Activision wanted to communicate the idea the gaming could bring modern families together. C4 was hired to create these videos illustrating examples of this idea.
2012 Jaguar XF
Los Angeles – C4 Media was chosen to edit the US dealer
commercials for the new 2012 Jaguar XJ and XF.
We went into high gear on a tight deadline to deliver a product worthy of Jaguar’s excellence. We look forward to a long and productive partnership with this time honored British Company.
NetSuite: Going Beyond the Ordinary
No matter your video needs, C4 Media can bring you quality content on any screen size. Whether small, large, square or oblong, the editors and designers at C4 are capable of creating graphics that can be presented anywhere. Most recently, we were asked to create a media piece that would be projected on a 200ft x 25ft screen at NetSuite’s annual SuiteWorld conference.
The 2013 conference, held in the San Jose Convention Center, attracted over 5,000 attendees. To kick off the event, NetSuite hired C4 to create, design and edit a promotional piece about three of their top clients. The entire video, shown above, was completely produced, designed and animated by the C4 team over a period of four weeks.
In the six-minute video, C4 highlighted School of Rock, Land O’Lakes and GoPro.
For School of Rock, C4 portrayed the ways in which the group helps kids grow in both creativity and confidence through a community of like-minded souls. NetSuite assists the School by streamlining their business with efficiency in their billing and business intelligence on one key platform.
Land O’ Lakes, a well-known dairy company, depends on NetSuite for their expansion due to the excellence of the Cloud program and their new ability to collaborate across the world.
GoPro is an innovative camera system that enables individuals to take video of images that were previously unattainable. NetSuite has helped them by saving the start-up company 100s of thousands of dollars in IT development and most recently reducing their order management process from 15 minutes to 30 seconds.
The partnership between NetSuite and their customers is one based on convenience and efficiency, two traits that C4 admires in both their clients and in their own work.
Yes on 30. C4 & the California Teachers Association.
We were hired to shoot and edit this spot for the California Teachers Association. It was a lot of fun and Danielle did a great job! Prop 30 passed, so I guess we did a good job, too.

Suite World! A Wayne’s World Parody created for NetSuite.
Welcome to “SuiteWorld”. A spoof of the classic “Wayne’s World” sketch. Netsuite, an international software company, hired C4 to do a parody of this iconic sketch, highlighting the attributes of their company. This spoof holds a special significance to Marc, because he spent his formative years watching SNL in his own basement. Please enjoy Brian Ibsen’s and Eric Satterberg’s spot on impressions of Wayne and Garth, or should I say Zach and Evan? In our version of “SuiteWorld” Party On!

2012 Jaguar XF – Edited By C4 Media from C4 Media on Vimeo.
C4 Media is thrilled to announce its association with Spark 44, Jaguar’s in-house advertising agency. There is no more inspiring and energizing brand for us to work with. Jaguar motor cars are visually beautiful and have a rich and exciting history.
Jaguar’s motto for years was “Grace, Space and Pace”, a perfect goal for any company to aspire to. Sir William Lyons who hand crafted the first Jaguar said “a car is the closest thing we can create to something that is alive”. His vision, technical skill and artistry influenced generations of Jaguars.
The Jaguar is a superstar in the auto world. They are head-turners whether parked at the market, transporting royalty to state events or being driven by world class sportsman. They are an ideal accessory for formal business occasions as a custom made suit and are just as comfortable purring along highways to beaches and country retreats. C4 Media is happy to be part of the adventure wherever these sleek cats take us.

C4 Edits the feature doc – Don’t Tell Me I Can’t
C4 just completed editing of the feature doc “Don’t Tell Me I Can’t” for Bombay Pictures. 
Here’s a little about the film from the film’s website:
What do over 160,000 kids from 30 countries have in common? The determination and imagination to know anything is possible!
Destination Imagination, is a live event that’s been happening for over 26 years, bringing together 160,000 kids and young adults from 30 countries in a mind bending, creative problem solving competition. With 16,000 person arena-filled grand championships, celebrity sponsors, and only one winner in each category, it has proven to be the perfect proving ground for sheer creativity. It has clear rules, impossible sounding challenges, and, year after year, it has found the world’s greatest young creative minds.
From cluttered garages to shiny floors, we follow five teams throughout the competition’s process. Each is vastly different in both age and personality types. From an Elementary team interested in pizza parties to a Middle school team with a prospective Broadway star, and a High School team focused on community outreach, they all show us what it means to abandon limitations and truly create. Even if that means mastering a newspaper and glue contraption that will hold over 700 pounds!
Each team’s defining traits spring forward through vibrant interviews, flip camera home videos, and scenes of distressed practices and jaw dropping performances. There will be shaving cream wars, formal newsprint / duct tape dresses, and human bicycles. We’ll also get an insiders look at some key players, including parents, team managers and tournament appraisers.
After 4 months of rigorous practices, performances, fundraising events, exhausting flights and road trips, the teams will journey from a CA State Tournament to the Annual Global Tournaments in Knoxville TN where 3 mind blowing days of tough competitions, Family Camps, Pin Trading and After-Parties await them….
Finally, we are brought to the moment each team has been waiting for and working for, the infamous Award Ceremony that attracts over 11,000 beach balls, a parade with teams from around the world, prizes, a music concert, fireworks and enough adrenaline to power up a space shuttle! With cool awards like the “Renaissance” and “Da Vinci”, our teams will find out where they placed amongst hundreds of others in this world competition. It’s easy to feel the energy of this event, as pulses race and hearts beat under the thunderous roar of the crowd. Win or lose, through fears, tears, anxiety, adulation and a whole lot of FUN, every kid walks away with memories and experiences to last a lifetime.
‘Spellbound’ meets the ‘Olympics’ of Creativity with an unstoppable determination and unbreakable spirit, when a handful of Destination Imagination teams, ages 8 to 18, involved in a worldwide creative problem solving competition teach us a lesson about the power of persistence
and teamwork.
