Producing Brand Awareness at the Ground Level

The goal of this project was to show Newbridge Marketing supporting their client, Kodiak Cakes. By the end of this production we were able to successfully lay out how Newbridge Marketing’s promotional Food Truck Tour through Utah’s ski resorts increased the brand awareness of Kodiak Cakes’s products. Through a niche marketing video and promotional experience we were able to tell the stories of Kodiak Cakes healthy lifestyle and Newbridge Marketing’s expertise.

 

For this project C&I Studios produced a video that showed how well received Kodiak Cakes food truck and samples were in Utah’s ski resorts. The video production crew shot this video on location in Utah. We had to accommodate for the wintery weather but it was worth it because the end result was a dynamic, sunny winter wonderful video that advocated for Kodiak Cakes products and it’s brand.

Where the Magic Happens

In post-production, we were able to show off what the Newbridge Marketing brand has to offer their clients. Particularly their Food Truck Tours. This video outlined what a food truck tour of theirs can look like via easy-to-read text. It showed the awry of food samples and also the kind of swag the food trucks offer during their tours. We really took out the time to show what Newbridge Marketing can do to spread brand awareness for their clients like Kodiak Cakes.

Ian Bravo

The educational sector produces leaders, inventors, and thinkers whose ideas improve and drive the society. Despite education’s propensity to generate outstanding people, the industry as a whole has stayed mostly unchanged—until now.

 

With millennials changing the way we live, there has been a progressive shift in training or coaching methodologies. The traditional educational paradigm has shifted from one in which students are taught by teachers in classrooms to one that incorporates technology and co-working areas.

 

Consider the classrooms you attended as a student. Perhaps you recall sitting and observing as the teacher performed the majority of the talking, or perhaps you and your classmates were given problem-solving assignments to do. Perhaps your assessments consisted entirely of rote memorization of previously taught material, or perhaps you maintained a portfolio of your work that your teacher evaluated with one-on-one feedback. Learning environments differ from one classroom to the next and from one context to the next. Good old memories aren’t they?

Meet Ian Bravo

Well, meet Ian Bravo. Ian started this remarkable company called “All pod”, and basically its a service that allows teachers to work wherever they can rent a space, work remotely, and with other teachers as well.

 

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower,” Steve Jobs said. And well, Ian Bravo is most certainly a leader, as his wonderful idea makes it so much easier for teachers to do what they love, and impact knowledge on the leaders of tomorrow.

 

Thanks to Ian’s company, every day, hosts provide one-of-a-kind stays and one-of-a-kind experiences that allow visitors(teachers in this case) to have a more genuine and connected experience towards impacting knowledge. And the students in a knowledge-centered environments such as this, are encouraged to learn information thoroughly so that they can apply it in new circumstances and contexts.

Every Story Matters

At C&I, we understand that the stories we share bind us all together. And we were more than glad to capture and tell Ian’s story in the most amazing way possible. Our ability to harness the power of imagination is greater than ever thanks to technological advancements. We can create worlds not just with words or photos, or a combination of the two, but with much more.

 

And we enjoyed being part of Ian’s story; every single bit of it!

The video production services we rendered for Ian, meant so much to us, and it eventually grew into something much bigger. We were more than glad to be part of Ian’s dream. Ian Bravo is an extremely nice and super creative individual, so it was really nice getting to know him, and working with him. We adore our profession, and the fact that we get to do what we love, creating commercials and helping people showcase their dreams and ideas to the world every day is incredible. This project took about three to four days at various locations in fort Lauderdale and Miami. We had one-on-one moments with the teachers and students, and being able to assist Ian in promoting and marketing All pod wasn’t just what made it special, getting the broll of the kids on the playground was the best part and seeing the smiles on their faces made it all worthwhile. It was truly amazing!

Conceptual Communications

Communications

play-sharp-fill

What is conceptual communication?

Conceptual communication is a part of our everyday life. When dealing with others, how you communicate will influence how they feel and behave, which can make or break your job. Learning how communication works and some basic communication skills will make life a lot easier for all parties involved. Put plainly, communication is the process of sending and receiving information. It includes both verbal and nonverbal communication. Conceptual communication, mostly regarded as Visual and non-verbal communication entails using our imagination, to pass information.

 

Images first appeared between 10,000 and 45,000 years ago. Cro-Magnons began to sculpt, engrave, and paint wild creatures, human hands, and abstract patterns on their bodies and in caves. The first petroglyphs were made 10,000 BC in the Neolithic era – figures cut in stone that served as the beginning of the creation of written symbols.

Body language

Our facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, posture, eye contact, and touch all communicate messages. When the verbal and nonverbal (body language) messages disagree, communication is misconstrued. People will become perplexed when you say one thing, but your body sends a different message. When confronted with contradictory messages, most individuals will believe what they see. You’ve most likely heard the expression “actions speak louder than words.” That is especially true in this case. You must be conscious of both your own and other people’s body language.

Visual communication

What exactly is visual communication?

 

Visual communication is the use of images to convey information. Visual communication with graphs and charts frequently supports written information and, in many cases, replaces it entirely. As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and visual communication is often more potent than spoken and nonverbal communication. Visual communication is now much easier to express because of technological advancements.

 

Assume you need to find a way out of the building. You do not notice the signpost with the inscription, but you locate the sign with the image of the open door. That is Visual communication.

 

Visual communications design is typically created by a team of people, including artists, public relations managers, and marketers, and designers.

play-sharp-fill

Ways a business can achieve effective communication

Visualization improves our ability to perceive information. A person can understand the message of a sign or commercial image in a matter of seconds. The primary applications of visualization are as follows:

 

Graphic design: Graphic design is a type of visual communication with certain aims that can be met through effective graphic design. It entails visually expressing concepts through the use of various graphics tools.

 

Interaction Design: Today, digital products such as applications are employed as strong tools to transmit messages and information. Digital products are made up of various aspects, each of which interacts with the consumer in a unique way. Interaction design is a design technique in which designers focus on how a product and its features interact with users. The relevant information is transmitted to end-users through the interactive design of digital products.

 

Brand Identification: Brand identity refers to the symbols, logos, shapes, and other visual components that different brands use to represent themselves. These are simple to recall, and whenever a person sees a brand’s emblem, they can associate it with the brand. A well-known company’s logo provides information about the product. For example, if you see an image of Medusa the Gorgon on the perfume bottle, you know it’s a Versace perfume.

play-sharp-fill

Words are not always the most effective approach to express information and ideas. Sometimes rich pictures, rather than endless paragraphs of text, are the best way to tell a narrative. Good illustrations are focused and communicate the most crucial message quickly. Reports should be useful while also being simple to read. Flowcharts should emphasize the distinctions between old and new processes. It’s easy to overwhelm your viewers with too many ideas at once when generating images. The greatest images convey the message clearly, focusing attention on what is most important.

University of Miami Hillel

When the University of Miami Hillel contacted us needing a new video for fundraising, we jumped at the chance to create something special for them. After interviewing students and getting an understanding of the organization’s mission, we crafted a heartfelt video that truly captures the essence of UM Hillel. The video highlights student testimonials, footage from the campus and Braman Miller Center for Jewish Life, and an overall atmosphere that showcases the vibrant culture.

 

This project allowed us to utilize both natural light and professional lighting to create a mood that perfectly reflects the positive energy of UM Hillel. We also made sure to incorporate advanced post-production techniques, such as motion graphics and color correction, for a professional look and feel. The result is a video that captures the essence of UM Hillel’s mission and brings it to life in an engaging and powerful way.

Dive in and enjoy the underwater scenery over and over again with a Paralenz camera rental

Paralenz wanted to highlight not just their amazing underwater cameras with these videos, but also that you don’t have to purchase one to create amazing underwater videos. And C&I Studios met that challenge!

 

As a company, Paralenz understands that not everyone is able to purchase underwater filming equipment, and so Paralenz has set up rental spots for anyone, from divers to snorkelers, beginners and experts, one-time users or avid ocean explorers to use at a moment’s notice. They wanted to show the world that everyone can access these amazing devices through rental locations in South Florida (US) and the Napoli Coast of Italy.

Paralenz Camera

The Paralenz video cameras are both easy to use under the water and do more than just record video. Your videos are uploaded to an app on your phone or other device, making them easy to share anytime and anywhere. The app also tracks your dive, sending the scientific information to conservationists to help keep our waters clean and thriving.

 

C&I Studios was able to create videos for Paralenz that showcase all this information. With professional video production, C&I Studios can highlight specific aspects of any business, such as rental options and locations, and how a product can be put in the hands of anyone who wants to use it, as well as feature a company’s story or a quick overview of the whole business. Videos draw in more views than just graphics and photos alone as they allow for more interaction between the viewer and the company.

End Results

For this project, C&I Studios shot video in two locations, in Florida (US) and the Napoli Coast of Italy where the Paralenz camera rentals are currently available. We can work from any location for any business, even on a boat or underwater!

 

C&I Studios was able to create not one, but two videos that work together seamlessly while showing off the unique aspects of each location that Paralenz rentals ar available. The videos feature local culture and scenery that are found only in South Florida and the Napoli Coast of Italy and why you’d want to be able to film your underwater diving adventures while visiting!

 

C&I Studios worked on this project from beginning concepts to post-production. We secured all talent from actors to production crew, filming locations and props that were used, and saw the project through to the end, creating a riveting piece of professional art that both C&I Studios and Paralenz can proudly display.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the world’s largest boat show. This mega event exhibits superyachts, antique cars, and demonstrations. Fort Lauderdale is known as the Yachting Capital of the World. The five-day show featured over 100,000 attendees, 1500 boats, and 1,000 exhibitors from 52 countries. The Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) hosts the International Boat Show every year.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

Telling their story

“The greatest Boat Show on the Seven Seas”

 

Located a few steps from the beach in South Florida, FLIBS stretches to 90 acres across three million square feet of exhibit space. With translucent water, the striking coastline in sunny South Florida, it is a heaven for passionate boat lovers.

 

When they approached us to shoot the promotional video for the 60th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, they wanted us to capture the true spirit of the show and what makes it unique and the largest in-water boat show in the world.

 

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is an economic powerhouse.  The show has a massive impact on the local and statewide economy. It offers significant support to the $12 billion South Florida marine industry and supports critical economic certainty and job growth. With the promo, they wanted us to highlight the main offerings of the show.

The Shoot

We were super excited to shoot the promo for this extravagant and one of the most anticipated events of the year. Suffice to say the video production team had a big job on their hands.  The Boat show has a huge buzz, and our task was to add more flair. The organizers were looking to hit the milestone by reaching record-breaking attendees.  It didn’t need to be barrier-breaking content, but our team knew that the project required a sense of drama and excitement. With the Boat show having a loyal and vocal following, our main job was to keep them interested while attracting new followers.

 

When it comes to the marine industry, the content is very crucial. The marine industry needs content that has striking visuals. It has to be something that educates and enhances the audience’s interest. Our idea was to create a promo with noteworthy information and appealing visuals.

 

The video production team captured the alluring visuals to showcase the boats and exotic venue. To give the audience an idea of what they should expect from the show: the video precisely highlighted the attractions of the Boat Show.

 

The next step was the voice-over. Finding the right voice for the promo is no easy task.  How do you find the charismatic voice that draws attention and influences the viewers to attend an event?  Eventually, the production team found someone who got the people buzzing about the show.

 

Worth mentioning, no promo is complete without the uplifting and enticing music.

 

All elements came together to create an exciting promo to put the people in the mood for the highly-anticipated International Boat Show.

Geneva Seal

Telling the Story.

 

“Our collective efforts to build something have made this city thrive… and our family’s no different.”

 

Chicago. A city of noise, congestion, people—and above all, innovation. For the family behind Geneva Seal, this is home. A city where progress and handwork have allowed them to plant roots that span more than 50 years. When they came to us, they were looking for a way to tell this story, a story of humble European origins, and a rich family heritage that unites sophistication and elegance.

 

This once small business had evolved from the early days of importing diamonds to today, where they deliver over four thousand pieces a year. And they needed us to deliver this information, whilst evoking in the viewer their brand’s joint principles of service, quality, value, and trust. For Geneva Seal is more than just about business. They are about legacy.

The Animation

Perhaps the most rewarding challenge of this project was the 2D and 3D animations involved in pulling the whole thing off. Luckily, our graphic design team was ready and eager to rise to the challenge.

 

Our research on the Fulton Market district formed the basis of an intimate study, which was how we were able to capture the authenticity of these iconic buildings in an area known for its hip entertainment venues and modern restaurants.

 

From the analog pencil sketches taken from drone footage to the computer-generated imagery they eventually became, our VFX team did not rest until they had something convincing to show. And their hard work really did pay off – the final result speaks for itself.

The Shoot

We were tasked with the awesome responsibility of telling this story. Geneva Seal entrusted us to take their brand of nationally-renowned sophistication and, through the eyes of our video production, bring its history to life. But video production does not simply start when the camera begins to roll, and it certainly does not end when it ceases…

 

After delivering a custom script for approval, Location was our next focus: Chicago. Sore-front stills and stock-shots of the iconic city streets were taken, as well as footage captured of city-scapes through the eyes of a drone.

 

Then came the talent. Scouting for a voice-over and finding just the right fit is not always the easiest thing to do; how do you find a voice that tells an inspiring story but stays true to the elegance of the brand itself, and is compelling, all at the same time? Well, we like to think we found it.

 

And of course, no story-telling video is complete without effective music as company.
All of these elements came together in the end to tell the story of a 50-year old legacy, a family business, and a brand that embodies timeless sophistication, style, and value.

URBN SOCIAL

URBN Social is a community network that supports black-owned businesses, artists, entrepreneurs, intellectuals, spokespeople, politicians… you name it!

They share empowering and controversial news, as well as uplifting social trends, to both publicize and empower the black community. Their entire brand is about owning one’s identity and having pride in one’s heritage.

 

It can be said that URBN Social exists purely to celebrate black culture while providing audience’s around the world with an outlet to communicate their perspective, support one another, rally behind worthy causes, and see that wealth and social power builds in predominantly black communities.

 

However, even in this context, their message transcends race. They preach all-inclusivity. And though they only highlight black-owned businesses, artists, and trends, they do so to shed light on a culture that invites everyone — regardless of race, religion, age, or political orientation — to embrace, celebrate, and learn from the richness and beauty of their community.

 

We were here to see that URBN Social’s full potential could be reached. They came to us to rebuild their website and modernize their brand for a global undertaking. They have huge ambitions and it was clear that their original website could not carry their brand to the heights they envisioned. So, we go to work redesigning their social network so they could see their vision through.

 

SERVICES WE PROVIDED IN THE WEBSITE REBUILD

  • Our graphics design team established improved brand guidelines by identifying primary, secondary, and tertiary brand colors.
  • Our marketing team analyzed past website traffic to determine the most visited areas of the site, and built a sitemap to support these findings.
  • Our graphic design team developed a mockup for the new and improved URBN Social website, citing key points of focus while spotlighting functionalities that could be improved with contemporary design principles
  • Our web development team implemented our improved design while improving website functionality to heighten the user experience. Additionally, they rebuilt URBN Social’s massive business directory while adding payment gateways and advertising opportunities to add new revenue streams.

JUST WATER

When working with a brand as established as JUST WATER, you need to find a balance between simplicity and creativity.

This holds especially true when marketing on social media, where this advertisement would live. When advertising on social media, your content needs to excite the user in as few as three seconds, otherwise, you risk losing their interest. If your ad is overly complicated, then viewers will likely keep scrolling. If your ad is too simple, then they will most definitely keep scrolling. Discovering that balance is what sets quality media apart from the ordinary.

 

In this ad for JUST WATER, we created harmony between the product, the brand, and the visual cues that make this ad so alluring. Yes, it’s simple, but more importantly, it is visually stimulating. Secondly, the ad educates viewers on the value of the product without having to say anything. And since most viewers watch video ads on social media without sound, this gives their content a significant edge. In essence, consumers can discover the same meaning whether watching silently or with sound.

 

For this video ad, we used a motion-controlled slider system to time our transitions and to keep all visual elements perfectly aligned. We also used our Macro Lens for the super crisp underwater shots. This was essential in capturing a clean, natural look in the bubbles and the fruit as they cascade underwater.

Florida Quality Roofing

Giving a family-owned business the means to expand their market.

Florida Quality Roofing has been in business since 2002, and even before that their roots dug deep into roofing craftsmanship. When the family business was passed down to the next generation, the new president and vice president contacted us to modernize their brand.

 

They were lacking quality media content and had an outdated website that needed improved functionality. After learning their business goals, we got to work creating a new website built to enhance conversions and house their new media content, of which client testimonials were a major part. Of the many services we provided, the following were the most crucial to their business:

  • Video Production
  • Website Design and Development
  • Marketing

A complete website overhaul was the most essential aspect of modernizing Florida Quality Roofing. It guided content generation and provided deep insights on what else was needed to get the job done.

COVID-19 Business Update

Navigating uncertain times with class.

The novel coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. put many businesses in a hard place. Profits shrunk overnight, existing client work was postponed or vanished entirely, and businesses’ ability to conduct their normal services was greatly limited in an effort to flatten the curve.

 

Florida Quality Roofing was not immune to this massive economic shift. However, unlike most businesses, they did not roll over and wait for this period of uncertainty to pass us by.

 

Rather, they adapted to the situation and enlisted our video production services to inform their clientele of the safety measures being employed companywide and their continued ability to provide 5-star roofing maintenance and replacement despite the circumstances.

 

Proactive business strategies such as this are the most effective way of capitalizing on the economic uptick once the time. Even though this is a rather simple message, it reassured Florida Quality Roofing’s clientele and reinforced their dedication to the community. By remaining vocal and present they put their business in a good position to capture to convert clients and improve lead generation.

Reach Out And Play

A Video Game Live Stream Fundraiser

Reach Out And Play got its start way back in 2014 during the holiday season. We invited the Fort Lauderdale community to the studio for a 12-hour live stream party to help raise money for the three featured organizations that C&I Reach supports on a monthly basis: Flutemaker Ministries, Jedidiah Learning Steps, and Watchmen on the Walls Ministries.

 

We brought the live stream back to life in March 2020 in an effort to help raise money for small local businesses that have been adversely impacted by the novel coronavirus. Every Friday for eight weeks, we invited local business owners to the studio to compete against our team for bragging rights and to encourage philanthropic giving amongst our audiences on Twitch, Youtube, and Instagram.

 

To reach a modern audience, we rebranded Reach Out And Play with new graphics and video advertising. In everything we do, we aim for the highest quality. We never settle for mediocre, so it was only right that we broke out our best production gear to create a live stream of expert quality, consistency, and clarity.

Reach Out And Play Logo Creation

Since ROAP was created way back in 2014, we needed to rebrand the fundraising initiative to reach a contemporary audience. First, we designed the logo.

 

The importance of a catchy and memorable logo cannot be overstated. Since our logo served as both brand representation and recognition, and also acted as an engaging cover for cut-scenes, we wanted to create something that was active and recognizable (to both avid and passive gamers).

 

After multiple sketches, we created a series of iconic video gaming identities that our audience would immediately connect with. Taking this a step further, we animated the logo to make it all the more exciting.

 

The animated logo is perhaps the most important asset. It is used during cutscenes to keep our audience engaged in the live stream while connecting the various platforms we stream from (Youtube, Instagram, Twitch, and Web).

Community is everything

Reach Out And Play was not solely a fundraiser. Yes, we started ROAP to support local business owners, but it also created to entertain our peers at a time when we could all use a bit of company.

 

With the assertion of social distancing and self-quarantining, we felt it was important to give our audience something to look forward to — something that would enable them to communicate with like-minded individuals in a fun and safe space.

 

We make every effort to involve our community in our work one way or another, so this was a no-brainer. To fully deliver on the entertainment component, we amped up our video game challenges with risk and reward.

 

For instance, when Greg Young from Nobleman’s Cut & Shave joined us for ROAP, he played the most advanced version of Tetris, competing again real online players for donations. And when our team members, Marc Joseph and Joseph Miller, went head-to-head in NBA Jam, the loser (in this case, both of them) had to eat spicy jalapeno and habanero peppers! And when we invited Richard Charlemon from Reyna Group Home to the live stream, we played drunken Mario Kart, because we could all learn a valuable lesson from drinking and driving (i.e., don’t do it!).

LaySee Pillow

LaySee Pillow

The Eyeglass Pillow by LaySee Pillow is the answer to a longtime annoyance.

If you wear seeing eyeglasses, then you know how uncomfortable it is to lay on your side. Pillows simply do not agree with glasses. They shift your sight, press your glasses into your skull, or completely obstruct your view of the television! Well, not anymore.

 

LaySee Pillow invents comfortable, practical solutions for everyday people. Their innovations in the home goods retail department have been a great benefit for people of all ages, especially those who wear glasses. When they were ready to launch their latest product, the Eyeglass Pillow, they came to us because of the work we did for Ghostbed and the success of their ad campaign.

 

LaySee Pillow wanted to hit the market hard with a memorable and catchy piece of visual media that would encourage users to explore their brand and make a purchase. With this goal in mind, we created a straightforward ad with eclectic characters that is both fun and succinct. We included bite-sized pieces of information on the screen in the form of text to educate consumers on the benefit of their product and leave a lasting impression.

Moss Construction

Moss Construction’s dedication to excellence and transparency has made them a household name in the construction industry.

Their honest, intelligent, and thoughtful approach to business are all distinguishing characteristics that have led to them being one of the most recognizable construction firms in operation. Their work philosophy combined with their collection of sustainable, award-winning buildings has grown their company into one of the largest in the industry.

 

The Moss team spans the entire United States with offices in Hawaii, California, Texas, and Florida. And that is who we were hired to highlight. When Moss Construction approached us, they asked for two videos:

  1. to showcase their award-winning buildings
  2. to spotlight their outstanding company culture

 

When spotlighting their company culture, we chose to inject a bit of humor into the piece. This was a key element in showing the human factor in their business and the many unique personalities that contribute to their ongoing mission. As a whole, this video sheds light on the outstanding people at the helm of their business, as well as the scope of their influence.

 

These videos were originally revealed at Moss Construction’s annual company retreat in dedication to all of their employees, but remain a valuable asset for their branding and marketing.

Koya Bay

Rendering of a building with people walking outside by the water's edge

Macken Companies

Macken Companies approached C&I Studios about commissioning a video for a luxury waterfront townhome community they were creating in North Miami Beach. They wanted something creative that would convey the lifestyle possibilities latent within their newest residential real estate development: Koya Bay.

 

The purpose was to create a video that would build intrigue about their upcoming project. Our task was to create a commercial to advertise the homes of Koya Bay to the general public and potential buyers. The only trouble was, the homes of Koya Bay—a series of ten four-level townhomes situated on the water The Isle of Eastern Shores—had yet to be built.

Showcasing the Dream

A major challenge for this production was that there was no physical building to work film. To circumvent this, our team of professionals turned to other options to focus on. 3D renders. Clever cutaways. The surrounding area. The lifestyle possibilities. The conveniences and pleasures offered by a modern habitat. By doing this, we were able to capture the essence of the environment in lieu of showing it physically.

 

We wanted the imagery to be indicative of luxury and water-side living, elevated living. Wine, cheese platters, jet skis, sunsets, day beds, bikinis, beaches, and yachts. A world of possibilities for the viewer to inhabit in their imaginations. Our pre-production team expertly secured access to these items which helped take production to the next level.

A One-Day Shoot

First we began with a script.

 

We live for creativity, but we never allow our own visions to alter the integrity of our client’s brand; our job is to help them speak in the most effective way possible. We were sure in developing this script to receive the approval of both Alan, the owner of Koya Boy, and his sister Jodi, in charge of sales for the development. In fact, their input was imperative to us.

 

Once we had the green-light, we were flat out scouting talent and locations that would unify the script and bring it to life on screen, laying out the schedule for what would be an impossibly quick turnaround—the rough shots for this entire branding video were to be caught over the span of a one-day shoot.

 

With a crew call of 5:30am, we hit the ground running. A director, a lighting crew, and cinematographers toting two cinema-grade RED 8k cameras, staged interviews with Alan and Jodi to give the video a personal touch.

 

We captured b-roll of the talent; men and women looking out of windows, gazing up at their property with pleasure, drinking champagne on a balcony, enjoying the sun on the beach or jumping into a pool underwater.

 

We caught fly-over drone footage of the beach, the tropical coastline, the marina, to really hone-in on the location—it being perhaps one of the most important factors in the real estate business.

 

All of it, caught in just one day.

 

When it was over, when the cameras stopped rolling and the talent was wrapped, the day finished—our job was not. Editing came next. Cutting and splicing raw footage in DaVinci to create a narrative. We overlaid the final cut with the voice of our narrator, and color-graded the imagery and leveled the sound until it was perfect. A complete and compelling dream.

 

Our final delivery on this project was one 15 second video, one 60 second video, and a total of 30 still images for our client to use as promotional content for their development.

 

We like to highlight that such images were lifted from rough edits and then color graded. The reason for pointing this out is that frame-grabs so in fact live up to the standard of professional photography. In this case, the high-resolution of our RED cameras allowed us to capture a whopping eight-thousand pixels per frame. That’s why the quality of these photographs are so crisp, so cinematic—indistinguishable, you might say, from those caught on a traditional photo camera.

Connecting Stantec Personnel From Around the Globe

The video live stream event that we filmed and broadcast for Stantec was used to connect team members residing in New York and London, as well as online. This interactive live streaming event allowed leadership to share newly published data and research findings pertaining to their profession, so each office could continue to guide their clients with modern insights.

 

The ability to connect all major Stantec employees via live video conference greatly enhanced their team’s ability to be involved in real-time decision making. With our live audio services included, Stantec was given the freedom to communicate with flawless quality, ultimately, elevating this engagement from a conference to an insightful conversation that produced real results. Furthermore, this significantly reduced the costs associated with bringing a global team together under one roof.

Elevating Engagement Across Borders

Stantec’s World Cities Day Technical Workshop was the largest video and audio live streaming gathering for their company to date. The success of this event marked a turning point in how their company will communicate moving forward—something our team is very proud to have been a part of.

 

Now that they have the option to bring their team together flawlessly and with little to no disruption to daily productivity, they can increase the frequency of these company-wide gatherings. This is a great asset to their business as they will be better equipped to share insights once they become available, as well as keep their team focused on a common goal: improving the quality of life for communities around the globe.
