Tailing The Dog Whisperer

Warner Bros. unleashed another great assignment on our San Diego video production company -- working with Cesar Millan, TV's "Dog Whisperer." Cesar was in town to spend the weekend with contest winners in his Great Dog Adventure, which included an hour-long "pack" walk and other fun activities for dogs and owners. Our San Diego video crew shot fantastic footage of the Dog Whisperer working his magic on all breeds of dogs -- including the famous Scooby-Doo, as the Great Dane learned how to overcome his fear of ghosts!

Fast, Furious and Live!

We love working fast and going live, and our latest San Diego video production combined both -- a live shot for Speed Channel, the Fox-owned cable channel devoted to motorsports and auto racing. Shooting in HD, we set up a live talkback interview with pro motorcycle racer Josh Hayes for the Speed Channel show, "Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain." Josh answered questions about his AMA Superbike series and gave a health update on his wife, Melissa Paris, also a pro motorcycle racer, who's recovering from recent surgery. You can catch portions of Josh's live interview on speedtv.com.

Got Junk In Your Trunk?

Clocks, carpets, cradles, candlesticks -- that's just a fraction of the interesting stuff our San Diego video crew spotted while shooting behind-the-scenes of PBS's popular "Antiques Roadshow." This San Diego video production took place at the bayfront Convention Center, where hundreds of people toted their treasures for the show's expert appraisers to evaluate. This San Diego producer heard dozens of stories from people who dug through their garages and storage units in hopes of finding out their items were valuable. An Orange County woman showed off a tapestry that supposedly belonged to George Washington, while another man brought in a beautiful carved wooden lion. Though some left the roadshow dejected, we watched several others head home with ear-to-ear grins. That's my kind of recycling!

On A Roll at the San Diego Rock 'N Roll Marathon

Had a blast with "Entertainment Tonight's" Samantha Harris and 30,000 runners at the 13th Annual San Diego Rock 'N Roll Marathon/Half Marathon! This San Diego video production put us atop a raised platform at the starting line, where Samantha handled hosting duties and sent the runners off on their 26.2 and 13.1-mile journeys. Bands played at every mile along the scenic course to keep the athletes energized. You can catch our San Diego HD video on Monday's "Entertainment Tonight."
