Last week, CRMG welcomed a new client  –  Living Proof.  Our video crew teamed up with this science-based beauty company to create broadcast demos for the QVC Home Shopping Network.

On-location in the Living Proof bio-tech labs, technicians conducted a visual product comparison and, in order to show authenticity to a TV viewing audience, we got it all in one smooth and seamless take… no cuts allowed!

This morning, the Charles River Media Group team interviewed celebrated fiction author, Gregory Maguire – best known for his popular novel, “Wicked,” which spawned the hit Broadway musical about the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West.

Gregory Maguire received his Ph.D. in English and American Literature from Tufts University.  He is being honored this year at the Tufts University PT Barnum Awards, and this interview will be incorporated into one of the biographical pieces Charles River Media Group will be producing.  Other 2012 PT Barnum winners include actor, Johnathan Hadary, news producer Marian Porges, and artistic director, Betsy Gregory.

This week we finalized our first national placement with the Oprah Winfrey Network.  You can find out more about CRMG’s TV Spot Placement Services for both regional and national markets here.

And…..did you know that CRMG provided camerawork for an episode of Oprah’s last season on network television?

CRMG teamed up with SalesForce.com and Hill & Knowlton Strategies yesterday to capture a unique social media extravaganza that centered around something we all love: FREE BURRITOS!

We spent the day filming at the Boloco in Boston Commons for a big give-away event sponsored by Desk.com. Customers could receive a free burrito by checking-in to Boloco on FourSquare and Tweeting about the event.  People were walking through the door with their phones ready-to-go, and the impressive turnout was a nod to the power of social media.  We agree that this is a key-component for small businesses, and love to stay social-media-savvy at CRMG….

We just left Hasty Pudding’s 2012 Woman of the Year Awards. Check out these rush photos from Charles River Media Group of roast and press conference of Claire Danes. More photos and videos coming soon…and next week is Man of the Year Jason Segal.

This weekend, the Charles River Media Group studio was transformed into a church and a prison… we had birds, blood, and a Spanish conquistador!

Our crew constructed a beautiful set for the filming of this sequence for CRMG’s feature film, “Marranos.” With this final epic shoot, we wrapped up principal photography for the movie and are on to the final editing stages!  However, before the set is torn down and forgotten, we’d like everyone to note the delicate execution and artistry of Cody’s crown molding!

This independent film tells the story of Spanish Jews at the turn of the 16th century, whose lives are turned into a waking nightmare, when the call went out: all Jews must convert or die.
