De La Torre Tequila

Capturing Tequila's True Essence

De La Torre Tequila represents the perfect marriage of traditional Mexican craftsmanship and contemporary vision. When they needed content that honored both their heritage and modern approach, they brought us to Guadalajara – the heart of tequila country – to tell their story authentically.

Working alongside Lombardo and Partners, we created compelling brand storytelling content that captured the meticulous process behind every bottle. Our approach focused on the human elements of tequila making, from the agave fields to the final product.

Morning Light in the Agave Fields

Our first day started before sunrise in the agave fields outside Guadalajara. The morning mist clung to the blue agave plants as jimadores began their work, their practiced hands selecting only the ripest piñas.

We kept our camera movements deliberate and unhurried, matching the rhythm of generations-old harvesting techniques. The challenge was capturing both the physicality of the work and the quiet pride these craftsmen take in their expertise.

When Authenticity Meets Ambition

De La Torre Tequilas story resonates because it respects tradition while embracing innovation. Our role was documenting this balance honestly, letting their commitment to quality speak through every frame. The resulting content connects with audiences who appreciate both craftsmanship and contemporary vision.

Whether your brand needs to showcase traditional processes, highlight artisanal quality, or connect heritage with modern appeal, authentic storytelling makes the difference. Contact us to discuss how we can help tell your brand’s story with the respect and impact it deserves.

Multi-City Production That Delivers Performance Energy

Celsius needed a commercial that captured the energy and performance drive their brand represents, requiring production scale that could match their ambition. This multi-day shoot spanned multiple major US cities, involving athlete talent coordination, diverse location management, and comprehensive crew support from pre-production through final delivery.

We provided complete commercial production services, including bicoastal filming, athlete and location coordination, full crew management, and post-production editing. Our approach balanced the logistical complexity of large-scale production with the creative focus needed to capture authentic athletic performance and brand energy.

One Commercial. Six Cities.

The Celsius commercial required intricate scheduling that aligned athlete availability with optimal filming conditions at multiple locations in six cities: Clemson, SC, Columbus, OH, St. Louis, MO, Ann Arbor and Belleville, MI, and Los Angeles, CA. Location management involved securing and preparing both interior and exterior spaces that showcased Celsius’s brand aesthetic while accommodating commercial production demands.

Our pre-production planning created detailed shot lists and scheduling documents that kept the multi-day, multi-location production running efficiently despite the complexities of multi-city coordination.

Multi-Day Production With Full Crew Support

The 14-day shoot demanded comprehensive crew management that maintained consistent production quality across changing locations and conditions. We assembled and managed complete production teams in all cities, ensuring technical continuity and creative consistency regardless of which location we were filming. Interior shoots required controlled lighting setups that could be adapted quickly as we moved between spaces, while exterior filming demanded flexibility to work with natural light and environmental conditions that shifted throughout shooting days.

Our crew handled everything from camera operation and lighting to sound recording and production assistance, creating the infrastructure needed for efficient filming while our direction team focused on capturing the athletic performance and brand messaging that would drive the commercial’s impact.

BasketPong

Bringing BasketPong’s Family-Friendly Beach Game to Life

BasketPong is reinventing summer fun. Inspired by classic “beer pong” but designed for all ages, this vibrant, family-friendly game brings people together by the pool, on the beach, or in the park. When BasketPong needed professional visuals to showcase their product’s energy and versatility, they trusted C&I Studios to tell their story through dynamic photography and compelling video footage.

From initial shoots to final delivery, our team managed the entire creative process—capturing exciting gameplay, editing with precision, and adapting content until it perfectly reflected BasketPong’s fun, inclusive spirit. Our goal was simple: produce vibrant, engaging visuals that not only show the product in action but also connect emotionally with players of all ages and lifestyles.

Bringing Summer Vibes and Gameplay Into Focus

BasketPong thrives on energy, laughter, and social connection. To translate this into images and videos, we planned shoots in outdoor settings that reflect the game’s natural environments; sunny beaches, lively poolsides, and sprawling park spaces. The footage needed to feel authentic, full of movement and interaction, capturing real smiles, competitive moments, and the laid-back summer vibe that defines the game.

Our photographers and videographers worked with players of all ages, creating scenes that felt spontaneous but were thoughtfully crafted to highlight BasketPong’s ease of play, portability, and family-friendly appeal.

A Collaborative Process From Shoot to Final Cut

Producing content that meets a client’s vision means staying flexible and communicative. After the initial shoot, our editing team carefully assembled video cuts that told the story in a clear, exciting way. We applied color correction, motion graphics, and pacing adjustments to ensure the final product popped on digital platforms.

Throughout the revision process, we welcomed client feedback, making tailored changes to timing, transitions, and key messaging. This back-and-forth refinement guaranteed that the final deliverables not only met BasketPong’s expectations but also aligned perfectly with their brand tone and marketing goals.

Elevate Your Product with Expert Photography and Video

If you have a product that needs to come alive visually—whether it’s an outdoor game like BasketPong, a lifestyle brand, or any other category—C&I Studios offers full-service production and post-production support designed to highlight your unique story.

We combine creative vision with technical skill to craft engaging photo and video content that drives awareness, boosts sales, and strengthens your brand identity.

Live and Virtual Event Execution at Scale

H&M entrusted us with the challenge of producing a series of high-level live stream and video experiences for their Region Americas division—events designed to connect thousands of employees across North, Central, and South America. The scope included two internal town halls in New York City and a multi-day corporate summit in Las Vegas, each with its own technical demands, creative direction, and logistical complexity.

These productions went far beyond simply broadcasting meetings. They required flawless execution across multiple languages, seamless collaboration with international teams, and the ability to transform physical spaces into polished, on-brand experiences that aligned with H&M’s global identity.

Two Town Halls. One Consistent Standard.

We supported H&M through two internal town halls in New York City, each with distinct challenges. The first was a third-party venue we scouted and vetted, and the second was H&M’s NYC headquarters.

H&M had a specific requirement for both events: deliver live-streamed events with real-time accessibility in English, Spanish, and Canadian French. We utilized AI and traditional tech to provide translated subtitles and audible voice interpretation, integrated directly into the live streams. Post-event, we delivered all three language transcripts for H&M’s video archives.

Two Unique Town Halls. One Consistent Standard.

We supported H&M through two internal town halls in New York City, each with distinct challenges. For the first, we conducted a full location scout to find a third-party venue that aligned with H&M’s global aesthetic and was fully capable of supporting our live stream infrastructure.

The second town hall was hosted at H&M’s NYC headquarters, which required creative solutions to transform their dedicated operational space into a fully built live production set. H&M had a specific requirement for both events: deliver live-streamed events with real-time accessibility in English, Spanish, and Canadian French.

Full-Scale Event Production at the Virgin Hotel & Casino

The H&M Region Americas Summit in Las Vegas was a flagship event—and a massive undertaking. We began with a venue scout and planning session months in advance, working hand-in-hand with the in-house team at the Virgin Hotel and Casino to run a multi-day event inside their largest theater.

We coordinated cross-country crew travel, including transporting our 7-ton grip truck from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Our live stream and production crews ran an 8-camera setup, including a jib camera for sweeping cinematic shots. Over four days—including setup, rehearsal, and execution—we directed every element of the show: lighting, music, screen playback, and multi-feed live stream switching.

One of the Summit’s highlights was an unexpected twist: a custom-built Jeopardy-style game built by our creative tech team. Initially a simple request, we elevated it into a full-scale, interactive experience that mirrored the real game show—down to automated button scripting and dynamic visuals. Attendees were blown away by the high production value, and H&M’s hosts were able to engage the room like true TV presenters. It was a moment of fun and innovation, powered by our in-house creative and technical expertise.

Our crew brought together a deep bench of seasoned professionals across every department: camera operators, 1st ACs, jib operators, BTS shooters, grips, gaffers, audio engineers, livestream producers, and a dedicated show runner guiding it all from start to finish.

This team moved with precision, communicated with clarity, and adapted instantly to the shifting demands of each production day. The energy was focused, the pace was fast, and the results reflected the kind of professionalism that comes from real-world experience. When clients or venue staff work with us, they know immediately: this is a crew that knows what they’re doing.

Beatriz Corbett

World Class Talent

We have worked with Beatriz several times throughout the last few years here at C&I. From the first shoot that we collaborated on, it was very clear that Beatriz was made for this career. She maintains such natural energy, follows direction well, and embraces every opportunity to positively engage with the people she works with.

A Miss Brazil USA 2018 runner-up, Beatriz really brings out the best from our team. This particular shoot was challenging, as we wanted to capture Beatriz and all of her visual potential perfectly. We decided to compliment and emphasize her look by shooting her on a bike. We then took this one step further, and added dramatic and colorful lighting. All of these factors came together to form some fantastic final images. Beatriz was a real pro, and our team was able to capture her powerful presence, while also flattering her graceful beauty.

Lola Rose

Lighting is Everything

The purpose of this production was to produce high-quality images for the e-commerce website and social media pages of the global jewelry brand Lola Rose. We understood the assignment! We worked closely with Lola Rose to ensure that we captured their gemstone dials in the best light possible.

Jewelry needs to be photographed in a particular lighting that captures their unique details and effortlessly showcases the craftsmanship that goes into creating them. In the case of Lola Rose, we focused on their elegant Malachite watches.

Understanding the Intent of Lola Rose

At C&I Studios, we understand that professionally taken, high-quality, images are the only way to promote high-end jewelry like Lola Rose’s Malachite watches. With this in mind, we captured a variety of content from close-up shots of the watches to videos of the products being worn by models with an array of skin tones.

Our thought process behind this was to give the everyday buyer an accurate visual representation of what to expect. By photographing different women with different skin tones, Lola Rose has the ability to expand their brand awareness to women who can relate to the content we produced.

Our Innovative Ideas and Production Knowledge Achieve Impossible Outcomes

Inspired by Lola Rose’s elegant charm and sophistication, our production crew set out to create a space with the same upscale elegance. In order to have the custom set read on screen in the best way possible, our set designers used rigs, mounts, reflectors, and diffusers to create the set you see in the video.

We took our time to color match the set to Lola Rose’s exact brand colors and installed decorative panel moulding on the walls; simple details that gave the room the same upscale elegance that Lola Rose exemplifies. It’s considerations like these that elevate our professional storytelling abilities above our competitors. We are professionals at producing the impossible in order to bring our clients’ visions to life. At C&I Studios, we pride ourselves on our talent to develop innovative solutions that produce captivating imagery without compromising quality.

We leveraged our extensive expertise in the production industry to seamlessly orchestrate every facet of media days, from shot list creation to talent acquisition and in-house production.

With a keen eye for pre-production details, we curated a wide variety of looks that aligned seamlessly with the brand’s needs.

Pre-Production

Content Creation

For this project, we delivered traditional photos and 3D-rendered replicas of various imPRESS Press-On Nails products. Traditional flat-lay photography is straightforward and familiar but is constrained by physical real-world limitations. We removed those limits by investing substantial effort in crafting detailed and accurate 3D models, utilizing advanced 3D software applications to build models, scenes, and aesthetic doodads from scratch. The outcome speaks for itself — a seamless blend of traditional and 3D imagery that brings the client’s products to life in a visually striking manner.

Standing Out from the Crowd

After we wrapped up filming the first seasons of Top Recruiter in Miami, the Human 2 Human TV network producers came to us with a proposal to direct the next seasons of their reality series in London. Producing original content is our passion, and they knew that we’d take a unique approach when filming their series. As an independent studio company we have the ability to go beyond the limitation of traditional filming, and with over a decade of expertise we are constantly way ahead of the game. As always, we used our premium 5k Red Scarlet Dragon and 6k Red Epic cameras to get the highest quality videos.

While filming the first two seasons of Top Recruiter, we filmed most of the show on location throughout Miami. For contestant interviews, B-roll clips, trailers, and Top Recruiter’s promotional media, we filmed inside of our fully equipped production studio in Fort Lauderdale. Years later, when we headed to London to film the third and fourth seasons we scouted an enormous castle that was able to house the entire production and crew during filming.

Bleu de Chanel

Bleu de Chanel’s brand is luxurious and sophisticated, so we wanted to create a promotional video that exuded the same aesthetic. This video is simple, clean, and sophisticated.

This promotion is a fully 3D rendered project that we created in our own studio, no need for the product to be photographed. It shows off the product in a simple, realistic-yet-fantastical representation. It’s a promotion we are incredibly proud of, and one that Chanel can be proud to promote.

Flawless 3D Rendering

We meticulously crafted this promotion leveraging our cutting-edge 3D rendering program, Cinema 4D. This advanced software enables us to achieve unparalleled realism and precision, allowing for seamless integration of lifelike textures illuminating the glass bottles with a captivating radiance that mirrors their real-world counterparts. The results are photorealistic.

Taking the production a step further, we also rendered the captivating sight of Bleu de Chanel resting upon a rippling liquid floor, symbolizing the invigorating sensations evoked by this remarkable fragrance. This subtle yet enchanting animation adds a touch of fantasy while remaining true to the renowned Chanel brand.

Our in-house studio composed the accompanying audio, crafting original music that elevates the promotional video above its competitors. By integrating custom sound design, our production captures attention and leaves a lasting impression.

Beauty

Beauty is in the Soul

Exquisite in Every Detail

We know that beauty changes from brand to brand and it’s important to capture every detail in every shot, all the way down to the texture of a label. A 3D animated product render is a perfect technique to show off your product in a simple, realistic-yet-fantastical way. Our in-house animators use 3D rendering programs, like Cinema 4D, to highlight key details of a product that a traditional photograph can’t capture.

What keeps us fresh is working with a wide variety of beauty brands. This allows us to capture different aspects of beauty and create an accurate and diverse representation of it. We also have a team of experts who help us in this process, including hair and makeup artists, photographers, and stylists.

C&I uses both traditional and contemporary approaches to capturing beauty. However, we believe there’s only one true way of doing so – with a diverse set of viewpoints that represent everything that encompasses beauty. By having a diverse team, we can find the best way to capture beauty for each individual brand.

Beauty is Simplicity

It’s simple there’s beauty in everything. C&I Studios uses traditional techniques to pull the beauty out of every shot and enhances that beauty in post-production with contemporary techniques like 3D rendering and HDR editing. The simplest edit can have the biggest visual impact. We are professionals in highlighting the right features on your products to grab the attention of your existing customers and draw the attention of new audiences to explore your brand.

Beauty in Perfection

We use a variety of techniques to photograph beauty products, including stills, 360-degree shots, and videos. We also use a variety of lights and backdrops to create the perfect look for each product. Our team also works with brands to create custom photography that meets their specific needs.

Creating Marketing Materials that Work Together

The video we produced with BB Sheep is versatile enough to be used for multiple of their marketing campaigns. We produced an engaging video of fun music, bright colors, and happy people. We took photographs that mirrored the theme of the video so that any campaign BB Sheep uses both in are seamless. These photos can work as promotional materials as well as product photography for their e-commerce websites. Creating marketing materials that work together will enforce brand awareness for BB Sheep, and in turn boost the reach of their marketing campaigns. We wanted to make sure their products were captured and marketed beautifully to match the beauty of their business.

Something for Everyone

C&I Studios worked with BB Sheep to create a campaign that includes both photography and video. We were able to get amazing footage and photographs with a production team of five to six people using both the Canon 5D and the Red Monstro cameras. We wanted to show off the size diversity of the products BB Sheep sells. It was also important to capture the many different colors available.

Kinbe Kids

Pint Size Heroes

We have helped Kinbe Kids create two brand videos that highlight how devoted they are to providing premium leather baby moccasins that allow infant’s feet to breathe and move freely. Kinbe Kids’ extremely comfy shoes have been tested and approved by a variety of parents. We wanted our brand videos to present why new parents have put their trust in Kinbe Kids enough to rate them as one of the best infant moccasins on the market.

They are the Future

Kinbe Kids had the vision of entering into other eco-friendly baby wear categories such as t-shirts, shorts, overalls, and so on. We were able to showcase their expanding product line through the numerous product shots and videos we took during our one-day, full service, production shoot.

With the heartwarming photographs, product shots, and brand videos we were able to capture for Kinbe Kids, they will be able to leave a long-lasting impression in the minds of their online and social media audiences.

There is this joy that spreads from your heart to your soul when you get the opportunity to see babies in their happy hours. Kinbe Kids’ is an online store that specializes in selling the best quality shoes for infants. We collaborated with them in bringing their ideas to life by photographing their products in action. To pass across the right message and connect with Kinbe Kids’ target audience, young parents and new moms, we used actors who were part of the same demographic.

Providing a Safe Place

C&I Studios immediately felt connected to Kinbe Kids’ sustainable mission and donation based business model because we have similar goals for our non-profit organization C&I Reach. That is why we knew that we had to help Kinbe Kids showcase this important aspect of their brand through our professionally produced video content and crisp product shots.

Aqua Hair Extensions

At C&I Studios, we were tasked to shed the right light on the brand, Aqua Hair Extensions, and to capture the community it created in the fashion and beauty niche. For a brand like Aqua, which already has a steady following, we knew that the challenge would not be to break the market but to create a better understanding of how it is a lifestyle for those that use it. That reason was not lost on us when we began planning the project. The job could have been given to anyone but they came to us because they trusted our sound judgement. We came to a conclusion that we would create a series of videos that showed Aqua educators how to put their training into practice.

We shot over three days to get the job done and used two different cameras on different session days, our RED Scarlet and Monstro one day and the Raven and Dragon on the other. We developed the studio into an interview setting so that we could have renowned hair stylists who use the products tell us how they improved their business with it.

“There is one thing the photo must contain – the humanity of the moment.”

We needed to project the unique image and style the brand is known for, their idea of beauty, and how they appeal to consumers from various walks of life. It was also important to highlight all the unique hairstyles, textures & colors to justify just how much more than a trend Aqua Hair extensions are. So we also had a product shoot where we captured all the products in Aqua’s inventory.

Aqua Hair Extensions are known by the fashion-savvy for their 100% high-quality human hair extensions and accessories.

Approach

Delivery

Our method was to capture various content related to the attendee’s reactions to everything. This allowed us to let viewers get a deeper perspective on Aqua Extensions classes which are engaging and fun.

The challenge was shooting in a very standard hotel conference room with little room to maneuver, so we needed to get shots that did not focus on the location as much but directly on the subject and what they were doing.

We also made sure to include the core that the company reaffirms to all it’s consumers.

The core mandates of the company are:

To continually provide high-quality items.
To deliver dependable and outstanding customer service.
Constantly researching and developing new and fascinating items.
To deliver advanced beauty instruction to professionals.

At the end of the sessions, we had created a masterpiece for Aqua, who trusted us from onset. Best of all, we had fun.

Telling the Story.

“Our collective efforts to build something have made this city thrive… and our family’s no different.”

Chicago. A city of noise, congestion, people—and above all, innovation. For the family behind Geneva Seal, this is home. A city where progress and handwork have allowed them to plant roots that span more than 50 years. When they came to us, they were looking for a way to tell this story, a story of humble European origins, and a rich family heritage that unites sophistication and elegance.

This once small business had evolved from the early days of importing diamonds to today, where they deliver over four thousand pieces a year. And they needed us to deliver this information, whilst evoking in the viewer their brand’s joint principles of service, quality, value, and trust. For Geneva Seal is more than just about business. They are about legacy.

Perhaps the most rewarding challenge of this project was the 2D and 3D animations involved in pulling the whole thing off. Luckily, our graphic design team was ready and eager to rise to the challenge.

Our research on the Fulton Market district formed the basis of an intimate study, which was how we were able to capture the authenticity of these iconic buildings in an area known for its hip entertainment venues and modern restaurants.

From the analog pencil sketches taken from drone footage to the computer-generated imagery they eventually became, our VFX team did not rest until they had something convincing to show. And their hard work really did pay off – the final result speaks for itself.

The Shoot

We were tasked with the awesome responsibility of telling this story. Geneva Seal entrusted us to take their brand of nationally-renowned sophistication and, through the eyes of our video production, bring its history to life. But video production does not simply start when the camera begins to roll, and it certainly does not end when it ceases…

After delivering a custom script for approval, Location was our next focus: Chicago. Sore-front stills and stock-shots of the iconic city streets were taken, as well as footage captured of city-scapes through the eyes of a drone.

Then came the talent. Scouting for a voice-over and finding just the right fit is not always the easiest thing to do; how do you find a voice that tells an inspiring story but stays true to the elegance of the brand itself, and is compelling, all at the same time? Well, we like to think we found it.

And of course, no story-telling video is complete without effective music as company.
All of these elements came together in the end to tell the story of a 50-year old legacy, a family business, and a brand that embodies timeless sophistication, style, and value.

Behind the Scenes

PERETTI ITALY

Peretti Italy is an up and coming Italian fashion brand that we developed and positioned for international success.

The designer, Analisa Perretti, hired our team to design a chic brand image and lead the debut of her first fashion line: a collection of Italian summer dresses. The main challenge here was launching a brand with enough appeal to compete with the most popular high-end fashion brands in the industry, like Luis Vuitton, Prada, Dulce & Gabbana, and so on. This was a major challenge as Peretti Italy was entirely unknown and, therefore, did not have any standing in the fashion industry leading up to launch. But that wouldn’t stop us. We put our brains together and came up with a brand image that emits luxury.

Of the collection of branding and promotional materials we delivered for Peretti Italy, the most valuable were:

A fully developed brand guideline (left)
A thorough and thoughtful TOV document informing all aspects of brand communication
Branded packaging with playful inserts for community development
Branded business cards
Original Photography (for social media)
Original Videography (for social media)
A detailed marketing strategy (with comprehensive industry and competitive analyses)

All of these services played an essential role in our overall launch strategy. With each successive piece of content in place, we were able to steadily build momentum and scale Annalisa Peretti’s social media following while positioning her audience to become first-time buyers at launch.

BRAND EVOLUTION

The evolution of the Peretti Italy brand was one of the more exciting developments.

We presented many options to the client, showing various applications of the brand in action to provide a realistic real-world point of view. After narrowing down our top 3 logos, we applied the favorited logos to multiple frontiers from storefront mockups to packaging, stationery, and more.

Our all-inclusive approach presents all of the necessary information for the client to make the best decision for their business. Furthermore, this level of detail provides rare insights into the evolution of the brand following launch.

No matter the project, we approach everything with one mindset: this brand is going to make it big! Because of this, we plan the brand’s growth years down the road. This forward-thinking snapshot shows what we expect the brand to achieve.

SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT

We handled every aspect of Annalisa Peretti’s social media accounts in the months leading up to launch.

In an effort to position Annalisa Peretti, the chief designer of Peretti Italy fashion, as a thought leader in her industry, we created a diverse menu of media showcasing her luxurious lifestyle.

The media we created is all set in Los Angeles and aims to connect the designer’s personality with her profession: fashion. We photographed Annalisa Peretti wearing beautiful outfits from other top designers and walked the city with her to get these amazing shots.

Overall, this was used to tease the launch of her fashion line and begin conditioning her audience to receive ads and interact with intake forms for use in further marketing efforts.

We managed thousands of engagements, interacting with social media users around the world. It was our mission to elevate Annalisa’s audience’s perception of her and win over their trust before marketing her fashion line. To this end, we accomplished our mission.
