Now celebrating 30 Years!!!
ARIA Motion Pictures is now international, but back at home in San
Deigo... "Hollywood South". On the right is a frame from a long term
project that took us throughout the Caribbean. A lot of politics played
out and we worked Pirates filming, and a whole bunch more... even
survived one of the worst hurricanes in history, but in the end, the
staff and crew of ARIA has returned to our original home base location
in Ramona, California.
ARIA has done a LOT of
shooting in Florida, working with Disney production groups there, and
from 2005, to 2010, we even had our own aerial division with three
production helicopters to play with, while we attempted to move the
core of the company into the Virgin Islands area of the Caribbean,
following the shooting of two Pirates films on the commonwealth of
Dominica, where ARIA had planned to move the operations into the
Eastern Caribbean (at the request of the Oganisation of Eastern
Caribbean States' [OECS] Film Task Force). This, in an effort to expand
island media production into the international marketplace with the
export of island generated content.
Being staffed by a very small but very efficient permanent staff, ARIA
has been capable of creating high-end high definition content at big
level results, from just a small group of people, and very minimal but
efficient equipment, which has now become the mainstream for a LOT of
content these days.
ARIA, being a forerunner in HD
video production right at from the beginning, we know how to capture a
great HD product. Shows like: "Choosin' Cruising" are tokens to that
achievement in HD content. In our show: "Why We Fly", there is some of
the best air to air content ever seen in high definition! So far, we've
seen NOBODY match our air to air shots, and that is a huge (and
admittedly quite arrogant) statement. However, even within the
industry, we still get rousing comments and compliments on just how
good the images are, and how impossible it seems they would have been
to get. No... it wasn't easy.

With the cancelled move to the Caribbean now behind us, ARIA will work back into the San Diego production field, and then
reestablish our connections with our Hollywood associates who we hopeful
for the new Caribbean base, but we all ended up finding out Mother
Nature is not to be underestimated, and you don't want a whole lot of
valuable production gear having to be evacuated annually for the
Caribbean "Storm Season", which stopped the production of "The
Efficiency Expert", and the preproduction steps for the huge film, "Final Trumpet".
With
our new UHD production capabilities a little stunted due to loss of a
studio
full of equipment on the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico, during
Hurricane Maria (2017), and then the need to reset and recover, we
return to Ramona lean but still packing what we need to in order to
rejoin the production market and merge into the mainstream game,
starting "right in our backyard", as we did thirty years ago, and tap
off of the unlimited production capabilities of new equipment, new
technologies, faster and more efficient methods of distribution, and
even the capabilities of creating our own media channels. Exciting
times to come, and we have thirty years or experience to back it all
up. Get ready...
............
. . . The best is yet to come!
