A recent on-location video production shoot. What made this different was the location. Just upstairs from the Avant Studio is a kitchen. The client needed footage of a promotional product that required a kitchen look and microwave. The footage is part of a commercial to be aired in multiple national TV markets as well as online. Bon appétit!

Website Development…Orange County Style
When you think of Orange County, you think of the beach, perfect weather and…traffic! So, how does that interpret for the web? Beautiful visuals, inviting layout and…traffic. Every detail matters and, at AVANT, we make that our first priority. So, for our latest website that we built for Cloud-Townsend Resources, we got our inspiration from outside our green screen studio and into our surroundings….Orange County.
The Beach
Every website needs to be visually enticing. Don’t have this in place and your visitors will immediately leave, discredit your persona or consider your focus to be spam. The solution? The beach! We made sure the Cloud-Townsend Resources site was a place you might want to lay out your beach towel and spend some time looking around. A place that you feel relaxed. A place to discover new things. A place to connect with materials that helps you go back to life relaxed and inspired.
Perfect Weather
No one wants to be blasted by a blizzard when they open the front door. Same goes for a website. No website visitor wants to be shocked when they go to the homepage of a website that is based on relationship, self and spiritual help. They want to feel the warmth of the sun on their shoulders and not the boredom of being snowed in. The solution? Create perfect weather on a website. Great aesthetics. Warm and inviting colors. A layout where a visitor can get out and find what they are looking for.
Traffic
Orange County is known for it’s traffic. When the clock strikes 4pm, you’ll be spending at least an hour trying to travel 10 miles on the 405 freeway. Yet, for a website, traffic is embraced. Yes, embraced! Because what good is a website we build for a client if there is no one visiting it. The solution? Well, these are secrets we definitely won’t be giving away. But, rest assure that we make sure that all the websites we build begin with the key ingredients of search engine optimization right from the beginning. We make sure that your website is built in a way that invites Google to the party. We make sure that your website has the solid content that helps you get found.

Vanguard University Lighting Workshop
Lights. Camera. Students!
We recently had 20 Vanguard University students at our Orange County video studio to learn the basic of good lighting and beyond. These future filmmakers got a boot camp style seminar on how to create fast, simple and effective lighting techniques without a big budget or crew. AVANT’s Executive Director, Clark Severson, was off and running with creating real-world situations through demonstrations and hands-on practices with setups of our production facility’s lighting grid, equipment and green screen. The result? These students are now confident in creating polished and dynamic lighting that set the mood and capture an audience.
What started with questions like, “where should I put the light?” or “how do I get rid of that shadow?” Well, with Clark’s expertise and over 20 years of lighting video projects all throughout Orange County, these students left the AVANT studio with a head full of great ideas for their next project.

Webinars at AVANT
Webinars are fast becoming the most exciting and and sought-after training experience on the internet. Why read a boring online tutorial or travel to a hotel for a seminar when you can log in and connect from home? Webinar participants don’t just watch your message, they engage in a dialogue with your presenters, asking questions online and taking polls with results presented in real-time.
At AVANT we recognize the power of webinars to deliver your message in a personal but powerful way. We have recently invested both time and capital in outfitting our Orange County green-screen studio and facility with everything you need to run a successful webinar.

Website Development to Harness Users
The Internet can be overwhelming… Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Tumblr, etc. Sometimes it can feel like a full-time job just managing all your different accounts. Yet, what if a website could be the driving force to help heal your personal life? No, we’re not talking about the latest dating craze. We’re talking about Cloud-Townsend Resources – the latest project to come through to our Orange County production facility; building an entirely new web presence and media-delivery platform for the personal growth and development gurus.
At AVANT we don’t believe in websites, we believe in Movements… especially when dealing with Cloud Townsend’s target audience who are seeking resources to help heal from a hurtful past and ensure a healthier future. A Movement to help change lives. So, this just can’t be a simple, 5-page website for the two NY Times bestselling authors who have sold nearly 5 million books. This has to be an entirely new platform with data-driven strategies, a complete new branding plan with over 4oo products and a new infrastructure for digital downloads, along with intuitive navigation that creates a seamless visitor experience to ensure success.
Definitely not an easy task, but the AVANT team is truly excited about the process. After all, we value our work and the results we achieve for each and every client. For the web, we understand the need to connect immediately with people because web visitors start to build a relationship with a website from the very first click. Trust. Loyalty. Friendship. Security. What is the last website you visited telling you? What is the AVANT website telling you? Give us a call and let’s chat!
