Check out some beautiful moments from capturing last month! We had the opportunity to film their work “Where She Once Stood” in the stunning Crane House and Historic YWCA
We love getting to capture sight specific work and this was such an amazing experience to watch the dancers bring the space to life!

Lovely little 3 camera shoot for at last night. 🖤🪶💗
We absolutely LOVE collaborating with our clients to figure out how to best capture their show. Camera placement, sound capture, you name it!! We want to do our best to capture the magic of the performance on film. 🎞️

Nel had a wonderful time getting to speak at one of her Alma Maters, Principia College while visiting for her high school reunion last week! She had the opportunity to discuss her career, running a business, being an entrepreneur and overall how she got to where she is now in the dance video world!
As someone who was once in their shoes she knows what it is like to find your footing in the video world and getting to be able to share that with these students was such an exciting experience.💜
👀 Swipe to the end for a sweet throwback of Nel and team member Hayden from their high school days at Principia School!

It’s no secret to anyone who knows me how much I love my NSP team, so I wanted to take a moment to brag about this special group of people. Something that stands out to me the most when reflecting on my team is how each of us have, what we affectionately call, that “NSP Vibe”. The perfect combination of working hard and having fun together. We often get together outside of work to meet for coffee, take yoga classes together, see the opening of Wicked and more, because we genuinely enjoy each other’s company.
THANK YOU to the NSP Team for coming together and working so hard this summer. 💗
With Gratitude,
Nel

Team Member Monday with Caroline! ☀️❤️
Caroline started at NSP as an intern last January as part of the Arts in NYC program with Florida State University’s School of Dance. After she graduated she joined the team as a Studio and Production Assistant and has been in that role for a little over a year!
One of her favorite shoots she’s been on with NSP was the Table of Silence livestream last year. “Getting to be apart of that team for such a special event was one of my favorite experiences working with NSP, I can’t wait for it again this year!”
Caroline’s favorite part of working for NSP is how special the team is, “I am so lucky to be apart of such a close knit group of people who love what they do and create such amazing work. The NSP team is truly a family and I am so grateful to be apart of it!”

Fully equipped for single and multiple camera video services, our team of dance videographers offers everything from brainstorming what your video should include to prepping the final edit for sharing online.
In addition to filming performances, we capture interviews, auditions, fundraising videos and promotional reels. Our dance documentary PS DANCE! was nominated for a New York Emmy!! We can even live-stream dance events online or at exclusive venues.
Excellence means more than showing up with the best equipment. As movers ourselves, we feel a deep devotion to the advancement of dance as an art form and bring this passion to every project we take on. We value collaboration with our clients and internally as a creative team. And we serve with kindness, knowing that the best projects are made of joy, not just deliverables.

Nel Shelby Productions is expert and professional.
Here at Nel Shelby Productions, we pride ourselves on our high-quality standards. We use all of the state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring the sharpest, clearest video and sound. And rest assured that your video will be safe and secure: We store all of your footage in our own archive, just in case. We even have backups for our backups!
We have deep roots in the performing arts.
Our team has deep roots in the performing arts – which is why we’re so passionate about helping other artists promote and document their work! We want your performances to be seen and enjoyed by future generations – not just by those who buy tickets to your show. And we don’t work with just one kind of artist. We serve a diverse client base and have experience working in nearly every New York performance venue. Our team has an extensive knowledge of the field – and a strong understanding of our clients’ needs.
We really take care of our clients.
We know that an artist’s time is precious. We also know that the performing arts world just loves surprising us with last-minute opportunities and deadlines. That’s why we respond promptly to all requests and are happy to adjust our editing timelines based on your specific schedule. We are a cheery, caring, creative team that understands your needs and tries to make your job as easy as possible. We love to take care of our clients!
Our approach is thoughtful and collaborative.
We bring a collaborative approach to all our projects. We like to think of our clients as our partners in inspiration – we’re there to help you tell your story, but we also love to share our own big-picture ideas that we think will meet your needs. Brainstorming is a collaboration!
We are woman and dancer powered.
We’re proud to have a team made up of super inspiring women (and a few good men!) in a very male-dominated field. Because our videographers are all former and current dancers, we intimately understand the needs of other dance artists. We love seeing you do what you do. Your success is our success!
