Aleph has a fully equipped video studio and editing facility. It produces features, corporate videos, community service productions, as well as short commercial pieces, broadcast quality as well as producing streaming media for Internet broadband and dialup.

Aleph organizes, manages and executes media projects of this size and scope by identifying and selecting actors and crew on a case-by-case basis. We have a pool of crew-members with whom we work on a regular basis for local and overseas projects.

Scope Of Work

Our teams have worked in the US and abroad. We have been commissioned for international work by humanitarian and other public agencies to produce compelling pieces to highlight the beauty and the plight of the developing world. We have a good mix of commercial, social, and entertainment in the work we do, and have the skills and technology to port existing content to the web, as well as produce original content for webcasting and streaming.

Producers

Our producers have worked on several short and mini-features, being involved in everything from budgeting to location scouting and scheduling.

Cameramen/Directors

We have three excellent directors working with us, with expertise in commercial work, feature films, and short pieces ranging from 10 seconds to 3 minutes for the Internet.

Editors

Our editors have been responsible for editing several short films, and some for NibbleBox.com. They have also worked with the National Broadcasting Society at Emerson College and are putting together a digital media show for Emerson college students. The editors use the highest grade equipment and are familiar with all forms of editing software from low end (premiere) to high end (Avid/Final Cut Pro)

Actors

There are a select few actors that we work with on a regular basis, with a range of experience on stage and film and are able to adapt to a wide variety of scripts.

Scriptwriter

We have three scriptwriters, one of whom has assisted on the creation of scripts for several movie shorts (The Perils of Eve), a Feature on Digital Video (Blue Ice). He also wrote for a weekly show (Review This!) on a local Television station. He has also worked on the documentary for an Emerson College student film (The Dare), and did a short documentary on holocaust survivor (Life of Stephen Ross). The other two have largely focused on social issues and community-based projects. We have access to a larger pool of writing talent as well.

Media

The feature work and short films are mostly shot in 16mm, 35mm, or DVPRO. The shorter pieces are shot in miniDV.

Internet Ready

A full suite of skills and tools is used to create original work for the internet as well as scrubbing and encoding of existing content. This covers web streaming as well as downloads, for broadband as well as dialup.
