Hey-ho!!!! As part of Discovery Communication’s integration of TreeHugger.com which it acquired last August, BCP generated a grand package of deliverables based around a single shoot with multiple edits and iterations of post-production graphics…

Planet Green is the first and only 24-hour eco-lifestyle television network with a robust online presence and community.

Today, Graham Hill announced the sale of TreeHugger.com to Discovery Communications. And it sounds like Graham’s reasoning is itself quite sound. As a partner to TreeHugger since the inception of TreeHuggerTV, we couldn’t be happier for the whole team. Here’s GH (as he is referred to in eco-Leet shorthand via email and instant message) telling Ben Harper how the TreeHugger moniker came to be.

When Sundance Channel asked Big City to come up with a few example videos for their first annual “Big Ideas Contest,” TH Radio’s Jacob Gordon suggested that we get in touch with Kenny Luna the man behind Mr. Luna’s Bright Idea.

Sundance Channel asked Big City to come up with a few example videos for their first annual “Big Ideas Contest.” This video shows off the simple yet amazing patented idea some NYC high school students had for a new kind of compost box. The spot was shot by George Spyros in 24p standard definition to mini DV tape using the Panasonic DVX camcorder.

Sundance Channel asked Big City to come up with a few example videos for their first annual “Big Ideas Contest.” We choose Green Apple Cleaners and its Founder David Kistner and its awesome CO2 dry-cleaning machine as the subjects of our inquiry. Our fantastic cinematographer Marcus Burnett rolled in with the Panasonic HVX camera outfitted with the Brevis 35mm lens adapter as well as a skateboard dolly with twenty feet of track. The spot was shot in 720p native HD to P2 cards. The slow-motion footage was shot at 60-frames-per-second to really catch the eye blinks — however, the comedic pace of the show led us to speed up the shots in post. As this is a story about a big green idea, we intentionally let the image retain its green cast caused by the fluorescent house lights.

Sundance Channel invited folks to upload vids with their “big idea” for improving the state of the environment — and with $10k on the line for the winner. So, Sundance Channel invited Big City Pictures in partnership with the gang at TreeHugger to produce three sample videos for the contest.

Sundance Channel asked Big City to come up with a few example videos for their first annual “Big Ideas Contest.” This video features the kids of the Lafayette Street School in Newark, New Jersey who were taught using curricula found on the Rainforest Alliance Learning Site. This spot was shot by George Spyros in 720p HD to P2 cards using the Panasonic HVX camera with b-roll overcranked for slow-motion at 48-frames-per-second coupled with a Century Pro Fisheye Lens and lit entirely with 2 ft. 4 bank Kino Flo units articulated on c-stands.
