2018 was a great year for creating exquisite content and forming stronger relationships with both colleagues and clients. One of our most enjoyable projects to work on was for a Western Colorado non profit called Rivers Edge West. We were tasked with creating five videos; four of which were character videos driven by the voices of people directly related to the river. The fifth video was an interesting way to create an about us video using voices outside the organization to explain their mission. It was a 10 day production in November including travel with the edits bringing us to the end of the year, and it was all worth it. Below is Chip; the third of the four character videos to be released.
We filmed Chip on his vineyard in Verde, Arizona where he owns a malt house and volunteers along the river.
Caption: Ryan sits with his “directors hat” asking Chip about river restoration.
Even with limited crew, we pulled out all the stops to create something special. Chip was fantastic to work with and we hope to have the opportunity to tell more “Riverside Stories” with Rivers Edge West in the future. You can find out more about their organization at www.riversedgewest.org
Knee deep in the Escalante river, DP Mark Barry gets the shot wearing a borrowed directors hat and waders to protect from the elements.
Sometimes the shot just needs to breathe in the desert air.
Our first interview with Emily along the Dolores River in Colorado.
Ryan working the drone on the Gila River in Arizona. The drone shots were essential in telling the stories of the rivers.
Check out the rest of the videos being released once a month through June.
