About Us
It was 1998 when Peregrine Media Group began this journey, producing environmental films and what ever else we could muster to make ends meet. Digital Video was just coming of age, and computer editing was considered cutting edge. So with a single DV camera, a Pentium computer, a 10 GB hard drive and an ideal, we set out to enhance the way people think about the subjects we care about.
Today, nothing has changed fundamentally. Our heart is still worn on every frame. We work for brands and causes we believe in, and every production must reach further than the last. What has changed is the World that surrounds us, the way we do things, the tools we work with, and the clients we work for. Our DV cameras of old are now replaced by color infused 8K cinema cameras. Our fascination for the craft has magnified with the progression of digital cinema. Our creative options have exponentiated after twenty-two years in the business. And most importantly, between our first project and our last, we’ve learned what makes good media great.
If you’re looking into our services you’re probably looking for a boutique production company that produces a big market product. You might be working with a tight budget but you don’t want your audience to know it. You want your vision to shine, so your audience feels what you want them to feel, and does what you want them to do. And above all, you want to sleep at night, knowing that we’ve got this, because we always do.
We work for clients all over the world, spanning local, regional, national and international spheres of influence. Whether you’re a producer, director, creative agency, small business, or individual, we look forward to hearing about your next project.
Production Services
Aerial Cinematography
Whether it’s cinema drone videography you are looking for, or full blown 8k Cineflex cinematography, PMG Film is a premiere provider of all things aerial on the West Coast. Quality aerials begin with quality planning, and they end with know-how and execution. For this reason, proper pre-visualization and forecasting are paramount in our process. When the light and conditions are right, we know what to bring, we know what to do, and we look forward to making your shots EPIC, every time.
Cinema Drone: Our cinema drone service toes the line between cinematic excellence and affordability, making quality aerial video an accessible option for clients big and small. We deliver 6K RAW video from a mid-sized quad-copter. Dual operator flexibility brings a new standard for small scale aerial videography, allowing the pilot to focus on the lines and public safety, while the camera operator maximizes impact for your audience. We offer highly competitive pricing but your audience will never know it. This is our guarantee.
8K Cineflex Aerials: If you’ve watched Planet Earth, you’ve witnessed the capability of “Big Bird” aerial cinematography. Our Cineflex team is one of the finest in the West, and we’ll prove it to you. Our recent film “This Place” was featured at the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival in 2017, and it’s selection to be screened during the closing ceremony was a testament to both this technology, and our steadfast methodology for world class aerial production. All of our Cineflex work is shot in brilliant RED 6K and 8K resolution, with cinema lenses in-tact, so the benefits always meet the cost for large scale or multi-location productions.
Creative Direction
From day one, Peregrine Media Group has specialized in script to screen, full service media production. We know that a great production can only come from a great concept. One that hooks an audience and holds them from beginning to end. But a truly effective concept has to be more than creative. It has to be practical and obtainable as well. We meet very few clients with unlimited budgets. The key to our success is our ability to maximize both your impact and investment with mindful creative direction. We work closely with agencies, directors, brands and businesses to build your “yellow brick road.” We want your media to be more than you thought possible. And by crafting and communicating our strategies thoughtfully, you’ll know this before a single frame has been shot.
8K RED Cinematography
Our firm commitment to ultra high resolution image capture is our promise to always exceed the needs of our clients. Yes, we utilize the most advanced camera system on Earth. The RED V-Raptor does it all. 8K full frame image capture, ultra high frame rates up to 600 frames per second, legendary RED RAW color science, check, check, check. Match this with our Canon super speed cine prime lenses, and award winning creative execution, and you have a winning formula to take your brand, your film, your image to the next level.
We deliver and tech our V-Raptor camera package for any shoot in the western United States. Give us a call to discuss your needs, and let’s get to work!
Grip and Lighting
Our new 2 ton grip and lighting trailer is built to give us options in just about any shooting scenario. And the crew that comes attached keeps us shooting with minimal adjustments in the color suite. “Fix it in post” is not a welcome phrase on the PMG set. We prefer to get it right from the beginning. If this is your goal as well, we are happy to send this trailer out with one of our top grips or gaffers, on any shoot. Indoor or out, this unit is built for small scale shoots where precision is paramount. We also offer this unit as added firepower to larger scale commercial and feature shoots that come to the area. The 14×7 trailer comes complete with our Toyota Tundra tow vehicle, a loading ramp at the rear, grip, head, and camera carts, state of the art Softpanels bi-color LED lighting, ample Mole tungsten fixtures, stands galore, comprehensive light control, and more.
