  The US film industry is one of the highest grossing and most prolific film industries in the world. Although the US film industry is most commonly referred to as Hollywood, filmmaking hubs exist in several major cities across the country, not just Los Angeles. The country is teeming with world-renowned screenwriters, directors, actors, cinematographers, production studios, animators, and film festivals, and San Francisco has its fair share. San Francisco has been a backdrop in films as far back as the silent film era and is an ever-growing part of the industry. San Francisco is a welcoming place for filmmakers, offering expanding production resources and tax incentives and a vibrant and unique pool of talented filmmakers

We spent several days with the great people at Roche and were fortunate to get a range of footage from scenarios as varied as beautiful spring almond blooms to exciting racing action. We were happy to be able to explain the processes that help bring delicious snacks to the Central Valley and all over the world.We used a variety of cameras and equipment including RED, Panasonic, Sony, DJI, and GoPro gear. Scott Davis was the writer/director, Justin McAleece was the DP and Mauricio Tapia, Ian McAleece, Daniel Zuñiga and others rounded out the crew

  Sometimes a campaign calls for slick and defined camera moves, other times it’s a streamlined tripod shoot so as to not distract from a comedic exchange. In this case we chose a more “organic” feel to the approach because we wanted it to feel like more authentic lifestyle stories. This can be achieved in a number of ways, but using a Ready Rig or EZ Rig is our weapon of choice. We also used an Inspire 2 for the aerial footage which yields incredibly nuanced images for such a small camera. Ian McAleece and Justin McAleece handled the cinematography.

  We got started with LeanData doing two versions of the “event plus testimonials” production style using 3-person crews wearing multiple hats each. Our first outing was in downtown San Francisco at a private club where LeanData was holding events surrounding Dreamforce – Salesforce’s massive yearly event. We shot a stylish event video full of casual onsite soundbites from the internal team and customers alike. Anyone could watch this video and get a sense of the company, its culture, and its customers.
  In our second outing with LeanData, we filmed at their Customer Appreciation Day at a hip new downtown San Francisco hotel and conference center. This was a more traditional event video with customer testimonials captured onsite alongside messages from LeanData leadership.

Jason Wada was the lead animator and, as usual, was able to give the piece a nice polish. We used After Effects and Photoshop to handle the graphics and they were mainly created in Illustrator. Some of them were provided by the client. This is a good example of a clean 2D approach and works well for a variety of marketing needs.

We’re seeing big increases in both companies wanting to highlight their Solar sales and installation business, and large-scale industrial operations making a major investment in solar arrays and looking to spread the word about their new sustainable energy commitment.
  Since solar is a passive function once installed, it’s important you capture footage of your solar installation to tell the story. We need to see the workers install those panels! Time lapses and on-the-ground coverage of installers are key shots as well.
  As your company makes these important investments in sustainability or as your solar sales and installation business grows, keep building this valuable footage library with video we shoot.

The people in charge have found effective ways to help the students and faculty to increase the quality of education and help funds get to the most useful places in what can sometimes become a complicated maze of choices.
  
  By working with the Greene Street agency, Blare Media was able to create a short video detailing just what the school district is doing to not only make wholesale changes to the way students are being taught, but to interact with them on a personal level to help them get the most out of their education.
  
  We had a great time seeing some marvelous things in the many schools we visited, including robotics labs, “flight school” and many forms of art like traditional dancing, choir, and theatre. We were aided in our efforts by local grips like Unico Clemente who did an outstanding job.

They do fresh milk the old fashioned way sold in reusable glass bottles, they have a drive through in Tulare that serves delicious milkshakes, and have recently tapped into the chocolate milk craze with a caffeinated protein-packed drink aptly named “Capitan Cow Pow”.
  
  To launch this fun new offering, Top O’ The Morn contacted Blare Media to make a 30 second spot to share with a large trade organization. Working with Producer-Writer-Director Joel Janecek, they sketched out creative and logistics. Production was led by the expert craftsmanship of Director of Photography Justin McAleece with post handled by Editor extraordinaire Mauricio Tapia. Additional key contributions giving the piece extra POW were George Ozburn as our Cow Pow recommending trainer and actress/models Dayana Avila and Edith Limon. Voiceover was done by the talented Mar Andersons.  less

Our working relationship with Scope Studios is a good example of this. We’ve done a lot of projects with them over the years and not only have we refined our lighting approach but have been able to add to the comedic elements of many of their campaigns. We have a lot of hyphenated artists at Blare Media and so we had a lot of fun working on these comedic dentistry video spots and offering ideas when they were useful. We shot this campaign with our workhorse Red Epic Dragon camera and our Sigma Cine Primes. We lit it with Joker and Aputure lighting. The DP was Justin McAleece and Ian McAleece was the gaffer. The spots were produced by Jon Slagle and directed by Jean-Luc Slagle. Our client was Scope Studios who put the whole thing together.

It can be like a wonderful couple of weeks at summer camp where everyone is on a team and everyone has their specific role. This idea of specializing often trickles down to the corporate world as well. Even if there’s only 3 crew members on set, it’s important to establish clear crew criteria of who is responsible for what. See where you fall in the hierarchy!
