19 Jan A Cheeky Video to Make an Audience Blush

Uncategorized | Tim

  We love working with companies that aren’t afraid to push boundaries. So it was quite a treat to have Benefit cosmetics come to us with a special task: “Show our product in a way that will make our audience blush!” We got right to the drawing board shooting for something silly, sassy, and a little bit racy. Starting with their fun and beautiful marketing imagery, a lovely angel sitting in heavenly light, we imagined what this Angel’s back-story might be. How did she get there? What was she like before she became an angel? How did her face get…

05 Dec Studio B is in an Empire State of Mind

Uncategorized | Tim

In addition to profiling each of Adobe’s brand new TouchApps, Studio B was asked to create a fast-paced, music-driven sizzle piece showcasing ALL the Touchapps now being released. Adobe inspired us with a fun piece of  high-profile music to cut to (see if you can guess the artist) not to mention a series of creative projects to play with on the tablet. Even though it was originally intended for conferences and websites, our video ended up on a digital billboard in Times Square. Our in-house editor Kevin Oliver happened to be in the big apple last month and took a…

Uncategorized | Tim

Studio B followed the yellow brick road this last month to see a wiz if ever there was – the wizards at Adobe of course. They’re releasing a series of 7 new creative software applications for touch tablets and mobile devices that all work under the same “cloud” system. Each one has its own unique purpose, but they are all seamlessly integrated to work with each other. Our team camped out at Adobe Headquarters, meeting with various product managers to produce a series of product launch pieces. Filming at Adobe’s offices in downtown SF is always a fun gig – beautiful…

29 Jul Studio B Gets Glamorous: Employee Training with Sephora

Uncategorized | Tim

Studio B director David Collier has spent a lot of time in Sephora lately, not just for their jungle red lipstick, but to produce a series of employee training videos for their staff. Each tutorial video covers a different aspect of Sephora’s retail culture, and teaches their crew how to better care for their customers while staying on top of sales. Shooting on location in various Sephora stores has been a gaffer’s dream. Each retailer is outfitted with a stellar lighting system that already makes everyone look like a movie star. We interviewed different “cast members” (sales associates) on some…

One of our beloved city’s proudest institutions, the San Francisco Symphony, hired Studio B to produce a series of videos for its “Second Century Campaign” and gala event. We were honored to work on this landmark occasion.  One of the projects was a 4-minute highly graphical sizzle video that would set the celebratory tone, honoring the orchestra’s past 100 years while looking forward to the next 100.
