It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since veteran anchorman Walter Cronkite passed away in July of 2009. The “Most Trusted Man in America” can be seen here with George Lang, at least a few years before that.

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

TheBigPicture — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 17:24:25 +0000

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!

The Big Picture sponsors Italian Street Painting Festival

TheBigPicture — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 17:09:10 +0000

Each year in June, local San Rafael non-profit youth organization “Youth in Arts“, transforms A street in downtown San Rafael into a canvas for the Italian Street Painting Festival. We involve ourselves with this each year in some way, and this year we sponsored a large 9′ 12′ foot piece by local artist Tricia George

This festival is a double win – it brings beauty and creativity to our community, drawing revellers from all of the Bay Area, and it raises funds for Marin Youth programs.

Twin Cities Police Department on the cutting edge with tamper-proof digital storage

TheBigPicture — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:32:46 +0000

Crime scene investigations have become more and more of an exact science. The standards for proper evidence collection are raised higher on a daily basis, with challenges from both the courts and defense attorneys alike.

SanDisk has created the SDWorm card, a tamper-proof digital storage device that we created a video for to demonstrate how it protects law enforcement officers by guaranteeing the legitimacy of evidence.

The Twin Cities Police Authority of Larkspur, California worked with us on this to set up a crime scene and provide us with testimonials on how this product could be beneficial to them. They are great people and we really enjoyed working with them. But make no mistake, if you mess around they will have you in handcuffs!

Stay tuned for the final video, and click any of the pictures below to get to the flickr album with more great shots!
