Project Brief

For well over a year now, Panoptic Media president Jim Prues has been working with brother David Prues, CEO of Ambient Studios, to engineer and produce the Jerry Springer Podcast with co-hosts Jene Galvin and Megan Hils. While this started out as a pre-recorded podcast, we now stream the podcast live at JerrySpringer.com and we shoot live video through the facebook live video app.

This 28 second promo was built for facebook audiences. The look and feel of this piece, along with many other aspects of the podcast production, are designed and/or implemented by Panoptic Media. It wasn’t even too hard to get Jerry to bend down and bounce back up for that first shot!

Project Brief

When Amberley Village wanted to highlight what a unique community it is, and encourage potential residents to check the village out,  they engaged with Panoptic Media to tell their story.  Instead of starting with a script, we elected to get interviews from key administration officials and weaving them together into a coherent story. That, combined with nice transitions and music, made for an engaging presentation.

The folks in Amberley Village administration are thrilled with it, as are the residents who’ve seen it. We love our work.

Peter Block is a world renown author and consultant. His work includes several books, including “Community – The Art of Belonging”. With his interest in making this work as accessible as possible, he chose Jim Prues and Panoptic Media as his resource of choice. The series can be found on youtube, or on the specific page he had made on his website to host these four videos. Great content, great visual support.

Project Brief

When Cintas Corporation was looking for a high-concept piece to send out to small and medium sized businesses, they turned to Panoptic Media to help the find a big idea and to execute that big idea effectively. We came up with “The Power of the Uniform”.

This ‘high concept’ idea allowed us to tie-in the idea of a uniformed professional to Cintas, already recognized as a world leader in uniforms. By using this metaphor, we were able to leverage sports uniforms, police, medical professionals and others who are easily and clearly identified through their uniforms.

When U.S. Bank was rolling out their “What’s Possible” campaign earlier this year, they chose Cincinnati and Denver to be their first local roll-outs. This meant hiring crew and editorial services in both cities, and happily their agency chose Panoptic Media to be their video production and editing resource in Cincinnati.

It was comprised of one frenetic day of shooting in several locations that were pre-selected. U.S. Bank representatives presented regular folks with a check to fund whatever they liked. They were obviously well received.

We then started the edit that very evening, and worked the next day to polish and finish the piece. As it turns out, they decided on this 30 second version as their strongest message. The agency folks and U.S. Bank were thrilled with the results, meaning we were too!
