Wireless Field Day 5

Can you believe it's August? Not only that, but it's the middle of August? The summer has flown by as we have been hard at work on a variety of interesting projects. From new clients like Matrix Medical, to recurring ones like Tech Field Day, we've been busy shooting, editing, and streaming.

We are no strangers to Tech Field Day, a high-tech event that brings bloggers and companies together for interactive discussions. In fact, serving as the live streaming video team, we have become a very prominent part of the event. Many of the presentations are fueled by questions from people watching the live stream. Also, the presentations accumulate more views after the event when the recorded content is posted online. In this instance, Tech Field Day has become special to us, and is an avenue where our abilities to think quickly and problem solve are tested.

For Wireless Field Day 5, we traveled to San Jose and we were prepared for a week worth of set ups and tear downs, while testing out another iteration of our audio system. At the last Tech Field Day, we utilized a new audio system that became a challenge to oversee all twelve inputs at once. While enabling each delegate with a microphone was a great improvement, we still had trouble managing the audio.

With our new mixer, each delegate still gets their own microphone, yet the audio will only be broadcasted when they speak. This eliminates trying to find idle munching or swallowing noises and turns up any of the delegates when they speak with no delay. Overall, it was an incredible improvement and we're excited to use it again next month at Networking Field Day 6.

We always treasure our time at each of the Tech Field Days, and we've formed great relationships with the presenters, staff, and delegates. It's a way for us to continue to be challenged in new and exciting ways, while growing in our video abilities. If you would like to request our services, please call us at 480.240.9270

Keeping busy on local projects

While our team travels often, we also have a variety of local clients in Phoenix that keep us busy on new and exciting projects. This past week, we spent time in the studio shooting demonstrations of cleaning products with Unelko. These demos are all apart of a larger project consisting of ten videos, which we've worked on before. For this studio production, we set up our lights and white backdrop to create a clean space for filming.

 

For the majority of the demos we used mirrored surfaces, which had parts that were treated and untreated. These mirrored surfaces proved a challenge in order to manipulate our camera in such a way where we couldn't see its reflection. We also had to use a white scrim as to not reflect the ceiling. For additional demos, we used other surfaces like ceramic tile and travertine, to further showcase each of the cleaning products. Filming these demonstrations added to our library of footage for this project, and we look forward to future shoots illustrating other products.

Later in the week, we had the opportunity to work with one of our newer clients, Matrix Medical. For this shoot we set up two cameras, one stationary and one on a slider to add movement between the shots. We've done a similar set up before, and we were thrilled with the outcome as it provided a creative and professional look.

For these interviews, we utilized our Rifa soft box lights to properly light each of the three interviews. It was an awesome opportunity to work with the Matrix Medical team, and we are excited to work with them again later this week for additional interviews.

 

Our clients love that we have two mobile production units to meet their production needs, however, we also have a great foundation in Phoenix. By offering our services locally and around the world, we are able to give our clients high quality video where they need it.
