Propel is back and ready for action! We were thrilled and honored when the fine folks at Propel requested we create a spot for this amazing Batman Batwing RC Drone. We spent weeks in pre production building the set in our studio. Based off of storyboards by Director Jason Wada, this miniature city was built inside our studio by Alan Agazarian. With 25 small buildings complete with interior lighting, city streets, stop lights and cars, Jason and Alan combined their talents to create the...

TBLARE Media has been shooting aerial footage in one form or another for nearly 7 years. As the technology progressed and changed – including the government regulations – we found a nice niche with the products of DJI. We’ve used the Inspire 1 for a few years now and have become very confident and comfortable with the system. It is a dream to use for video production professionals for several reasons: It allows for two operators to control the rig simultaneously. This means that one...

When Clear Channel contacted us to do a video about signs in an airport, it seemed like something that could be tough to make visually compelling. However with the Panasonic GH4, the DJI Ronin, some creative angles, TimeLapses and slick editing, we were able to turn it into a pretty dynamic piece. Justin McAleece and Vince Cosentino brought it to life on set and it was posted by Jason Wada. To view more of our work please view our portfolio at:...

KeepKey is a hardware wallet designed to store and secure bitcoin while protecting them from virtual attacks such as malware and viruses. Our Seattle production team met with the KeepKey gurus where their Senior Software Engineer, Kenneth Heutmaker, provided us with all the tech specs as well as acted as the onscreen talent. Utilizing our Red Epic Dragon Camera with Kowa Anamorphic lenses our Director, Ryan Reese, and DP, Justin McAleece envisioned visually compelling movements on each and...

When we set out to do a video like this we ask ourselves one question: What would I want to see if I were nine years old? The answer is this commercial. We’re grown ups who not only get to play with toys, but get to build forts and buy smoke bombs and use army men to help us play with those toys! We did this video for Propel Toys to help promote their newest creation the Laser Force RC Assault Tanks. This video stars our very own Vince Cosentino and his son Jimmy. We shot it with our Epic...

Deli Delicious is a, well... Delicious Deli that started in Fresno and has since expanded to a multitude of locations in the Valley and beyond. We had the honor of shooting their very first television commercial and were happy to include so many local actors and even the parents of the director! We love how the spot turned out and will be doing plenty more with this great local business. Justin and Ian McAleece shot the spot with the help of local grip Edward Cabrera.

Shooting in Olympia? Making a guy fly? A beautiful house on the beach? Why not! This was quite an exciting production for us not only because we got to try some tricks that we don’t usually get to but also because we’re quite pleased with the final end product. KK BOLD – an advertising agency out of North Dakota was our client for this one and they brought not only a great concept to the table but a great attitude as well. The spot was lensed on the RED Epic Dragon camera with Zeiss...

Yosemite Ranch is one of Fresno’s finest steak houses and it starts from the top down. As you can see from this commercial the owner Dave Fansler is not only hands on but head strong about his approach to great steaks and a great dining experience. This is the second spot in the campaign we worked on for The Fansler Group and will soon be joined by a brand new commercial for Pismo’s Coastal Grill. These spots were Produced and Directed by Windsong Productions and shot by Kyle Gentz and...

When Vladimir Boom, a famous Russian singer, songwriter and nightclub owner first reached out to us, there was some cause for concern. Boom disclosed that he had immigrated to America illegally through Mexico and this video was critical to his plan to reach stardom in the states. While Vladimir Boom is a fictitious character Blare Media produced this video for real! Directed by Johnny Soto with Blare’s Orange County crew, we made this a truly fun OC music video.
