Month: June 2023

When Blackhawk Tires approached us to discuss content opportunities, we honed in on their sponsorship of Bellator MMA as an avenue to create some truly engaging video work. After several months of planning, we were granted exclusive behind-the-scenes access to a Bellator event to interview MMA legend Burt Watson and follow him during the week leading up to a Bellator fight.

Along the way, we also interview key figures at Bellator and profiled some of the staff working tirelessly to put on the live events. This project marked a significant departure from our usual brand of content, but we embraced the challenge and would love to expand into similar work in the future.

For this project, we worked with ATV.com editor Lucas Cooney to produce an exciting adventure video for Utah Tourism, promoting the stunning natural beauty and endless off-road trails that the state has to offer. The tourism board hooked us up with the folks at Ticaboo Lodge, which became our base of operations around the New Lake Powell area.

The trails out there provided some truly unbelievable vistas, and it was difficult to know what to shoot first. It was even more difficult to stop shooting, as every corner seemed to provide a better and better view. We used every tool at our disposal to capture our surroundings, but to get a true sense of what Utah has to offer, you simply have to see it for yourself!

In a change of pace for us, we were tasked with creating walkaround content for 3 of Kia’s new vehicles – all at an interior location, and all during the 2023 Canadian Auto Show.

Shooting exciting footage at an interior location is a challenge in and of itself, but we would also be contending with the crowds of journalists, workers, and onlookers during our shots. In the end, we negotiated a night shoot that allowed us to avoid the worst of the crowds, and then worked closely with the exhibition hall to allow us to film FPV drone footage of the Kia booth. We then hired a great bilingual host in Juliette Louie, and delivered 3 dynamic videos that showcase the Seltos, Niro EV, and the EV6 GT and all the best features they have to offer!
