New Drone Reel
Our clients have been increasing their demand for drone production. Because of this, we’ve updated our drone reel to better showcase our ability to take aerial photo and video. Our team is certified FAA Remote Pilots and carry drone insurance to cover our clients and equipment. Take a look at what we’re capable of!
Securitas USA COVID Response
We had the opportunity to help Securitas USA Pacific Region produce an important video for their current and future clients. This video focuses on their policies and procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this video, management of the Securitas USA Pacific Region detail the hard work that they are devoting to improve safety measures across all aspects of their company. With the help of the people at Securitas USA, they were able to deliver their message professionally, from the comfort of their office.
Next, we captured footage from various locations in Southern California where security officers we’re stationed. We saw firsthand the new safety protocols being implemented on the job site, and how they intend to protect people in these uncertain times. In accordance with CDC guidelines they are implementing social distancing markers, state-of-the-art body temperature scanners, and all security officers are encouraged to wear masks and gloves. This video serves as a great explanation as to how Securitas USA continues to improve.
Securitas Annual Report
Earlier this year, before the nationwide stay-at-home measures were enacted, Securitas Inc. contracted with us to produce photos for their 2019 Annual and Sustainability Report cover and internal photos. The Annual Report is sent out to shareholders worldwide, sharing the growth and future outlook of the company. We were on location at the Port of Los Angeles capturing the size and scale of the port with a drone as well as having a still photographer on the ground snapping photos of security officers patrolling the port. Securitas Inc. collaborated with the US Coast Guard and General Manager of the Port of Los Angeles to provide us access and supervision as we captured the action of Securitas’ officers.

CHOC Children's "Glass Slipper Guild" Virtual Gala Interview
ESI Video is collaborating with Children's Hospital of Orange County and one of its guilds, the Glass Slipper Guild, to produce a virtual gala which helps raise funds for the hospital. To support the virtual gala, we are in production with CHOC Children's representatives and Glass Slipper Members to make a video highlighting a truly incredible story. We interviewed two mothers that became close friends after their daughters both underwent significant heart surgery. After a successful treatment at CHOC Children's, the children are now healthy and thriving. After the interview, we captured footage of the kids playing in the park before wrapping up an eventful shoot.
For this shoot, the city of Tustin was kind enough to expedite a filming permit to let us shoot on location at Cedar Grove Park. Using our new camera the Panasonic EVA-1 we utilized the 4:2:2 10-bit V-log recording format to capture incredible colors and clarity. The Panasonic EVA-1’s 14 stops of dynamic range gave us flexibility in post-production to color grade the footage to fit our needs and style. Not only that, but our team is now able to shoot multi-camera interviews. As the quality of our production equipment grows, so does the quality and impact of our projects. We are looking forward to shooting more large productions with this powerful camera.
