A few behind-the-scenes moments from a recent shoot with the crew.

This time we were interviewing the founder of TED-Ed for TransPerfect. Always fun getting to collaborate with talented people, solve problems on the fly, and build a clean interview setup.

I don’t always remember to take BTS photos, so I’m glad Alvaro shot these for us.

In case you’ve forgotten what I do:

I make videos.

Storyteller. Producer. Camera operator. Problem solver.

Still grateful I get to do this work.

The event ends.
The marketing doesn’t.

Event Coverage gives you professional photo and video assets you can continue using across social media, websites, recaps, sponsorship decks, and future promotions.

Because a well-documented event keeps creating value long after the doors close.

People trust people.

One of the fastest ways to reduce hesitation is showing real experiences from real clients.

Content Sessions can be used to capture testimonials, founder perspective, educational content, and trust-building stories designed for modern platforms.

Not overproduced.
Not salesy.
Just clear, human communication.

Simple.
Fast.

Still not posting consistently?

Most businesses know they should be creating content — they just don’t have the time, footage, or system to keep up.

MP Content Sessions are designed to make that easier.

In a focused 2-hour session, we capture multiple short-form videos you can immediately start using across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, and more.

Simple. Efficient. Professional.

Oakland-based. Serving wellness and mission-driven brands throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
