Phil Lucero Productions

Here’s the new e-flier postcard for Transmission Studio in Denver.  As you can see, we are making great strides in the buildout of our new video, film and photography studio.  The facility features a 25 x 30 corner soundstage, a 15 x 15 green cyc wall, a 20ft ceiling with light grid, green room, 2 FCP edit suites and producer’s offices with phones, fax, copier and wi-fi.  We are still working on the control room for multi-camera switching and live production and we will soon have a third, smaller stage for more intimate production.  We have multiple lighting and grip packages available, as well as several 2/3 inch broadcast television camera formats including BetaSP and DVCProHD.

The studio is also available for private events including parties, meetings, classes, art shows and seminars.  Please contact Vera for more information and our introductory rates.

Phil Lucero Productions – Presenting One Business Connection Netskills ’09

This is a short promotional video produced for One Business Connection’s 2009 Netskills event (www.onebusiness.com). We were originally asked to tape four speakers at this event to put together some informational/instructional videos of the presentations for the 1BC members. Greg Petri wanted to put these videos on the website and possibly sell them as DVDs. After the presentations, I moved through the room interviewing exhibitors about their memberships in the networking group. This is how the video turned out. Again, this was a no budget production, but we captured some great commentary and I believe that the people we put into the piece were genuinely happy about their effort and turnout at the affair. It is short, but complete!

We produced this video before we obtained our HD camera, so it was shot on broadcast BetaSP in 16×9 format using the Sony DXC-D30WS camera and posted on our Final Cut Pro 2 editing system. The files were exported using Quicktime’s export for web function and delivered via FTP to the One Business Connection website. The biggest challenges we faced were sound and lighting in this small venue at the Indian Tree Golf Course in Arvada, Colorado. For the speakers we used two Arri 1K Fresnel lights flooded out to fill the stage. The speakers had a handheld mic to work with and, although this was not their favorite option, it was the best choice since we couldn’t afford to bring in an audio tech and stage manager. For the promotional piece I used a Pag sungun camera light and hardwired Sennheiser K66 shotgun microphone to capture the best sound in a noisy environment. I really treated it like a news package, run and gun, so that we were mobile and could get the best possible pictures and sound in tight quarters.

Smiles Change Lives is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping young people from low-income families obtain orthodontic services they would, otherwise, not be able to afford. PL Productions was asked by our friend and SCL volunteer Jessica George to tape Dr. Hilary Nieberg as she put a brand new set of braces on Colorado’s first SCL patient Breeanna Herrera. After we shot the appointment we went back into the edit bay and cut a short promotional piece highlighting the group and the process.

This was one of the first videos we shot on the new Panasonic HDX900 HD camera. Everything was recorded to a Focus Enhancements Firestore FS-100 DTE drive and posted on the Final Cut Pro 6 workstation in our new offices at Colorado’s best photo/video/film studio Transmission Studio in Denver (TransmissionStudio.net). Smiles Change Lives (www.smileschangelives.org) posted the video on YouTube (www.youtube.com/smileschangelives) and now has 90 views.

Please visit their site by clicking on the image and consider donating to this worthwhile cause. as you can see in the newsletter, they are trying to help out many more young people who need orthodontic treatment.

For those of you wondering why I don’t put the entire match up on YouTube. This is due to the fact that YouTube only allows a maximum of ten minutes to be uploaded. Even though these matches are only a fraction over ten, YouTube still declines them because PL Productions and TwisteeTV are not eligible to be in the YouTube Partner program because we do not have enough subscribers. If you would like to see the entire match on YouTube, tell everyone you know to go to our channel (PhilLuceroPro) and subscribe to it. Or write to YouTube and let them know how stupid their policy is.
