Candids for 20 X 40 foot video wall

- Patrick Roche

I just returned from Cisco Live 2009, Cisco’s premiere user conference at Moscone Center in San Francisco.

For the last four days, we had 2 camera crews shooting HD footage and covering all aspects of the event, including a concert by Devo and The B-52s.

We delivered daily montages that were displayed on a 20 x 40 foot video wall as well as shoot and edit a candids module that opened today’s General Session.

For post, we had 2 complete Final Cut Pro HD systems.

This year we were shooting tapeless, which was great but did pose it’s own set of challenges. We had to come up with a system to track and log the large amounts of footage that the crews were bringing us.

We had some really long days and I got very little sleep last night but at the end of the day, we had a very happy client, which made it all worth wile.

Now, it’s time for me to take a nap!

Making Data Engaging

- Patrick Roche

How do you make forty-plus minutes of educational video content engaging?  That was the challenge we were faced with recently while planning a project for Genentech.

The training video is designed to educate Genentech’s field representatives on the company’s reimbursement program, which assists patients in gaining access to medications.

While designing the piece, we wanted to find creative ways to get a lot of text information across to the audience, while keeping the piece visually interesting.

We designed a graphic template that we could easily modify for the required text.  This would give the piece a unified look throughout the piece, while allowing us to streamline our post-production workflow to meet the tight deadline.

Since the majority of the piece was shot documentary style using a hand held camera, we also decided to shoot our host segments against pure white.  This gave us flexibility in post to add additional graphics over the host’s shoulder.

After 9 days of post with both an editor and graphic designer, we finally had a piece that accomplished our goals and worked really well.  More importantly, we had a very happy client!
