Somebody recently stole one of the big magnets off my car. As a small business owner, it’s undeniably offensive that someone from the community would do this. However, I am heartened by the fact that my self-designed logo is so attractive. 😉
PS
If you see some rogue MVM agent driving around with just one of these please DM me that license plate. 🤩
Long time no post! The beginning of the year is always interesting but I spend a lot of time in the office. Taxes, business development, archiving last year’s projects, and this year developing email lists for a newsletter I’m hoping to send out on occasion (among many other things). My dark, cluttered space may be cringeworthy to some but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
We're sharing a little holiday spirit on this Winter Solstice with local legend Anni Clark performing this fun Christmas original for the kiddos.

Please support your local musicians this holiday season! With pandemic restrictions returning to many venues and most outdoor shows gone due to the colder weather, many of these artists are unable to perform regularly to support themselves and/or their families.
I had the opportunity to shoot a few performances by Anni Clark inside the historic United States Custom House in Portland recently. If you've never seen or been inside, it's a beautifully preserved/restored building. Little has changed in the grand custom hall since is was built save for the lighting.
Wrapped up another fantastic multicam live stream for @medentalassoc with production assistance and camera ops by @bonfire_films_corey and Jim Redpath.

We collaborated with Bonfire Films to create this video for Maine Career Connect's website. MCC is a concierge service from the Maine State Chamber of Commerce which partners with many large employers in the area to welcome new Mainers to Portland and other job centers in the state.

Thanks to Bonfire Films for the extra help #livestreaming for Maine Dental Association’s continuing education program. Great job all around!
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.
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
Part of the On-Demand series from Maine Climate Council's quarterly meetings. This segment virtually recorded via Zoom during the coronavirus pandemic, 6/17/2020.
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.
HONK if you want more customers!

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

- 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

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 webcam 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. 💯
