About

Video Production Company

BLARE Media is a client-focused video production company concentrating on the development of powerful and creative videos in Fresno, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento, Dallas, Austin as well as all throughout the Country. We offer high quality, attention-getting results that are designed to achieve the specific goals and/or target markets of each individual client.

From image acquisition to final deliverables, we bring the best equipment, software, and industry-proven workflows to every project with one thing in mind: to produce great-looking content for our clients.

BLARE Media is experienced in servicing a wide range of clients and project types, including TV commercials, feature films, shorts, content for web streaming, corporate video, training videos, trade show loopers, and even Hollywood red carpet interviews.

We like to be a total camera solution for your project. Our rates for the gear are competitive with most LA houses but since we only do wet rentals, we include a Director of Photography with every package.

How It All Started

BLARE Media was formed in 2005 by filmmaker and technology buff Justin McAleece and entrepreneur and marketer Blake Barnett. Their mission was to create the best quality video productions possible for local businesses that did not have the large budgets that bigger brands might. To that end, they designed a completely tapeless, high-definition workflow which would allow stunning image quality while being much faster and more economical to edit than film.

Jean-Luc Slagle

Director

We’ve worked with Jean-Luc on probably 50 projects over the years. We value our organic and relaxed working relationship. We’ve done a variety of types of work with him through his company Scope Studios, but much of it deals with people in real-life situations living through trials, tribulations, and successes. Our work with him usually intends to be fairly naturalistic. Jean-Luc is thoughtful, competent, holistic, talented, and most of all a pleasure to work with.

It’s always fun to work with Rickey and if there ever was a person that just loved making movies, it’s Rickey. We’ve done lots of narrative work with him and has a relationship both as crew and as producers/directors with him as crew. It’s always great to have a connection with a person through a shared passion and for Rickey, that’s definitely filmmaking. Our very own Justin McAleece even wrote a page or two in his book that you can find here: https://tinyurl.com/mr2ntwnh

I have a good and trustworthy account manager that allows me to withdraw my profits anytime I want and I can monitor everything going on in my account when she is busy trading with her expert team and I don't have issues with pending withdrawals. I must admit that she's a very honest woman. I have no way of thanking her than letting people know about her services and recommend her for everyone to trade on her platform. She's 100% accurate and up-to-date. Kindly contact Mrs. Alicia Malone
