Fine Grain Pictures spent five days at the BNP Paribas Open shooting and editing content for Bank of the West, a longtime sponsor of the tournament. We got to interview the legendary Billie Jean King (!), chat with CEO Nandita Bakhshi about gender equality, and watch Serena Williams, Naomi Osaka and Rafael Nadal clean house.
We’re delighted with the video we produced for the East Bay/Silicon Valley chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Working with the team there, we conceptualized a video that encapsulates the power of owning a home through Habitat, and the community that it helps create. We’re so lucky to work with such amazing people in the community!
We wrapped up the year with two Greentech Media events - the Power and Renewables Summit in Austin and the Energy Storage Summit here in San Francisco - featuring Casey Johnson, Lauren Veen, and Taj Musco on the risers and Vincent Tremblay as the man behind the curtain. Great work producing a seamless show everyone!
