With the recent price drop from Black Magic cameras on it's little Pocket Cinema camera (we say little but it packs a punch film look wise) Orange St Films took advantage and recently purchased one.  It came in the mail today and we've been toying around with it trying to get all the settings and latest firmware updates together.  We've seen some very cool footage shot by this little camera and will soon be testing it out for ourselves and posting the video.  We also have a lot of new gear on the way and hope to continue to improve the look of our videos for all clients we are fortunate enough to work with.  We are excited about the BMPCC and hope it can be a asset to the company for many years to come.  Stay tuned for the footage (which this little guy can now shoot RAW, yay) as we will be posting soon.  Call or email for all your production needs. 

We recently produced another :30 TV Spot for an educational institution and feel the commercial turned out really well.  The client was happy and Orange St Films delivered on the exact type of message the school was trying to get out to the general public to raise awareness of their school and recruit new students.  It's always pleasing to us to have a vision and then to be allowed by a client to bring that vision to life.  Take a look for yourself and let us know what you think about the commercial.

Video is very powerful.  We were around a group of people the other day and one asked, "Have you heard that new song from so and so?"  The other responded, "No."  Then the one said, "Well it's the number one song on #iTunes after one day."  And then what stuck out was what the second person said.  They said, "iTunes?  I don't even remember the last time I've been on there.  If I want to hear a new song I'll just go to #Youtube and listen to it."  We thought that was pretty remarkable that a video website has become so popular and so mainstream and in many cases have turned relatively unknowns into well known celebrities....(some we wish would've never happened, see #justinbieber).  But anyways, we digress, video is a very powerful medium and there's no better way, in our minds, to communicate your message (ie. radio, still photography, smoke signals, etc.)  than video.  It's why we continue to do what we do, we thrive off of creating something from nothing and it's a beautiful thing when a shoot comes together and turns into a piece of cohesive art.  Call us for all your video needs.

Things could've gotten ugly last week for North Carolina and many states up and down the east coast when Hurricane Arthur threatened many.  Thankfully the damage was minimal and there was no loss of life (to our knowledge).  We decided to take our camera out to the beach when the Hurricane grazed the NC coast last Thursday, July 3.  Winds were probably around 50-70mph and not sure why we did it but we got some pretty good footage.  Well here take a look for yourself.
