ThunderShot Studios ThunderShot Studios is the perfect creative canvas for TV shows, commercials, green/blue screen shoo Why?

Our studio is big, powerful, quiet, ice cold—and it features one of the largest seamless hard c*c walls in the DC/Baltimore region. Because it was designed by people who clawed their way up the production ladder. We’ve seen a lot of producers fight the clock and we have worked hard to iron out the irritating logistical hiccups that waste time and drain budgets. Our goal is to deliver speed, conven

ience and a smoother production day so that you can focus on what’s happening in front of the camera.

Wow! Just wow! From time to time, a demonstration of this area’s production powers are required. If you guys missed this one, that is a serious bummer. A huge cross-section of the DC production community was with us last night, and the hours of networking that followed late into the night will undoubtedly project new creative collaborative teams into our community for years to come. Such a pleasure to have you all there!

One last Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday THANK YOU to the great rescue team and fosters at Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue! If you can, PLEASE support this wonderful rescue group. And if you're one of the few who can commit to adopting a Shepherd - and it's more of a dog training lifetime commitment than just a pet (because they're about as smart as most people) - please consider adopting one of the great creatures from SSR in this link: https://www.shenandoahrescue.org/animals/browse

With the Fourth of July—and all the loud fireworks—just around the corner, I was wondering if any of our friends on FB might be looking for a quiet place in Fairfax to bring their dog next Monday evening. Our soundproof broadcast studio can accommodate about 15 large crates (you’d need to supply the crate) with space for the humans too. We can guarantee no loud bangs will upset your pups. We could put some food and drinks out and have the fireworks broadcast on, with music but no sound, of course, to make it festive. Let me know if this sounds interesting and we will work on getting it set up (though space would be limited).

If you need the best video agency for premium video production, you’ll love our Washington, DC area studio.

Unreal Engine is AWESOME!! Same tech used on the Mandalorian 🙂 We’ve been using it at ThunderShot for more than a year now for virtual events and the backgrounds of surrealistic frontiers. Its reconfigurable curved bright high resolution led tiles make it an extremely flexible solution for high caliber productions of all kinds. With our pre-built jib, large sensor multicamera packages, and built-in lighting support, it’s hard to get more dramatic results. Let us know if you need some galactic production support in the Mid Atlantic! We’d love to work with you!!

BIG-RIG PRODUCTION CAMERAS COMPARED

ZOOM EVENT
WEDNESDAY MAY 26
6:30 PM (EDT

Register today at http://ow.ly/sY4r50ESEnh

With so many camera options, what are you shooting on?
There are as many answers to this question as there are producers, directors, editors, and cinematographers.

Get ready to get your inner video NERD on, cause we’re going to float on down to the deep end of the pool with Director of Photography Peter Nicoll. He (and a few others) will analyze Dc-Camera’s premium lineup of state-of-the art motion picture systems and provide a comprehensive look at why you should consider a particular camera for your production needs. Topics may include color space, optics, latitude, formats, data consumption, workflow, and overall reputations of the most popular cameras in the business. Join us for a chat about the pros, cons, and value-added qualities of options across the whole production spectrum.

Hey, remember that time about a year ago when we mentioned that we clean all of our floors with hot sanitizer?. Yeah, we’ve been focused on keeping super clean and disinfected at hospital grade concentrations in high touch areas and providing wall mounted hand sanitizers since we opened our studio. Now we’re seeing lots of other businesses and venues mentioning their new cleaning procedures. In the words of Bruce Willis: “WELCOME TO THE PARTY PAL!”
