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

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 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!
