Another first - recording a beauty pageant! Originally planned on a single camera shoot but needed help setting up and added a second just to give my PA something more to do. Glad I did, as there was a lot of movement!

It's always a pleasure to work with this group! While I'm no stranger to event highlight reels, this was a still unique challenge as all the source material (including the footage) was provided - nothing was ours. Give us what you have and we'll cut it up into something special.

Many thanks to the great people we worked with from Maine Celtics and TD Bank to put this together and to green Crusher for entertaining owner Eric Bailey's shameless request for a selfie at the end of the shoot.
Recently recut this instructional video we created for Float Harder to add an ASL interpreter to it. While we have always offered captioning, this really makes this video accessible to all. If you're interested in doing the same, let us know!

With a typical Zoom, your annual or seasonal conference looks just like your small staff meeting or a dressed-up happy hour with slides. We can liven up your virtual event by streaming professionally pre-recorded presentations (safely distanced in-person or remote), adding graphics, music, edited intros, paid video ad placements and more. Free up your staff to answer questions and engage with the audience in real time. #videoconference #livestreaming #videoproductioncompany

As a creator, I aim to create beautiful video content for your brand. But I also want to help make sure people watch it. That's why I toss in a short animated GIF of the final cut. Use it in an email to increase engagement!
Sometimes a shoot is just a shoot! It was a pleasure taking these shots and interviews last year at Gagnon Dental in Farmingdale and handing off the footage to the American Dental Association for the edit.

Last year, we had the exciting opportunity to create this music video for Anni Clark. Amazingly, it was selected to screen at an international film festival in Barcelona and went on to receive the Best Folk Video award at the MVP III festival earlier this year. Loving the diversity of our work and all the ways we have been able to connect to audiences!

In honor of Jeb, store mascot and shining star of this video who passed away last month, we're reposting one of our favorite local business promos we've created. The Dog Wash Etc. is a treasure and Jeb was its most good boy, one of the sweetest dogs we've ever had the pleasure to know. He's the one getting the bath in slo-mo. 🐾 ❤️
While people commonly get charged up about national politics, much less engagement and participation in local politics takes place. Yet these local elections and votes cast are what most immediately effect your community. If you're in Portland's District 4, please check out Aura's vision for the School Board and the invaluable experience and successful advocacy she brings to the table.
...and if it comes down to headshots, we believe the choice is obvious (we have no shame in crediting ourselves here! 📸🎥👍 )
Hi, I’m Aura Russell-Bedder and I’m running for District 4 Portland School Board. I’m passionate about Portland Public Schools (PPS) providing a world class education for all students in a school district that is connected and engaged with its community. I will work hard toward these goals and will always prioritize elevating the voices of the most marginalized in our community. I hope to have your vote. It is a privilege to have the opportunity to serve my District and I’m happy to answer any questions or hear concerns by email, [email protected] or phone, 207-370-8869. Below are details about my priorities and my background.
Priority details:
World class education for all Portland Public Schools (PPS) students
- Fulfill the Portland Promise
- Shrink the opportunity gap
- Universal pre-k
- Improve and expand behavioral health supports
- Improve diversity of staff to better reflect PPS student population (currently 47% of students are of color with 8% being staff of color)
- Continue to decolonize and improve PPS curriculum
High quality PPS community engagement
- Improve communication and information sharing from PPS
to the community, especially with marginalized communities
- Improve community outreach and engagement in policy processes
- Improve community outreach and engagement in school leadership hiring processes
My background:
- Lived in East Deering for past 15 years with two children at Presumpscot School.
- From New Gloucester, ME, I attended public schools from K-12, received a B.A. in Politics from Oberlin College and my Masters in Social Work from Portland State University in Oregon.
- Clinical social worker for 15 years working in settings from public schools to health care, to the homes of seniors.
- Served on the Board of Directors and was a lead organizer for the 4 School Bond campaign in 2016-2017 to renovate four of Portland’s deteriorating elementary schools.

Sharing this post from 207 - our Studio B recording of Anni Clark's latest song, "Will It Ever Be The Same"
Anni Clark performs "Will It Ever Be The Same" on 207
I try to source voiceover to my talented friends who specialize in it when I can, but sometimes there’s a time/budget pinch and I’ll jump behind the mic. Here’s a snap of my portable/in-studio setup!
One of our first and favorite projects began when we collaborated with Float Harder on remaking their instructional video for their first visit clients. Happy to share it now as it has been added to their newly redesigned website!
An instructional video for first-time visitors at Float Harder Relaxation Center in Portland, Maine.
With many local and national businesses/organizations in various states of reopening amidst the continuing pandemic, video is among the most effective tools to communicate new guidelines and precautions to your members, colleagues, or customers. Thanks to Float Harder for the continued partnership in creating this timely piece for the Floatation Tank Association!

Anni's poignant new song, "Will it Ever Be the Same," echoes many of our feelings as the effects of the pandemic stretch along into unknown future. Recorded in our Studio B this week, it will air on WCSH6's 207 program with 2 other timely tunes.
So here’s the story behind the writing of “Will It Ever Be the Same”… I had been solo quarantining for 10 weeks due to the 2020 Covid Pandemic when I finally...
I’m still here. I’ve resisted making a COVID-19 update about my biz thus far. The truth is my business has only been marginally affected by reduced turnaround times because of childcare and a few gigs altered, cancelled, or postponed. I’ve been very fortunate and busy, “hunkerin’ down” for months with post-production, remote production and pre-production for ongoing projects. Now, like many other businesses, MVM is carefully adjusting to in-person modes of business again with safety and health in mind. It truly doesn’t get much safer than a single operator crew taking the right precautions. Consider making a video to reassure your customer base that it’s safe to return to you, too. You don’t have to hire me. You don’t have to hire anybody. You probably have a we**am or a phone and while it may not be 100% professional or polished, you could show them what you’re doing to address their concerns and keep them safe while continuing or resuming your business. Maine is gradually reopening. Let’s do it right. Be safe, be kind, and let’s support each other as much as we can during this new phase. - Eric
Lent my editing suite to this Girl Scout who has a very important Zoom meeting. I considered setting up a nice hair light or a second camera but the client preferred consistency with the rest of the production values. I will always provide my best professional advice, but ultimately deliver what the client wants. 💯
In honor of Mother Earth, here's our award-winning video we made for Anni Clark's original song, "I'm With You, Greta," which was also screened at the 2019 International Environmental Film Festival in Barcelona. Happy Earth Day!

Please support our amazing local artists struggling during this time. All the gigs are cancelled but the show must go on for those that rely on them. Please watch, share, and consider tipping via PayPal or Venmo!
We're all in this together. Let's support each other however we can. If you had a performance or event that was cancelled or is threatened by the pandemic and you're thinking about taking it online, we offer professional single-operator, multi-camera live streaming (and with most hosting platforms, part or all of it can be pre-recorded). Keep your audience and monetize it virtually.
Worried about forgetting your lines during a shoot? This iPad teleprompter is a popular new addition to our mobile studio kit. Snaps from our shoot at Maine Dental Association last night.
It’s been a busy start to the year, so busy that we forgot to mention we won Best Folk Video for Anni Clark at Music Video Portland III! Thanks to Rad Plaid and Hot Trash: Portland for putting on an awesome event packed with so much talent.
A big shout out to the staff at the Augusta Civic Center for pointing me to a cart as soon as I showed up for our first single-operator 3-camera livestream. Phew!
