PetMio
Challenge
In order to build a solid website that was both fun, and effective at demonstrating all of PetMio’s components to their Kickstarter, our designers needed to design an experience that was enjoyable to navigate while presenting all their services in a clear, understandable manner.


Process
Our strategy to tell the PetMio story presents the viewer with a video we made for their Kickstarter Campaign. Alongside our design and photography, we effectively brought warmth and life into the brand.
Our solution was a fluid design that showcased the life and warmth of pets, all while informing the audience about PetMio’s services and smart devices. The look and feel of the design are memorable and has succeeded in bringing in traffic to their Kickstarter campaign.
Design
Our main goal was to visually merge science and fun into a website that informs viewers what PetMio is all about to establish their credibility within the dog food and smart device market. This meant creating customized design elements to showcase their product’s various features in a clear format.


Off-White
Off-White™️
6up is a full-service event production company, specializing in creatively executed and strategically driven live experiences.
They hired our creative team to photograph and film a fly poster guerrilla marketing push created for Off-White™️ during New York Fashion Week. Our vision aimed to capture the impulsive, desperado culture associated with this type of old-school, in-your-face marketing. We used candid, almost secretive style photography as a gest to the clandestine nature of flyposting.
All of the models in this shoot are passes by, most of whom were attending NYFW. Their presence injected a sense of randomness and grunginess, which speaks to the guerilla marketing style. We intentionally included many variables so the viewer would feel the same sense of adventure and rush that one experiences when going against the status quo. Overall, the dynamic range of people and places included in this photo gallery elevates the entire scope of our work.




The Challenge
Our team faced certain challenges on this assignment, primarily concerning time and space. When marketing via flyposting [a.k.a., wild-posting] every square inch of public space is free-game considering it is all unowned real estate. Where one poster is plastered a second may immediately cover it up. Therefore, we needed to act quickly. And that meant responding to the tireless pace of New York City.
This, combined with the fact that it is illegal to film the activity of flyposting in New York City, made it increasingly difficult to photograph 6up’s guerilla marketing before it was tainted by another brand. Furthermore, to completely capture the full scope of this campaign, we needed to cover a lot of ground in a finite amount of time. From 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM our team traveled between Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Soho—from one grungy city corner to the next.
A second challenge [but, in the end, an aesthetic gateway] was the fact that it rained all day long! The client was so pleased by the way our team overcame the elements and adapted to the lugubrious filter that had been cast on that winter day in New York City. By means of dark corners, mirrored images, puddled reflections and the piercing eye-contact of passersby our team was able to turn damp, grungy cityscapes into an icon for Off-White™️ clothing and a statement for NYFW.


The Results
In accordance with the rebellious act of flyposting, we wanted our photography to appear somewhat unlawful and unapologetically intentional. So, from city corners, we turned to the people of NYC. This was our way of invigorating the media with a certain Off-White™️ attitude. We had the models stare directly into the camera while we snapped photos from hidden vantage points. The result makes the viewer feel as if they are being caught in the act of photographing someone without their permission.
The choice to simulate candid shots really livened the gallery while lending a certain measure of authority to the photographer just as much as it does to the model. That was important to us. When we think of guerilla marketing, we think of the people behind the scenes–the boots on the ground sneaking around to put media where it shouldn’t be. In the end, pointing attention to the outlaws behind the camera provided our original photography gallery with a little added gumption.

Denison Yachting


Denison Yachting
Denison Yachting is an established and prominent brand in the international maritime arena. The Denison family got their start acquiring, remodeling, and selling luxury yachts in 1948. Over the decades their brand has grown immensely. Their mission and vision are more expansive than ever before. They are tapping into new markets, expanding their sales team, and dominating marinas on both the east and west coasts of the United States.
Though their legacy is deeply rooted in the industry, newly emerging consumers may not realize their prestige. To safeguard their brand’s image and keep pace with an ever-changing market, they chose to produce new, high-quality content. In today’s marketing landscape, content rules at the top of the food chain. And at its peak is storytelling.
The leadership team at Denison Yachting came to us to create a lifestyle branding video that portrayed their core values – a video that would demonstrate their love for boating and the sensation of being out on the open seas.
This is their story.

The Challenge
Pier Sixty-Six has been a beacon of Fort Lauderdale for over 50 years. In a way, it is synonymous with the local, beach-centric lifestyle. Because of this, we had to celebrate the past in order to successfully point towards the future. This was very important as some locals feel that ongoing development may dilute Fort Lauderdale’s rich heritage. Tavistock Development company thinks differently. That is what we needed to show our audience.
Tavistock Development Company truly believes that no memories of the Pier Sixty-Six will be lost with the restoration. Rather, new memories will be created – valuable memories that will be cherished by future generations just as we are doing so today.
Our message is this:
“Welcome the History. Welcome the Future. Welcome Home.”

Grycon: Nova Southeastern University

Grycon
Nova Southeastern University
Grycon is one of the premier builders in Fort Lauderdale, and they recently constructed a beautiful gym at Nova Southeastern University. We were excited to get out there and get some evening shots, as well as some drone shots of the gym. These images show off the pristine construction of the building, but if you show up any normal day of the week, you’ll find it packed with students working out and improving their fitness.
The Manor

Engler Financial Group
The Manor Promotional Campaign
Our drone got quite the workout on this shoot. Commissioned by Engler Financial Group to showcase The Manor Luxury Apartments — one of their newest properties — and the desirable Fort Lauderdale landscape, we took to the skies for some top notch aerial and architectural views.
Back on the ground, we set out to capture the luxurious interiors and lavish amenities these apartments have.

Ranger Technical Resources

Ranger Technical Resources
Ranger Good Works
Ranger Good Works is a nonprofit charity associated with Ranger Technical Resources in Fort Lauderdale. Their mission is to close the education gap separating school districts.
How do they achieve this? By supporting underfunded institutions across South Florida “through community outreach, donations, volunteering, technology distribution, marketing efforts, software services, and connections.”
RESULTS
Technology and Proficiency
Computer coding is a present-day skill, designed for the future.
We live in a Digital Age, and our education system needs to participate in this.
Computer technologies are a requirement for standard education, today. Students without access to computer technologies are more likely to fall behind their peers in testing and reading proficiency. But we have to realize that…


RESULTS
Not every school is funded equally.
Technology is expensive. In some areas, it is hard to justify spending on computers when other, more immediate expenses need to be addressed (like school lunches). Computers (a whole classroom’s full, to be exact) are just not in every school’s budget.
Unfortunately, it is the children who suffer these shortcomings.
Ranger Good Works recognizes this. They support the community by supplying underfunded schools with great learning materials. They believe that every child deserves an equal education… and they’re right.
Community Partners – C&I Studios and Ranger Good Works
RESULTS
The Hour of Code
The Hour of Code is an international initiative that promotes the importance of computer science in young learners.
We joined Ranger Good Works and a sea of volunteers to provide exciting, challenging learning opportunities for over 800 deserving kids at Dillard Elementary because we, too, believe that effective community outreach serves to empower individuals and groups.
Volunteering our marketing services meant helping Ranger Good Works fulfill their mission for the community. It was a no-brainer. Providing the means for disadvantaged youth to overcome present and future obstacles was a great honor.




Land Rover UK Savage Defender
SAVAGE DEFENDER

Land Rover
UK Savage Defender
Savage Defender brings the USA the beautiful Land Rover Defender. This was incredible to make and be a part of.
We hosted a Defender inside the studio during New Years in honor of its USA debut. This machine drips power and sex appeal, so we made a video to match its characteristics and show off the details of the interior and exterior of the vehicle.
The time lapse within the video was the actual New Years “Lets Get Weird” event we held with the Defender as the centerpiece.
Helium Creative

Helium Creative
Helium Creative is a design agency that we have worked with in the past. We’re actually neighbors here in FAT Village, so getting asked to be behind the camera for this project was very special to us.
We love creativity in the workplace and so does Helium Creative, which made filming their company profile all the fun we could have imagined it would be.
We love it when we get the opportunity to work with other local art communities that strive impact our community in the same way we do.
We firmly believe that we should solidify and fortify bonds with companies who are trying to achieve our same dreams and desires.
It is our belief that community comes before all, and the work we’ve been able to do with Helium Creative is the perfect example of the creative juggernaut our community continues to become.


Bradford Marine


Bradford Marine Yacht Sales: Jade Mary
Fort Lauderdale has always been a hub for yachting in South Florida. As such, nautical sports have always been an integral part of the community, and Bradford Marine Yacht Sales has been a staple name within the industry.
Today, the Bradford Marine Companies are renowned for their sales, charter services, as well as their full refit and repair services.
They recently approached us about developing a spot for their vessel: the Jade Mary.
We wanted to present how sleek, fast, and classy the boat is without losing its quintessence in translation.

Day By Day
Having produced thousands of videos for an array of purposes over the years, we have our finger on the pulse of media creation that is unlike your typical marketing agency. So, a request for a “viral video,” while it may seem difficult to execute, was a welcome challenge for our team of craftsmen.
What really turned up the heat was the fact that we had a single day to produce both the one-minute spot and shoot crisp product photography. We were excited to take on the challenge and proud of the solution we conceived.
In the end, we cut a hilarious video that achieved the client’s goals. The commercial has over 3 million views and counting, entirely positive feedback, and you might just see it on your next JetBlue flight.




















We created a gallery of crisp lifestyle photography to support ongoing marketing initiatives revolving around GhostPillow’s new viral video content.
Tapping into certain distribution channels was an essential factor in the pursuit of viral success. We could not simply air GhostBed’s new video on cable television, Amazon, social media platforms and so on. We had to broaden our scope. So, we secured ad space on JetBlue and American Airlines. This not only positioned our content for immediate success, but it also broadened our viewership, essentially putting our commercial front-and-center for a wider range of audiences stemming across very unique demographics. We also thought the ad placement pretty clever as it would resonate more strongly than if the viewer had seen it while chilling on their sofa. Airplanes aren’t really known for their comfort, after all.
California Cowboy

Video Production & Photography
We worked on tight timelines. So, we included both our video and photography departments on the first media days. We split up, filming instructional videos in one warehouse and photographing website content in another. During this time our marketing and web development teams collaborated to design, build and populate a new website in a month.
During our deep-dive into the brand, we decided that the best way to portray CarOffer was through moody, dimly lit media. Given that the brands in the used car industry, especially dealerships, use bright colors and sterile photography, we chose to flip the script. We needed the CarOffer image to dominate the visual field just as their software was expected to dominate the industry.

Calligaris
Stills To Catch The Eye
Our goal—as per the needs of our client—was to create thumbnail images that were as clear as they were competitive. They would be a customer’s first impression after all. Therefor they had to be unapologetic—frank in their visual aspect. They had to act as a hook, something to catch the eye of the client, and draw it away from the tough competition.
These images are extremely effective in their intended purpose. They show the detail down to the last fleck of woodgrain on a bouffant door, the gleam of chrome on the feet of an end table, or the matte-textured surface of a pure white coffee table.
The Shoot
Calligaris wanted to shoot a number of high-end tables positioned before a pure white background. Because thumbnails online are often small and difficult to discern, it was important that these instructions be followed to the letter.
But their concern was: would C&I have a white backdrop large enough?
Thankfully, our spacious studio in Fort Lauderdale was more than sufficient to host the items Calligaris brought in as the subjects for our shoot. And the white backdrop we unfurled blew their expectations out of the water. It was just one of many options we had in store, but true to our client’s requests, we stuck with the tried and tested white.
In all, the project took just under two days. It was done on the Monstro, our reliable, high-end RED camera with a 35.4 Megapixel CMOS Sensor and 8K quality.
The trained eyes of both our production crew and our creative team mitigated the need for arduous edits in the end. And though color-grading is a necessity whenever it comes to finalizing our end products, these images were already next to perfect by the time the initial shoot had come to an end.
Nevertheless, our talented editors rendered these images on Photoshop until they were as true to the real product as possible. And by the time we delivered them to our grinning client, they possessed a clarity and a sharpness that was striking, if not downright magnetic.
