JEEPNEY NYC

Cultivating Joy

We had great fun working with this client. There was an instant camaraderie felt between our creative team, our production crew, and the lovely grinning woman featured in the video. Passionate people, creative people, they often gravitate toward one another, and this situation was no exception.

And while we are dead serious about what we do here at C&I Studios, and handle our work with a font of measured consideration that inevitably leads us to good outcomes, we do know how to have a good time.

Nicole Ponseca, the Co-owner and Creative Director of Jeepney in New York—the chef seen on screen—was a pleasure to meet and direct. Our shared joy and passions for doing the things we do—the founding and creative-directing of multiple culinary ventures for Ponseca, and for us the producing of quality film content—made for an absolutely delightful shooting experience.

It is no surprise, really, that the enjoyment we cultivated during the brief time we spent together on this project, translated so clearly onto screen.

For us, work isn’t work; it’s passion. And what better way to make art than by cultivating joy and capturing it on film?

By Hand

Jeepney, a Filipino Gastropub located in the heart of New York City’s ever-trendy East Village, is the brainchild of Nicole Ponseca and her business partner Miguel Trinidad. It is the second restaurant they’ve founded together, and stands as the brother restaurant to Makarlika Filipino Moderno.

Jeepney was named after the WWII jeeps left behind by US occupation. And as a Filipino-American restauranteur, Ponseca’s vision was to integrate Kamayan-style dining with a western feel. The term Kamayan is a Tagalog word which, in English, translates to “by-hand,” and refers, of course, to the traditional Filipino style of eating. It encompasses community, and involves neither plates nor utensils.

We used this literal translation as the basis of our shoot and the compass for our own creative direction.

Focus On The Details

We wanted to capture the preparation of a signature dish of Jeepney’s, a fusion-style meatless burger. And in doing so, we wanted to hone our focus in on the details of that preparation.

To see the flame flaring up form an oil spray. The vinaigrette mixing with a beetroot slaw. The fizzing of a deep-fryer as french-fries are being prepared. And of course, capturing Nicole Ponseca’s look of concentration as she artfully assembles the ingredients into a burger of mouth-watering proportions. The anticipation on her face as she considers the burger in her hand. The blatant pleasure in her smile. All of these things made clear what the restaurant was about; what their brand is; and what Ponseca, along with her business partner, have fostered as an environment and culinary experience.

To capture all of these things using the laser-sharp lenses of our RED Monstro and Dragon cameras, that was our mission. And a smooth one it turned out to be. Especially considering the fun we had. And the ease with which our expert crew handle their equipment never fails to mitigate our stress levels. Which, once again, left plenty of room for fun in the creative process.

All in all, this was one of the most enjoyable projects we’ve worked on. You can’t help but feel that joy emanating from the screen when you view the final product.

Stills In Motion

We played with pull-focus techniques in order to give this video more depth. The effect creates a quality of style that is slick as well as eye-catching. It narrows the viewer’s focus toward the intended subject—or away from it, depending on the scenario. In this case, it really helped us to accentuate the bold colors of the food and the thoughtful way it was being prepared.

These images, caught in motion with our RED 8k camera systems, made for some high-quality stills which our client was thrilled about.

Brand Storytelling That Connects

It’s not just what you say—it’s how you make people feel. At the heart of our work with Pier Sixty-Six was a signature brand video designed to evoke emotion and elevate identity. More than just a highlight reel, this piece was crafted to make viewers feel the pride, purpose, and passion behind the Pier Sixty-Six experience.

 

Our post-production editing team considers everything. The pacing of the edit, the music, voice, visual tone, and everything in between was carefully considered to reflect Pier Sixty-Six’s legacy and forward-thinking vision. We focused on human connection, capturing the energy of the team and the spirit of the brand in a way that invites the audience to be part of the story.

Authentic Stories, Tailored for Vertical Screens

As part of our collaboration with Pier Sixty-Six, we created a series of 9×16 testimonial-style videos featuring team members speaking candidly about the brand’s impact and culture. Shot on-site during a company event, we captured unscripted, heartfelt moments that highlighted the human side of the Pier Sixty-Six story. Our team handled every step—from setting up an intimate, well-lit interview space to directing talent for natural delivery. In post-production, we cut multiple vertical edits optimized for social media platforms, ensuring each video was sharp, emotionally resonant, and platform-ready. The result: a collection of short-form videos that feel personal, polished, and perfectly aligned with Pier Sixty-Six’s brand voice, three of which you can view below.

Human-Centered Production with Impact

Behind every great brand is a great team. Our work with Pier Sixty-Six showcases how intentional production can humanize a brand, celebrate its people, and leave a lasting impression. Visual storytelling that goes beyond marketing and truly connects. When every frame is crafted with purpose, your message doesn’t just land—it inspires. Let us bring that same level of care and creativity to your next brand project—contact us to start the conversation.

High end real estate listings require media that reflects the quality of their properties. From commercials and ads to social media and web content, it’s important to create visuals that attract buyers and sellers alike. When Trust Larry Real Estate contacted us looking for gorgeous video and photo content to sell a high value property, we knew our team was up for the challenge. Our crew created a stunning video tour of the home that highlighted all its best features, from the beautiful views to its luxurious interior design. We also produced detailed photos of every room in the house that perfectly captured the beauty and elegance of each space. With our help, Trust Larry Real Estate successfully sold their property in no time.

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.

EVERGLADES HOLIDAY PARK

Everglades Holiday Park is a wildlife education and entertainment experience in the Florida Everglades.

The mission of the park is to protect Florida’s most prized ecosystem while educating and exciting guests from all around the world through immersive activities, wildlife shows, interviews, and more.

 

When we first started working with Everglades Holiday Park, they were working to build authority in their profession and establish their name among the top wildlife parks in the region. With these business goals in mind, we created and executed annual marketing strategies designed to showcase their unique involvement with local wildlife, the guest experience, their attention to environmental stewardship and preservation, and the vibrant personalities that create such a welcoming and memorable adventure.

 

To achieve these goals, we created a strategy that involved detailed social media marketing complete with monthly video production, graphic design, and photography. Our team planned Everglade Holiday Park’s social media campaigns and managed tens of thousands of engagements from all over the world.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

When we identified the impact that social media marketing would have on Everglades Holiday Park’s overall business strategy, we made this our number one priority. 

Our strategy focused on organic marketing and a playful menu of media content (video, graphic design, and photo) to drive user participation and followership. By treating Everglades Holiday Park’s social media as an extension of the guest experience, we were able to reengage social media users who had recently visited the park, as well as excite and pique the interests of users who lived in or were visiting Florida.

 

One of the key elements in the overall strategy was sharing fun and educational media to establish Everglades Holiday Park as a thought leader in wildlife preservation. This greatly increased audience participation on Instagram and Facebook and allowed us to discuss the function of the park and the involvement of the staff in more detail.

 

One of the great benefits of our strategy was the ability to teach Everglades Holiday Park’s audiences about the many areas in which they cater to the local environment. There is much more to the park than alligator shows and airboat tours. We chose to bring this to the very forefront of communication. Sharing fun and engaging content like this created the foundation for EHP’s online community, who regularly engage one another and act as brand ambassadors to the park.

THE GATOR BOYS (AND GAL)

The Gator Boys are the main attraction at Everglades Holiday Park.

There are often misconceptions associated with alligators. Many people who have never interacted with them fear them because they simply don’t understand their nature.

 

The Gator Boys seek to change the public’s perception and to teach Florida locals and visitors not to fear alligators but to respect them and their environment. Their shows are a balancing act between adventure, suspense, and education. Daring maneuvers are performed with live alligators to show the majesty of these creatures and to teach the general public more about them.

 

Once The Gator Boys became the face of the park, we chose to keep them at the forefront of EHP’s social media. Over time, as their reputation became more widespread and the content associated with them increased in popularity, we were able to incorporate more species of wildlife into the content structure, such as information about snakes, birds, and mammals.

TEASING THE LIVE SHOWS

Everglades Holiday Park interacts with a massive community through social media. Many of their most loyal audience members have visited their park, but there are a ton of people who are following their accounts that have yet to visit. These consumers are still in the consideration phase of EHP’s marketing funnel, so sharing content that will appeal to and interest them is a major focus in our overall strategy. To convert these warm leads, we often share sneak previews of the live gator shows performed by The Gator Boys. This type of content leads to a few different outcomes, which are crucial for driving sales: 1) it sparks conversations amongst our followers, who in turn advocate on behalf of EHP; 2) it encourages warm leads to seek out additional information about the park or book tickets outright; 3) it helps to reinforce the love our online community has for the brand; 4) it increases the recognition of The Gator Boys (essentially bolstering the power of this marketing funnel).

 

Below are some of the snapshots we’ve shared on social media to keep The Gator Boys in the limelight and to help increase foot traffic to the park and loyalty amongst our most dedicated fanbase.

THE EVEGLATORS

Everglades Holiday Park has a diverse online following, but, as you would expect, many of their followers are younger. To appeal to EHP’s younger following, we created goofy comics that personified their mascot. These comics received a ton of engagement and were essential in showing the family-friendly atmosphere and lighthearted personality signature to the park.

CREATING VIRAL CONTENT

We grew Everglades Holiday Park’s Instagram to over 50k followers since taking over.

Our success can be attributed to the type of content we shared with their audience. In addition to the educational content featuring The Gator Boys and other staff, we included goofy media that coincided with seasonal themes and social themes to give our audience more reason to follow EHP’s account.

 

These were often done through graphic design and leaned heavily on pop culture and cult fiction. 

 

These messaging segments greatly increased user participation, raising engagement across the board. With more likes and comments on every post, we had a rare opportunity to create hilarious graphics and videos. Ultimately, this new collection of media showed EHP’s audience that the guest experience was enjoyable for adventurers of all ages and that EHP offered a totally unique journey through the Florida Everglades.

 

All in all, the inclusion of this media provided our audience playful breaks between realistic media, which helped diversity our content structure and the type of engagement we received from our audience.

THE GUEST EXPERIENCE

Another significant focus in our content structure was showcasing the guest experience. 

This type of content was purposed to encourage user participation in social media. By showcasing the guest experience, we found that users were more likely to comment on our social media content and share their adventures with the community. Not only did this increase traffic to Everglades Holiday Park, but it also helped to market their attractions, like airboat tours, the petting zoo, and gator shows.

 

The involvement we received from EHP’s audience also helped with our online customer service. With tens of thousands of questions and comments to answer weekly, having users answer guest inquiries became a major advantage.

 

This level of community building also aided in increasing the amount of 5-star Google and Yelp! reviews, which led to EHP ranking higher on Google.

Below are some examples of the media we created to showcase some fan favorites, like airboat tours, wildlife encounters, and EHP’s beloved petting zoo.

W Fort Lauderdale

W Fort Lauderdale presents a daring vision for beach-front luxury.

Infusing ocean views and the energized spirit of W fashion, design, fuel, and music with exclusive hotel experiences and waterside residences.

“We live in the here and now, and so does our voice. It’s bold and bright, irreverent and outspoken, tuned in and turned up. More playful than provocative, we find the wit at the moment and embrace the unexpected. Relaxed and casual, we know who we are and don’t have to prove it.”

– W Fort Lauderdale

The W Voice Is...
The Purpose

W Fort Lauderdale – a Marriott Brand – came to us to redefine the lifestyle marketing of two of their brands:

W Hotel – an energetic beachside hotel that pairs bold attitudes and exclusive amenities with a vibrant social scene to provide a tropical escape from the ordinary.

 

W Residences – a luxury beachside residential complex attached to W Fort Lauderdale Hotel, where oceanfront living is reimagined by melding exclusive vacation amenities and the outgoing W personality with sun-kissed beaches and breathtaking ocean scenery.

In this, we created a lifestyle branding campaign that joined the best elements from each brand, delivering playful, evergreen media to each specific audiences in a style unique to their expectations, desires, and fascinations.

The Challenge

W Fort Lauderdale Hotel and Residences converge on multiple marketing and lifestyle dimensions. Ironing out a clear distinction between the two required ultra-specific content. At first glance – from the consumers’ perspective – these two brands are practically identical. Consumers arrive at this generalization because W Hotel and W Residences share the same real estate, amenity-based experiences, and branding. Beneath the surface, however, they are radically unique. They vary based on factors as significant as their industry, marketable audiences, values, and tone of voice.

 

Another challenge was selling joint resort and regional experiences without diluting or devaluing one brand extension to benefit the other. This was made more difficult as a portion of the marketing direction involved portraying resort amenities, such as the restaurants Steak 954 and El Vez [which are not exclusive to either the residential complex or hotel resort] as being exclusive to both. We had to show the consumer that these amenities are provided by the W brand to improve the guests’/owners’ experience. To achieve this, we lightly applied W branding to these non-affiliated businesses, which connected them with our lifestyle marketing in a very positive way, ultimately leading to improved social media engagement and following, as well as increased hotel bookings and real estate interests. Contact us to discuss your marketing needs and learn how we can craft ultra-specific content for your brand.

Lifestyle Marketing

We started by establishing the lifestyle differences between W Hotel and W Residences. This was largely determined by their varying audiences. W Hotel appeals more strongly to young professionals, socialites, and disruptors – the enthusiastic partygoers eager to meet new people and see where the night goes. Whereas, W Residences’ market is more akin to successful, upper-class couples and singles, business professionals, seasonal residents and investors. Since both campaigns involved extensive social media marketing, creating content these audiences would familiarize with – content that would encourage them to take action – was essential for success.

Luxurious rooms facing the Atlantic Ocean are just one reason to stay in bed. With the beach-centric design of W Hotel and the seaside luxury of W Residences, there really is no reason to leave.

At W Hotel, living in the moment – living loudly and unapologetically – is the lifestyle. Here, you are whoever you feel like being. Our audience isn’t afraid to disrupt the status quo – to feel sexy and act on it.

We showcased this freedom and lust for life by using one model to demonstrate various personality types. We wanted to show our audience that no matter who they think they are or how they typically socialize, at the W Hotel they can embody any personality, style, and confidence.

At W Residences, beachfront living reimagined is the lifestyle. Here, you have a place to call home – an oasis to relax, a landscape to explore, a community to embrace. Our audience knows what they want in a luxury beachside condo. Our goal was to show them how much more enjoyable life is at W Residences.

We showcased this unrivaled beachside address by highlighting all-inclusive conveniences and showcasing the edgy aesthetic of the residential complex. In that, we showed our audience that W Residences is more than just a place to call home – it’s a place to enjoy life.

Waterside Luxury

After establishing the lifestyle differences between W Fort Lauderdale Hotel and W Hotel fort lauderdale Residences we fine-tuned our portrayal of resort amenities and beachside location to capture the attention of these demographics and convert their interest into action. The W Hotel audience prefers to see real people enjoying their stay – how the exclusive resort amenities help them to escape the ordinary, own the moment, and live it up.

 

The W Residences audience, however, is more attracted to media that shows off the luxury of the space. In that, they prefer a more descriptive representation – content that shows what makes the space luxurious, how it is reserved exclusively for their enjoyment, and why it is unmatched by local competitors.

Furry-Friends Welcome

To deliver on their guests’ lifestyle expectations, W Fort Lauderdale Hotel and Residences open their doors to some unlikely guests: your pets. A pet-friendly hotel on Fort Lauderdale beach is a rare commodity given that the beach is not dog-friendly. This is one of the main instances where the two brands collaborate and use shared content in their marketing.

 

Our “doggie” marketing initiative was created to show W Hotel and W Residences audiences that their pets are not just welcome to stay at the W – they’re treated just like our most star-studded guests. Photographing an eclectic range of dogs in some of the most iconic spaces in the hotel and residential complex doing otherwise humanly things [like hanging out on the WET Deck] added a light-hearted tone to our marketing message. This ultimately improved the consumer-brand relationship.

Dining and Nightlife

This segment of branding required ultra-specific content. perhaps the most noticeable difference between the W Hotel Fort Lauderdale audience and the W Residences audience is the way they spend their time dining and socializing.

 

Given that the W Hotel Fort Lauderdale demographic is younger, as well as temporary guests, they are more attracted to content that shows-off the energetic social life at W Fort Lauderdale. This demographic wants to party throughout their stay. They want to enjoy the exclusive hotel offerings loudly and unapologetically.

 

The W Residences audience does not respond to this type of media. Rather, they prefer a more restrained representation of life at W Fort Lauderdale. They want to see that the restaurants and lounges on site are – in a way – reserved primarily for their enjoyment. Sure, they still like to socialize and mingle with hotel guests, but when it comes to marketing content, this demographic responds more favorably to content that shows what they are buying into.

The Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center

THE GAYLORD PALMS RESORT AND CONVENTION CENTER

The Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center is located in Kissimmee, Florida. Everything about this place is overwhelmingly beautiful.

 

From the moment we stepped in, the entire place paints the picture of being in a surreal, hidden haven. Strewn about the grounds, you’ll find signs guiding you to Key West, waterfalls, pathways lined with rocks; they even had alligators and a koi pond.

 

The colors and the layout are reminiscent of what Neverland could be. Throughout the grounds, you can find clandestine spots filled with trickling waterfalls, vegetation, and vintage decor.

 

The Gaylord Palms Resort and Convention Center, surpasses the bar for what a vacation should be, redefining the experience to something far more akin to an escape from reality.

The Project

OrganizeMe, a subdivision of Audy Global Enterprises, are a wholesale business that offers space-saving storage solutions for the home. What they needed from us was to devise a way to communicate accurately the elegant, stylish, and practical uses of their storage ottoman piece. They wanted us to highlight that, in the overcrowded ottoman market, theirs was the sturdiest, most stylish, and above all most efficient option available. We were eager and ready to oblige; all we needed was a concept. After acquainting ourselves with the product, our creative team, in collaboration with our client, began to brainstorm ideas. We created storyboards and conducted thorough research on the many uses of the product. We hired the talent, and picked out a location which we though worked best. And when we were happy with the overall concept, and had the go-ahead from the client, we primed the cameras and got to work doing what we do best: shooting.

Delivering a Physical Product

Audy Global are a multidisciplinary patent firm. They harness creative ideation to find solutions for their clients by converting thought into a physical product.

With over 20 years of experience in video production, we are well versed in the act of converting ideas into physical products—in this case, a series of high-quality videos produced for the purpose of marketing a product to a wide consumer base.

With a motive of showcasing the ottoman’s stylistic attributes alongside it’s multipurpose functionality, we decided to position the product in the center of an open-plan living space, so that our model could interact with the object with ease. This contemporary concept allowed for a multitude of shots, during which we were able to capture and hone-in upon the modern versatility of the product itself. And with meticulous lighting, and the physically demonstrative art of videography, we were able to shoot in such a way that would not only capture but correlate the versatility of the product to the models’ modern lifestyle. Whether it was the model relaxing back on the couch to rest her feet upon the ottoman, or slipping items in and out of the storage box underneath, we caught it all; the size and dimensions of the ottoman in relation to the surrounding space; the fabric, the function—down to the last detail. This crystal clear imagery caught with the lenses of our state-of-the-art camera systems.

Social Media Reach

Our objective was to produce a series of two high-quality videos that showcased the product and its efficiency-led purpose clearly. But true to our culture of fastidious hard work, we took it even further. C&I Studios’s RED camera systems are top-of-the-range and have the capacity to shoot cinematic motion-picture film. Which means that one single freeze-frame possesses the quality of an 8k sill photography shot. During the editing phase, we took it upon ourselves to lift snippets of additional imagery and repurpose them for Audy’s website, their social media channels, and other broadcasting needs. In the end, the client was thrilled; thanks to our us, they were able to highlight the value of their product on multiple marketing platforms. With plenty of content to choose from, they could to spread the word; enhancing their reach by marketing their product to a much broader client base.

Stills in Motion

Our equipment eliminated the need for double work, putting two services in one; we were able to capture stills in motion. This streamlined the entire production process and the stills we took from this shoot displayed exactly what the product was for: a multipurpose storage solution that will make your life simpler.
