Our Past
Picture This has been in business since 1984. Its founders included the current President and CEO, Perry Loveridge. Not only is he an executive, but Perry is also the primary event consultant, producer, director of photography, and strategist. The current COO/CMO is Sari Loveridge, who joined the company in 1990. At the time, Sari came on board as Marketing Director and Production Coordinator. Picture This has grown by leaps and bounds throughout the years, which means it has had to relocate 5 times, and add facilities. As of right now, Picture This has three facilities in and around Portland. The main building of Picture This boasts 3000 square feet of sound and production space. Across the street is where the company houses its rental video production equipment, along with a space for post-production work. The third facility is a large 5000 square foot complex that is used for office space and for storing live event production equipment.

What Picture This Believes
At Picture This we believe that the customer is always the main focus. It’s what keeps customers coming back again and again. Whether providing equipment for a small presentation, or for a large outdoor show, great customer service is the focus of everything we do. Picture This is never satisfied until the customer is.

Our Vision
Picture This has worked hard to build a rock solid reputation in the AV rental and production services industry. That means not just providing high-quality production equipment, but also providing impeccable customer service. Our facilities are always clean and well-organized, in particular the spaces that are for rental. Our belief is that all of our facilities should be treated like a hotel. Our clients should always feel comfortable in a clean and safe environment.

The Industry
There were no other Production Services companies in Oregon and possibly the Pacific Northwest when Picture This started out. We filled a specific niche that was not being filled by anyone else. That niche was providing top-quality equipment, crew, rentals, an event services. Most production companies aim to have a small number of large clients. Picture This, however, went at things a little differently. We wanted to be diverse and flexible. Not only could we have those big clients, but we also focused on hiring the best crew staff and providing the highest quality professional equipment. Since we started, many others have entered the industry trying to mimic our success, but many have failed. We simply have the best staff and the best inventory, bar none.

At Picture This, we understand that we are only as good as the team we assemble. That is why everyone who we hire is fully vetted and meets the incredible standards we place on ourselves.

Not only that, but we will take care of any state or federal payroll services as well. We can provide crew to travel all over the country and the world. Our clients trust us, and know that if they hire through us, they are getting only the best. That is why they will not work with anyone else.

Some of our most high-profile clients include broadcasters such as History Channel, Discovery Channel, Comedy Central, RAW TV, TLC, MTV Networks, and Fujisankei Communications. We also work with corporations such as Nike, Palau Association, Adidas, FLIR, Columbia Sportswear, and many more. Before Picture This, Oregon did not have a service provider that could handle coordinating, crewing, providing equipment, and production work for Electronic Press Kit (EPK), Electronic Field Production (EFP), and Behind the Scenes (BTS). These all need dedicated experts as directors of photography and audio engineers. They may also require makeup services and assistants. For these types of productions, we can provide top-quality cameras with state of the art lenses, lighting, and audio equipment. If the production is particularly large, we have grip vans and trucks for use as well.

Hillsboro Production Equipment Rentals
The rental division of our business has provided state of the art audio and visual equipment for more than 30 years. We provide it to local producers, but also for productions around the globe. We make sure that our scheduling is always tight so that we can send equipment to where it needs to go at a moment’s notice. There is nobody bigger in Oregon.

A big part of our rental services is cameras, and we have only the best cameras in the industry. In fact, Picture This was renting high-definition cameras before anyone else in Oregon. At the time, we listened to our clients and made sure that they had access to the best cameras for their productions.

Currently, the cameras that we rent most often are the ARRI Alexa Mini, Sony PXW-FS7 M2, Panasonic AK-HC3800, and the Sony HXR-NX5r, among others. We also have a wide range of available lenses, such as the Canon HJ40X10B Wide Angle Lens, the Canon Cine-Servo 17-120mm Zoom Lens, and the Canon CNE Primes Series. We always talk to our clients to fully understand their needs so that we can make the best recommendation for cameras and lenses to get the results they want. Not only that, but we coordinate and prepare the equipment, and provide monitors, tripods, and other accessories as needed.

Right now, being on the cutting edge means that we are providing a Fiber Optic Multi-Camera Switch System before anyone else. We have Sony Panasonic AK-HC3800 cameras and the production engineers who can get the most out of the equipment. If it’s a growing trend in the industry, you can bet that we will be the first to make it available in Oregon to our clients.
