See Ya Later 2014

We want to take this time at the end of the year to thank all of our clients, friends, and families who have allowed us to have another successful working year.

We had a lot of fun opportunities this year and we made the most of each one.  We plan to bring a lot more fun, hard work, and great content through out all of 2015.  That's our promise.

Stay tuned for more great videos and beautiful shoots.

SteakLocker and KickStarter

The Bob Hoffman team was recently approached to help create a video for an awesome new San Diego start-up company called SteakLocker.

I wouldn't claim that anyone in our offices is a "foodie," per say, but we know a good steak when we see one, so we were excited when we got the opportunity to make this video. 

Steaklocker combines the best of old world dry aging techniques with sophisticated modern technology allowing the consumer to control the process of dry aging and save at least 50%-70% on current retail dry age steak prices.

 

We weren't familiar with dry aged beef prior to this but when we tasted the steaks aged in the SteakLocker we were pleasantly surprised.  The aging process really concentrates all of the flavors into your meat, giving you all the tastes that you like about steak- but turned up to 11.  It was one of the best steaks we ever had. 

We put together a KickStarter video that gives you all the information on the SteakLocker and what you can do to help this start-up bring the best beef experiences to consumers worldwide.

If you have a Start-Up or project that you are KickStarting and need attention grabbing media to go along side it, Bob Hoffman Photography and Video would love to work with you. Give us a call at 858.576.0046.

UPDATE

This KickStarter's success has taken off. With a great product and our media helping to explain the process and benefits of the machine, this campaign has now doubled its original goal.

Plus, this weekend our media was featured on some amazing publications all over the web.

San Diego Business Journal | Top Real Estate Deal Awards

Congratulations to the recipients of the 2013 "Top Real Estate Deals" awards presented by the San Diego Business Journal.

Check out this video to see the recipients and hear from the Life Time Achievement Award recipient Tom Sudberry.




We had a great time at this event.  It was incredibly interesting to hear from all of the "movers & shakers" in attendance at this event.  Thanks to all of you for adding to our communities and for making them such an interesting and desirable place to live.

SDBJ | Book of Lists 2014

Every year, the San Diego Business Journal releases it's annual Book of list and it has become known as one of the best business reference guides in the San Diego area.  The book recaps and ranks different businesses across many different fields.  It is a very comprehensive list with a ton of information-  I recommend picking up a copy if you haven't done so yet. 

We were asked to record the announcement ceremony for the top contenders of the lists.  It took place at the San Diego Hall of Champions in Balboa Park.  

The video below is a recap of the evening.  Feel free to check it out and view all of the recipients.  

Thanks for letting us cover the event and congratulations to all the winners!

USS Coronado Homecoming

 This past week we were invited to photograph the homecoming ceremony of the USS Coronado.  

This is a newly created ship that is being added to the fleet in Coronado Island.  The ship had been away with it's crew for over 11 months, so as the tug boats toted the ship into the port you could see the excitement and joy of the families start to bubble up.

As the navy men and women finally walked down the gang plank their families and friends who were waiting held up "Welcome Home" signs and ran in for giant hugs.  It's hard to not get choked up when awesome moments like this happen.

Check out the video below:

Thanks to Lincoln Military Housing for organizing such a great event.  They do such an amazing job fostering healthy community for soldiers and their families!

Retired Mayor Jerry Sanders speaks at NACE

Last week we were invited to document the February meeting of the San Diego chapter of NACE (National Association for Catering and Events). This meeting was especially special because former Mayor Jerry Sanders graciously spoke with us on the eve of the result night in the intense mayoral race this year.

He had a lot of interesting and praise worthy things to say about the accolades of our different industries as well as the potential for growth that is available to us in this great city.

Check out this recap of the evening below.


I particularly like two things from his speech:

a) How he say's there is no reason San Diego shouldn't be the wedding capital of the country.

and

b) How awesome he thinks the Craft Beer from our city is.  I happen to agree.


Just a quick plug, if you need any of your videography or photography needs met- I can give you a guarantee that our team can handle whatever you throw our way.  In fact, we would be so excited to take on your project because we love working with media and we love teaming up with cool people like yourself.  Maybe we can go out and talk about your projects over one of those Craft Beers we were talking about earlier.
