Whole Foods has just released “Here We Grow” documentary directed by Craig King is now exclusively available in our stores. In this 65-minute film, Craig, a natural foods chef and entrepreneur, explores the current state of our food supply and seeks to educate people about living healthier, more wholesome lives through socially responsible food choices. The film intends to raise national awareness through inspiring interviews and stories that capture the passion and personal investment of a diverse group of individuals. The documentary also educates everyone on the pandemic expansion of dangerous chemicals that were introduced into food seeds and crop soils at an alarming rate over the last 40 years.
Revenues from the film go toward community projects that demonstrate the actions necessary to restore America’s health. 20% of the sales go directly to our partner, Ann Cooper, and her School Lunch Revolution project.
A Michael Conti Video Production provided 5 days of filming during the production of this extra special food awareness documentary during the Spring of 2009.

A Michael Conti Production has been busy shooting internet ads for one of the national online phonebook companies–YELLOWBOOK.
As they say: Who better to describe your business to potential customers than you?
A video ad online is a high impact way to speak to your customers and stand out from traditional online directory ads. Video ads provide you the opportunity to reach out to potential customers who are ready to buy, giving them a chance to see, hear and experience your business before calling or stepping out to make a purchase.
Here are recent spots that A Michael Conti Production shot. All the videography was done by Michael Conti whereas the editing was completed by Pixel Fish in Torrance, California.

A Michael Conti Production was recently contracted by BODA Weight Loss Products to shoot two marketing videos which would be presented on their respective websites. The Client brought both the script and the talent to the early morning shoot, and A Michael Conti Production brought their expertise to the game.
Instead of the traditional locked off camera shot, the Client wanted a shot that was a bit more dynamic and shared an example from SunPop Studios in which the camera was very active but controlled on the end of a small crane on a sound stage. Unfortunately, this approach would have been problematic due to the outside location and the budget, but taking the same clever principal of movement of the frame around the subject, A Michael Conti Production was able to create a fascimile.
Within 2 hours, the video was shot and in the can for editing. By the end of the day, the Client was reviewing the first cut of the edit online, and shortly afterwards, it was ready to be presented online. Here is the final version:
While this quick approach might not be appropriate for all Clients, in this case, it was necessary from the presented budget. Our goal at A Michael Conti Production is to get the work done in the most cost effective and professional manner based upon the Client’s needs.
See the video in its placement on the BODA website.

I ran behind Betty Hoops again with a video camera attached to a walking stick mono-pod documenting her as she ran the BolderBoulder 10K Road Race in 1:14:48.71 while hula hooping. She beat her previous world record which is currently in the Guinness World Records 2008.
