Broadcast Trained.
Upstate SC Based.
A lot of agencies say they "do video." We come from broadcast. Members of our team have worked with NBC News, ESPN, and major regional media outlets — and we've spent more than 15 years applying that level of craft to commercial, corporate, and faith-based production. We're headquartered in Downtown Spartanburg, SC, which puts us at the center of the Upstate SC production market.
For businesses in Spartanburg, Greenville, and the Upstate South Carolina region, we're the local production resource with broadcast-level capability — not a Charlotte or Atlanta agency treating you as a secondary market. We travel regularly for projects throughout the Southeast: Asheville, Charlotte, Columbia, Charleston, Atlanta, and beyond.
We produce brand films, testimonial videos, training content, and commercial spots for businesses and organizations across the country. Our production team comes from broadcast — NBC News, ESPN, NBCUniversal, LTN Global Communications, and regional television — and we bring that level of craft and precision to every project, whether it's a national brand campaign or a single-location testimonial shoot.
A good brand film does more than look nice. It communicates something true about your organization and gives a prospective client or partner a reason to keep paying attention. We write, direct, shoot, and edit everything in-house.
We cover conferences, trade shows, award events, grand openings, and corporate productions. We can handle single-camera documentary-style coverage or multi-camera live production with real-time switching and broadcast-quality output.
For clients with ongoing events or multi-day productions, we can provide full crew, equipment, and post-production — or integrate with an existing AV team and provide oversight and direction. We've covered productions for clients including the State of South Carolina and regional broadcasters across the Southeast.
We partner with LiveU, Resi, Cloudflare, and AWS for high-stakes live streaming that requires professional-grade redundancy and reliability. Multi-camera production, professional broadcast cameras, fiber-optic connectivity, and live technical direction — built for events where quality and uptime aren't optional.
If your organization is serious about reaching a remote audience — whether that's a national investor audience, a congregation watching from home, or a virtual conference — we know how to build the production infrastructure that makes it work.
We shoot commercial photography for websites, marketing materials, advertising, and editorial use. That includes headshots, team photography, product photography, location and environmental shoots, and construction/real estate documentation.
Clients in construction and real estate use our photography for project portfolios and pre-bid presentations. Dental and medical practices use us for website and social media imagery. Whatever the application, we shoot with your final use in mind.
Our FAA-licensed drone operators provide aerial photography and videography for construction, real estate, events, and commercial projects. We're permitted to fly commercially and we know how to integrate aerial footage cleanly into larger production work.
We handle recording and production for clients who want a consistent, professional-sounding podcast without the overhead of managing it themselves. Remote production support or on-location recording — we handle the technical side so you can focus on the content.
A standard production day is eight hours plus a lunch break. The blended crew rate is $165/hr — videographer, photographer, and production manager — with production assistants at $85/hr. Overages bill by the hour, not in chunks, and every quote is fixed in writing before production begins.
Delivery runs through Latakoo, the same field-to-post pipeline used by major newsrooms, so footage moves from the shoot to the edit without a hard drive in the mail. Specialty rigs — jib, gimbal, technocrane — get sourced and passed through transparently when the shot calls for them.

A Production Day, Hour by Hour
A real day, start to strike. It's the reason clients tell us their first shoot with us felt different from every other shoot they've done.
7:30 AM
Crew call
Truck unload, power runs, audio bench-test, camera build-up. The production manager confirms the day's shot list with you over coffee.
8:00 AM
Lighting & first setup
Talent in the chair for mic and frame. We solve problems on the bench, not on the clock.
9:00 AM
First block rolling
Multiple takes, coverage, and pickups before we move on. Director and DP work shot by shot so post has options.
12:00 PM
Lunch
Off the clock for the crew, a real break for talent. The back half of the day runs better when nobody's on fumes.
1:00 PM
Second block
B-roll, additional setups, photo coverage if it's a hybrid day. The afternoon is where we make up time if the morning ran long.
4:30 PM
Last looks
Pickup shots, anything flagged earlier, and a verbal walk-through of what we got before strike.
5:30 PM
Strike & wrap
Gear back in cases, location returned to how we found it. A production wrap report lands in your inbox before we drive home.

Brand films, testimonial videos, commercial photography, drone aerial, event coverage, training content, and podcast production. We also handle live streaming for corporate events, conferences, and faith-based organizations.

Yes. We regularly travel throughout the Southeast for production projects — across South and North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and beyond. Travel costs are scoped upfront so there are no surprises.
Absolutely. For larger events or organizations with in-house AV staff, we can provide crew, equipment, and production oversight — integrating with your existing setup rather than replacing it.
A well-produced brand film typically runs $3,000–$12,000 depending on scope, crew size, locations, and post-production complexity. We scope every project in writing before a dollar is spent and we don't pad budgets with unnecessary days or crew. You know exactly what you're getting before we start.
Members of our production team have worked professionally in broadcast television — NBC News, ESPN, and regional TV news outlets across the South. That background isn't just a credential. It changes how we approach logistics, storytelling, shot selection, and pacing. The difference shows up on screen.
Yes. Our FAA-licensed drone team provides aerial photography and videography for real estate, construction documentation, events, and marketing content. We handle permitting and airspace coordination as part of the engagement.
Yes — we're based in Downtown Spartanburg and serve businesses across Upstate South Carolina as our primary market. That includes Spartanburg, Greenville, Gaffney, Union, Greer, Boiling Springs, and all points between. We're not a remote agency that happens to take SC projects — this is where we live and work.
Yes. Spartanburg and Greenville are our home markets — we produce brand films, commercial photography, event coverage, and drone aerial work here regularly. We know the locations, the light, the venues, and the local business community. That local knowledge makes production more efficient and the results more authentic.
