For this project, we partnered with the marketing minds over at BuzzBee Company to create a video about the IBM Smart Analytics 5710, powered by Intel Xeon Processors. The idea was to highlight the high level benefits of the system in a fast, upbeat way that would be informative, without getting boring. So we hired some local talent to play the parts of CEO and sales director, and then we mocked up a couple of “sets” in our new studio – a little faux coffee shop, and a cubicle that will likely see some future use for this type of corporate work. We also got to do a little on-location shooting at the Everett Station, where we filmed our “sales director” starting her work day as her train rolls in. Everything went smooth as butter, and the footage looks great.  It’s in post right now getting prettied up with all the informative titles and flashy graphics, but we’ll have it finished up soon. In the meantime, check out these shots of Sierra-Media in action. 2011-11-08T23:13:05+00:00 http://www.sierra-media.com/site/fluke_press_tour http://www.sierra-media.com/site/fluke_press_tour#When:22:27:10Z To help wow the technology press corps, we helped Fluke Corporation with a short video of 3 killer new products. The approach was short and sweet, basically shot in one day on site with some exteriors as pick-ups. Edited with a music bed and used together and separately on live and passed around. The coolest shot was dropping a DMM (digital multimeter of which Fluke makes the best in the world) into a clear tank of water and seeing it continue to work. We also dropped the unit 2 meters from a ladder and yep, it kept on tickin’.

The Aqausox, a single A team affiliated with the Seattle Mariners, recently installed a beautiful state of the art video board in the Everett Memorial Stadium. We are tasked with crewing the production for the remaining 20 games this season. Along with creating all of the on screen graphics and video, we operate the video display during all of the games. If you think baseball is a slow sport, you should see us hop during the game. If you have not been to a game, it’s a real hoot. There are between inning promotions and contests and even though there are rules prohibiting showing motion video when the batter is up, in the background we are recording and switching the cameras for those oh so precious slo-mo replays. The season runs through Sept.3rd. Come on out and see for yourself.

We shot and edited 3 stories and created a Flash Player for them. With a quick turnaround, we covered a short day in the life of some of Fluke’s customers. 2009-05-10T00:41:27+00:00
