KANSAS CITY SKY SHOW 2008

Real Media recently worked on the video for the Kansas City Sky Show 2008. 

The show was created to be a multimedia presentation with fireworks, HD video and and music.  The complete show lasted about 30 minutes.  Real Media's contribution was a variety of HD footage shot around Kansas City including time lapse footage, KC landmarks, fountains and people.  The project was then edited and delivered on HDCAM to be presented on the new Royals HD video boards.  The show was a huge success and the game was sold out.  The Royals are talking about making this a yearly tradition.  Here is a press release in the KC Star.

Royals add more fireworks, T-Bones want your mullets and do you remember the A’s?

Fireworks shows are a Friday night tradition at Kauffman Stadium, but the one scheduled this Friday could start a tradition of its own.

Real Media Featured on KSHB-TV

Real Media was recently the focus of a local Kansas City news feature called "Business in Action".  The story was done by the local NBC affiliate KSHB 41 and news anchor Mark Clegg.  You can see the video feature here.  We've received a lot of very positive feedback from the story.  Kudos to Mark Clegg and KSHB for a great job!  Here is the story.

**** The Story****

The next time you attend a sporting event, pay special attention to the big screen. Chances are the high-tech visual effects might be the work of a metro production house.

Real Media does it all when it comes to production design. The Lenexa company is in its 11th year.

Whether it is in-house production, using their green screen studio or a location shoot, they have the state of the art equipment to do the job right.

These days, the bulk of their business comes from the wide world of sports.

"We work with half of the Big 12 colleges on creating elements for their scoreboards," Brad Burrow said. "So K-State, KU, Baylor University, Oklahoma."

Burrow also listed Missouri and Ohio State University as current clients.

PHITEN - Experience The Energy

Real Media has recently contracted with PHITEN, a Japanese company that manufactures Titanium products that help stabilize the body's natural systems and functions, to create television spots.  The marketing campaign is called "Experience the Energy".

The Real Media team spent 3 days in Fort Myers, Florida shooting spots with Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholz from the Boston Red Sox.  The Spots were shot in HD on green screen with HMI lighting.  The spots were written by Don Schmidt and directed by Brad Burrow.  Ken Brown was Director of Photography.  The crew consisted of a digital imaging technician a lighting director and two grips.  Real Media also included a still photography package. Stills were used for the PHITEN website and promotional materials.

The televisions spots will air in local markets and possibly nationally.  The image spots were created to promote the PHITEN brand and to create product awareness.  If you keep your eyes out during MLB games you will see many of the current players wearing the necklaces.  Buchholz and Beckett both love the necklaces and rarely take them off!  Both players were great to work with!
