Video Production
Lights, camera, action! Video production is the art of creating visual content that can guiltlessly be binged on. From creating compelling ads that reek of #brandgoals to informing viewers about the latest technology trends, the process is a meticulously coordinated dance of ideation, scripting, shooting, editing, and post-production. From brainstorming quirky ideas to perfecting the final cut, video production demands hard work, dedication and some major caffeine-induced all-nighters. So if you’re ready to bring your vision to life and leave your mark in the industry, grab your camera, your laptop, and let’s roll!

The video production process has several stages that we’ll take you through. First, we’ll ideate and write a concept and script during pre-production. Then, we’ll move on to the filming stage where we’ll ensure that everything looks and sounds great with our gear and technical skills. During post-production, we’ll perfect the video with editing, sound design, and visual effects. Our clients are an important part of the process, collaborating with us through every step and directing us on their specific needs. We look to maintain open communication and creative problem-solving to bring our clients’ vision to fruition.
Types of Video Production We Offer
Your promotional video is as vital as your business card to introduce and create excitement about your company’s products and services. Video also has many purposes within your business, ranging from training employees to targeted marketing. Video augments your existing marketing materials with music, voice and visual representation of what you can do for your customers.
Businesses and organizations spend large amounts of money for training, promotional and special events, and fund raisers. Documentation of these live events serves multiple purposes from creating raw material for re-purposing in video to allowing information to be shared long distance or after-the-fact with employees, volunteers, or funders. Documenting expensive events stretches your budget and your reach.
Video has tremendous educational value in conjunction with more traditional educational formats. Video provides learners with an emotional experience that helps reinforce traditional teaching techniques, appeals to all learners, and benefits learners who respond best to aural and visual stimulation.
Many productions contain some content that doesn’t lend itself to videotaping and must be dynamically generated. That content might be logos, photographs, 3-D models, 2-D charts and graphs, and print information for opening titles, lower thirds, and closing credits. Give your production the professional look that comes from well-designed motion graphics.

Royal Family Kids is a five-day resident camp for abused, neglected and abandonded kids. At camp we provide these kids with positive experiences that will change their lives. Things such as “Everyone’s Birthday”. So often our kids have had bad or forgotten birthdays that shape how they see them themselves—unimportant. We want them to know how amazing and special each one of them are and this is one way we do it! Each child has their own cake, ice cream, presents, and there are games and fun activities too! Sometimes even special guests!
This corporate video was a blast to work on. It challenged me to work within very strict branding guidelines, so it forced me to get creative in how to tell the story visually. I didn’t want just a bunch of talking heads and full screen video, so I spent a lot of time in After Effects creating motion graphic bricks that I could change on the fly. This allowed me to reuse the elements in various spots but change the content within the graphics. I also wanted to keep the viewer engaged throughout, which is difficult with dry content such as a corporate video, so I used a lot of fast moving graphic elements and short screen times so the user wouldn’t feel bored.
Although this is an old video, I still show it because of the challenge it brought on. It was during a video production class in college that we were challenged to write, shoot, edit and showcase a three to four minute video in a three hour time-frame. I was lucky enough to be able to grab a young couple off of the streets of Chicago and run with my idea. I had 40 minutes of footage in the can and was able to edit the piece in under 30 minutes. Just making the deadline put a huge smile on my face and made me realize that I can most definitely keep my calm with tight deadlines and turn out a pretty solid production.
During open auditions to host the Discover Wisconsin tv series, I was given the opportunity to help a young woman give a try at her chance of fame. For this production I did it all: script, location scouting, producing, directing, audio engineer, camera operator, and post production. As there were over 4,000 entries, sadly she was not chosen; however, we had a blast with this project.
This is a major fast-paced, sleepless assignment. There is a small team of video and still shooters that run around the grounds filming everything from bands, grounds and campers to the art tent, petting zoo and seminars. We take countless hours and still and create a daily recap video to be played just before the headliner. I am responsible for motion graphics, music selection, animations, camera operator, lighting, voice work and video editing.
