The majority of the blast test footage was shot near Bend, Oregon over a 10 day period. This is by far the most technical video I've ever produced. We worked with a professional voiceover artist, and had the script approved by the company engineers and communications director to ensure all data was valid. Incorporated b-roll, drone footage, photography, and stock imagery to fully tell the story visually.

Corporate Housing Solutions

We outsourced on-camera talent to read our script using a teleprompter. The talking head portion is a two camera setup with lapel mic. The b-roll was used from a library of video clips I put together after having traveled to roughly 5 cities where the company has locations. These types of videos only happen because of travel and creating multipurpose b-roll clips.

City Leader Conversation

Two cameras and a handheld b-roll cam capturing a conversation between city leaders in a local, well known coffee shop.
