CAV Media Studios of Napa was awarded the video documentation contract with Suulutaaq Inc. contractor for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Napa River-Napa Creek Flood Protection Project.
CAV Media Studios the video received the contract because of CAV’s extensive construction related video experience with clients like The Dutra Group, EPRI, Bechtel and many more, and being a local company with sufficient qualifications.
The scope of this project consists of videotaping the properties located along side the area of railroad track trestles being lifted and moved that have been identified in the flood control project as causing impediments that contribute to flooding of downtown Napa.
“CAV Media knows how to operate in the complex environment of a construction or construction related job site,“ Bob Burton, of CAV Media Studios and the Executive Producer in charge of this project said. “This kind of industrial video work is the foundation we grew from. And although we produce videos ranging from historical documentaries to live entertainment to winery commercials and video brochures, we continue to keep our construction roots alive.”

CAV Media Studios has teamed up with V. Sattui Winery to create an entertaining new way to develop relationships with new customers and existing ones while teaching them about the winery and its products.  It’s called “The Wine Guys” segments.  These fun segments include Tom Davies, President and Peter Godoff, Senior Vice President of V. Sattui, pairing food with V. Sattui wines and arguing about their favorites.  “They are becoming the “Siskel and Ebert” of Wine,” stated Bob Burton, President and Executive Producer at CAV Studios. “We can shoot and produce a high quality, high-definition Internet-ready piece with a turn around time of two days. The production package includes two or three segments of online material, b-roll for future marketing video promos.  You’ll be up and running in the video-sharing world in no time, and existing customers will return to your web site just to see what’s new,” stated Mr. Burton.  “It’s called taking advantage of social media marketing, which seems to be the wave of the future for businesses looking to expand in today’s world of pod casters, bloggers and YouTubers,” stated Burton.

CAV Media Corporation has partnered with Artistworks Inc., to produce a series of exciting on-line universities.  There is one thing different about these schools, however.  Legendary musicians themselves teach the lessons. “They are unique in that they allow students from around the world to learn from the very people they aspire to be,” stated Bob Burton, Executive Producer at CAV Media who is overseeing shooting and editing for the universities. The first University, “The DJ Qbert Skratch School” is scheduled to launch in Early 2009.  This video-learning site will be subscription based and will be taught by DJ Qbert and some of his very famous associates.  After studying a series of skratching techniques from basic to exotic and beat juggling, students can then send in their own videos to Qbert who will respond by offering his personal guidance and suggestions. “There is no central place for far-flung Turntablists to gather, so this platform will provide those who want to learn with a great opportunity,” says David Butler, Founder and CEO of ArtistWorks, Inc.
