Latest Production Stills

Here is a variety of behind the scenes production stills. We start with one of our great clients, Don Braca from Adcomm Advertising. www.adcommadv.com (Don's on the left..) We set up the direct response shoot in our studio and the product is called the, "Twist Infinity Scarf."

Jose really gets into his work, he was the gaffer for the day and did a fine job.

Our Model Morgan looking very fashionable in her skiing outfit.

Here we are using a Kino-Flo ring light for another shoot. This is a great light for a "High Key", glamour look. A lot of music video's use this light, puts a nice ring in the pupils of eyes, great light!

Steven Caras PBS Documentary

Ko-Mar Productions was hired to shoot segments of a national PBS documentary on photographer Steven Caras. (www.stevencaras.com) The film is called, "Steven Caras: See Them Dance." Inspired by Steven Caras’ extraordinary career in the world of dance, Emmy Award winning film-makers Deborah Novak and John Witek have singled him out as their next subject for an hour-long PBS documentary. We started our filming at the prestigious, Harid Conservatory in Boca Raton, FL



Here, we ended day one at the Kravis Center ( www.kravis.org ) for many key scenes and interviews. It was a thrill to have access to Dreyfoos Hall, the main auditorium for our shoot.



Day two, we spent the day at the Dreyfoos School of the Arts (www.awdsoa.org) This day had many stages, first was capturing Steve at work as a photographer. His signature style is unique. The Steven Caras Dance Photography Archive includes in excess of 120,000 powerful images of the dance world's greatest icons and institutions. Spanning thirty years, this invaluable photographic documentation encompasses what is considered to be the most important period in the history of dance in America.

Here, rising Ballet star, Connor Walsh from the Houston Ballet (www.houstonballet.org) gets some hang time for some action shots! Next was possibly a first in the world of Ballet, the POV helmet-cam! Deborah wanted to see what it was like for the audience to experience for a brief moment what it is like to jump and pirouette.

Here is the Small HD camera, we put a wide angle lens on the body and the only thing we could think of to mount it on Connor was to mount it on Paul's bike helmet. It worked! Amazing what gaffer tape and Velcro can do.

I think Deborah liked the shot! Connor was a good sport, he said its was a "unique experience.." The documentary is slated to premier on PBS in early Spring of 2011.

Ko-Mar Goes To Pebble Beach!

You know its a big deal if you send the Senior crew to an event such as this! Its the 110th US Open, and we're there to work with Golf Digest Digital. It will be a long week for them but they have a nice view.

Here is a shot of the 18th green, the boys say its a little chilly there about a 30 degree difference from hot South Florida!

This is the massive media center. It can seem like NASA central command, Jim is producing pieces for Golf Digest and Bill Welsh editing away with our portable Avid. These will post this week on their website. (www.golfdigest.com)

Todd and Jim hard at work...we're shooting High Definition with the trusty Sony V1U to capture Pebble in all its glory!


The rounds start on Thursday, so check out their work out at the Golf Digest website. The man behind the camera is......

The one and only, Chris Demaio! Chris is one of our Senior producers. Chris and Jim are producing the various segments for the site. The Crew: Jim Gallagher, Todd Kolich, Chris DeMaio and Bill Welsh. As Anthony would say.."Nice."

Golf Digest Digital Goes, "True Blue!"

The flowers are in bloom here in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at the True Blue golf course. True Blue is located on Pawley's Island of the main drag. Check it out here: (truebluegolf.com) Golf Digest Digital has a great relationship with the Myrtle Beach area. We are shooting there once a month for some great golf tips from Peter Morrice and Stina Sternberg.


It did rain on and off during our quick trip but we managed to get our segments in between the rain drops. Weather is part of golf, not good for cameras, but we had umbrellas and took a long lunch break until it was suitable to get another tip done.


Here, Stina rehearses her golf tip segment, we usually set up two cameras, one wide and the shorter one for the close-up's..


Senior producer Chris DeMaio goes over a golf tip with P-Mo..The shoot went very well, the staff at True Blue was very helpful. The Ko-Mar crew was Chris DeMaio and Paul Piasecki. Our local SC crew was Doug Kelly and company. Overall another successful shoot and we are going back next week!

Taking a Dip in the Pool!

We were on location to shoot the latest "How to" demo DVD's for Hayward Pool Cleaning Products. (http://www.haywardnet.com/) We had to partly cloudy days hence the Arri HMI's, we threw in a Joker 800 and 3 Shiny Boards but we seemed to manage. Here we are setting up the dolly for some B-Roll shots.



We had to shoot very detailed information, we also had the help of spokeswoman Miranda Khan. (http://www.mirandakhan.com/) Bruce Porter, marketing manager for Hayward Polls flew in from New Jersey to join the Ko-Mar gang. He had a lot of great input of the specific shots we needed.



Underwater camera services were provided by Steven Miller. (http://www.stevemillerproductions.com/) He got us some great angles we didn't even think of until he was under water. He used the Sony Z1U HDV camera and this cool looking underwater rig...



Another great shoot! The crew was: Paul Piasecki, Dan Taylor, Anthony Angrisani, and our intern Valery Lugo.
