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.

San Diego, Calif. – Sen. Barack Obama’s acceptance of the American Federation of Teachers endorsement, transmitted live via satellite to Chicago Sunday, was shot by Solana Productions, Inc., a video production company based in Solana Beach, Calif.
Sen. Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was in San Diego to discuss immigration and other issues important to Latino voters at the National Council of La Raza convention.
Prior to his La Raza address, Obama’s live message was watched by thousands of educators at the American Federation of Teachers’ convention in Chicago, and other cities around the country. Clips from the speech were also carried on nationwide news broadcasts Sunday.
A four-person crew from Solana Productions, Inc., prepared lighting, video and audio requirements the day before the speech for Obama. The setup included feeding the Chicago convention back live to the San Diego hotel so Obama could interact with those in attendance.
During the speech, Obama remembered attending school in Chicago and hearing a lot about “those kids” a reference to children from under performing schools. He said a teacher pointed out to him that, “Those kids are in fact everyone’s kids.”
The only complication during this San Diego video production occurred during the Secret Service sweep prior to Obama entering the room. A bomb sniffing dog showed interest in some equipment cases and then lunged for a Starbucks coffee cup on top. We’re still wondering if he was after caffeine, sugar or half and half.
Solana Productions, Inc., handles broadcast, cable and corporate video production throughout Southern California.
