Satanic Hispanics is coming to a theatre near you! Bard Tales helped produce this feature-length collection of horror shorts, which premiered and won the Best Director Award at FantasticFest in September. The anthology highlights Hispanic filmmakers and will be hitting 800 movie theaters in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico this September.

We're excited that our films for The Nature Conservancy are now live! We filmed two immersive VR experiences for them in Western Canada - Cedar's Story and Nature's Guardians - to be viewed at the UN Climate Summit in Egypt. Both videos highlight the beauty of The Emerald Edge (the world's largest coastal temperate rainforest) and the indigenous stewards that help preserve them.

Thanks to everyone who helped bring this project together! The videos can be viewed on The Nature Conservancy website at https://www.nature.org/en-us/about-us/where-we-work/priority-landscapes/emerald-edge/

A little to this piece we edited for People's Television. It was animated by the amazing Fabian Tejada and highlights the incredible work that the Veterans Crisis Line does for our veterans, who we're celebrating tomorrow for Veterans Day! This is such an awesome art style we would love to revisit soon.

Best wishes to you all and your families during these strange times.

Things are strange in the video world at the moment, with most production on pause. Bard Tales is taking steps to serve clients safely, while still helping to get their message heard. We’ve built a social distancing camera package that can be shipped directly to your Talent’s/Subject’s/Candidate’s/CEO’s home, is easy to set up, and includes a remote operator. That’s right, it’s a video shoot in a box!

Social Distancing Camera Package Features:

· Remote off-site camera operator (full control over focus, exposure, white balance, depth of field, audio monitoring)

· 4k UHD 4:2:2 footage

· C-log dynamic range available for color grading

· 2 discrete audio channels (lavalier and camera-mounted shotgun)

· Bi-color ring light

· Lens-mounted teleprompter (with kit stand to turn ring light into a key light)

· Remote live monitoring for you and your clients

· Easy set up and shipped in a single case

· Each rental comes with off-site tech support to help with set up

So if you are looking to do a single camera shoot that looks a lot better than a Zoom meeting, call us! And of course, animation and motion graphic videos are still very doable in the current climate—in fact, we have some cool new pieces on our website that you should check out (www.bardtales.com/portfolio). We also have a large roster of local crews who can socially distance when it is safe and legal to do so.

It is incredibly humbling to see our friends and colleagues succeed in this industry.

Amazing film, congrats David and the rest of the team.

This spring, we had the privilege of traveling to Gundlupet, India for USA Today to capture the turmeric harvest on a rural family farm. Check out the article to see some of the beautiful content we captured for this fascinating project!

For the farmers of India, growing turmeric is much more than a way to earn a living. Story from Nature’s Way.
