25 Years of Specialty
For a quarter of a century, we’ve specialized in capturing images and telling our clients’ stories. That extended and highly focused specialty brings a problem-solving approach to every project, keeping things running smoothly, and keeping the focus on your unique story.
In our 25 years, we’ve also kept pace with the industry’s substantial changes, migrating seamlessly to today’s top video production and editing technologies. High definition, more mobility, and more flexibility… we get the most from today’s technology, and make sure it’s always a reflection of you.
Your Story is Our Passion
We understand the power of image to tell a story, and every step we take is designed to tell the story YOU need to tell. From our very first meeting to the final moments of post-production, it’s our top priority.
We’ll work with you from concept to script to finished image or completed video— with words, image, music direction, and shooting style— to convey exactly the message and image you need to portray.
An Extension of YOUR Team
Our extensive history of partnering with PR and Ad agencies means we’re experienced in acting as an extension of your own efforts, not merely as a hired vendor. We listen carefully to what your story needs to convey, what image you need to portray, and capture it… with style, ease and efficiency. You’ll love working with every member of our team.
Integrated Film, Video and Digital Photography Our award-wining track record of providing moving and still images means we can help integrate your marketing, promotional or fundraising message from print to video, with maximum efficiency, maximum impact and total brand cohesion, without losing anything in translation.
Budgets that Go Farther
We work efficiently, getting the most mileage from any budget. We own all our own equipment, a wide variety of equipment including 3 broadcast cameras and 3 non-linear edit systems. We don’t farm out any of our core services, so you get maximum return on your project investment, and keep your project running on time and on budget.
