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.

Finn Partners | Get a Taste of Jamaica

Taste of Jamaica

19NH39 lights above the exit.

The South Beach Food and Wine Festival takes place in Miami every year. However, they are trying to take this culinary celebration international.  The first extension was planned for a Taste of Jamaica, so for this year’s food and wine festival featured Jamaican cuisine. The South Beach Food and Wine Festival invited Jamaica’s most famous chefs to take over the festival and treat guests to a night of Caribbean flavors. We were asked to film the event.

 

Our mission was to capture the spirit of Jamaica at the South Beach Food and Wine Festival. They wanted a video that you could almost get a taste of Jamaica in every shot. The magic and success of this video lie in the post-production editing work and our equipment. We used awesome RED cameras capable of filming stellar shots in low light. Our cameras and camera work really preserved the color and atmosphere of the event. During post-production, we used a quick editing style to capture the vibe and pace of the event. This is why the video is so lively as if you are actually there.

 

We pulled off some magic to capture this story and tell an accurate narrative of the life and energy of the South Beach Food and Wine Festival in Miami. Perhaps we will be invited to Taste of Jamaica by Finn Partners again to help tell the next chapter of this exciting culinary saga.

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.

Every city has its hidden culinary gems, but someone has to shine a light on them. Gold Coast Magazine has long been that spotlight for Fort Lauderdale’s vibrant dining scene. When they needed a fresh, compelling visual narrative for their annual “Best New Restaurants” feature, our team stepped in to capture the soul of each restaurant and the chefs who bring these dishes to life.

 

Restaurants are more than menus. They are the lifeblood of local communities and tourist destinations, crafted by people working long hours behind kitchen doors most guests never see. Our goal for Gold Coast Magazine was to photograph not just the food, but the atmosphere, the people, and the passion that make Fort Lauderdale’s culinary scene so rich and ever-changing.

Showcasing Fort Lauderdale’s Culinary Pulse

Gold Coast Magazine’s Best Restaurants and chef features capture Fort Lauderdale’s dining scene as it really feels right now. Our video and photos pull readers into these kitchens and dining rooms long before they ever sit down.

This kind of video production and photography keeps the story going long after the magazine hits the stands. It gives restaurants images that stay in people’s heads and push them to book a table at that place they’ve been meaning to try. Good visuals make people curious. And in the case of food photography, they also make them hungry.

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.
