Posted by TheBigPicture in Events, Staff and Crew Stories on July 1st, 2010
For the past 15 years, Louis M. Martini Winery has put on one of the most spectacular fireworks show in the Bay Area.
This show is a step above, starting with hors d’oeuvres and newly released wines, a family style dinner and finale the big show, which is choreographed to music that is playing throughout the winery garden and can be tuned into on a local radio station!
This is our favorite 4th of July event, and we’ve had the pleasure of shooting the fireworks show in HD. Check out last years footage here!
The winery is located at 254, South St. Helena Highway (Hwy 29). Call 866-549-2582 for tickets. See you there?

Presenting … Dick Bright
Posted by TheBigPicture in Events, Musicians on June 16th, 2010
Dick Bright is a talented musician and band leader that we have worked with for many years. His classy Dick Bright Orchestra has been a part of several high profile events that we’ve produced. I dug up some pictures from the archives, he’s no joke with that fiddle!
There’s a funny story to how we found out about him. As luck would have it, several years ago George saw him playing at the Pelican Inn one night with his old friend Lorin Rowan, and it turns out they live just a few blocks away from each other! What are the chances? Well they are great friends now and we are always big fans around here as well.
Check out this article in the SF Chronicle from last month! http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/05/19/DDL81D3QVV.DTL
One of his many band projects, “Club 90” has a show this Saturday, we hope to see you there!

Hope for Haiti Now – An Inspiring Success
Posted by TheBigPicture in Events, Philanthropic on January 25th, 2010
The Hope for Haiti Celebrity Telethon last Friday came together with urgency at the suggestion of George Clooney, but the amount of effort that was put forth by all involved resulted in a spectacular event that reached millions of viewers.
It was an honor for The Big Picture to donate our video and audio equipment and time and services to pull together this amazing feat of philanthropic broadcasting, which was shown not only across all major networks, but all over the world.
The effort was well worth it as not only did we have the opportunity to work with some talented industry people, including Matt Damon and Clint Eastwood, but the event itslef was a huge success, raising over $60 million dollars in aid to help those in need in Haiti.

Posted by TheBigPicture in Events, Philanthropic on January 21st, 2010
It’s hard to know where to start to help the relief effort in Haiti. News of the devastation has been overwhelming. It is wonderful to see so many different people rise to the occasion and lead their community in raising funds and awareness.
Hope for Haiti is an organization that has been trying to make a difference in Haiti for over 20 years. The level of outreach and support they provide covers clean water, education, medical services, and emergency relief.
We are pleased to offer our video production services tomorrow for the live broadcast of the Hope for Haiti celebrity telethon, organized by George Clooney. This event is bringing together many celebrities and tomorrow we will be contributing our equipment and services for the live interviews with Matt Damon and Clint Eastwood. Contributing with us is Oakland Audio Visual Services, and Neil Tanner, Inc.
As the crisis continues, more celebrity and networks are joining the cause, with the telethon set to broadcast for free across all major networks including: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and CNN; and also on BET, the CW, HBO, MTV, VH1, and CMT.
We are thrilled to donate our time and services to this event and we hope that the outcome is a huge amount of funds for those that are suffering in this horrific Quake.

Abel completes the century ride to benefit LLS
Posted by TheBigPicture in Events on October 1st, 2009
Saturday, September 19th – Abel, our director of Operations completed a century ride in Moab, Utah to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. We were proud sponsors of Team and Training, who helped him train for this event, and were excited to follow his progress.
How was this ride compared to other rides for charity that you have done?
The Moab Century was by the far the most difficult century I have ever done. Don’t get me wrong, the ride, the atmosphere, and the route were utterly amazing. But the several thousand feet of climbing was very difficult and pushed me to the limit. We started at an elevation of 4000 feet and climbed up to about 9000 feet in the first 30 miles. It was an accomplishment I will never forget.
Were you able to ride with the friends you had trained with here in the Bay Area, or was it a whole new group of people?
Riding for Team in Training was a great experience as I was able to grow as a rider and ride with a great group of people. Though our team was 8 people, we were joined by another 170 riders wearing the TNT jerseys.
What was the recovery time like? Did you have to sleep for 3 days afterwards?
After the ride, I was tired but my muscles were not sore. Riding the high altitude did cause me a lot of problems and that is what I needed the most recovery from. Breathing was very difficult and actually began to hurt as I tried to suck in air. I didn’t feel better until late the next day.
What would you suggest to someone who is trying to train to do a century ride?
If someone is planning to ride a century, I would recommend a coach or join a group like team in training. Without the support I received from the TNT coaches, I would not have developed my cycling skills and would not have been able to complete the ride.
How many times have you done these rides for charity?
This was my 3rd Charity Ride.
How did you find out about these rides and decide to participate?
I was reintroduced to Team in Training by a friend who ran a marathon with them. I realized that I could do something positive with a sport I love.
