Greetings from ESI Video

PIH Health Hospitals are actively seeking Residents to join their Residency Program. Due to COVID-19, they cannot tour the hospitals in person. Because of this, we've been tasked with producing virtual tours to PIH Health Whittier and Downey Hospitals. Our first set up was with PIH Health's Residency Representative as she introduces the program, using our EVA-1 kit alongside our Aputure C300d.

Afterwards, we switched between the EVA-1 as well as the Panasonic GH4 on a Ronin Gimbal for cinematic B roll shots. We covered several special facilities as well as Residents discussing and visiting their many hospital patients. We returned at a later date to capture stunning exterior shots using our drone, ensuring equal coverage of both hospital locations.

Marubeni Citizen-Cincom Inc. Products Live Event

Marubeni Citizen-Cincom (MCC) manufactures large scale CNC production equipment for the creation of precision parts. The ESI team was given the task of helping create and run a detailed live show, showing off their products as well as their many functions and features.

The live show intended to switch from live speakers to pre-made videos showing the machinery in action. To accomplish this, we first visited MCC in order to acquire high quality footage of their machines in action. We did this using our standard lighting and video set up. After creating the various short videos, it was time to prepare for the live production.

Each demonstration required following the speakers as they showed us each side of the machine. This was Neema's first time as a field producer, and he did a great job (you can tell because he has a clipboard). Thankfully, we had an incredibly talented team, which made blocking camera movements and lighting quick and efficient. 

Richard Nixon Library Production Team

ESI has been tapped by the Richard Nixon Library and Birthplace as the contract video production team for their live streaming events. Above, we helped in the production of the EPA's 50th Anniversary, and below, we manned the in-house studio for a live video interview between Hugh Hewitt (remote call-in) and Donald Trump Jr. (in-studio).

CHOC's Message to Hyundai

Hyundai has been a generous supporter of CHOC for many years, and recently donated supplies to help administer COVID-19 tests to the public. To deliver a thank you message, we set up outside in front of the Hyundai COVID tents with Dr. Golden. Because we were shooting outside, we needed various silks and diffusers to light the scene. After preparing a complex set up, we were able to shoot our Doctor's message with professional lighting.

Another Great Month!

Amidst the COVID pandemic, we are thankful to the CHOC family for keeping us busy with various projects over the months. We would also like to extend a hand to anyone in need of video production services, whether it be in-person or virtual. ESI Video can supply professional equipment and manpower for projects of any scale. Click the link below to contact us for more details!
