The video Litewave Media earned the award for premiered at a Las Vegas trade show and showcases Litewave Media’s video production and video post-production capabilities. In addition to post production video editing, the Tampa production company also created an original song by Tampa Bay musician Eddie Reyes and Litewave Media’s own Christian Schwier. The corporate video was filmed in high definition using Litewave Media’s Canon 7D and Panasonic HVX-200.
Litewave Media teamed up with “The Buying Coach” for their latest corporate video production. The Tampa video crew combined humor and education in this video project highlighting the proper way to buy a car without breaking the bank. Litewave Media saw the entire video production through from start to finish. The project began when Litewave Media’s Christian Schwier penned the 60 page script for the hour long video. From there, the script was filmed over the course of three days in their Tampa video studio. Litewave Media also oversaw the post-production process from editing to voice overs and audio remastering.
The final Buying Coach video production included the hour-long video and three commercials ranging from 15 seconds to a minute in length as well as several web shorts.
This week, Litewave Media’s Tampa video crew was filming a TV show with the TLC network for a Tampa video production. TLC’s hit show Extreme Couponing came to the Tampa Bay area and hired Litewave Media to execute another successful video production. The show, Extreme Couponing follows several savvy shoppers through a shopping trip where they must stretch their buck to save as much money as they can. TLC and Litewave Media Studios were at a local Kmart for a full day of photography and video production for an upcoming TV episode.

Last year I got a chance to check out the Saint Petersburg Grand Prix for the first time from the sidelines and had a blast, so when we got the call from a Japanese production company to film a series of TV commercials for Japanese racecar driver Takuma Sato we were very excited. The weekend of video production turned out to be quite intense.
With full access passes, we were able to even get out on the track and shoot just a few feet from the cars racing by! Our tampa video production crew got some great footage of the event. (Check out our pics below). Our St. Petersburg production crew also filmed an exclusive interview with Takuma Sato and got some great behind the scenes video footage. We hope to go back again next year!
