Network Affiliates – Personal Injury Testimonial

, ,

http://vimeo.com/23273160 agency | Network Affiliates editor | Matt Struck audio engineer | Kirk Clausen Testimonials are a great way to express the personal feelings of how a product or service has impacted an individual. The benefit of this particular series of testimonials was that they were going to be used on the internet, thus not being constricted to the 30 second requirement of a typical broadcast commercial. The footage was shot in HD on a green screen background. This, along with it being finished for the web, provided the advantage of resizing the footage at each cut and compositing the subject over a faux environment with changing depth of field. In turn, this provided the power editing effect of tight shots to really express the deep emotions of the testimonial and cutting wide shots to avoid jump cuts.

Boston Market – Lunch for Lunch

, , , , , , ,

Cameron Christopher Thomas Advertising recently recruited Walk the Line Films and Crosspoint to execute two new Boston Market spots. Walk the Line Films’ Director of Photography, Roger Sackett, shot all food footage on a Sony EX1 using a lens adapter to accommodate the use of film primes. The results are stunning and look remarkably close to film, at a fraction of the cost. From there, Crosspoint editor, Luke Bishop, integrated the Sony XDCAM with a graphical treatment created in Adobe After Effects and assembled the piece in Apple’s Final Cut Pro. The spots were then sent to colorist, Eric Anolin, to be graded in Filmlight’s Baselight ONE. The digital files effortlessly transferred between the two suites using XML and were conformed in Baselight for finishing in AVID DS. Donald Cosiglia added all the finishing touches, including 3D, to finish the spot. client | Boston Market agency | CCT Advertising production co | Walk the Line Films edit, graphics| Luke Bishop, Crosspoint color | Eric Anolin, Crosspoint finish edit, graphics | Donald Corsiglia, Crosspoint sound | Rocky Mountain Recorders
