Spy Optics Waffle Ride

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 23:23:49 +0000

The good folks at Spy Optics hosted a very fun to watch, painful to ride, 200 kilometer road race with 9000 feet of elevation gain and a lot of Belgian waffles. Starting in Carlsbad, Ca and then touring though Oceanside, Fallbrook, Rainbow and Escondido, the race took us through some of San Diego’s amazing hidden gems at an amazing clip, I might add. Those guys haul some serious booty on those bikes. It was a struggle to keep up with them in the car. I have to say, the tiny, oak canopied roads that wind through the avocado groves of Rainbow and Valley Center are well worth a drive when you have a sunny Saturday to spare. You can see some of the photos and video on Spy’s BWR Facebook Page We were lucky enough to be there for all the events with my good friend Adam Klarer from Visual Artists. It brought back good memories from when we filmed the Tour of California Race.

I’m very happy to have finally re-launched the website, which was in dire need of some serious reconstructive surgery. We’ll be introducing lots of new content over the next few weeks, so check back soon.

Matt Battiata – Short Sale Videos from Digital Design Factory on Vimeo.

We had the pleasure of helping San Diego real estate stalwart Matt Battiata bring his very popular “short sale” seminar to a larger web audience by creating a series of “short sale” training videos. Always the consummate speaker, Matt knocked them out of the park in record time. The man knows his material. Filming him on green screen gave us a lot of flexibility to change logos and backgrounds.

We really enjoyed filming a promotional video for The Light Garden who make beautful candles, trees and other decorative objects illuminated by low voltage LED’s. A big thank you out to Studio Duva for including us on this shoot.

David Kirkpatrick Interview

David Kirkpatrick Interview For Message Systems from Digital Design Factory on Vimeo.

One thing we love about our jobs is the serendipitous access to talented people, ideas and fascinating subject matter that comes from filming videos for all of our diverse clientelle. We really never know what we film next: underwater IMAX directors, medical researchers, athletes, and, yes, sometimes less glamorous subject matter like Insurance Seminars. Filming his keynote speech and interviewing technology journalist and author of The Facebook Effect David Kirkpatrick was one of the interesting ones. He gave a great keynote speech at Message Systems Interact Conference in San Diego and we caught up with him afterwords for an interview.

CSI Visual Management from Digital Design Factory on Vimeo.

Just wrapped up a great day of filming in the green screen studio with Melissa Tan, who’s ability to flawlessly read huge volumes of dialogue on camera never ceases to astound me. We filmed several hours of a training video for an online learning course and she flew through the material in record time. Can’t ask for more than that.
