Sparkhouse Strategic Brand Films team with Extreme Water Sports Company and a Water Protective Coating Developer to create the first ever commercial shot entirely with watersafe™ Apple iPhone 5s.

Sparkhouse Strategic Brand Films, a video production and marketing studio, teamed up with Liquipel™ and Fly Jet Sports to create the first commercial shot entirely on Apple’s new iPhone 5.

Filmed in the backbay of Newport Beach, the Sparkhouse team used iPhone 5s protected by Liquipel’s Level 3 watersafe™ coating to create the commercial. A coated iPhone 5 was attached to a Fly Jet Sports FlyBoard®, a water sports apparatus providing underwater and airborne propulsion capable of levitating the wakeboard-like Flyboard® up to 30 feet in the air. Additional footage was captured by cameramen armed with additional Liquipeled iPhone 5s in the water underneath the board, on the shore, and on a jet ski.
Check out the Behind the Scenes video here.

“Thanks to Liquipel’s watersafe™ coating, we were able to take advantage of the iPhone 5’s small size and versatility without worrying about the iPhones getting wet,” said Torrey Tayenaka, Founder/CEO of Sparkhouse. “The result was a beautiful and dynamic commercial really showcasing the exciting new water sport.”

Orange County based Liquipel™ developed a revolutionary process that applies its watersafe™ coating to electronic devices to protect them in the event of accidental exposure to liquids. Fly Jet Sports is an Orange County based dealer and distributor of extreme water sports equipment as well as an instructional center for the FlyBoard®.

Questions to ask when hiring a Video Production Company

There are many reasons why a business should give hiring a video production company a thought. Video marketing is showing great potentials when it comes to making a successful business. No wonder the tool is getting more and more popular among online businesses. If you’re a budding entrepreneur or you have been dreaming of running your own business online, then this can be extremely beneficial. Here are a few important factors to deliberate on when choosing the right video company.

These days, finding a web video producer can be very easy. Due to the growing popularity of web videos, companies in producing them have started mushrooming too. While having a lot of options can be beneficial to an extent, it can be equally detrimental. See, having more choices means having bigger room for mistakes.

Now, practicing discretion involves many things but one is being aware of what a certain video producer is really like. Read the ads, check out the website, and measure the abilities of its people. Can they answer your questions thoroughly? Are they able to communicate clearly? Paying attention to all these will help you formulate a good picture of what a specific video maker is truly like.

A good web video production company should have skilled people in the operation. No matter how pricey and popular the company is, it won’t matter unless it has heads that think and hands that work. Even if it has all the state-of-the-art equipment but not have competent workers, it can’t be good.

In order to gauge competency, one of the best things to do is ask the video production company for their portfolio in driving traffic. Satisfied clients would surely be more than willing to share the project they have had with an excellent video producer, so there can’t be any issue on privacy. Besides, the video maker themselves would surely have a database of all their projects. If the projects are something to be proud of, there shouldn’t be any reason why you can’t see them.

Another thing you should look for in a video production is the passion of its people for the job. Good video producers aren’t just after the revenue, they are genuinely concerned about the client’s needs and wants too. When they work, their joy is obvious. Passion is what drives them to be original and creative. If your video producer can’t wait to go home while still working on a production, then something must be wrong with him or her. You should know what to do better if you come across someone like this.

Another thing you have to take into account is the cost effectiveness of a web video making company. Its service is expected to be quite costly, but, if the result is great, then the price must just be realistic.

These are what you should consider when looking for a video production company. Practicing caution can never be overemphasized when it comes to making decisions like this. However, once you have made the right choice, it would remain to be one of the greatest favors you could ever do for your business.

We are in the process of producing 3 different videos for a reputable smoked fish company located in Williamsburg Brooklyn. “Service” is in business for 75 years, producing Brooklyn’s best Smoked Fish. Right from the beginning, the founders were obsessed with service. So much so, they put it in their company name! “Service”. One of Services clients is Zabars, andwe had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Saul Zabar himself. We had a great chat about “Service” and about Zabars huge success in the food industry.

The crew had an amazing time shooting all day, smelling the fish and waiting for a taste. You guest it right, at lunch time, the owner Jay, arranged hot bagels and fresh smoked salmon right from the processing line, it was delicious! The videos will be posted in a few days

What about the story line?

Great article written by R/Com Creative we would like to share with you

YouTube has changed the world of video. Sixty minutes of video are uploaded every minute. More than four billion videos are watched every day. 700 videos are shared via Twitter every minute. The statistics blow the previous set away every week.

As a distribution outlet, you can make money as a film producer. Create a channel, post something worth watching (key issue), and register for sharing revenue. There are numerous YouTube producers earning six figures every year.

Vimeo has added to the video distribution model, focusing on technology, film examples, and HD quality. There are countless other distribution outlets, and not everyone is on the mark. Sony’s Crackle network is coined as an entertainment destination. It needs to lose the corporate veil if it is to really catch on. Hulu is everything that Crackle is not. And the best way to watch it is on Sony’s PlayStation. What? What is up with Sony? But, I digress…

So, where does this leave those of us who create content? The answer is: unlimited potential, remarkable access, and the need to be a good storyteller remains constant.

From a technology perspective, things are looking pretty good out there. HD cameras have become extremely inexpensive. HD lenses continue to be pricey, but overall, the tools are getting downright cheap. The GoPro device/camera (surf’s up!) is a modern miracle and allows almost anyone to create remarkable imagery for $300.00. Cheap

Have you seen Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle 2? If not – stop what you’re doing and spend eight minutes of your life saying “whoa!”

Here’s a story about a couple of motorcycle drifters who break into some off limits twisties to have some fun, and a driftin’ cop decides to chase ‘em down. It’s about eight minutes of absolute fun, with no real story or plot. You’re absorbed in the great riding, drifting, and video imagery that is being shown. And while I don’t know exactly what it cost to produce, assume it was about one tenth of what it would have cost just a few years ago. Icon Motorsports, the producer, totally gets the value of using video to market their products. In six weeks, more than eight million people have watched this video.

On the other hand…

The thing that still requires absolute talent is the storytelling process. A good story lasts long after the whiz-bang of technology has kicked the bucket. The documentary about Joseph Konyis an excellent example of the power critical thinking and powerful storytelling. While the charity behind the film certainly has an agenda, this video has blasted its way through the Internet, and with millions upon millions of viewers, mostly young people. Its outdone major blockbuster films in terms of viewership. Even Forbes is writing about how important critical thinking is relative to telling good stories, including the impact of the Kony doc.

As technology gets less expensive, the importance of quality content become more valuable, and as a result, has greater financial context as well. There’s nothing quite like a good story. I just wish we could find more of them.
