H&M

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.

Custom Designed for Engagement

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.

Safe Driving Campaign with NHTSA and the NFL

C&I Studios partnered with Sinclair Broadcast Group and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to create a visually compelling campaign that promotes safe driving. By leveraging high-speed cinematography and NFL talent, we delivered impactful footage for the video production that encourages drivers to slow down and make responsible choices.

This project featured two standout NFL athletes and Super Bowl champions: Xavier Worthy and Mecole Hardman Jr.. Worthy, known for setting the fastest 40-yard dash time in history, brought his lightning-fast speed to the campaign, contrasting perfectly with the core message: slow down when it matters most. Similarly, Mecole Hardman Jr., celebrated for his incredible agility and explosive plays, was an ideal fit for promoting the importance of focused decision-making—whether on the field or the road. Together, these two athletes helped bring the campaign’s message to life, reinforcing the need for awareness and caution behind the wheel.

Capturing the Dream for DIRECTV

We were called on to capture a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Erica Sluder, the winner of the DIRECTV Derby Dream Sweepstakes. This sweepstakes gave Erica the opportunity to attend the prestigious Kentucky Derby, and our role was to document the magic of this event, creating high-quality content to promote the DIRECTV brand and its unique customer engagement initiatives. Our team executed the entire production, from on-site videography and photography to post-production editing and final delivery for both online and TV distribution.

As a full-service production company, C&I Studios handled every aspect of the project. We were on-site at the Kentucky Derby to film Erica’s exclusive experience, capturing her journey in both video and photography. Our crew worked seamlessly to cover all event angles, ensuring we documented the vibrancy of the Derby atmosphere and the personal moments that made Erica’s day unforgettable. From capturing the elegance of the Derby fashion to the excitement at the race, we ensured that each shot enhanced DIRECTV’s vision of an unparalleled “Dream Experience” event.

After capturing the essence of the event, our post-production team edited the footage and photographs to align with DIRECTV’s branding and marketing goals. We focused on delivering a polished and engaging final product that would resonate with a wide audience, showcasing DIRECTV’s commitment to offering memorable experiences to their customers.

Ford Mustang Promotion

Ford Mustang

Our large-capacity studio grounds are highly spacious and big enough to fit anything; yes, cars too.

The goal here was to utilize the best videography strategies and low lighting to create a cinematic-style ad for the Ford Mustang that captured what it felt like to drive it.

The shoot was done inside our studio, using a Cyclorama wall. Our experts at C&I Studios were able to capture amazing visuals with the aid of our state-of-the-art photography equipment. From close-ups to the interior and the entire body, we captured all the angles!

Time-consuming set-ups aren't necessary for creating dramatic lighting effects

Our extensive knowledge of how to use lighting to create drama in a video helped us create the perfect results for the Ford Mustang’s promotional ad. With the correct lighting, you can set the right mood. Our photographers make use of dramatic lighting in conveying meaning and emotion rather than simply capturing a subject’s physical appearance.

There are many bright and creative people working for C&I Studios who understand what it takes to create genuinely spectacular brand videos. Our video crew and editors have all worked on numerous projects across a variety of industries. Because of this, we are able to provide you with the finest possible service.

We work with brands to create masterpieces based on their vision, personality, and ideas.

76 Words

With 76 words, we have filmed numerous campaign videos and ads for political candidates at all levels. We all have the same goal in mind: to connect voters with candidates who have their best interests at heart, and this has resulted in a decade long collaboration.

When U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Mastro was running for the position of United States Senator for the state of Nevada, we worked with 76 words and created her campaign videos to help her reach out to people and explain her desire to correct the bias laws that had left hundreds of women with limited access to healthcare.

Among the numerous jobs we have worked over the years include:

The dallies. A political series that discusses policies and interventions.
Jose Hernandez’s campaign video for California’s 10th district Congress seat where we showed the people who the man they wanted to vote for truly was.
Congress candidate, Steven Horsford campaign ad. He ran on the premise of educational reform for the state of Nevada. We emphasis on the fact that Education is not something that can be taken away from the American people, and it should never be limited.
Congressional Candidate Jeff Van Drew’s campaign ad. He later ran against Seth Grossman, who violently opposed providing medical insurance coverage to American’s with pre-existing conditions.
American Nightmare The political ad that shed light on the hatred propagated by President Donald Trump and Chair of the Republican National Committee, Ed Gillespie.
Representative Lisa Montelione’s campaign video that was super creative and unique where we emphasized on her determination to work at all times for her constituents.

We also worked to educate people about the importance of new laws, such as Initiative 940, which would help reduce unnecessary violence by police officers by providing funding for them to be trained in nonviolent tactics.

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.

Because of our ability to cover events anywhere around the world. Pierce and C&I Studios were on the scene together at the Grovetown, GA city fair. This fair was intended to provide uplift and relief to low income families in the area. Our goal for this was to capture the emotion behind enjoying the little things in life. The heartfelt moments and temporary mental relief that a fun, free experience provides. It was a daring approach that paid off.

Producing Lasting Impacts

We wanted to make the message clear that Pierce Promotions creates experiences that connect audiences to the brands they know and continues to build that relationship long after the experience is over. We provided Pierce with everything they needed to solve their immediate marketing challenges.

C&I Studios has been proven to be one of the best digital companies out there, it was natural for us to be involved with Pierce Promotions. Over the evolution of our partnership we have come to admire their emotion-driven marketing solutions. Together we were unstoppable. Piece Promotions produced quality events while we produced high-quality video and photo content that put their partner’s businesses ahead of their competition.

The Purpose

Pierce has successfully made us their go-to digital company. Appealing to human emotions would be almost impossible without the help of captivating visuals. We’ve collaborated with Pierce on several projects thus far, another of which was Philadelphia Activation. Going into this project our aim was to detail the spectacular highlights of this event. In order to capture every detail we needed we used Drones and shot all media in 4K. Quality images and videos like the content we created for Pierce Promotions can be repurposed after the event for social media or used in the marketing campaigns of future events.

Conceptual Communications

Conceptual

Communications

What is conceptual communication?

Conceptual communication is a part of our everyday life. When dealing with others, how you communicate will influence how they feel and behave, which can make or break your job. Learning how communication works and some basic communication skills will make life a lot easier for all parties involved. Put plainly, communication is the process of sending and receiving information. It includes both verbal and nonverbal communication. Conceptual communication, mostly regarded as Visual and non-verbal communication entails using our imagination, to pass information.

Images first appeared between 10,000 and 45,000 years ago. Cro-Magnons began to sculpt, engrave, and paint wild creatures, human hands, and abstract patterns on their bodies and in caves. The first petroglyphs were made 10,000 BC in the Neolithic era – figures cut in stone that served as the beginning of the creation of written symbols.

Body language

Our facial expressions, tone of voice, gestures, posture, eye contact, and touch all communicate messages. When the verbal and nonverbal (body language) messages disagree, communication is misconstrued. People will become perplexed when you say one thing, but your body sends a different message. When confronted with contradictory messages, most individuals will believe what they see. You’ve most likely heard the expression “actions speak louder than words.” That is especially true in this case. You must be conscious of both your own and other people’s body language.

Visual communication

What exactly is visual communication?

Visual communication is the use of images to convey information. Visual communication with graphs and charts frequently supports written information and, in many cases, replaces it entirely. As the saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words,” and visual communication is often more potent than spoken and nonverbal communication. Visual communication is now much easier to express because of technological advancements.

Assume you need to find a way out of the building. You do not notice the signpost with the inscription, but you locate the sign with the image of the open door. That is Visual communication.

Visual communications design is typically created by a team of people, including artists, public relations managers, and marketers, and designers.

Ways a business can achieve effective communication

Visualization improves our ability to perceive information. A person can understand the message of a sign or commercial image in a matter of seconds. The primary applications of visualization are as follows:

Graphic design: Graphic design is a type of visual communication with certain aims that can be met through effective graphic design. It entails visually expressing concepts through the use of various graphics tools.

Interaction Design: Today, digital products such as applications are employed as strong tools to transmit messages and information. Digital products are made up of various aspects, each of which interacts with the consumer in a unique way. Interaction design is a design technique in which designers focus on how a product and its features interact with users. The relevant information is transmitted to end-users through the interactive design of digital products.

Brand Identification: Brand identity refers to the symbols, logos, shapes, and other visual components that different brands use to represent themselves. These are simple to recall, and whenever a person sees a brand’s emblem, they can associate it with the brand. A well-known company’s logo provides information about the product. For example, if you see an image of Medusa the Gorgon on the perfume bottle, you know it’s a Versace perfume.

Words are not always the most effective approach to express information and ideas. Sometimes rich pictures, rather than endless paragraphs of text, are the best way to tell a narrative. Good illustrations are focused and communicate the most crucial message quickly. Reports should be useful while also being simple to read. Flowcharts should emphasize the distinctions between old and new processes. It’s easy to overwhelm your viewers with too many ideas at once when generating images. The greatest images convey the message clearly, focusing attention on what is most important.

Paralenz

Dive in and enjoy the underwater scenery over and over again with a Paralenz camera rental

Paralenz wanted to highlight not just their amazing underwater cameras with these videos, but also that you don’t have to purchase one to create amazing underwater videos. And C&I Studios met that challenge!

As a company, Paralenz understands that not everyone is able to purchase underwater filming equipment, and so Paralenz has set up rental spots for anyone, from divers to snorkelers, beginners and experts, one-time users or avid ocean explorers to use at a moment’s notice. They wanted to show the world that everyone can access these amazing devices through rental locations in South Florida (US) and the Napoli Coast of Italy.

Paralenz Camera

The Paralenz video cameras are both easy to use under the water and do more than just record video. Your videos are uploaded to an app on your phone or other device, making them easy to share anytime and anywhere. The app also tracks your dive, sending the scientific information to conservationists to help keep our waters clean and thriving.

C&I Studios was able to create videos for Paralenz that showcase all this information. With professional video production, C&I Studios can highlight specific aspects of any business, such as rental options and locations, and how a product can be put in the hands of anyone who wants to use it, as well as feature a company’s story or a quick overview of the whole business. Videos draw in more views than just graphics and photos alone as they allow for more interaction between the viewer and the company.

End Results

For this project, C&I Studios shot video in two locations, in Florida (US) and the Napoli Coast of Italy where the Paralenz camera rentals are currently available. We can work from any location for any business, even on a boat or underwater!

C&I Studios was able to create not one, but two videos that work together seamlessly while showing off the unique aspects of each location that Paralenz rentals ar available. The videos feature local culture and scenery that are found only in South Florida and the Napoli Coast of Italy and why you’d want to be able to film your underwater diving adventures while visiting!

C&I Studios worked on this project from beginning concepts to post-production. We secured all talent from actors to production crew, filming locations and props that were used, and saw the project through to the end, creating a riveting piece of professional art that both C&I Studios and Paralenz can proudly display.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the world’s largest boat show. This mega event exhibits superyachts, antique cars, and demonstrations. Fort Lauderdale is known as the Yachting Capital of the World. The five-day show featured over 100,000 attendees, 1500 boats, and 1,000 exhibitors from 52 countries. The Marine Industries Association of South Florida (MIASF) hosts the International Boat Show every year.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

Telling their story

“The greatest Boat Show on the Seven Seas”

Located a few steps from the beach in South Florida, FLIBS stretches to 90 acres across three million square feet of exhibit space. With translucent water, the striking coastline in sunny South Florida, it is a heaven for passionate boat lovers.

When they approached us to shoot the promotional video for the 60th annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, they wanted us to capture the true spirit of the show and what makes it unique and the largest in-water boat show in the world.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is an economic powerhouse. The show has a massive impact on the local and statewide economy. It offers significant support to the $12 billion South Florida marine industry and supports critical economic certainty and job growth. With the promo, they wanted us to highlight the main offerings of the show.

The Shoot

We were super excited to shoot the promo for this extravagant and one of the most anticipated events of the year. Suffice to say the video production team had a big job on their hands. The Boat show has a huge buzz, and our task was to add more flair. The organizers were looking to hit the milestone by reaching record-breaking attendees. It didn’t need to be barrier-breaking content, but our team knew that the project required a sense of drama and excitement. With the Boat show having a loyal and vocal following, our main job was to keep them interested while attracting new followers.

When it comes to the marine industry, the content is very crucial. The marine industry needs content that has striking visuals. It has to be something that educates and enhances the audience’s interest. Our idea was to create a promo with noteworthy information and appealing visuals.

The video production team captured the alluring visuals to showcase the boats and exotic venue. To give the audience an idea of what they should expect from the show: the video precisely highlighted the attractions of the Boat Show.

The next step was the voice-over. Finding the right voice for the promo is no easy task. How do you find the charismatic voice that draws attention and influences the viewers to attend an event? Eventually, the production team found someone who got the people buzzing about the show.

Worth mentioning, no promo is complete without the uplifting and enticing music.

All elements came together to create an exciting promo to put the people in the mood for the highly-anticipated International Boat Show.

The Results

The promo was able to create a huge buzz. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show was a big success, and it was able to attract a record number of attendees.

Geneva Seal

The Brand

Geneva Seal is a fashion-forward jeweler showcasing the finest collection of diamonds, jewelry, antique watches, and timepieces available today.

The LegacyIt is a family legacy spanning more than 50 years, from its origins in the diamond wholesale business, to an elegant boutique on Oak Street, Chicago; their focus is on providing a personalized service that caters to any customer’s needs.

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.

The Animation

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.

After

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.

Florida Quality Roofing

Giving a family-owned business the means to expand their market.

Florida Quality Roofing has been in business since 2002, and even before that their roots dug deep into roofing craftsmanship. When the family business was passed down to the next generation, the new president and vice president contacted us to modernize their brand.

They were lacking quality media content and had an outdated website that needed improved functionality. After learning their business goals, we got to work creating a new website built to enhance conversions and house their new media content, of which client testimonials were a major part. Of the many services we provided, the following were the most crucial to their business:

Video Production
Website Design and Development
Marketing

A complete website overhaul was the most essential aspect of modernizing Florida Quality Roofing. It guided content generation and provided deep insights on what else was needed to get the job done.

COVID-19 Business Update

Navigating uncertain times with class.

The novel coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. put many businesses in a hard place. Profits shrunk overnight, existing client work was postponed or vanished entirely, and businesses’ ability to conduct their normal services was greatly limited in an effort to flatten the curve.

Florida Quality Roofing was not immune to this massive economic shift. However, unlike most businesses, they did not roll over and wait for this period of uncertainty to pass us by.

Rather, they adapted to the situation and enlisted our video production services to inform their clientele of the safety measures being employed companywide and their continued ability to provide 5-star roofing maintenance and replacement despite the circumstances.

Proactive business strategies such as this are the most effective way of capitalizing on the economic uptick once the time. Even though this is a rather simple message, it reassured Florida Quality Roofing’s clientele and reinforced their dedication to the community. By remaining vocal and present they put their business in a good position to capture to convert clients and improve lead generation.

LaySee Pillow

The Eyeglass Pillow by LaySee Pillow is the answer to a longtime annoyance.

If you wear seeing eyeglasses, then you know how uncomfortable it is to lay on your side. Pillows simply do not agree with glasses. They shift your sight, press your glasses into your skull, or completely obstruct your view of the television! Well, not anymore.

LaySee Pillow invents comfortable, practical solutions for everyday people. Their innovations in the home goods retail department have been a great benefit for people of all ages, especially those who wear glasses. When they were ready to launch their latest product, the Eyeglass Pillow, they came to us because of the work we did for Ghostbed and the success of their ad campaign.

LaySee Pillow wanted to hit the market hard with a memorable and catchy piece of visual media that would encourage users to explore their brand and make a purchase. With this goal in mind, we created a straightforward ad with eclectic characters that is both fun and succinct. We included bite-sized pieces of information on the screen in the form of text to educate consumers on the benefit of their product and leave a lasting impression.

When spotlighting their company culture, we chose to inject a bit of humor into the piece. This was a key element in showing the human factor in their business and the many unique personalities that contribute to their ongoing mission. As a whole, this video sheds light on the outstanding people at the helm of their business, as well as the scope of their influence.

These videos were originally revealed at Moss Construction’s annual company retreat in dedication to all of their employees, but remain a valuable asset for their branding and marketing.
