SpikeTV TombRaider Release Special

On March 5th, Crystal Dynamics released the highly anticipated reimagining of Tomb Raider. One of the great features of the game is the score. Jason Graves created “The Instrument” out of items he found in his home to score the first 15 minutes of the game! We recently filmed an interview with Jason and Geoff Keighly for this Tomb Raider special. In addition to this interview, we conducted several interviews at the Crystal Dynamics office. The show aired on Tuesday March 5th at 12.35am on SpikeTV, but is now available online: TombRaider – The Final Hours

World AIDS Day 2011

Today is World AIDS Day, a day where people have the opportunity to unite worldwide in the fight against HIV. One of the most remarkable aspects of today is the ability to uncover the real facts about AIDS as well as bust some of the myths that plague the disease and add a high degree of social stigma to those who have contracted it. Last week Chris and Kristen went to San Francisco
to film interviews with an extraordinary group of people who also happen to be HIV positive. Today these interviews, as well as others conducted in New York and Miami, will be airing every hour to introduce everyone to the faces of AIDS. I encourage everyone to check out the link before and hope you will be as moved and inspired as we were.

A Day with Vernon Davis and The San Francisco 49er’s

We couldn’t think of a better way to spend a work day than doing a live shot for ESPN at The San Francisco 49er’s practice facility in Santa Clara. George, Abel and Benny spent the day at the teams’ practice, interviewing tight end Vernon Davis. Vernon smiled through the entire shoot and was a pleasure to work with. We’re always thrilled to show our red and gold pride, especially when we’re 5-1 this season!

Shooting a quick video cameo with Captain Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger

Sometimes it’s not easy to get people to work on video production on Sundays but when one of your clients is married to Captain Chelsey “Sully” Sullenberger and you need a favor for a celebrity cameo all of us were first in line to volunteer.

Many thanks to Captain Sully, who you may know as the hero that safely landed US Airways flight 1549 into the Hudson River in 2009.  We found him to be a very kind and generous man who volunteered part of his Sunday to do a favor for The Big Picture.

Video cameos with Gavin Newsom and Bob Dutton

In our quest to find dignitaries to honor the attributes of Northern California Entrepreneurs for an upcoming event, The Big Picture has been conducting video cameos and interviews with luminaries around the Bay Area.

The Big Picturewas proud to have spent time with a couple of California’s political leaders at the Capitol in Sacramento with Lt. Governor Gavin Newson and Republican State Senator Leader Bob Dutton.

Since they represent both political ideologies within california it was quite interesting to see that there is solidarity in both their visions for the rebuilding of California’s economy.  We found them to be very sincere, eager, and energetic to rebuild California’s economy with the help of California’s business community.

We’d like to thank both Lt. Governor Gavin Newson and Republican Senate Republican Leader Bob Dutton for donating their time to our video production and allowing us to convey their message to California’s entrepreneurs.
