Orson Restaurant Promo


We shot at the Orson Restaurant, Bar & Lounge in San Francisco. We used our 35mm lens gear for some nice interview shots of Elizabeth Falkner, the co-owner and executive chef, and we also utilized our jib and dolly for some snazzy camera moves. All these toys make for a pretty good looking video.

The Spy Video TRAKR toy from Wild Planet


We pulled out our 3D chops to realize a toy from Wild Planet which, at that time, was non-existent. The Spy Video TRAKR is a remote-controlled vehicle with a video camera and computer connectivity so people can create their own "apps" that can run on it. Like our previous 3D work for Wild Planet, it was a challenge and rewarding experience understanding and visualizing how a product worked without actually seeing or touching one.

The Trakr is not yet in stores, but will be released in the Fall of 2010.

Drivesavers on Google

We got together with the fun DriveSavers folks again to help them put together a video to help their reseller partners' visibility on Google Business Listings. We brought back the spokesperson from our previous video along with our trusty teleprompter guy to shoot in their "diskaster" museum and edit the video in time and under budget.

Shooting Jerry Rice

What can you say when you have the opportunity to shoot a sports celebrity? It was an honor and a priviledge to shoot Jerry Rice. It could have been "just another interview shoot," but with Jerry, who is a genuinely friendly and funny guy, it was a fun day out of the office.

Auditions with Sharon Gless

Friends from San Francisco's Z Space are producing a new play by Jane Prowse which was a book originally written by Jane Juska, starring Sharon Gless. It is the true story of one woman's fearless sexual liberation, A Round Heeled Woman.

The director and producers held several auditions for actors to read with Sharon Gless over a 4 month period and asked us to video tape those auditions in Berkeley and San Francisco. We were delighted to meet Sharon and help out Z Space.

The show ends February 7, 2010. Visit Z Space for more info and tickets to the show.

Lash Addiction Video

Lash Addiction wanted to create online tutorial videos for applying faux eye lashes, but they wanted a touch of modern pizzazz. We like pizzazz, so we were happy to work with them once again to create videos for both the strip lashes and the individual lashes. We shot a model as she applied the lashes in a step by step sequence, inserted voice over, motion graphics, animation, product shots, before and after photographs, and behind the scenes video footage of the photo shoot.
