Our Process
Great creative starts with great listening.
We first seek to understand your audience, objectives, challenges, budget realities and any industry work that inspires you. Ideas spring from there.
We then build your team.
Your team's structure can vary based on the nature of the project, but everyone brings decades of experience and can-do attitudes to your cause.
As an EVP recently told us, "your whole team was organized, incredibly collaborative, and so easy to work with. It felt like you were all in."
Your team then taps into the region's most robust resources to bring your vision to life.
Our Columbus video facility houses three studios, a 32-foot LED wall and deep post-production resources. We also dispatch field crews all over the country.
Our 50,000-square-foot Columbus event distribution center deploys equipment all over the country. We invest more than $500,000 annually in new technology to stay at the forefront of industry standards.
Start to finish, our mission is to be the ultimate easy button.
As our founders always said, the only way to create long-term relationships is to do great work and be a stress-free and fun partner on the journey.
We're proud to still work with the first client that came through our doors 40+ years ago.
CREATIVE SPOTLIGHT

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY SPOTLIGHT
Our AI Production Services
We use AI in two ways: as a workflow support tool to help speed up brainstorming and pre-production planning; and generative AI to accelerate creative development. We always operate within guardrails led by brand standards.
OUR GENERATIVE AI Reel
In our experience, AI can add “value beyond slop” in certain use cases:
- Creative iteration at scale – We use AI to help us iterate through creative concepts and prepare common previsualization deliverables like moodboards, storyboards and animatics that often guide actual shoots.
- Product-focused social ads that wouldn’t have featured actors in the first place and don’t use AI for depicting products in actual use.
- Swapping the backgrounds of real-world product photography to change surroundings that have nothing to do with product performance, such as changing room designs or seasons
- Setting real-world still photography into motion, especially to place products in environments that would be impossible or too expensive to film.
Our use of generative AI is transparent, responsible, and always human-led. All generative AI explorations are client-approved in advance and creatively directed by us at every stage.
How can we help bring your event and video ideas to life?
We'll set up a quick discovery call to ask a few questions about your projects and share our production process so you can see if we're a good fit.
