History

Anthony Burokas has been producing award winning audio and video for 20 years. From electronic cinematography, lighting, and shooting, to editing, duplication and distribution, he has the experience you need from concept to completion. He has lectured, taught, trained and consulted worldwide. Here are some highlights.In 1995, IEBA Communications, LLC was incorporated to facilitate the four month, on-location production of an eight-part Alaskan outdoor adventure series, Wilderness Adventures Off The Beaten Path. Whether it was hanging off ice glaciers, or 14 days on a river rafting boat, Anthony directed multiple cameras, and edited the series with an energy that enables this video series to still be on store shelves today.

All the while, he was technical director, graphics manager, camera operator, and lead editor for the PBS series Flavors of America. In 2001, the American Film Institute partnered with Sony and held a nationwide competition for video production. Anthony’s work on Flavors of America helped it to capture the award for Excellence in Performance Coverage. In 2005, the series became Healthy Flavors to reflect the nation’s interest in eating healthier. See a behind the scenes video here.

In 2008, Anthony upgraded the entire production to full 1920×1080 HD. He selected and integrated all production and post-production equipment used on the series. See a sample of the HD video here.

Merck & Co., Inc. tapped Anthony Burokas to oversee the video studio in their E-Learning and Training facility just outside Philadelphia. There Anthony handled all aspects of production– producing, directing, editing, and online interactive delivery. Anthony also managed fiscal and long-term development plans for the studio itself while serving dozens of new in-house clients every month.

The highlight of this work was a 14 minute training film to instruct sales representatives in best practices when dealing with doctors- but do it in a very lighthearted manner. The script took the MyCall product and integrated it into Monday Night Football and created Monday Night MyCall which uses two over the top “sports anchors” and “on the field” reporters to illustrate good and bad.

This award winning video seamlessly integrated both professional and non-professional talent- which cut costs dramatically, yet Anthony kept the product top notch all the way through. In addition ti internal and external awards, the video was also sought out and adopted for use in other countries, and translated into other languages.

Because of his work at the forefront of the field, and some 15 years in the event videography business, Information Today brought Anthony on board as one of the founding contributing editors when they launched EventDV Magazine in 2006.

Anthony was the HD-Today columnist as the event videography industry began its hesitant transition from the old formats to today’s HD standards. Thousands of professionals nationwide relied on his qualitative product reviews for their studio upgrade plans. Not content with giving Anthony’s comparative reviews an extensive 6 or 8 pages of the magazine, they featured Anthony on the cover for his test of high-end consumer HD camcorders in Alaska. He continues reviewing production gear for EventDV today.

In 2009, Anthony moved IEBA Communications— production services, editing, and all rentable gear, to the ever-growing DFW metropolitan area to reach a new level of clientelle. He partners with local freelancers to continue to cost-effectively produce video that exceeds his clients’ needs. More information can be found at IEBA.com
