A Dark Place stands out as an interesting Eyesview short for the sole purpose of how it was created. The short,directed by Tom Barile and featuring Raymond Klecker as the main character, follows a man walking through a dark, dream-like reality and being guided by strange voices and visions. Shot on 8mm film and completely unscripted, Tom and Raymond improvised this entire 4-minute video, taking the viewer on a strange, dark and cerebral journey. After two weeks of video and sound editing, Tom and Raymond were able to put all the pieces together to tell their story. This short is a testament to Eyesview’s inner strength of working on-the-fly, and really brings truth to our motto, Imagination Taken Seriously.
In the timeline of Eyesview’s history, the very first project was REWINDER: SCI LENT FICTION. This project was Eyesview’s first short film and in fact the first time the collective known as Eyesview assembled. Shot as part of the 2005 Orlando 36 hour film festival, REWINDER was conceptualized, shot and edited over the span of exactly 36 hours, using a prop, line of dialogue and genre assigned by the festival. After drawing the short end of the stick with the genre of SILENT FILM and the strange prop of a glowing toy ball, Eyesview ultimately persevered and devised a most clever way to put it all together!
REWINDER: SCI LENT FICTION, is about a young man who stumbles across a strange glowing orb while walking through the woods to later find out that it is actually a TIME MACHINE. Deciding to trick the laws of time,,the boy can now do and un-do anything he wants. But will he go too far?
Using camera tricks and a run-and-gun crew, Eyesview won BEST USE OF PROP in a professional category! To this day Eyesview proudly displays the trophy in the studio, and Rewinder still marks the beginning of the dedication, love and passion that made this company a reality.

So we got a new green screen and decided to pop its cherry with a project we were putting together for a “Current TV” VCAM assignment! (www.current.tv)
The project was to make a 30-second ad spot for the new T-Mobile G1 phone. So our crazy minds came together and came up with an idea to animate phones using green screen technology. This is our first Video Blog (VLOG) but there are definitely more to come!

Eyesview was recently hired by LEDO PIZZA to help create their NEW Employee Orientation Video. The month-long project spanned the country and included a three-day Maryland shoot, as well as several weeks of post-production work in the Florida studio, editing shot material, dropping in graphics, and recording voiceovers. We’re excited to report that the video is now being shown in over hundreds of LEDO PIZZA restaurant locations on the East Coast!
With American Idol sweeping the nation, Orlando followed suit with a singing competition all its own! Central Florida Fair’s ORLANDO IDOL featured local artists performing in front of celebrity judges for the chance to win the grand prize of a Professional recording session and music video. Although hundreds of people competed only one would end up with the title of “IDOL,” and that person was ALAYNA RIVERA.
With director Omar Mendez at the helm, EyesviewMedia set out to produce Alayna’s “Tomorrow” music video over three days at SOUTH ORANGE HIGH SCHOOL. With four performance pieces and three dance numbers, “YESTERDAY” was an ambitious production shot with a small crew and limited time. But with EyesviewMedia on the job, the client and talent both experienced a clean-cut, professional experience while receiving a complimenting music video to go with a great song.
