White Whale Pictures has teamed up with long-time friend and well-known Native American talent, James Junes, for an upcoming animation project. Junes, known for his stand-up comedy with the duo, James and Ernie, as well as his role as Han Solo in the Navajo-dubbed version of Star Wars, will be voicing a character in a new WWP project.

Let’s be honest. Any industrial company, whether you’re in fossil fuels or clean energy, wants that sign on that fence that reads ‘417 Days Since a Recordable Incident’. But what is the difference between the companies that have that sign and the ones with the smudged dry-erase marks and a ‘0’ where ‘417’ should be? In most cases, it’s their investment in videos that teach and train their employees how to be safe.

As part of our continued effort to make working with White Whale Pictures the best experience for our customers, we’re bringing you a series of blog posts covering a wide variety of areas when it comes to creating a video production for your company. We hope you find them useful and informative!

ARE YOU PAYING TOO MUCH FOR VIDEO PRODUCTION?

Carriage Services, a billion-dollar company in the death care industry, has teamed up with WWP to help with their video marketing needs.

Based out of Houston, Texas, the company has partners all over the United States and has asked WWP to provide content for their national conference happening this month in New Orleans, Louisiana. Production started in late December and consists of drone, animation and product videography.

We’re excited to announce that Sun Hub & Digital Route 66 have partnered with our team at White Whale Pictures to create a mixed medium production, consisting of live action footage and animation for their latest project.

The production will highlight Sun Hub’s efforts to bring high capacity, long-haul broadband fiber to the state of New Mexico, which currently ranks dead last in connectivity among other states.

The video will be used a visual tool for both state and federal leaders in upcoming sessions as they make their decisions on funding the project.

We’re very excited to announce that WWP has partnered with a new client, Intel, a global leader in computer processor production. We will be doing video productions for the plant based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which will include drone and ground work. Pre-production is already underway and we plan to start shooting in mid-October.

After a successful series of videos for Leeward Renewable Energy and their Argonne Wind Farm in New Mexico, White Whale Pictures has now signed on to do a pair of productions for their Panorama Wind Farm in Colorado and their Crescent Ridge location in Illinois.

Negotiations are set to begin this week for the purchase of White Whale Pictures’ new documentary series, which will be written, produced and directed by Justin. WWP has already signed production agreements with LA-based Balcony 9 Productions as well as Jupiter Entertainment, the production company behind such shows as Homicide Hunter and Snapped!, along with the Emmy-winning series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath.

For the fifth time, we’ve teamed up with artist Tony Mauro to design the artwork for our new television pilot, Austere Nation. Tony, known for his work on Pirates of the Caribbean, Chronicles of Narnia and the new series of Stephen King books, has worked with Justin on four previous projects, including Far Too Far, The Speed of Orange, The Observer and Addicted to Porn: Chasing the Cardboard Butterfly.

White Whale Pictures can now say it is a coast-to-coast production company thanks to our new collaboration with Global Partners, a fuel company based in the Boston area. Global, which has over 20 company operated terminals, 1500+ retail locations and fills over 1 million automobile tanks a day, recently commissioned White Whale for a number of productions in the New England area with more slated to come in the next quarter.

One of the things we do here at White Whale Pictures is help bring ideas to life on paper. We’re doing that yet again with our latest commission work to write a pilot episode for a television drama. Justin is schedule to write the first episode of Austere Nation (working title), a drama set in the not-too-distant future about the crumbling of a nation that leads to a modern day civil war.

On this date ten years ago, Justin & Metallica front man James Hetfield appeared together on the national morning news program, Fox & Friends, to discuss our documentary, Absent. The film took an in-depth look at the impact of absent and disengaged fathers. It went on to win numerous film festivals around the world and is now distributed in over 70 countries in a dozen languages, still having a massive social impact to this day.
