Social media videos can (and should) be short and simple

Your social media videos can be as simple as this one. The important thing is that you're engaging your audience regularly with video. Get in touch and let's chat about all the options available.

Shooting in Southern California

You always hear stories about surfer/snowboarders who hit the mountains in the morning and the ocean in the evening, or vice versa.  And having access to such diverse topography in a relatively small area is a major bonus to living or working in Southern California.  This week I finally got to check that off my list, but for good measure we also through in a desert shoot in Palm Springs.  In less than 24 hours we shot in hyper-urban downtown Los Angeles, arid Palm Springs desert, snowy alpine forest in Lake Arrowhead and warm, sunny Venice Beach.  Amazing.  Helluva whirlwind, but well worth it.  Especially with a sweet Australian Cattle Dog (aka Blue Heeler) along for the ride.  We'll be rolling out the awesome footage we captured in three forthcoming projects for Jones County Road

Alliance for Neighborhood Prosperity

We're not a company that shies away from sometimes controversial issues.  Whole home, short-term rental regulation is a big deal in New Orleans right now.  Here's one side of the story.

OUT in Vegas

30k views in the first day!  We had a blast shooting at the Delano and Luxor in Las Vegas last month.  Check out episode 1 of Out in Vegas

Brandi Carlile - spec music video

Love, love, love the music of Brandi Carlile, so we made this spec video to Wherever is Your Heart.  Can't wait to see her at the Hollywood Bowl Saturday night!

Beach Bootcamp - sizzle

Athletic, high energy, and pulse raising - all words that describe Big Mike's bootcamp on Santa Monica Beach, and hopefully this EPK we made for them, as well.
