Founded in 2003, by Dan Guachione, Curve Pictures has been brewing for some time. Dan has been building a photography portfolio as well as a motion picture reel and credit list since around 1992. The photography portfolio is mostly as an amateur photographer but has dabbled in shooting wedding videos for friends. As natural light and candid photographer Dan has prided himself as someone who shoots what he sees as it happens. 99 percent of the photos he has taken, the subjects did not know they were having a photo taken of them. All of his photos have been taken with no adjustment in lighting sources. There are very few that even were taken using a flash.
Dan has spent most of his years as a boom operator. This has kept him close to the action. As a Civil engineer major in college, problem solving came easy for him and quite handy doing his job as a boom operator. Boom operators need to be conscious at all times of camera movement, lens size, dialog changes and lighting focus. That being said Dan has learned all aspects of the film making process.
Over the years Dan has worked with some great directors and photographers and has learned from their successes and also their failures. With this obtained knowledge he has set off to produce and direct his own material.
In an effort to keep up with the internet and the direction of where the advertising business is going, the company has chosen to go off in a somewhat different direction. Curve Pictures will now produce “short films” for companies that are in need of website content and help in advertising. If your company has ever sent salespeople off to do a pitch to land any kind of account then Curve Pictures should be your first call. Curve’s first client was Puma. Puma came to Curve with a request to help them land an account with a company called Eurosport. Eurosport is an international online retail company that sells Puma products through their catalog. Curve Pictures came up with an idea to incorporate humor and a short film into Puma’s sales presentation to Eurosport. They sat the Eurosport people down to watch the short film before their powerpoint presentation. The results were great with both the Eurosport and Puma people agreeing to a ten million dollar plan for business though 2010. The Puma people cited the Curve Pictures produced video was a key factor in the deal.
Curve Pictures is a one stop shop. We will write and produce a video for you for whatever the need is. In house sales, sprucing up your website, or a simple training video. We will make it something that people will want to watch instead of having your clients bored with the same old interview/cut away to b-roll boring video. We promise…. Just ask our previous clients.
