This past Thursday, CRMG and Sonic Pixel Media teamed up to live stream a meeting between the Massachusetts Gaming Commission and MGM Springfield regarding their casino project.

Camera crews arrived in Springfield, MA the night before to scope out the area and begin setting up, since filming began around 7AM the next day. We had three cameras and operators, an audio engineer, and a live stream switcher/director on location.

The Massachusetts Gaming Commission contacted Charles River Media Group over a year ago to begin planning this project, given that it was a complicated setup and scheduling on their end had to be established significantly in advance. We were more than happy to work with them early on, which allowed for us to confirm that we had the necessary equipment for not only live streaming, but also to allow large online audiences to view the footage without delays or glitches.

We look forward to continuing our work the the Massachusetts Gaming Commission! For more information on CRMG’s live streaming services, check out our Live Events & Webcasting Page.

Our very own Don Schechter was interviewed by the people at BostonVoyager about Charles River Media Group and Pizza Baby Films. Don outlined his experience leading up to the creation of CRMG. He also provided some insight into his personal and professional goals for his companies.

When asked about our collaborative work environment, Don said, “We are proud that our work has been seen on TV, in theaters, in corporate boardrooms, trade shows, and across the web. What sets us apart is our flexibility. Most “traditional” production companies are offices, perhaps with a full time producer and maybe an editor – and, depending on the work that comes in, they go out and rent equipment, rent a studio, hire crew, etc. From the start, we wanted to be more than that so we’re proud to own a ton of gear, have a production studio, editing suites as well as have the flexibility to scale based on our workload and the demands of any given project. Over the years we have created a real solid “bench” of professionals who enjoy working together.”

A year ago, Charles River Media Group got the chance of a lifetime! The CEO of one of our pharmaceutical clients, threw out the first pitch at a Red Sox game at Fenway. CRMG had four cameras on the field to catch “instant replay” angles of the pitch.

CRMG has been working with this client for the past three years. They have made great strides to provide the best and healthiest treatments to all who need it. The first pitch was caught by a man who was paralyzed from the waist-down after an accident. He was the first recipient of a treatment developed by the company, and is now on the road to recovery!

It was so fun to be out on the field at the historic Fenway!

Last week was a whirlwind for CRMG! We filmed talks, keynotes, interviews, group sessions, and some beautiful nature b-roll over the course of 5 days last week.

Mobius Executive Leadership had contacted us about a year ago to begin planning such a large undertaking. We ended up capturing a whopping 1.8TB of footage with three FS7s, one FS 100, one FS5, and a drone!

We have a relatively quick deadline in terms of post-production, but so we got right to work on the multi-cam edits, the interviews, and highlight videos this week!

Rockstar Catering, a company based in Florida, contacted CRMG a few weeks ago to cover a series of events they were hosting in Massachusetts. Over the course of last weekend, CRMG filmed a ribbon cutting ceremony, a cocktail party, a casino night, and a public grand opening, all at 84 Lumber’s brand new location in Holbrook, MA. With just a few days to turn around the highlight reel, CRMG worked to find the right music and cut together as many clips as possible to cover the various events.

GenArts contacted Charles River Media Group to film client interviews and testimonials at the client’s offices. This overview video would highlight Viewpoint Creative’s experience with Sapphire, which is GenArts’ visual effects suite used for film, broadcast, and advertisements.

A CRMG crew consisting of a producer, a DP, a grip, a media offloader, and a stylist arrived on set to film a variety of interviews staged throughout the offices, as well as wandering b-roll.

The video was edited by Viewpoint. Check out the final product below.

Last week, CRMG was hired to shoot and edit a two-minute video for Cohen Veterans Bioscience. The video consisted of voiceover narration, stock images and video, as well as pre-recorded footage. There was a tight deadline for this video, but we were able to work with the client to establish the right mood and tone for the piece!

Charles River Media Group and Sonic Pixel Media teamed up to film a music video for Scarlet de Lemeny’s “That’s Not Love”. Scarlet joined forces with Break the Cycle, an organization aimed at ending teen dating violence for the song “That’s Not Love”, which aims to create awareness about this issue.

In one marathon day, the three person crew filmed over a dozen actors in our studio at CRMG. Over the course of a few weeks, CRMG edited and color mastered the final product. Check out the music video below!
