Gates’ Family Story: Leaving a Legacy – Sun Valley Community Church

2018-09-17T12:14:46+00:00

In preparing to capture this story, I went on Facebook to see what more I could learn about Butch Gates and his family. In doing so, I found a video posted by one of his children that was captured from his memorial service a few months ago.

As I sat at my desk and watched his memorial service, tears streamed down my face. I listened to his children share about a father who loved them passionately and made them his first priority. I heard about a man who knew his […]

How Long Should My Videos Be?

2018-09-17T12:14:46+00:00

video on my website?

A while back, a couple had booked us to capture their wedding so we were getting to know them better. I’ll never forget the conversation I had with the groom after asking him about proposing to his fiance. He told me he had created a video to use during the proposal. The moment he asked his girlfriend to watch it (who of course didn’t know he was about to propose to her), she told him she would only watch it because it was short.

I share this story because even though these two were in love, the girlfriend would have refused to watch a long video in […]

Do I Need Video On My Website?

2018-09-17T12:14:46+00:00

video on my website?

Video is a powerful tool. And the truth is, if you currently do not have video on your website, you need it on your website immediately, like yesterday.

Text content is what the Internet was originally built on, and it used to be sufficient. However, the Internet and culture of the Internet has changed.

People now want quick. They want engaging. They want visually stimulating.

They don’t want long pages of black text on a white background.

Video accomplishes these needs.

Video has the ability to keep users engaged and share information is a very quick manner. It has the ability to show your brand personality, and allow the user to experience your product or service in […]

Vimeo, YouTube or Facebook?

There are many platforms available to post your video to, and it can be overwhelming to know which one is the best for your application.

Is Online Video Growing?

Is online video growing header

Go to Facebook. Right now. Whether on your phone or on your computer. Once it opens, begin scrolling through your feed, and count how long it takes you to encounter a video. Most likely, within 5 seconds, you will scroll over a video. For me, I didn’t even have to scroll. The second item in my feed was a video.

It is incredible the rate at which online video is growing.

Cisco predicts that by 2017, video will make up over 69% of online traffic. According to eMarketer, consumers spent an average of 5.5 hours in front a screen watching video of some sort every day in 2015. Almost 25% of […]

“Social video generates 1200% more shares than text and images combined.” – Brightcove

Video has long been thought of as a ‘unique’ feature for a website, something left to those with large budgets, or even a technique that has been segmented to just TV. While video has been around for a long time, it has gained incredible momentum over recent years in the digital realm.

Video used in social media gets 1200% more shares than text and images combined? That is an incredible statistic, and it shows the impact that video has in today’s society.

USA Today recently reported that Facebook has an average of 8 billion daily video […]

Sony A7s Mark II – Color Grade Test

2018-09-17T12:14:47+00:00

One of the things we love most about living in Arizona are the beautiful hiking trails only a short drive from our home. So a few weeks ago after recently purchasing two Sony A7s II cameras, we decided to hike the Peralta trail at the Superstition Mountains and of course had to test out the new gear. When we reached the saddle overlooking Weaver’s needle, we took a break from the heat and rested in the shade for a bit. After a while, we noticed this cute guy, whom I call […]

Nicolas’ Story – Sun Valley Community Church & Canyon State Academy

2018-09-17T12:14:47+00:00

When Nicolas walked into the chapel the day of our video shoot, I was impressed at how he carried himself and how he looked me in the eyes as we talked. I knew enough of his story to know he had a really rough childhood, so I started with asking him questions about Canyon State Academy and what he loves about being there. He lit up as he shared about his passion for horses and becoming a barber.

Sula Studios Rebrand

I’ve been producing videos since I was 16 – no joke. I was privileged to go to a high school where they had an amazing media production program, with arguably the best teacher too. Ken Keene was the sort of teacher that made each student believe they were capable of doing great things. He is an artist at heart and taught us how to focus on our work as if we were artists creating a masterpiece.

After my first class with Mr. Keene, I was hooked and ended up taking every media production class available. At some point, Mr. Keene encouraged me to enter two national film competitions. When I won first place at […]
