Lincoln Cars: MKC & MKZ

Lincoln Cars: MKC & MKZ

Lincoln came to us for help with talent, production, location, etc. for these two separate commercials about two different cars aimed towards opposite demographics.

 

This shoot was the first time we have ever used a car mount for our cameras in order to get the angles we wanted. You can see one of our staff members assembling the mount in the behind-the-scenes photos below!

 

The shoot took two days to complete and included a casting call and location scouting (we finally settled on three separate locations). The commercials are themed around a date night that Lincoln set up by allowing people to sign up for.

 

The two couples were able to use the cars for the evening and Lincoln paid for their dates! We thought this was a pretty neat concept for advertising both cars and date nights.

Blu Pledge World Campaign

When Blu wanted to take their pledge drive global they knew that our team would get the job done. We travel internationally for our clients all the time, so we were a good fit for the role. We weren’t just there to set up our gear and record for them. No, we were there to inspire storytelling. So, off we went to Africa, Hawaii, New York City, and beyond to bring Blu’s pledge drive to life.

 

Part of the challenge here was making sure dozens of pledge drive videos came together to tell one cohesive story. Yes, we wanted each episode to stand independently and transmit their own inspiration, but it was super important that they built off one another and became a series. This was vital to the success of the campaign.

 

The sheer scale of this production was only half the battle. Not only did we need to travel from state to state, country to country, and interview musicians, artists, models, athletes and entrepreneurs, but we needed to make it feel natural. Each location needed to breathe life into the production just as each subject’s story needed to inspire the viewer to take action and make a pledge of their own.

 

We had tons of fun creating this series. Below are a few of our favorite episodes so you can see the lengths we went to deliver Blu a series that would deliver on their business goals. The Blu Pledge World series received a ton of positive feedback from reporters and industry professionals.

 

In the end, we showed people around the world how to embark on life-changing journeys and how to embrace rich experiences no matter where they are in life.

This is a video detailing the tools made available by Citrix Systems and how useful they can really be. In the video, we cover the partnership held between Citrix and Shelton Public Schools.

 

Programs like XenApp and XenDesktop have revolutionized what students and teachers interact with each other by allowing them access to resources at a more cost efficient rate.

 

Students come from all kinds of backgrounds and with the help of Citrix, now lower income families can more easily access the needed programs from whatever device they have at their disposal.

Gold Coast Magazine
Boxer Chasity Martin

When our friends at Gold Coast Magazine asked us if we could get some shots of local pro boxer Chasity Martin, we were more than pumped. They were working on an article about this tough woman, and they wanted to feature some photos that would capture her working out with her trainer, as well as a behind the scenes video and brief interview with Chasity.

 

What we love most about these shots are how they capture the extreme dedication she has to her sport. Her success comes from raw talent, and mostly a lot of hard work. The variety of training methods that we documented really complemented Gold Coast’s article, and the BTS video does a great job of providing a teaser to the incredible story of how she arrived to where she is today.

 

It’s always an honor to work with Gold Coast, one of the longest-running city magazine companies in Florida. And Chasity: we are pulling for you—go and make us proud!

Love, Abbey

Abbey Loren is the vocalist and multi-instrumental mind behind the Fort Lauderdale born music project Love, Abbey.

 

The music Love, Abbey creates somewhere between ethereal indie rock complete with woodsy orchestral notes reminiscent of log cabins and the smell of pine with morning mountain dew.

 

Loren is mused by the search for a sense of authenticity in the music industry by way of the tools within her reach.

 

Abbey has recorded and produced her upcoming EP with us at The Barn @ C&I in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

 

Below, is the official music video for her single Lost at Sea, which was recorded during her time recording with us.

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.

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.

TAYLOR ADAIR

This is part of a couple of advertising campaigns we worked on for Taylor Adair Swim, a brand of hand crafted swimwear made locally in South Florida.

 

We took the shoot to the beach and captured several shots during the day to show the multifaceted nature of the brand as well as the unique magic that only exists in our South Florida beaches.

 

We wanted the campaigns to be cohesive and seamless with one another. We wanted to show the different aspects of the garments with differing sides of the beach. The idea is to present with a video a particular point of view.

 

Taylor Adair prides themselves in having a multifaceted brand with looks for every occasion and every personality. By handcrafting each suit they make, they manage to really make every piece its own.

Aymber

Sometimes the most beautiful things surge from the ugliest circumstances. Back in 2012 after losing her job, Aymber picked up a guitar in hopes of using the instrument as a channel for her thoughts and emotions.

 

Four years later, and she’s goin’ harder than ever before. Her witty lyrics married with her catchy melodies propel the sounds strumming off her guitar to burrow deep in your brain making the o’l machine start chugging again.

 

Easy is the title track off freshman EP.

Washa Live @ C&I Studios

We did this music video for Washa an independent artist out of Fort Lauderdale. With the idea in mind that inspiration lives to evoke emotion from the depths of the heart and bring to light what may be hidden deep below the surface, we decided to take a slightly different approach with this shoot.

 

As part of our Live @ C&I concert series, we originally planned to set up in front of our white backdrop and film Washa play as we usually would. We thought, however, that this song might benefit from a different approach.

 

In order to fortify the feeling behind the song, we decided to create a gloomier setting, creating a more mysterious ambiance. We think that people need a little bit of guidance when it comes to the heart, and working with artists like Washa helps us do just that.

Gold Coast Magazine: Best New Restaurants

GULF STREAM MEDIA
BEST NEW RESTAURANTS

Our friends at Gulf Stream Media are frequent collaborators with us when it comes to their editorials. We have worked closely with them for a number of projects featured in their Gold Coast Magazine.

 

Below are a couple of projects we have helped them shoot.

 

The first showcases their picks for a “Best New Restaurants” article featured in Fort Lauderdale Magazine, Gold Coast Magazine, and Boca Life Magazine. We got to photograph restaurants such as The Grove, Grille 401, Thasos Greek Taverna, and The Foxy Brown among others.

 

We also, more recently, got to shoot an editorial for Gold Coast Magazine centered around chefs on the rise around Fort Lauderdale. This project was more focused on the specific people pulling the strings in the kitchen and less on the establishments that front them.

 

As part of Gold Coast Magazine’s foodie issue, they like to focus in on exalting culinary individuals that are making the service industry flourish in Fort Lauderdale daily.
