When asked why he would give up the all of the Hollywood perks to work in Northern California, Swanson explained, “I was ready for a change. I enjoy the vibe…

14 Sep GetSafe- A Little Bit of Comedy

Customer Story, Production, Comedy | admin

When GetSafe asked us to come up with a video to help differentiate them from their competition, we developed three original treatments and were thrilled that they decided to go with a comedic approach.   The “do-it-yourself” home security product market is now a very competitive and crowded space so we needed GetSafe’s video stand out in the crowd. No better way than with a little bit of comedy! GetSafe’s story is told through a young couple and thee technologically-inept in-laws. Comical, yet relatable scenarios, intercut with shots of the product in action, engage the viewer- and allow us to…

Uncategorized | admin

Have you seen our Grammarly video: First Day, Second Guess? With over 110-million views on the original project, we had the opportunity to work with Grammarly again. This time around, we shot 4 different videos featuring an eclectic cast of characters! Yes– we shot 4 different spots, each looking at featuring that one crazy colleague. The characters might have been a little hyperbolic, but that’s what makes them so fun! The videos featured a master knitter, an early adopter, a techie, and a couple of coffee snobs. Filming multiple videos in one day can be tricky, which means there has to be a lot…

Last year, Studio B and UC Berkeley’s Lawrence Hall of Science teamed up to create an educational video series for middle schoolers. Headed up by UC Berkeley’s executive producer, Kathryn Quigley, the series consisted of  23 videos, spanning a wide range of subjects within the sciences.  Our challenge for the series was to spark the imagination of the students as we introduced these concepts.

18 Jan Stories from the Set: Studio B and Grammarly

Uncategorized | admin

Back in November, Studio B worked on a web and broadcast spot for Grammarly. Some of our team was already familiar with the plugin, so we were excited to be working with a company that we loved. For those who don’t know about Grammarly, it’s a free plugin that corrects grammar, spelling, and vocabulary, wherever you want to write! It’s pretty awesome. We showed how Grammarly can help in everyday life, through our protagonist, Lily. It’s her first day of work and Grammarly helps her “write at the speed of life” as she navigates customer emails, tweets, and Facebook messages….
