San Diego Video Production
Semper Fi-ghting With "The Expendables"
July 26, 2010
It doesn't get more badass than this -- Sylvester Stallone and his tough-guy co-stars from "The Expendables" joining forces with the Marines at Camp Pendleton! This San Diego video production was actually the premiere of the new action movie, held at the 1,300-seat theater on the Marine base in Oceanside. Our San Diego video crew nabbed a TV exclusive for "Entertainment Tonight" as Stallone pulled up to a cheering crowd of Marines and their families in a Humvee. Also arriving in Humvees -- co-stars Terry Crews, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Randy Couture, a six-year military veteran. The crew stayed up close with the stars, grabbing tons of memorable moments as Stallone and the boys signed autographs, posed for pictures and high-fived Marines. Inside the theater, we rolled as "The Expendables" bolted down the carpet to thunderous applause and introduced their new film, which opens Aug. 13. Our footage aired on "ET" Monday, July 26, and was featured on the show's website, www.etonline.com.

Solana went on location with “America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh for 2 days. From left, sound man Glenn Kram, Walsh and DP Kurt Snider, at the US-Mexico border. Interviews with Walsh were recorded on the Sony XDHD camera. This is becoming the camera of choice for our San Diego video production. The producer is able to quickly review scenes in color using the “Thumbnail” feature of the XD camera.
Facing an early deadline we raced to the feed point and used the same feature to quickly play the important scenes and soundbites. The satellite feed took half the usual time and the editor quickly cut in just what she needed.
