From filming interviews with CEOs to capturing iconic moments at graduation, Litewave Media had a blast working with Tampa’s very own Ultimate Medical Academy (UMA). Our Tampa video production company recently sat down with CEOs Steven Kemler and Lowell Lifschultz for a brief history of how Ultimate Medical Academy came to be in 1994. Since the foundation of Ultimate Medical Academy, it has supported over 30,000 students in their careers and futures, offering programs online and on campus. With programs ranging from Healthcare Management to Nursing, Ultimate Medical Academy provides it’s students with the tools they need to move forward.

Over the course of the last few weeks, Litewave media has been staying at the top of its class. We visited Ultimate Medical Academy’s Tampa Campus, equipped with our grip truck as well as camera gear from our Tampa video equipment rental packages. On the day of shooting we set-up three solid black backdrops, using Combo-stands, Rigging Ears, and Tie-line to create a uniform look for our day to come. Setting up the cameras came next. Behind the cameras we had Litewave Media owner and founder Christian Cashmir on a Canon C300; Eric Coughlin on a Canon C100; and Mark Farag on a Canon C100 MkII. Using a KinoFlo 4 Bank lighting kits, 2 Bi-Color LEDGO units, and a few flags to shape the light; we were ready to starting rolling.

Shortly after interviewing the CEOs of Ultimate Medical Academy, we took part in their fall graduation. We quickly got to work capturing the memories being made by the 2016 graduating class. The day moved quickly, with Eric Coughlin wearing a Steadicam set-up and filming with a Canon C100, Christian Cashmir behind the Sony A7s mkii stabilized by a Sachtler Mono-pod, and Sasha Sebesta with a Canon 5D in hand. From registration and heartfelt speeches to walking across the stage, Litewave Media made sure to capture all of Ultimate Medical Academy’s 2016 fall graduation moments.
