17 Feb GoPro – Great Things Come in Small Packages

Uncategorized, Production | Tim

When considering what equipment to use to create the highest quality content, we often think bigger is better. However, this is becoming a common misconception, as highlighted by our Rentals Manager and Crew Services Coordinator Dan Williams in the Rentals Blog last month. Here in the production department, we’re less focused on the equipment, but we do think it’s key to be up to date on the latest developments. Check out an excerpt from Dan’s post below —  If there’s one thing to gather from the video products announced at the Consumer Electronics Show last week, it’s that “4k” is…

10 Feb Our Favorite Places to Film in the San Francisco Bay Area: Part 2

Production | Tim

HBO’s new show, Looking, features the San Francisco Bay Area as a major supporting character, highlighting Oakland, the City, and even the USS Hornet. Unlike most shows set in the Bay Area, Looking is actually shot on location, (see Berkeley-based, Parenthood, shot in Southern California). The show does a great job at capturing over 40 locations in the Bay, showcasing some of the grittier areas and straying away from the typical postcard portrayal of the area, according to the East Bay Times. Here at Studio B Films, we have been shooting in the Bay Area for over 20 years, and continue to…

04 Feb The Value of Shooting and Webcasting your Company’s Quarterly Meetings

Uncategorized | Tim

Every quarter Studio B Films shoots, edits and web casts Adobe’s quarterly meetings for internal employees. Is this additional expense for a company justified?  The answer is yes, because ultimately is good for their bottom line. This blog explains why. Only so many people can physically be in attendance at the actual meeting so an internal web cast is a great way to get it out to many more employees. In the case of Adobe Inc. which currently has over ten thousand employees worldwide, there is a great benefit for all of the employees to hear about the company’s goals…

03 Feb Measuring the ROI of Video Marketing

Marketing | Tim

If you’ve looked into video marketing, even a small amount, you’ve probably gathered that it’s tough to measure exactly how videos help your bottom line. There are a hundred different metrics you can track for your video itself- how many views it got, how many repeat viewings, how many comments, the quality of the comments and discussion, how many times it’s been shared over various social media networks, page views and bounce rate statistics on webpages it’s been embedded into… and the list goes on. All of these things are great. But most of the time, it’s difficult, if not…
