Video Studio upstairs?
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 [...]
Our Orange County Video Studio
You need something filmed? We've got you covered! From our full, wall to floor green screen capabilities. To our full lighting grid and crew to help bring your vision to life. At AVANT, we know it's important for your footage to look good. So, that is why our Orange County video studio is the perfect place for all of your video needs. Just this last week, our clients at The Boxer Law Group needed some video work done for their website. They wanted to bring in the element of one of their lawyers doing a walk on, introduction for visitors coming to the site. So, the perfect solution was to head on over to our green screen facility, set up the teleprompter with their script, and shoot with our high definition cameras to capture a stunning image. But, the process didn't stop there.
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.
Voice Overs Done Right
At AVANT we pride ourselves on the quality of our work and the care and attention we give to every project. No where is this more evident than in our meticulous handling of voice over sessions. Recently we recorded voice-overs as part of an ongoing project for a children's educational DVD series. The producers wanted a variety of voices to be represented, male and female, old and young. How young you ask? Joining our regular voice-over talent pool was 9-year-old Olivia, performing her first-ever professional voice-over session.
Green Screen Magic: Matching Reality to 3D
An important component of creating a convincing green-screen composite is careful selection and adjustment of the virtual background placed behind the talent. At AVANT we have perfected the art of matching 3D rendered imagery with live-action footage...
Television History to DVD
Remember when there was no reality TV? Remember when television consisted of timeless stand up and sketches? Sid Caesar was a genius who took television to the next level in the late 1960's with his show "Caesar's Hour". Well, over 50 years later, Sid is now splashed on AVANT's monitors as we help prepare the PBS show that reunited the Caesar writing team to soon be released on DVD. Caesar's Hour was a live, hour-long American sketch comedy television program that aired on NBC from 1954 until 1957. The program starred, among others, Sid Caesar, Nanette Fabray, Carl Reiner, Howard Morris, Janet Blair and Milt Kamen. PBS brought this incredible team back together in 1996 for a special event at the Writers Guild Theater in Los Angeles, CA. The evening's events eventually broadcasted on PBS under the title "Caesar's Writers". Now, AVANT has the opportunity to be a part of the team to bring this historic production back to life by creating the DVD to master for duplication and worldwide sales. WOW!
From Green Screen to Video Editing
Every week it seems like a new production is coming to our Orange County video production facilities to utilize the green screen studio. From indie bands, to non-profits, to babies....yes, you read that right, babies! This last week, we got to have the young cast of a new DVD series to help babies learn how to read. So, with about ten kids under the ages of two scattered throughout our offices we had our hands full. Place on the green screen floor, shoot with our high-definition camera, then transfer the footage to our Final Cut Pro system and immediately start piecing the scenes together. Video editing is one thing, video editing with green screen footage is another.
Orange County Video…as in “The OC”
Yes, AVANT is located in Orange County, CA...or shall we say "The OC." Yes, AVANT is located in the heart of Costa Mesa with our green screen studio, multiple video editing bays and high-definition camera. Yet, what does it take to create Orange County video for clients that need a compelling project that is going to shine. Well, let's break things down.... At AVANT we create. At AVANT we connect. At AVANT we define. But, what does that mean for our clients who need a corporate video, non-profit fund raising video or website that can be found on Google? Well, let's break things down even further...
Video Production with a Purpose
We love our clients! From national broadcasts to corporate production and non-profit promos, we have a passion to bring our clients projects and ideas to life. Yet, it's always great when a project comes to our Orange County video studio that helps us reflect on our own lives. That's what we get with the monthly green screen shoots we do with Cloud Townsend Resources.
Video Production On-Location
One of the perks of having our video production facility is getting to go beyond the studio and record video on-location all around Orange County. Such was the case with our most recent high-definition video [...]
