Two days before a shoot @ the Adobe headquarters in San Jose, I was asked to be Jane’s assistant director – which in production speak – was to make sure the crew pulled off all the shots we’ve spent weeks dreaming about – on time. Two years ago I would have panicked. But in today’s digital candyland of solutions-for-everything, I knew there was an app I could rely on: Shotlister. Four hours later, I had uploaded Jane’s shot list, assigned times to every scene, and exported our shoot schedule. When you’re making videos with us @ Studio B, you will…

In June, we were given the opportunity to work with Sephora University to create an internal training video. The goal for this video was to get Sephora employees excited about their new, in-house line of Pro Brushes, and we were excited too!  We really wanted to represent the brushes with elegance, and we think the end result was just that: The video was shot in Downtown San Francisco at the Sephora Test Store.

For this customer story, we used an ‘audio’ only interview approach, so instead of capturing…
