Today we’d like to introduce you to Vic Alavi.
Vic, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I came to the United States from London/England in early 2000 for a short sabbatical that turned into a permanent stay. I had a solid background in Architectural design through education and practice and photography as a hobby and a profession. I had an aptitude in design due to my past experience and gravitated towards graphic design as a past time which quickly turned into a new profession with solid potentials for expansion.
The natural progression of graphic design to Motion graphic designer happened during early years of my graphic design career, and the possibilities of new applications and their capabilities were memorizing and led me to sit in front of computers for long hours and learn and improve. I was hired at a National HD Tv station to create Motion graphics and program intros for numerous TV shows which earned me a local Emmy award.
During my seven years stint at the Tv station, I met and admired many professionals of which 2 are my business partners at our company Blue Barn Creative. We created this company nearly nine years ago, and I am happy to say that it’s going from strength to strength.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road to success is never smooth or easy, and if it feels smooth or easy, you are not trying hard enough. We have had our struggles and challenges. The constant changing landscapes of clients in our industry due to new technology requires you as a video production agency to be flexible and resourceful.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Blue Barn Creative – what should we know?
Our projects have included nationally televised commercials, creative brand films, promotional videos, and documentaries. Blue Barn specializes in video production services and is located in San Diego. We work with clients locally, and across the United States, our goal is to elevate brands with filmmaking.
The video production services we are best known for our branded content, micro-docs, web films, and commercial productions. Our styles of writing, directing, and cinematography is the common threads throughout all of our work. Even our most polished commercial productions benefit from our documentary-style filming and striking visuals.

Our ultimate goal is to capture the essence of things and to showcase everything that is relevant and special. Then we attempt to translate that into cinematic brilliance. We strive to provide maximum value for our clients with every film and every piece of branded content we make.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
I feel being able to connect to other people at a human level is the key to any kind of success. There are numerous websites with different kind of business Gurus telling us to do it this way or do it the other way, but the real secret for success is to be approachable and considerate, and the rest will take care of itself.
