TEDx OJAI
LOCAL STAGE, GLOBAL REACH
Client Overview
Rise Literary, co-led by Kristen McGuiness and Lauren Porte Schwarzfeld, organized TEDx Ojai in February 2025 in Ojai, California.
Their goal: ensure every idea on stage was captured with premium video and audio so each talk could live on the TEDx platform and reach a worldwide audience.
The Ask
When Kristen and Lauren set out to bring their February 2025 event to life, they knew the conversations happening on stage needed to reach far beyond the walls of the theater. With speakers sharing ideas on how to rewrite our world toward equity, empowerment, and inspiration, video was the key to ensuring these talks would live on for global audiences.
They needed a production partner who could:
Deliver consistent, TEDx-ready coverage across 12 live talks
Capture and deliver clear, polished audio in a dynamic venue environment
The Solution
Solhaus Media was brought in to capture the event with the intention of creating professional-quality videos that would meet TEDx’s publishing standards.
We provided a two-camera set-up, one wide angle and one close-up, across 12 individual talks.
Along with filming, we handled in-house audio support and professional audio capture for clean, polished sound.
The Impact
Each speaker left the event with a high-quality, professional video of their TEDx talk — a piece of content that not only preserves their message but also amplifies their voice to a worldwide audience.
Collectively, the talks from TEDx Ojai have garnered over 540,000 views on the TED platform, ensuring that the ideas shared in Ojai continue to spark conversation and connection across the globe.
Featured Deliverables:
12 fully produced TEDx talk videos
Two-camera filming of all talks (wide + close-up)

Ideas worth spreading deserve video worth sharing.
