Ever-expanding our area of video production coverage, Peck Media took to the road two weeks ago to Visalia, CA. Visalia, also known as one of the gateways to Sequoia National Forest, is home to a top-performing Nissan car dealership. Our client, Nissan, wanted to interview the local dealership owner, Don Groppetti for a video to be shown at the National Nissan Dealer Meeting. The interview went great--fast and professional--then it was back on the road home.

Southern hospitality is no myth in the video production world. When we shot in Athens, GA the locals could not have been more gracious. We were shooting an educational documentary for Corwin Press and it required videotaping classrooms in elementary and middle schools.

The school adminstration was helpful, the teachers were very accommodating our of crew, and even the local crew we hired went the extra mile for all our requests. And, yes, the students were fascinated and, as always, most interested in the fuzzy boom mike looming over their heads.

Thank you Barnett Shoals Elementary, Hilsman Middle School, and the great leadership at the Clarke County School District. And thanks to Athens Video for the local support.

As you may know, shooting on the beach is not as relaxing as it sounds. But when a client wants the ultimate Southern California exterior, it is hard to beat the beach vibe.

Sure there was sand, and wind, and helicopter/airplane interruptions, and sand, and unwanted background figures, and sand, but our client, Outlook Amusements, got the ambiance they wanted for their interviews.

All told, it was a great beach shoot.
