Tweet for a Burrito
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…. Check out our Facebook Page!

Sending Our Studio into the 16th Century
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.
Happy New Year!
This month, we’re going to be releasing a lot of new commercials, corporate videos, and behind the scenes videos from recent projects. Here’s a promo we did with Steven Biondolillo to start with! Check out his poems after you watch this video.

New RED Camera on the way!
Our order is officially placed for the new Scarlet-X, and we might be the first in Boston to get one!
With burst modes up to 12 fps at full 5K resolution alongside 4K motion capture from 1-30 fps, the camera will allow us to simultaneously capture motion footage and still content. Can’t wait to start shooting with this baby!
Building a Commercial with FBN Construction
The setting for our recent location production commercial was the frame of a beautiful Boston home, in the process of being built by our client, FBN Construction.
On the day of our shoot, the exterior walls were up and roof was in place, yet most beams were still exposed, providing a very dynamic shooting environment for us to play with. We arrived with a full truck of equipment, turned the house into a commercial set, and had an exceptionally smooth day of filming.
FBN upgraded to the ARRI Alexa camera package and so the detail and beauty of the construction really stood out on screen. Also, the authenticity of having the owner address the TV audience from this environment was an effective choice for this spot.
In one of his interview responses, Bob said, “We’ve built hundreds of houses before, but we never built this one.” CRMG can relate! For all the video production and commercials we’ve created, we’ve never built one like this.
