Below is the video that captures behind the scenes of the team working together and elements of the editorial images created.
And a social media teaser created for Instagram stories using the vertical format.
Creating this video was a like a life dream I never knew I wanted! The only thing that is missing from this video is the smell of freshly roasted coffee.
Napco Brands, Inc., will be using this brand video on their website to highlight the services they offer to their B2B customers.
DittoMask is a Chicago based mask company that needed new images and video for their website. For this shoot we hired 4 different models and captured them working out with the masks, and created some lifestyle shots of them as well.
The video below showcases how the client ended up using the video sequences created that day.
Redesigning a website often prompts the need for new photographs — and that’s what often brings us together! :)
Ms. Jetsetter, a Chicago travel accessories company, and a female and black owned business, began redesigning their website and recognized the need for images of their product beyond the classic product on a white background, often used for an e-commerce product page.
In addition to the website needs, we also wanted to create several unique images to help support their social media content. So we experimented with different looks, and created unique “locations” within our one location, to get more variety. We really enjoyed mimicking sunlight coming through a window to evoke a different feel.
We also had these beautiful models showcase the products, providing an additional perspective.
We also managed to squeeze in a portrait of the owner, Tracey, who’s warm smile is a perfect reflection of her personality — who doesn’t need one of these for their About Us page? 😍
The pandemic has been challenging on students, parents, teachers but St. Catherine Labouré is one example of a beautiful community that has worked through it together.
Below is an example of a virtual tour to help prospective parents learn more about the school. Subtitles/Closed Captions were created for the video in the event their audience does not have their sound turned on.
The majority of the video footage was shot during one school day, with some supplemental footage from parents and faculty members.
Sometimes our footage is used as part of a larger video project and often times we do not have access to the final product.
That being said, here are some behind the scenes photos to give you a feel of what’s entailed in a customer testimonial video.
This customer testimonial video has:
a two camera angle setup both shooting in 4k
wireless audio recorded to an external recorder
key light to fill the subject
A two camera angle setup helps keep the viewer engaged, and enables more options in the edit to piece together thoughts, remove “umms” and “ahs”, etc.
Here are two examples of creating vertical promotional videos for Instagram and Facebook Stories.
Both videos were used to promote the first virtual fashion show of Gidi.
Below is an example of a brand video for Gidi featuring the head designer Taneasha Prunty.
We over the moon to share our footage made it on the WGN evening news ! 🙌You can check out the whole story and segment here!
Marcella Raymond of WGN reported on how our client Bean and Boosh, adapted their business during the pandemic. Ann Munoz and Julie Cruz showcased their creative, on-the-fly talents for the segment, and our footage showcased their recent ballon installations!
We were able to bring the sheer magnitude of this team’s creativity by incorporating drone aerial footage and use creative angles and camera movement to highlight the intricacies of their designs.
The segment aired at 4:30pm and 5:30pm on July 2, 2020 and we cannot be happier to be a part of this business’ amazing journey. This is what it’s all about! 🥰
Here is the video footage with shared with WGN to highlight each installation.

Fox Training Facility
With our fleeting attention span, businesses often need short, compelling videos to get their audiences to stop and engage. In collaboration with Fox Training Facility in Chicago, here is an example of a 1 minute video to showcase their new space to independent physical trainers and their clients.
This video includes baked in captions in case the viewer does not have sound turned on.
