Ten years ago today, February 10, 2006, Creative Liquid Productions was born. At the time, my goal was to start a creative firm that got me out of the newsroom and back in the field. Mission accomplished! In the past ten years we've grown, worked on some amazing projects, been honored with more than a dozen awards and continue to expand our services and capabilities.
I was recently asked to define "high-quality video" and it got me thinking: Shouldn't all video be quality video? Do you need the qualifier high? Regardless there are some ways to define quality or high-quality video. If you're looking to produce a video these are all things you should consider.
There’s a long standing joke in filmmaking: “We’ll fix it in post.”
You may have noticed a slight change to the logo on our website. Since we started this adventure in 2006, we've always been known as Creative Liquid Productions. In 2015, we added web services to our capabilities and now work on a variety of digital marketing projects. As part of our new office move we decided to make a small branding update.
This video was produced for the National Park Service and premiered on the one year anniversary of the Washington Monument reopening to the public. The monument was damaged by an earthquake and our team helped document the damage and the inspection prior to repairs being made. This video includes interviews with some of the engineers and park employees who were part of the assessment and repair process.
Our blog has been quiet this past summer and with good reason, we'e been busy! 2016 has been a fantastic year of telling stories and working on some incredible projects. While the year isn't over just yet, I wanted to take a moment to look at some of what we've worked on that may be of interest and some cool technology advancements that we've made this year.
Large sensor cameras are all the rage right now in production, but there are still many shoots that require a camera that is flexible in a fast moving environment. Often called ENG (Electronic News Gathering) or EFP (Electronic Field Production) cameras, we utilize a wide range of cameras for a variety of tasks.
ENG camera have many benefits that you may or may not find on digital cinema cameras. These include:
Each year Creative Liquid produces videos at dozens of meeting and events. Many of these are for federal clients, corporate organizations, non-profits and associations. To aide in budget planning we have created a series of video packages designed specifically for this type of video.
The packages include crews with basic equipment, editing of a master video, digital file for online distribution and two DVD copies. Additional services and options are available. Contact us to customize any package.
Back in January we completed a total rebuild of our IT infrastructure. At the same time we also rebuilt one of our edits suites and implemented new archiving proceedures. I thought I'd take a few minutes to go through what we did and what we learned from the experience.
At Creative Liquid we are constantly working on a variety of interesting projects for a unique mix of clients. Check out our reel and see some of the great projects we're working on. To get started on your next project give us a call at 703.459.9900 or contact us for more information.
