech!

As he says, “It is just the beginning…”

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.
