A Variety of Projects Filmed in our Tampa Green Screen Video Studio!

Litewave Studios rounded out 2014 with three green screen projects from three diverse companies. Our clients enjoy the freedom and infinite possibilities that the green screen provides to their video projects. Litewave Studios’ Tampa green screen rental is perfect for projects of all shapes and sizes.

Brandon Honda was looking to create a modern television campaign with their owner/spokesperson interacting with the Brandon Honda web site. This series of 10 TV commercials, filmed in both English and Spanish, was filmed in our Tampa green screen studio and the visual effects were created in one of our Tampa post-production editing suites. Litewave Studios used a combination of Adobe After Effects and Premiere to achieve the high-end visual style our client was looking for. See the commercial below:

HealtheSystems, a longtime client of Litewave Media, was looking to film a series of informational videos on healthcare with their medical directors. The Litewave Studios’ crew created a two-camera setup in our Tampa green screen studio. The green screen was keyed out and the Tampa skyline background added in post-production. Additional voice-overs were then recorded in the sound booth of our Tampa Recording Studio to complete the project.

EdTraining Centers is an instructional video company focusing on compliance training and professional development videos. Actors ‘role-play’ situations, which are then discussed in the videos.

Using our Litewave Studios’ teleprompter, the cast was able to quickly deliver a series of 20 scripts. The quick setup and break down of our green screen studio enables us to create high-quality projects in an efficient manner.

Litewave Studios Shoots in Living Color!

We love it when our clients come up with ideas as crazy (or crazier) than we do! Our client, The Crossings Church, wanted to create a “Color Powder” battle, and film it at Litewave Studios.

We knew the powder might get everywhere so for this production, our Tampa video studio crew wrapped our sound stage and cameras in plastic. The studio looked like a scene from Dexter before we started. And once the powder started flying it didn’t stop.

We shot for an entire day in the studio, and filmed some really amazing footage. Craig Bolt, the creative director at Crossings Church had a vision to film everything in slow motion, so we geared up, lit the scene and let our trusty Sony FS-700 cameras (that film in ultra slow motion – up to 960 frames per second!) do the rest of the work.

Behind the scenes after the battle!

To enhance the powder’s color, Litewave Studios’ Tampa white cyc wall was covered with black drapes. The floor was also painted black to create a seamless look on camera.

Christian Cashmir our studio co-owner was DP on the shoot with Sasha Sebesta assisting with lighting. Photos were taken by Johanne Castagan. Craig directed and produced the shoot, and his creative video editing team did the post production. Take a look and let us know what you think.

At the end of the day, our Tampa Video Studio Rental was covered in a thick layer of colored powder, but it was worth it! If you have an exciting video idea you’d like to bring to life, give our Tampa video studio a call, or email us today!

Tampa Video Studios’ New Recording Booth is Music to our Ears!

Litewave Studios has just expanded the capabilities in our Tampa Video Studio with the addition of a state-of-the-art sound booth for voice-overs, singers and musicians.

Our first recording was with Sarah Shellman, a classically trained violinist, who lent her skills by playing musical selections for our soon-to-be-released film project, The Skyship Chronicles. Sarah played Guten Abend, Gute Nacht, (also known as Brahms’ Lullaby) and some parts from Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring to accompany a surrealistic scene in the film.

The actors from The Skyship Chronicles also came into the Tampa recording studio for their ADR sessions. ADR, (or Automatic Dialogue Replacement) is where an actor comes in after filming to re-record their dialogue under more controlled conditions. Christian Cashmir (our studio co-founder and editor of the film) recorded all of the lead actors in the Litewave Studios’ sound booth. Once music and sound FX were added, it transformed the movie into a sonic feast for the ears!

Our Tampa video studio team has also used the sound booth and recording studio for vocalists as well. Two singers have already used the booth for two very different projects.

Isis Sonatra, whose hip hop music video we shot last month came in to record the hook vocals for her single Will You Be My Boyfriend. The music video for the single, which she has just released on YouTube, was filmed in our Tampa White Cyc Studio and also on location in downtown St. Petersburg, FL.

Another audio/video project we recently completed in our Tampa sound booth was for our good friend Karen Post, The Branding Diva. Local singer Corinne Oliviia laid down the vocal track for Karen Post’s music video The Branding Boogie. Karen uses The Branding Boogie as a fun intro video for her numerous speaking engagements worldwide.

Grammy-Winning Artist Chick Corea Records at Litewave Studios

Legendary jazz pianist Chick Corea, who has won 20 Grammy awards throughout his career, came to our Tampa video studios to film a new music workshop series. Chick has been at the forefront of jazz since the mid-’60s, playing with other jazz legends like Miles Davis and Stan Getz.

For the project our crew built a custom-made set to create a ‘backstage’ feel. Brick walls (built in front of our Tampa White cyc studio) surrounded his beautiful jet black grand piano, while five cameras interviewed Chick and filmed his performance. The project took place over the course of four days in our video studio.

Litewave Studios’ crew worked in cooperation with Chick’s team, who flew in from Los Angeles and New York City for filming. The project was a great success and Chick and his crew will be returning to the studio next month to film the next installment of the series.

Above is a quick preview to the upcoming workshop. The live streaming event, which will also be filmed at Litewave Studios, runs March 28-30. If you are interested in attending, visit chickcoreamusicworkshops.com

Vampire Web Series Films at Tampa’s Litewave Studios

A new web series by Stavros (author of the One Blood series), will be filmed this summer in Tampa Bay. Stavros came in to do some preliminary filming on our Tampa green screen studio as well as some studio photography for the marketing materials.

Tampa’s own Maylin Morera, a good friend of our Tampa video studio, also stars in the series.

Jésus Mayorga (Breaking Bad, Scoundrels) and his sister Gabby, who play the lead roles in the series, flew in from Albuquerque and Los Angeles.
