Cincinnati Video Production | Roof Construction

One of our favorite things about the video production industry is the fact that every day we are working with an extremely wide range of companies. We work with companies ranging from top fortune 500 companies all the way to local coffee shops, spanning almost every industry out there. Construction, or more specifically, roofing construction is one area that we recently started shooting a lot of videos for. Roofing construction is a particularly challenging industry to promote, as most people are used to sleazy salesmen who are part of fly-by-night companies who don’t keep their promises. The team at Shake Guys is anything but this, they hold themselves to impossibly high standards, yet always over deliver. I would trust them with my own home, and I was happy to create a long series of marketing videos to help them expand their business.

On set for a Non-Profit Video Production

This October, Cinevita Films spent a few weeks working with a local church by the name of Crossroads. We produced several dozen videos that were being used in a financial campaign to raise money to help the city of Cincinnati Ohio as well as struggling cities around the world. This series of videos included musical videos, teaching videos, testimony videos, interview videos, etc. We were honored to be a part of this video production and to see the change that will happen in our own city of Cincinnati as a result of this campaign.

Measuring the Analytics of Quality

Our team recently created a video for an agency who had been pitching for a $20 million chunk of business. They had been pitching for months without success. They were spending thousands of dollars flying their team to the potential clients offices trying desperately to communicate their vision. On a last ditch attempt, they contracted with Cinevita Films to produce a short video promoting their company and capabilities. They used this video in their next sales meeting and were able to have the confidence to close that $20 million dollar piece of business. What do you think their ROI was on that video?

On set for a Non Profit Promotional Video

In September we were hired to shoot a promotional video for a Non Profit Organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While Cinevita Films primarily offers video production services in Cincinnati Ohio, we frequently travel the country and world to work on a variety of projects with a variety of companies. Video has a unique power to communicate your brand and vision to potential customers, and the same holds true with non profits. Wether you are looking to spread the word about your organization or increase donations to your cause, video has a unique ability to effectively communicate your visions and create actionable results.

First Person Perspective | College Marketing

We were contracted to produce an video showing the experience of a college student. We wanted to go a step beyond and produce something that would really stand out in the crowd of college marketing. We decided to build a rig that would put the camera at eye level, which would allow us to capture a first person perspective of the hero student and their daily activities. While we may have looked completely ridiculous as we were filming, running around with a helmet camera, but in the end we and the client were pleased with the results.

Photography Promotional Video

Patrick and Brittany at Shelby Street Photography contracted with us to make them a photography promotional video. Patrick and Brittany are Cincinnati Wedding Photographers. We first made promotional video for them in early 2011. They wanted to revamp their promotional video with a new story that fit their new branding. Patrick found a great loft space that was undeveloped to give an artistic, organic feel to their interview. We wanted to add interest to their interview, so we used the motion control technique that we use on some of our other video productions. This is the same technique we used when filming for ABC’s Nashville, in a smaller scale.

This year has definitely been a rollercoaster of a variety of different video projects. This year we have produced anything form hospital tv commercials to plastic surgery promotional videos to promotional videos for Universities. We had the honor of working on the pilot of ABC’s new drama “Nashville”. We traveled more than we have ever traveled before. Overall, we are very thrilled with how this year has gone and we know that we have been very blessed. This short demo reel is just a quick compilation of some of the different shoots that we have done.

I was honored to get a call from Kessler Crane to head down to Nashville to help Rodney Charters with a motion control shot for ABC’s new drama “Nashville”. Rodney Charters has DP’d the series “24”, “Dallas”, “Shameless”, “Charlie’s Angels” and much more, so it was a huge honor to get to work with him.

Adding Camera Movement to Interviews

Featured on Kessler University

The Kessler Cineslider and Revolution Head is a very versatile system. Most people use this system for timelapses, but I’ve been using them mostly for live movements, and ever since I started using this motorized system, I never want to do any camera movements without it. Motorized movements are so much smoother and more precise than anything you can do by hand. Dolly shots have become way overused in the last few years, in my opinion, but what is very difficult is a subtle dolly. It amazes me how easy it is to create the perfect slow dolly move with this system.
