The Yachts of Seabourn: Odyssey Maiden Voyage Documentary
07 July '09 by admin, under commercial.
The Yachts of Seabourn: Odyssey Maiden Voyage from Merge Studios on Vimeo.
So we recently had the great opportunity to work with The Yachts of Seabourn on an incredible project. We were hired to produce a piece about the maiden voyage of their new ship, The Seabourn Odyssey. Essentially, we had to film & edit a piece that mixed documentary elements and commercial branding within a 2 day period! We basically had to deliver it the following morning so the client could distribute it to all media outlets for the launch. Traditionally, companies will just send out un-edited video clips for the news outlets to do what they want with it. Seabourn wanted more control and wanted to deliver something unique and cinematic that represented their brand. We got the great opportunity to do this for them and completed everything in 36 hours. Believe me, I felt like it was a week! But, I’m happy we were able to deliver to a very happy client. ENJOY!

Earth Hour, Alejandro Sanz, & Merge Studios
05 March '09 by mergestudios, under TV.
Today was truly an amazing day for us here at Merge Studios. We got to collaborate with Alejandro Sanz on an amazing project called Earth Hour. Started by the WWF, Earth Hour strives to bring everyone around the world together to help fight the cause of global warming by having as many people as possible turn off their lights for one hour on March 28, 2009 at 8pm. Over the last few weeks, different crews have been shooting various actors, musicians, & celebrities to create PSA’s to help with the cause. So when we got asked to work with this incredibly talented, 17-time grammy winning artist for this cause, we jumped on board without any hesitation. It truly was an incredible shoot and we had a blast. Be on the lookout for the spot on TV, web, and radio. We should have it up soon for everyone to enjoy!

FIU Award Presentation

FIU Award Presentation from Merge Studios on Vimeo.
So the FIU video was finally premiered at the Torch Awards at FIU. President Modesto Maidique was presented an award for his contributions to the university over the last 20 years. The video was very interesting to work on considering we collaborated with FIU’s marketing department and used so many elements in the project. It was a combination of newly shot material, archival footage and pictures, which some we animated, and also voice over narration. It really was an absolute pleasure working on the project and we were excited to see how well the video was received. Let us know your thoughts. ENJOY!

FIU Presentation
27 February '09 by mergestudios, under Corporate.
So I’m very excited to let everyone know that tonight we will be presenting a very special video we produced at the FIU torch awards. The whole production has been a secret because the video is a surprise and has been kept under wraps. It’s been very exciting working on this project and we’re looking forward (and nervous) to see how it plays tonight. Once the video plays, we will have it up on our blog for everyone to see. Stay tuned and we’ll let you know how it goes!

So yesterday we had the incredible opportunity to produce a behind the scenes documentary piece on a photoshoot for Cravings Magazine. We worked with a beautiful model by the name of Joanna Krupa, which was voted the sexiest model of 2008. It was an incredible shoot and we got some beautiful images. We can’t wait to show the final piece with everyone. Stay tuned!
