Often a movie is released with such tense anticipation and glamorous visual arts which draws the public to the dramatic rendition of life in the theatres. For about two hours or so, video productions put us into a different lifestyle. It might be action, drama or comedy. However, very few know the history of video production. HISTORY OF VIDEO PRODUCTION – IN THE BEGINNING History of video production began with motion pictures which were based on the illusion of persistence of vision and the phi phenomenon. Earlier before photography was invented, optical toys were used. They were mounted on successive phase drawings to create the motion pictures. In 1839, a French Painter perfected the positive photographic process which was popularly known as daguerreotype. Consequently, on the same year, an English Scientist William Henry successfully demonstrated the negative photographic process which allowed positive prints to be produced from each negative. However, with the innovation and development of photography, it was becoming easy to replace the phase drawings in the early optical toys and the devices with individual posed photographs. This was a practice that became very popular and was practiced mostly in the USA. The development of live action which could be photographed spontaneously and simultaneously led to true motion pictures. There was the minimization of the exposure time from an hour or so necessary for the photographic process in the year 1870. Between 1872 and 1877, there was the development of series technology by the British American photographer Muybridge. Marey on the other side invented the chronophotographic gun which was a camera shaped like a rifle that could record 12 successive photographs per second. Marey imprinted these images on a rotating glass plate and tried to protect them. In 1887 in Newark, New Jersey, a minister named Hannibal Goodwin came up with the idea of celluloid as a base for photographic emulsions. The inventor and industrialist George Eastman who had tried out his experiments with sensitized paper rolls for still photography started manufacturing celluloid roll film in the year 1889 at his plant in New York. This event was important in the development of cinematography and later for video production. With cinematography, it was possible to record long, complicated events which required thousands of images. It was flexible and also durable recording medium for production. It was crucial to combine the principles in the apparatuses of Muybridge and Marey with celluloid strip film in arriving at a viable motion-picture camera. A device meeting these principles was invented by Louis Le Prince in 1880s. He shot short films in Leeds, England in 1888. However, he was scheduled to show his work in New York City in 1890; he disappeared when traveling in France. Video production was revolutionized in Thomas Edison’s laboratories in West Orange, New Jersey. This was after William Kennedy had devised a motion picture camera and a Kinetoscope. These devices allowed a single viewer to watch a short film via a peephole. This invention enjoyed a small period of profitability with consumers paying a nickel to enjoy the moving pictures. More success was achieved when projectors were developed making it possible to show a movie to more than one viewer at a time. Francis Jenkins and Thomas Armat where first to invent a projector that was publicly exhibited in the US. Before the development of movie houses, production companies at that time would give out projectors and films to exhibitors. The employees of these companies would take the company’s equipment on the road showing films in empty storefronts and many other makeshift venues. Films for the first projector called vitascope were produced by the Edison Manufacturing Company. This was done in a crude black-painted shack which was called the “Black Maria”.

“Why Phoenix?” The answer to this question depends on who’s doing the asking. A significant part of Blare Media’s business model has been to establish strong video production teams across many US cities. After brief consideration, the only question for us was, “Why not?” The city is at the heart of Arizona’s in the Valley of the Sun. The 5th largest city in the US is truly a metropolis in the desert. There are many reasons why we launched Blare Films Arizona; weather, proximity to distinct topography and landscape, and the region’s motion picture history. But those are just a handful of reasons: Another major component of the attraction is our region’s vibrancy. In short, we have a lot of attractions and things going on, and this page is dedicated to showcasing we have to offer. WHY TARGET EVENTS Blare Films of Arizona is a top-flight video production company working in Phoenix. Our proven expertise producing corporate and organizational videos, TV commercials, music videos, documentaries and films, in 4k and 6k aerial and ground-based video, has been demonstrated time and again serving clients both large and small: And so to keep our finger on the pulse of Arizona’s business needs and trends, Blare Films’ social media team dedicates several hours every month to researching and posting a Calendar of Events for metropolitan area including Scottsdale, and Tucson. By keeping our calendar current, the team serves both Blare Films and the broader Arizona video production community in providing information about the following event categories: Films Festivals – Thanks to our varied and visually stunning landscapes, Arizona has historically attracted major motion picture companies to bring work here. Perhaps you’re more interested in smaller independent films than big blockbusters: Arizona has some great places for those, too. Sedona and Jerome have long been regarded as ideal host cities for film festivals and when they do, we’ll let you know about it. [CHANDLER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL IS ONE OF THE EXCITING AND AWE-INSPIRING EVENTS OF THE FILM FESTIVALS.] Music Festival – You’ve heard of the Coachella Music Festival but there are plenty of others. In fact, 2018 was the first year Blare Films started capturing footage at music festivals, filming Marriot promos at the Coachella Music festival, and creating video content for W Hotel’s first annual Music Festival, the “Wake Up Call,” and the “Kaaboo De Mar” footage for Odwalla. [INNINGS FESTIVAL IS A TWO-DAY FEATURING EVENT FOR ROCKSTARS, POP STARS AND COUNTRY PERFORMERS, CULINARY DEMOS, AS WELL AS CURATED FOOD VENDORS.] Mixers and Award – Blare Films loves to party and has maintained a presence at most business, technology and marketing mixers.

Blare Films is proud to announce that we’ve built a fully customized, versatile electric and grip van from the ground up and it is now available to all productions in the Phoenix and Tucson areas. Most people in production have a pretty good idea what comes with a standard grip van package. We also know that for most productions you might end up paying for gear that you’ll never use, such as some of the more esoteric grip hardware or old school tungsten, while at the same time having to pay a lot more for the HMI’s and LED’s that you do need. So we took the package that we love to shoot with and made it available for rental. It provides a good assortment of lighting for most corporate, marketing, or commercial shoots. Many times when shooting in high-rise office scenarios where we’re looking out a window we need to use more punch than LED’s, tungsten, or fluorescent heads can provide. This is when a super bright 1200 HMI Par is your best friend. We have this paired with an electronic ballast and several 4×4 diffusion options. For this type of shooting a powerful HMI is not only preferable, it’s vital. Very few if any grip vans come preloaded with HMI, Kino, and LED heads included in the base price that meets or beats the price of the competition. We think this is a smarter, simpler, and more effective way to go. It saves you money, it’s saves us time spent loading and unloading, and it goes that extra distance to ensure your shoot goes off without a hitch.Read More ...read more
