Professional video with mobility and flexibility few can match.
Beautiful high definition
The web is increasing able to deliver high definition content, so even though not all consumers have BluRay players, HD has become the standard for video work.
We have been working with HD footage for some time now, and are able to deliver amazingly beautiful footage in full 1080p high definition. Current technology allows us to deliver at a quality previously only possible with film.
Experience in many styles
We came to video first in order to explore our own passions, which has lead us to take part in all different kinds of sets. From music videos, to emotional dramas and from high-octane action films to corporate promos, we've covered a wide range of styles and moods.
We're confident that we have the experience necessary to take on your next project.
And don't forget about sound
Because there is so much emphasis on the image, sound is often overlooked, but it's pretty well understood by professionals that sound is responsible for at least 50% of the overall feel of a video or film. It is, in fact, one of the easiest ways of differentiating a good video project from an amateur one.
At CRUX, we have the equipment and the skill to provide high quality sound to match the visuals.
Katrina + James
Our multicamera recording of the wedding of Katrina and James captures the monumental day with clarity so they'll be able to relive the memories for years to come.
Sweet Charity
Sweet Charity is another play by West Valley Light Opera. We created a multi-camera video archive of the performance for the cast and crew to enjoy for years to come.
Something
Something, a creative short, was produced to compete in Campus MovieFest at UCLA. It was written, shot, and edited all within a five day period.
The film was shot on location in Westwood and Santa Monica.
My Fair Lady
This performance of My Fair Lady was an award winning re-imagining of the classic. The play held firm to its namesake, while also rewarding its audience with a personality and humor all its own. The cast was as lovable it was memorable.
The CRUXimaging DVD and soundtrack promise to preserve the complete experience for years to come.
Aivar in Concert
Looking to jumpstart their musical careers, Aivar, a local Bay Area band, enlisted our expertise to produce a concert video that they could distribute to fans and use to land future gigs. The energetic, three-camera shoot was a large factor in a deal Aivar recently signed with a Los Angeles management company.
For this shoot, CRUX teamed with Jesee Walker of JWalk Films and Jason Armstrong.
Cats
CATS was an exciting performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous musical. The play is based on Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, by T.S. Eliot, whose poetic prowess imbues the adaptation with a delightful linguistic structure.
The CRUXimaging DVD faithfully records the excitement of the stage performance: charismatic acting, rhythmical poetic meter, vivid costuming, stunning lighting design, and wonderful orchestral accompaniment.
High and Dry
The film, High and Dry, follows a disillusioned insomniac at odds with his environment through a journey of existential reawakening and change. The unnamed protagonist, in a single day, experiences a series of events that leads to a climactic self-discovery. Ultimately, he is able to accept himself and find an inner peace despite the knowledge that reality is far from ideal.
The film employs stylized, sepia-toned imagery and intricate use of mise-en-scene to a achieve a rich aesthetic sensibility.
