From the wise words of Rocky Balboa, “If this is something you wanna do, and if this is something you gotta do, then you do it.” With celebrating our 10 year anniversary, these words still ring true to us. Rocky, “Fighters fight”. Filmmakers film, so that’s what we continue to do. We look forward to the next 10 years of filming.

Don’t forget to buckle up on your way to a film shoot.

Do any other videographers/filmmakers relate to this? Who else travels using the seat-belt method? It’s like we are strapping in “our kids”

One year ago Lifetime’s highly acclaimed series TextMeWhenYouGetHome Season 2, Episode 7 that we filmed aired.

Arizona Iced Tea has kept its same pricing (99 cent cans) since 1992 and the founder just said he has no plans to raise it in the future.

In 1992, a gallon of milk was $1.13, a gallon of gas was the exact same, and a 23-ounce can of Arizona iced tea was 99 cents.

“We’re successful. We’re debt-free. We own everything. Why? Why have people who are having a hard time paying their rent, pay more for our drink?” - Don Vultaggio, the chairperson and cofounder of Arizona Iced Tea.

With inflation and shrinkflation being hot topics, this speaks volumes to the way Arizona Iced Tea is run as a business. Instead of raising prices, they have streamlined their process: been able to make it faster, ship it better, and ship it closer.

We are proud to showcase our collaboration with Lifetime TV. Last year, our team was hired to film an episode for the highly acclaimed series TextMeWhenYouGetHome.

The result is a gripping 41-minute episode that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, showcasing our commitment to delivering top-notch storytelling and visual excellence.

Good lighting is one of the most integral aspects in creating compelling visuals in video production. Crucially, it can completely transform a scene’s mood and atmosphere. Whether you are shooting a documentary or a promotional advertisement, harnessing the proper lighting can add an extra layer of depth that strengthens a narrative or further highlights featured products.

It’s every marketer’s dream to have a campaign that they worked hard on go viral. Our HoverGlide campaign videos have been viewed OVER 65 MILLION times and shared across numerous publications.

A series of well executed videos was the only way to explain how this revolutionary backpack would work.

Actors or employees for a corporate video? Actors are a vital part of all sorts of corporate videos, from viral campaigns to sales presentations and product demonstrations. Here's some reasons why you should think about using actors for your next video. 1: Actors have the experience and skills to deliver your message to your audience in the way you want. 2: Professional talent provides a confident on-camera presence. 3: They usually need little instruction as they have already worked with production companies before, making filming quicker. With careful pre-production and solid direction during the shoot, good talent will deliver great results.

Did you ever wonder if you can create an office video studio? Here is a before and after of how we transformed office space in a historic home in Philadelphia for a video shoot. Follow these steps and a studio in your office can be a very useful and convenient digital marketing strategy for your company’s video content. 1: Choose a clean background whether it’s a solid color or natural environment. 2: Choose the right lighting and angle them in the right places. 3: Choose and learn your camera and place them accordingly 4: Set up audio for clear diction. 5: Eliminate distractions whether it’s sound or clutter.

Here's a shot from our soccer commercial shoot. Using the magic of video editing, our blue screen will be replaced with a full soccer stadium. Because blue screens have lower luminance, there’s less chance of color spill around the edges of your actors. If you’re filming a shot where the actor and the chroma key background are close together, use a blue screen as it will help ensure the color spill will be much less.
       
Whether you’re making a sci-fi epic or a quiet indie character study, the right color of backdrop coupled with chroma key technology can unlock a new world of opportunities for your film.
