Our San Diego video production team jumped into breaking news mode just hours after the Colorado movie massacre, immediately transmitting footage and interviews from the neighborhood where accused shooter James Holmes grew up. Our San Diego field producer and San Diego video crews were among the first national media reps on the scene, and were soon joined by dozens of other journalists from all over the world. Our team quickly obtained high school photos and background information on Holmes, interviewed neighbors and former acquaintances and shipped the material via satellite -- all within an hour after arriving. Solana Productions, Inc., stayed out in front of the developing story for several more days, securing more interviews and footage at the Holmes family church in Rancho Penasquitos and in other areas of San Diego. The material aired on "Entertainment Tonight" on July 20 and on the "ET" weekend show, July 21-22.
Talk about clawing your way to the top! Talking Tom, the adorable IPhone app/YouTube sensation, who's become an entertainment phenomenon with more than 400 million user downloads and 100 million monthly active users, was the center of our latest San Diego video production. Tom and the other Talking Friends, created by app developer Outfit7, were "the talk" of the Association of National Advertisers Conference in Dana Point. That's where our San Diego video crew documented the story of how the clever voice-mimic app has become a beloved mobile consumer brand. Talking Tom and the Talking Friends were also recently featured on ABC's "Modern Family," and have new app tie-ins with "Madagascar 3." Haven't talked with Talking Tom yet? He's a free app for Iphones -- and you can click on the video screen to enjoy his version of Shakira's "Waka Waka." Meow.
