Experience
Marco Solorio has been in the media production business since 1991 including the ownership of OneRiver Media, a post-production facility located in the San Francisco bay area. He's a published writer from the likes of DV Magazine, Videography Magazine to countless online website reviews and articles. He's also appeared on tutorial DVDs instructing in the advanced practices of After Effects techniques. He's also a long-time forum host at CreativeCow.net. He's presented at NAB (National Association of Broadcasters), user group events and at educational facilities. Marco is also recognized for his creation of the Codec Resource Site, which compares the use of professional codecs in the production environment. This work has been used throughout many extensions of use by others, including Stanford University, HD symposiums, articles, white papers and technical presentations. Some of Marco's published work has been translated into many languages, including German, French, Japanese, Spanish, Italian and many more. Throughout all of this, Marco has consulted for many high-level companies, including Apple and Pixar.
Marco's talents range in a broad range of media production mediums, including video editorial, visual effects, traditional 2D animation, advanced 3D modeling & animation, audio production, music composition & scoring, interactive new media authoring, high-end web production and the advanced art of digital media encoding. Marco has long enjoyed sharing his experiences and techniques with the public which has resulted in articles that include instructional techniques for motion graphics, 3D animation, 2D animation, audio production, time-lapse digital photography, video format options, capture card reviews, standards conversions, audio hardware, video hardware, color correction, video time-remapping and many more.
With a client list of over 100 long, Marco has serviced clients from all points of the globe, including Australia, China, Japan, Canada, Scotland, Finland, Sweden and throughout the United States from San Francisco to New York and everything in-between!
In conjunction with OneRiver Media, Marco also owns Cinesoft, a software company he founded in 2006. Cinesoft's flagship software product, "Media Batch" was originally proprietary server software that Marco developed for his own studio, but because of its huge success, it was further developed and marketed for public release. Media Batch has created a huge impact in the way media production facilities share, manage, review and approve their media content with their clients and production team members. Media Batch was first shown at the Cinesoft booth at the 2007 NAB convention and has continued to attract great interest while traveling internationally to showcase the software for people to experience.
