Project Brief

Way back in 1996 Panoptic Media’s president Jim Prues was invited to videotape a three day gathering of some of the world’s most enlightened and passionate young environmentalists. It took place at a Tibetan Monastery in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California.

The courage and wisdom of these young people is truly inspiring, even after all these years. Jim captured their spirit and vision for a new way forward. Many of these leaders can still be found doing the work to save our planet from global warming and environmental destruction.

The program first aired on Earth Day, 1997 on MTV Global Networks.

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.

Project Brief

Hamilton County reached out to Panoptic Media to discuss how to increase awareness of the many functions that they perform and the variety of positions available to county workers. We came up with the idea of “Associate Spotlight” videos that would offer recognition of the variety of services and and positions that existing within the county. They felt that ‘Employee’ was a better choice than ‘Associate’, which gave us our series title.

This particular video features Dave Hoover, a Level 3 Technician that maintains storm sewers and fire hydrants. As he mentions, every day is different and he would never imagined fire hydrants to be such a target for motorists!

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.
