CARAVAN FEATURED - MARMOSET JOURNAL

Caravan’s reel was featured on the Marmoset journal:

“This one blew us away. Using the orchestral-folk track "Run Boy Run" by Woodkid, Caravan's reel lets the song lyrics shine through to add another element to the stirring imagery. One of the most incredible things about this is film is how is evolves, making each scene feel like it was meant transition to the next -- this has a lot to do with how the dips in and out of intensity, eventually building to a beautiful crescendo at the end, marking a triumphant end to a cohesive story.”

Songs of Water

Visual and Audio collaboration has always moved me, and having my path in life cross with the career of Songs of Water has been a beautiful education in looking at the world in a new light. Stephen and the SOW family see musical value in objects that aren't commonly considered musical instruments. And it's not because they are looking for pearls; the unconditional nature of their acceptance is because they want the worts and all. The worts give beauty to a wooden toy box turned into a percussion tool, to an ornamental tree turned into a simple xylophone.

I'm so thankful for the last few years spent laughing and learning in community with them. The inspiring nature of what they do and how they live is an important story that I hope they continue to tell for years to come.

Songs of Water 

Excited to share some stills from the soon to be released Songs of Water short. Captured by our brilliant Cinematographer Brent Christy.

Check out our latest spot for Compoirum -  Directed by Bernardo Marentes.

The opportunity to help build a brand vision at its very beginning is rare and exciting, so naturally we were excited to team up with startup nightlife application, Socialtopias. We were brought in to create promotional lifestyle content to announce and supplement the brand’s upcoming launch - content that was undeniably exciting and evocative. Our job was to inspire a potential audience to go out and plan the Best Night Ever and to convince potential partners to sign up and see their business grow with Socialtopias. This led to a suite of nine web tutorial videos for multiple user types, as well. Every aspect, from concept to script to music composition, was lead by our team. The result is cinematic, vibrant and heartfelt.

This post is coming a little late but better late than never right? We were thrilled to have the opportunity to run Second Unit Cinematography and Behind the Scenes on Prudential's later 'Dominoes' campaign. 

Jason and Joey | Andrews, NC

Jason contacted us about filming his wedding to Joey, and we were so thrilled. But we were even more excited to learn that Joey had no idea he was setting all this up! What a lovely surprise for Joey when we showed up the morning of their wedding to capture every detail on film. Jason and Joey were married at the Hawkesdene House in Andrews, NC in a small intimate ceremony with family and friends. They planned the wedding themselves, and every element really reflected both their personalities and love for one another.  You can see pictures of Joey and Jason's gorgeous wedding over on Concept Photography's Blog.

Special thanks to all their fantastic vendors for being such a pleasure to work with.  And thank you to Joey and Jason for allowing us to be a part of their special day!

Samaritan's Purse - Cambodia

Samaritan's Purse is a International Relief organization based out of Boone, NC. We've had the pleasure of shooting with them over the last couple of years and absolutely love working with their team. Every job is a new adventure.

This time, I had the opportunity to document SP's work with expectant mothers in remote villages, from basic cooking and hygiene workshops to the building of Maternity Wards at the local Health Centers. The video was part of the 10 Days for M'Dai Campaign which is going on now. 

Cambodia is a beautiful country, it's full of the nicest people you'll ever meet and the food is incredible. While we were there, we were able to experience the busy streets of Phnom Penh, quiet villages in the Kratie Province and breathtaking sights at Angkor Wat.

I was incredibly happy to once again be able to partner with Samaritan's Purse for this trip.

Here are a couple of screengrabs from our time in Cambodia.

Happy Monday Everyone!  We love it when we can spotlight one of our brides, especially when it involves really beautiful design! You may remember our film for Maria and Jack's mountain wedding that we posted a while back. Maria and her friend Maria (yes, you read that right same name!) have started a beautiful wedding branding and design company called, Mia Maria Design. Their work is absolutely gorgeous, and we wanted to share their new website with all of you! 

~Ashley

Here is a little more about Mia Maria Design, straight from the source...

"We are two girls with the same name, nickname, and love for great design. We dig deep into a couple’s story to do much more than just print a pretty invitation or create fancy favors. We promise to bring love stories to life through the cohesive, custom design and details essential for creating an unforgettable guest experience."

Check out some of their gorgeous work!
