Our latest San Diego video productions have put us hot on the trail of Britain's Prince Harry, as he criss-crosses the county in search of burgers, brew.......and yes, babes! The 27-year-old military officer is stationed in nearby El Centro for two months of Apache helicopter training. But on weekends, he's been making the 90-mile trek west for fun and nightlife in Coronado, downtown San Diego and....our very own Solana Beach! Your intrepid San Diego field producer and San Diego video crew have been way ahead of the competition, scoring interviews, photos and video for TV's "The Insider," several days before "Good Morning America," "Today" and People Magazine joined the story. HarryWatch -- definitely not a royal pain!

We got lucky with our latest LA video production -- literally! Lucky Brand jeans called on our San Diego video crew to shoot a series of employee training videos inside their flagship store at The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles. The LA-based denim brand goes to great lengths training its sales associates to help shoppers find perfect-fitting jeans. Using our video segments, employees at Lucky Brand's 177 retail stores will learn tips and techniques to help customers add jackets, sweaters, accessories and other complementary items -- all without costing a fortune. Now that's what we call lucking out!

Client Video Production experiences...
Handling your San Diego meeting video production needs is a specialty of Solana Productions. Client service is at the core of our company. As a meeting planner or producer I’m sure you are continually met with last-minute requests. When this happens on-location during your meeting it can be especially challenging. Our experience with shows of all sizes has prepared us to handle yours.
When the National Education Association’s convention came to San Diego, they brought a large staff and lots of video production equipment. But they soon discovered that events had been added, so we provided crews. Then a foreign broadcaster decided to feed tape live, so we arranged feed times and transportation. Then the Secretary of Education decided to deliver a speech at the convention’s Town Hall meeting. We were called on to provide more crews and on-location post production. Every day we received new requests and every day we filled them.
On a smaller scale, the Veteran’s Administration held training seminars for personnel who help former prisoners of war. This San Diego meeting video production required extensive coverage of Q&A sessions with the POWs. The VA was concerned that the production equipment not interfere with the event because of the sensitive nature of the subject matter. We planned our lighting and camera positions with great detail and the meeting went very well. The VA is using our coverage as a template for future events.
