Last year, we had the opportunity to produce three educational videos for the Raleigh Parks system. These videos, now featured on their Greenways page, serve as guides for proper trail etiquette. The challenge? Capturing high-quality visuals with a small crew and a lightweight equipment package. We needed smooth tracking shots of the talent on a bike, carefully timed sequences of extras passing by during long narration takes, and all of this had to be executed while working under the harsh midday sun. And we couldn’t be happier with the results. Kelsea Granger's vibrant performance perfectly complements the bright, saturated visuals we captured—creating a polished, engaging final product that pops. As the weather warms up, we hope to see you all out on the trails—just be sure to follow proper etiquette! ??

Our recent shoot with Veteran Support Services brought together on-site and studio video production, photography, and design to create an impactful mock conversation between a veteran in need of support and the compassionate team at VSS. We’re passionate about producing content that truly matters. Our team is fully equipped to handle a wide range of creative services, from professional photography to design elements, all working together to elevate our projects and tell a more compelling, cohesive story. A huge shoutout to the crew that helped put this together.

A branding video should highlight the true impact of your business and communicate its core values. For Veteran's Guardian, we wanted to capture their mission by blending archival footage, testimonials, dynamic B-roll, and interviews with the company leaders. This combination allowed us to showcase the full scope of their work, from their history and growth to the meaningful difference they make in the lives of veterans. The goal was to create a compelling narrative that not only tells their story but also resonates with their audience on a deeper level, emphasizing their dedication and commitment to serving those who served.

We can capture a lot in just half a day. Sometimes, the best way to tell your company’s story is through a simple combination of an interview and on-site B-roll footage. This approach allows us to focus on the key messages, showcase your team, and highlight the unique aspects of your business in a natural, engaging way. It’s an efficient yet powerful method that helps connect with your audience and bring your story to life, all while keeping things authentic and straightforward.

We’ve captured some truly powerful stories this year—Mark’s was one of them. Our crew had the honor of witnessing the incredible work of the Caregiver Academy firsthand. Bringing Mark’s story to life was not just a privilege but a chance to share its impact with a wider audience. In total, we produced 24 segments while traveling across North Carolina, each one highlighting remarkable stories like this. Want to see more?

We've shot a lot of interviews for Restor3D. It's the best way to illustrate how effective their company is at giving quality of life back to people suffering from problematic joints. Using both our studio and on-site photography and video, we've been able to capture some incredible conversations, and hope to continue hearing these transformative stories.

Two days of filming for Veteran Support Services. We’re producing a series of videos highlighting the critical role of support care for veterans coping with service-related trauma. For topics as sensitive as this, a carefully crafted script and top-tier talent are essential to accurately portray the complexity of these experiences. A huge shoutout to the crew, HMU: Deidre Mattingly Sound: Jayden Santos Grip/BTS: Dalvin-Earl Nichols Producer: Carl Lechner IV Director: Tripp Green Director of Photography: Jarrett Swearingen

Over the past eight months, we've been busy capturing unique stories from people across North Carolina. From the mountains of Cherokee to the coastline of Morehead City, we traveled for 24 days to create eight episodes of PBS' NCImpact Season 6. We heard about North Carolina’s challenges in healthcare, childcare, an aging population, and housing, as well as inspiring successes—like the revival of dying downtowns and the resilience of our fishing industry. Bringing these stories to the screen wasn’t easy. We had a fantastic team that dedicated a large part of their year to this project, and we deeply appreciate everyone's hard work and commitment.

We're adding a new camera to the lineup ?? It's easy to talk about the tech, but what it means for our clients is more important. More versatility. More shooting options. Better shelf life for your videos. With a 6k Full-Frame sensor you're getting two things: Better lowlight for environments that we can't control, allowing us to shoot in scenarios we wouldn't otherwise feel confident in, and an incredible resolution. As videos have to do more and exist in different places, scalability is important. Now we have that flexibility to deliver in a variety of formats with zero loss in quality. With a dedicated SDI output, live production is easier. Paired with our Atomos Sumo, we can deliver high quality interviews, edited on the spot. For quicker turnarounds, this setup is essential. As the types of productions expand for us, we're always looking ahead to provide the best quality. Here's to a new year of amazing videos ??

We've added new toys just in time for Christmas ?? Say hello to our new ramp and production carts!
