Services Overview:

Award-winning team. At your service.

Motion

We are a full-service video production agency. We love jumping in early to help our clients shape a vision from their messaging goals, and then executing on that vision in delightful ways. Our footprint can be tiny or large, as suits the project, and we bring our extensive motion graphics expertise to bear on projects that benefit from another dimension.

Full Service Production

Scriptwriting. Production planning. HD-6K cinematography, lighting, editing, and color grading. Sound. Motion graphics. Drone & still photography. Projection art. If your story needs it, we can even do green goo.

Projection Art

Sometimes a screen, no matter how big, is too small. In those instances, we turn to technology that casts words and images across cityscapes and landscapes. The sheer size and public nature of projection art draws attention that no screen can match, and that attention creates conversations. Each projection project is unique and works with the specifics of the projection surface and location. We design the campaigns from concept through technical execution.

Interviews & Directing

Our Emmy-award winning team combines a journalistic ethos with the know-how to draw out genuine responses.

Photography

Still images tell complex stories and convey impact - instantly. This ability is unique to photography, and it’s this power that drew us to visual storytelling in the beginning. Two of our founders are long-time photojournalists, which gives us the ability to offer top-notch in-house photography services.

Augment Your Team

We work well together with others! Consider adding us to your team whether you are short on crew, or need an entire unit.
