Internal company video (excerpt)

“First To See The Light”

Director:  Chaim Bianco

Spencer Trask, a network that helps solidify brilliant ideas into sound companies and launch IPOs, contracted TimeLine to create a video celebrating their initial successes.

Director Chiam Bianco and Executive Producer Diane Cricchio wanted to visually portray the coming together of ideas and investors into one cohesive company.  Using 35mm film running at 1000 fps, TimeLine shot a light bulb exploding and then reversed the film, the fragments symbolizing the cohesion that Spencer Trask helps to achieve.  The SFX shot got TimeLine featured in an issue of Producer Magazine, with Diane on the cover.

 

The rest of the 30 minute video’s style resembled founder Kevin Kimberlin’s risk-driven but powerful business model, using unconventional and innovative shooting and editorial styles.  The video was screened both internally and online, won multiple awards, and is still used in Spencer Trask’s visual collateral today.

 

Originally produced in Standard Definition to meet pre-HD national standards.
