HP’s Cloud Business

Shooting again for HP in Sunnyvale, California with our awesome crew as they manage a 3-camera setup. You can see in the right foreground our video village with three monitors being fed by three 4K HD cameras. Our audio technician sits to the left as he check levels. The client is on the phone in in the background. A grip adjusts a light on the left. Two stand-ins pretend to be our talent to allow us to set eye lines and audio levels. We put neutral density (ND) filters on every pane of glass, so that we could balance the exterior lighting with the interior lighting. The final deliverable looked awesome.

IBM Twitter Partnership

Capitola Media, in conjunction with a partner of ours in New York City, Penny Bridge, shot this week at Twitter’s headquarters in downtown San Francisco for the press announcement that Twitter and IBM would be teaming up to work together. We interviewed Twitter’s CEO, Dick Costolo.

It was another BIG deal.

The agreement will help transform how businesses and institutions understand their customers, markets and trends – and inform every business decision. The alliance brings together Twitter data that distinctively represents the public pulse of the planet with IBM’s industry-leading cloud-based analytics, customer engagement platforms, and consulting services.

IBM plans to offer Twitter data as part of select cloud-based services, including IBM Watson Analytics, a new cognitive service in the palm of your hand that brings intuitive visualization and predictive capabilities to business users; and a cloud-based data refinery service that enables application developers to embed data services in applications. Entrepreneurs and software developers will also be able to integrate Twitter data into new cloud services they are building with IBM’s Watson Developer Cloud or IBM Bluemix platform-as-a-service.

IBM and Twitter will deliver a set of enterprise applications to help improve business decisions across industries and professions. The first joint solution will integrate Twitter data with IBM ExperienceOne customer engagement solutions, allowing sales, marketing, and customer service professionals to map sentiment and behavior to better engage and support their customers.

IBM Global Business Services professionals will have access to Twitter data to enrich consulting services for clients across business. Additionally, IBM and Twitter will collaborate to develop unique solutions for specific industries such as banking, consumer products, retail, and travel and transportation. The partnership will draw upon the skills of tens of thousands of IBM Global Business Services consultants and application professionals including consultants from the industry’s only integrated Strategy and Analytics practice, and IBM Interactive Experience, the world’s largest digital agency.

Wildlife Conservation

For the 6th year in a row, we worked this past weekend putting together the complete audio / visual production and post-production services the the Wildlife Conservation Network’s annual event.

WCN saves endangered species in 24 countries around the world by supporting independent wildlife conservationists. This non-profit was built on the premise that one person can truly make a difference for wildlife. WCN’s mission is to protect endangered species and preserve their natural habitats by supporting entrepreneurial conservationists who pursue innovative strategies for people and wildlife to co-exist and thrive.

Two auditoriums, 26 conservationist presenters from around the globe, 1,000 attendees and a lot of animals. We love this weekend.

Video Production at Apple

Capitola Media, in conjunction with a partner of ours in New York City, Penny Bridge, shot last week at the Apple campus for the press announcement that Apple and IBM would be teaming up to finally work together, not against each other.

It was a BIG deal.

For years the two tech giants viewed each other as fierce competitors. Steve Jobs famously posed for a portrait of himself under the IBM headquarters logo with his middle finger raised.

But lately, the two companies have really staked out different portions of the tech pie. IBM has targeted large corporations with enterprise applications, and Apple has been laser focused on the consumer. But the success of the iPad and iPhone platforms in the business world has taken many companies by surprise. IBM has noticed and is now going to work with Apple cooperatively. The two companies announced plans to codevelop new iOS apps and jointly sell and support iPhones and iPads to their enterprise customers. IBM recognizes they cannot win the device war, and Apple realizes they can expand their corporate client opportunities by partnering with a powerhouse like IBM.

At the Apple campus, we shot on two Cannon C-300s, recoding ProRes 422 directly to PIX 240i boxes. (Sorry, we can’t share the resulting video.)
