🎥📡 A successful live-stream doesn’t leave room for “what if.”

That’s why we roll in with full redundancy: bonded internet across multiple 4G & 5G networks, multi-camera setups, professional audio, and even instant replay—all carried in our Production Truck. 🛻

When you partner with Rustic River Media, you’re not just getting cameras—you’re getting peace of mind that your event will stream smoothly, no matter what.

🎥 New Project Spotlight

We recently collaborated with Gruene Outfitters to create a brand video that highlights their fly shop — a cornerstone of the Texas Hill Country fly fishing community. 🎣

For over 30 years, Gruene Outfitters has been a must-stop destination in Gruene, TX. Located just steps away from the Guadalupe River — the southernmost trout fishery in the U.S. — they’ve built a culture around fishing, community, and adventure. Whether it’s outfitting anglers with rods, waders, and flies, or supporting their local chapter of Trout Unlimited (GRTU), they’ve created a space that’s as much about people as it is about gear.

🎥 Spent Saturday filming a political ad for a candidate about to launch his campaign.

The look? Down-home Texan — approachable, local, and one of the people. We set up on a porch with diffusion, flags, and a 1200X to keep things natural but polished. Then we hit the streets of Temple, TX for some handheld B-roll and wrapped with a few drone shots to tie it all together.

Storytelling isn’t just about words — it’s how it feels on screen. 🎬

Case Study: Sitka Tundra Tours 🐻🌲🦅

We just wrapped a new video for Sitka Tundra Tours, showcasing the best of this Alaskan coastal town alongside the region’s #1 tour service.

When Sitka Tundra Tours approached us, their goal was clear: create a video that didn’t just show off Sitka’s beauty, but helped them book tours a year or more in advance.

Our script was written with that purpose in mind: highlighting the adventure, wildlife, and history of Sitka in a way that connects with travelers before they ever step off their cruise ship. The result? A powerful booking tool that keeps their vans full season after season, while making travel planning easy for their guests.

🎥 This is how Rustic River Media helps businesses go beyond “pretty visuals.” We craft videos that drive real results.

👉 If your company needs video or photo content that makes a difference, let’s talk.

🎨 Color isn’t just about making footage look good — it’s about pulling together all of the work you’ve put into a project and finally seeing the results.

We love this final step when working in Resolve, where every node is another step in shaping the final story. It’s a process that takes precision, patience, and a bit of creativity, but honestly, it’s the most satisfying step in video production.

Whether it’s for broadcast, web, or the big screen, we make sure every frame looks its best. 🎥

🎥 This week we had the privilege of covering the 2025 Texas Energy Elevated event in Katy, TX for TXOGA (Texas Oil & Gas Association) – capturing both video and stills to highlight an incredible gathering of leaders shaping the future of energy in Texas.
