A Glimpse Behind the Scenes

Behind the scenes video production series by C&I Studios

Behind the scenes video production shot on film in black and white

BKG is our behind the scenes series. Short voice over films about the process, the people, and the reasons behind the projects we take on. It is behind the scenes video production made with the same care we bring to the work it documents.

Every piece is shot on retro film cameras, in black and white. That is not a filter we add at the end. It is a decision about attention. Black and white removes everything that distracts and leaves shape, light, and gesture.

Whether we are making something for creative purposes or corporate purposes, we move with the same artistic intention, expression, and passion. BKG is where that shows. A glimpse into the raw heart and soul that goes into our projects.

The Series

Inside the Work

Why We Do This

Runtime 0:46

Ask anyone here why they do this and you will not get a job description. You will get something closer to a compulsion. A crew is not a list of roles you fill, it is a group of people who care about the same thing at the same time.

The Stories and the People

Runtime 0:33

Black Pop took us inside a documentary interview series about Black culture. A real answer cannot be directed. All you can do is build a room that invites one, then stay quiet.

No Easy Way

Runtime 2:00

The hustle is the part of the job that never makes the reel and matters most. We are not looking for the easy way. We are looking to learn and to do it right, so every project leaves the team stronger.

Shooting New York

Runtime 0:15

From New York, I Love You is part of our I Love You series. The city hands you noise, weather, and crowds. It also hands you a backdrop nothing can fake.

The Overlooked Frame

Runtime 0:41

Street photography is the purest version of what this series is about. No call sheet, just a mural, a corner, a stranger. The discipline is finding beauty in the everyday and the overlooked.

Making It Real

Runtime 2:06

Telling a story is the easy half. Making it real is the work. You are building a world a viewer can step into. We are not trying to show you something, we are trying to put you somewhere.

Let’s Make Something Real

Every project we take on gets this level of attention. If you are building something that deserves real craft behind it, we would like to hear about it. Tell us what you are making and we will bring the crew, the cameras, and the care to match it.
