In this final episode of Top Ten we look back on CG Insurance and "The Greats".

Every so often, a project comes together in a way that feels effortless. This shoot was one of those moments. From a smooth transition between production companies, to working alongside an inspiring group of young cricketers, to filming in locations that embraced the vision—the experience reminded us why we love what we do. A truly special production.

Some shoots just fall perfectly into place—and this was one of them. From an unexpected production switch (which allowed us to work with the amazing team at ...

Celebrating 10 Years of Storytelling

Over the past decade, we’ve had the privilege of working on countless incredible projects—so many that narrowing them down feels almost impossible. But some productions made such an impact, that even though they could not have an episode for themselves, we knew they deserved the spotlight.

In this episode, we’re revisiting a few standout highlights:
Grand Blue Conquest
Sandals Resorts
Barbados Tourism Marketing Inc.
Comic Relief
Below Deck

Grateful for every opportunity and every story we’ve been able to help bring to life.

For the past 10 years, we’ve worked on some incredible projects and sometimes it seems like there are too many too name. In this episode we are highlighting...

In the episode, Kirk is taking us behind the scenes with a classic piece of production equipment — gel filters.

Even with today’s high-tech LED panels and RGB lighting, gels are still a go-to for filmmakers helping them to shape and control light, create mood and atmosphere and add color effects right on set

Sometimes the “old school” tools are the ones that unlock the most creative freedom.

Welcome back! Today Kirk will be talking about a production equipment that may seem like a oldie but it certainly is still a goodie, the gel filters. These e...

Every so often, a project comes along that not only sparks the creation of incredible content and inspiring visuals but also forges meaningful, lasting relationships. When Bangerz and Nash reached out to us with the Virgin Atlantic shoot, it had been a while since we’d tackled a production that demanded such a dynamic mix of locations, props, talent, and logistical coordination.
