National News


The key to our success when covering national news stories is determination. We will stay as long as it takes to get our clients' footage, that no one else has. This often means long hours of waiting for that perfect shot. You can depend on us to get the kind of footage that wins awards.

 

Here, we waited just under five hours for John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic Presidental Candiate, to FINALLY make his way to the stage and greet an enthusiastic Arizona Crowd for ABC's Primetime LIVE.

 

 

ABC News LogoWhen Hurrican Katrina hit New Orleans, Louisianna in the fall of 2005, America's Most Wanted and ABC News called upon Picture This Productions to cover the largest natural disaster in US history. We spent nearly one month on the Gulf Coast, covering the devastation not only in New Orleans, but Baton Rouge, Gulf Port, and other surrounding areas as well.



 
 
Local News

Local news is about people doing something, not something being done. We've done stories on people from all walks of life. We got up close and personal with a Mesa, Arizona teenager who although terrified of heights, climbed a 200 foot electrical tower to save his autistic brother. We followed Brook DeWalt, a Phoenix Theater manager through his last day on the job at a landmark theater that was closing after decades of service to make way for a new parking structure. These stories and others impact the communities in which people live. Picture This Productions, Inc. was on hand to share these moments with their families, friends and neighbors in various markets across the country from North Carolina, to Kansas, to Arizona.

Cable News

Today, cable TV is prevalent in almost every American household. Viewers have the ability to choose topic specific programming on hundreds of channels. Programmers provide audiences with shows they want to watch, on topics they want to see.

Reality based television offers a glimpse of life through the eyes and ears of another. Picture This Productions recently worked with Court TV to broadcast the trial of the State of Arizona V. Caliri, in which a housewife was accused of hiring a hit man to kill her husband.

CNBC Logo Many cable viewers like to be kept up to date on events around the world 24 hours a day. These news outlets provide the viewer with interesting facts and stories that traditional broadcast viewers might not see. Picture This Productions was on hand with CNBC as Penn Racquet Co. announced it was manufacturing a 6% larger tennis ball. This helps those new to the sport learn how to play a little easier while allowing older players the ability to play a little longer.
