FEATURED WORK

One of our strengths is applying creativity to a project and heightening the expectations of the client. In the case of this community action spot for CEDA we knew there was no budget for shooting and they did not want to make it look 'cheap and cheesy' by using slides and utilizing the usual 'pan and scan' methods. We were able to purchase stock footage along with some of the organization's pictures to create an effective public service announcement for their Home Weatherization Program. This spot was so well received they decided to create a second spot for their Energy Assistance Fund Program. Both spots were created in English and Spanish. Click here to view the spot.

Anatomy of a Bio

From the beginning of a piece we strive for quality. Depending on the story content of the family our team begins planning not only the interviews, trips and fact finding but also the immense research that is involved in preparing a feature length family documentary. There may be resources out there not even the family knows about. We find it and incorporate it. Dr. Jordan's writing skills have no equal and it's his script and story telling ability that anchors the video. It's up to the editors and creative staff to fill in the gaps.

Some of our biographies have included actor portrayals of historical family events, restoration of family documents or letters and interviews of key family members to completely tell the story. Once the shooting is complete, which may take months of traveling and hundreds of hours of tape, the task remains to piece all that into a coherent piece.

The end product is a masterpiece of storytelling that encompasses the values of our family client. These non-broadcast documentaries serve as legacy videos for distinguished families and are showcased with pride.
