Rustic River Media

Rustic River Media Your go-to resource for video production, business photography, content creation and live-streaming.

Rustic River Media is a collection of likeminded individuals who all possess a sickness called frame fever. Shooting an unnecessary amount of scenes and possessing a disastrous addiction to lenses, we have a passion for producing cinematic films with a vintage look. We love coffee, we love traveling and we love creating content for social media marketing. We desire to be the life of the party, all while pushing the envelope for that extra creative shot.

Working in Katy, Texas this week on another story-driven video project. 🎥🎣

This one focuses on a man who has spent years giving back to fishing here in Texas, helping educate families and introducing more people to the outdoors through fishing.

We spent day one capturing his interview with a two-camera setup and full lighting package, laying the groundwork for the story we’ll continue filming over the next few days.

Projects like this are a big part of what we do at Rustic River Media. From interviews and documentary-style storytelling to commercial and corporate video production, we can bring the cameras, lighting, audio and crew needed to handle the entire production from start to finish.

Looking forward to sharing more about this one once the finished piece is released! 🎬

A few screen grabs from a recent film shoot. 🎥🎣

A couple of early mornings on the water made for some pretty great visuals. Always fun getting to capture stories in places like this.

First stop on the road: Lake Fork, Texas. 🎥🎣

I’m spending the first week of my multi-week road trip here filming a story that has taken us from the water to the workshop and given us a chance to capture a pretty unique part of the fishing world.

I can’t share too much about this one just yet, but it’s been a really cool opportunity to document two brothers who have spent decades perfecting their craft and have made quite a name for themselves along the way.

More to come once the finished piece is released. For now, here’s a little behind-the-scenes look at a couple of the interview portions of this shoot.

There’s a lot happening behind the camera during a live production. 🎥

From camera operators and wireless video feeds to comms, audio, switching, bonded internet and everything else happening behind the scenes, every piece has to work together in real time.

That’s the kind of work we love doing at Rustic River Media.

Ep. 119 - How Live-streaming Became One of My Most Profitable Video Production Services

On this episode of The Filming with Josh Podcast, I break down how professional live-streaming has grown from a service I knew almost nothing about into one of the most profitable parts of my video production business.

I share how I first got into live-streaming in 2017, how my setup and capabilities have evolved over the years, and why I believe professional live-streaming presents a unique opportunity for video production companies. From less competition and higher day rates to the ability to offer a specialized service without the lengthy post-production process of traditional video projects, I explain why live-streaming has become such an important part of my business.

I also take a deep dive into what it takes to produce a professional broadcast-quality livestream, including multi-camera productions, audio, bonded internet, graphics, presentation feeds, iMag, instant replay, wireless video, comms, redundancy, and more. I walk through the different levels of live-streaming my company offers and discuss the equipment and crew required as productions become larger and more complex.

If you’re a filmmaker, videographer, production company owner, or creative professional looking for another revenue stream to add to your business and want to learn more about the opportunities, challenges, investment, and earning potential of professional live-streaming, this podcast is for you!

Another TxSPC Symposium in the books! 🎥

This week marked our fourth consecutive year live-streaming the annual Texas Su***de Prevention Collaborative, a multi-day event featuring numerous presenters and sessions.

Our crew managed the full livestream production, including multiple cameras, each with its own wireless video feed, front-of-house audio for the room, a separate mix for the livestream, an overflow-room video/audio feed, and the various IT needs that come with keeping an event like this running smoothly for multiple days.

It takes a lot of gear and a good crew to make it all work. Between the cameras, microphones, Teradek wireless systems, livestream switchers, comms, audio consoles, computers, and a pile of cables running everywhere, there are a lot of moving pieces behind the scenes, but our experienced team pulled it off yet again.

Big thanks to the amazing people at TxSPC for continuing to trust us with this important symposium, and to our crew for another successful live event!

Setup and ready for another multi-day, quad-camera livestream! 🎥

This time, we’re in our hometown of New Braunfels, streaming the TxSPC Symposium for the fourth year in a row.

We’ve got our wonderful sound guy Jake handling front of house and the stream mix, Oakwood staple Brett on the main camera, and our own producer Josh directing the show.

It’s always good to work close to home, especially with a crew we know and trust.

If you’re in need of a professional livestream team here in Texas, give us a call!

A 4:30 AM call time for a 6:30 ET hit on Fox Business. 🎥

After a couple of weeks live-streaming from a nuclear facility in Texas, it was really fulfilling to help give a national audience a look at what they’ve been working on.

Big thanks to Camera Clay for bringing us in for the live-streaming side of this project. It’s been a challenging and rewarding couple of weeks, and we’ve really enjoyed working alongside Eric Hunter and his crew to make it happen.

On to the next one!
