admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 19:33:26 +0000

We’re helping out our friends at Project Kindle today by producing the live webcast of their Dance Marathon at UCLA. Dance Marathon at UCLA 2010 is the 9th annual event of its kind at the UCLA campus. Seeking to educate, fundraise, and spread awareness about the global pediatric AIDS pandemic, Dance Marathon unites over 3,000 students every year in Ackerman Grand Ballroom to literally take a stand against pediatric AIDS. More information on the event can be found here. Watch the stream, chat it up & say hello. We’ll literally be here all night (did we mention it’s a 26-hour dance marathon?). This year, they raised $407,223.73!

Stats update (posted at 1:00 PM PT on 2/14/10): The stream was shared 70 times on Facebook and 47 times on Twitter. The average audience was 65 viewers and peaked at 180+ viewers on 2/14 at 1:00 PM PT. The stream averaged about 90,000+ total viewer minutes).

It’s with great pleasure that we announce our new address for Radar Multimedia.

Radar Multimedia

4111 W. Alameda Ave. • Suite 412

Burbank, CA 91505

Same number (818) 567-1119 and email/web.

As many of you know, we sold the 118 N. Sparks St. property last Summer and “hovered” while we built out our new offices in Burbank. The new office features an amazing conference room, plenty of space for our team to work on your projects and a 12-seat screening room (we’re excited about rolling out “Friday Flicks” this Summer). Stay tuned for an invite to our open house later this year. It’ll be a lot of fun. Special thanks to Steve Hand at The HAND Company for making this a reality.

Please update your accounting & mailing information with the new address and delete the 3940 Laurel Canyon address from your records, effective immediately.

Thanks for your business, support and patience as we transition Radar into 2010 & beyond.

Our first ever SkipDay was a huge success with more than 100 people showing up for one hour to help pack 10,920 pounds of food, 546 FoodPaks™ and more than 4,000 pounds of beans for children living in the Caribbean and Latin America. Thanks for your help!

Welcome to Skip1.org

admin — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 22:00:28 +0000

Radar’s creative team designed and produced the website for Skip1.org, a new non-profit organization that taps into the world’s wealth to help bring food & water to children in need. The new site has several key components such as a revolving billboard, user-generated accounts, a store, aggregated content from Twitter and a Skip1 leaderboard so people can see who’s skipping and why. Visit the site, skip something and let us know what you think. The website is live but won’t “officially” launch until September 1st, 2009.

Radar Delivers for the DIRECTV Revolution

admin — Tue, 05 May 2009 17:00:33 +0000

Dallas. April 21, 2009. More than 2,000 DIRECTV dealers experience a James Bond-themed casino night party complete with card tables, go go dancers, a unique raffle and dancing at the 2009 DIRECTV Revolution event. Eight 16×9-foot screens were strategically placed around the room and were controlled by an Encore system with multiple playback decks, graphics from laptops and 13 cameras (thanks to DMG). Steve Hand from the HAND Company tapped Radar during the development phase of the project and shared his vision for how the media elements would need to be integrated into the space. More than four hours of content was created for the event.

All eight screens needed to be independently controlled in order to match each corner of the room which featured a city theme: New Orleans, Moscow, Hong Kong and Monte Carlo (pictures and videos coming soon). In addition to the playback media, Radar controlled 13 cameras (6 remote, 2 operated, 5 hidden lipstick cameras) to create a sense of Vegas & Bond-like surveillance throughout the evening. Special thanks to the HAND Company, Kuki Design, Steve Kemble and everyone at DIRECTV for making this an amazing event. Radar’s creative director Drew Lucas headed up the media design & production while Tyler D’Askquith and Angel Banchs served as video director and Encore operator respectively.

EnviroSolve Has Radar On Their Mine

admin — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:43:07 +0000

The EnviroSolve Corporation has tapped Radar to produce a 30-minute safety training video for the former Anaconda Copper Mine site in Yerington, Nevada which is going through a multi-million dollar cleanup. The Yerington Site has more potential pitfalls than Raiders of the Lost Ark so it’s critical that all visitors to the mine go through some training before spending any amount of time on the site. The 30-minute training video will be available on the Radar website upon its completion in May. For more information on the site cleanup, click here.
