Team EF Coaching // Denver, CO

EF // BRAND VIDEO

Team EF Coaching launched their Proprietary Education Platform in 2021.

We knew that to match the level of expertise Team EF coaching had to offer, Our videos would have to be of the highest quality. The challenge was we would need to create a polished and professional look that would be apparent in both the Brand Video and the tutorial videos showcased on the platform.

We also had the dual task of matching the energy and quality of assets captured across the world in competition by the EF Coaching Team.

Working with the creative team and producers at Postmodern Company, we were able to craft hours of high-quality content for EF Coachings' platform launch.

TiLT Leave Management // Denver, CO

GIVE LEAVE SOME LOVE

Originally conceived as an animated brand video, but due to the clients' need to pivot strategy, Our team was tasked with revising the creative for Live-Action while staying as close to the original budget as possible.

Thanks to the great work of gaffer Eric Fulcher and under the creative direction of Carlos Malache, I was able to capture footage for a great-looking Brand Video that still managed to stay within our clients' budgetary limits.

Regis University // Denver, CO

MANIFEST MAGIS

The Manifest Magis campaign was built upon the university's nearly 150 years of work.

We realized we needed to be able to create High-Quality images to Highlight the institution while also matching existing footage that showcased the global reach and breadth of work the university prides itself on.

Working with Producer Trina Bevins, we filmed a dozen interviews, captured B-Roll of Campus life, and shot Drone footage to showcase all the university has to offer.

National Renewable Energy Laboratory // Golden, CO

NREL - ARIES PROGRAM

Originally planned as a relatively straightforward shoot-day of interviews, our production team arrived to find a few key subjects we would be profiling were not available. We worked quickly with producer Kris Olivero to revise our shoot plan. We captured our scheduled interviews but then followed a half dozen employees during their day-to-day routine, capturing their unique work on the fly.

The shoot proved so productive that footage from the shoot can be seen in several other NREL videos.

Experiments In Opera // New York, NY

EVERYTHING FOR DAWN

Everything For Dawn is an experimental 10 episode series built around the Sitcom Television tropes of the 90s.

Taking inspiration from television series as varied as M.A.S.H., Roseanne, and The Sopranos (while also incorporating experimental techniques from films like Funny Games and Natural Born Killers), Director Alison Moritz and I developed a visual vocabulary for the project

We anchored the story by emulating the look of television that was most popular in the stories' three respective eras. We then used experimental techniques like breaking the fourth wall, changing formats in-scene, front projection, and other methods to emphasize the characters' destabilized emotional states.

Everything for Dawn releases in the Fall of 2022.

Produced by Aaron Siegel, Jason Cady, and Kamala Sankaram
