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.
The Big Picture contributes to Hope for Haiti Celebrity Telethon
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.
