From the depths of my inbox: I ALMOST forgot that our very own Brian Belida was actually the creator and inspiration of our current abbreviated logo back in 2012 when I asked a good buddy who knew Photoshop to whip up something for my budding video company. Crazy how the universe just brings it all home 😎
For the past 4+ years, very few people have created as much of a positive impact on this company as Brian has. This guy just gets it. He's creative, he's personable with our clients, and we're straight-up blessed to call him our best friend. Once this is all over and you're at a bar toasting to the things we missed while we were locked at home, make sure Brian's birthday makes that list :) Happy Birthday to one of the greatest guys on the planet!
From all of us here at SkipperFilms, we want to take a deep breath of fresh, crisp air to wish you all a wonderful Earth Day! 🌎

Aww, we love Candice with Candice Adelle Photography! We’ve been doing a handful of projects during this downtime, I’m happy this one is public now! We’ve done countless weddings along side Candice, and we work seamlessly together, so we were proud and thrilled to be able to tell her story!
I'm forever grateful to SkipperFilms: Video Production / DC / VA / MD / for this amazing video! I'm also grateful for Brian and Billy putting up with my crying during the interview! Hahahaha! I can't help it, ya'll! This girl loves her clients!!!
CEO Billy Skipper Hughes was recently featured on Loudoun Strong to tell his story and give a little inspiration. Things may seem bleak, but it’s always darkest before a beautiful sunrise ❤️
“Our proud, Leesburg-based video production company has always been keen on creative problem solving with our clients to deliver a unique and impactful message to their audience, but COVID-19 has proven to our most challenging problem to date. As we watched conferences we capture every year, scheduled advertisement shoots, and other promotional shoots postpone or cancel, we were left with nothing on the books for the foreseeable future. Rather than sulking, we hit that pivot and started offering live streaming services at a discount, took on a few editing and animation video jobs, and anything else that might carry us through this time. It's not enough, as we were on track for our best year to date, but my one and only goal has always been to keep my team paid so they can keep their families fed. We're all a family, just as this Loudoun community is, and we have to find ways to keep lifting each other up, even as we struggle to keep ourselves above water.
The market will return, the money will come back, but the one thing that will never return to normal, is the fact that we are all exponentially stronger as businesses, communities, and individuals for having survived such an unprecedented hardship. We will see the end of this, and each one of us will thrust into one of the most inspirational and motivated periods of business growth. For me, I know video will bounce back, and I'm looking forward to telling your stories through cinema!” -Billy Skipper Hughes, owner @skipperfilms #loudounstrong #loudounbiz #loudouncounty #loveloudoun
March 1st vs April 1st. What a year March was, amirite?! 😥

Wendy + Danny completely changed our minds about February weddings 💒 ! These two were not only blessed with a drop-dead gorgeous day outside, but they ended up with a fantastic wedding filled with such a fun and welcoming crowd. It really makes a difference to us, and we appreciated every second we got to spend with these wonderful people capturing the love. Congratulations, Wendy and Danny!! ❤️

Talk to any editor, music selection, oddly enough, is one of the most important, and time consuming aspects of video production. It can set the entire feel of a video, and helps tell the story of a brand--it’s basically their theme song! So let's play a game since we're all stuck in quarantine... What's your theme song?

As the world shuts down temporarily, we are still taking on some fun shoots! Today, we were filming with Salesforce to help promote a new product for the FAA! Finding ways to keep the wheels (and propellers) turning! And don’t worry, no handshakes or hugs, practiced social distancing, and there were no more than 2 people around us at any time! Trying to do our part!

Interviews are an essential piece to #videoproduction, but it can also be pretty daunting if YOU are the one answering a bunch of questions! Our ultimate goal is to help you feel relaxed and at ease. With Teleprompters, prompting questions, or just joking around to get a laugh--we bring a positive environment to help create the best performance. So how do we break the ice? "what'd you have for breakfast this morning?"

Did you know that most of our voice overs are done in-house by our very own Brian Belida? He owes his voice to his dad who was a broadcast journalist, doing funny voices and accents to each other all the time. Oh, and green apples are life. 🍏

Sometimes it's not all sexy cameras and lenses. Sometimes you need to spend a couple hundred bucks on a small solution that saves you time behind the scenes, like mounting a ton of battery chargers to a peg board so you can juice up 20 batteries at once. That's showbiz, baby!

Some say the cameraman for 1917 is still holding a shot to this day…Huge congratulations to DP Roger Deakins for winning Best Cinematography for 1917 at the Oscars on Sunday! The entire film was done as a single-take, and we are huge fans of the style. Any opportunity to work one into a shoot is really exciting for us.

We shoot plenty of conferences each year, and each year we're hard-pressed to find a more passionate, loving, and friendly collection of people than those in attendance of the Sunrise Senior Living Leadership Conference at Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress. This is our 3rd year shooting this conference, and each year is exponentially better than the last. After 4 days of shooting and editing up to 19 hours a day, we turned this around same-day and it aired during the final session of the conference.... and the crowed LOVED it! Such a rewarding feeling 🥰🥰🥰

One of our FAVORITE people and vendors is this amazing human being right here.

She's been a big part of our lives for a few years now, and we hope this video serves her well!

After months of planning, we are so excited to share a secret! This past weekend we were part of a surprise proposal in Ocean City, MD. With the help of Mission Volant, Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis popped the question to his girlfriend, Kayla, in epic style.

The proposal was followed by a surprise engagement party with family and close friends as they celebrated the exciting news. Couldn't have done it without the all-star vendor team!

Its not often that we get to use an ORIGINAL music track for our wedding films, and we've been waiting for a great opportunity to do so. Enter: Michele and Ian. In a mindblowing twist of a magical evening at The Mayflower Hotel, Autograph Collection, Ian stepped up on stage, grabbed the mic, and proceeded to stun everyone in the crowd with a song written and performed for his brand new, absolutely gorgeous wife, Michele. That was about par for the day, since every second was a dream, and I'd love to tell you all about it, but why write when I can just show you the video?
