Cedarville University hired us back in January to produce a series of 15 videos covering every department they offer. This was quite the undertaking. We interviewed nearly 120 students and professors and attended several classes and events for each different department. Here is an example of what each of those videos ended up looking like. Over the past few years Cinevita Films has produced hundreds of educational related video.
Alumni Relations at Cedarville University asked us to create a series of videos for their 2011 Homecoming. The theme was “Beautiful Things” and everything was surrounded by the concept of painting and God creating something out of our lives. To promote Homecoming, we created a quick video that we shot at a painting studio.

We also shot 3 different interviews with different alumni of Cedarville. Their stories were amazing. Our goal was to have a very raw feeling interview setup, where at times we see production gear, and we incorporate camera moves that normally we wouldn’t use, just to add a unique feel to the video.

Here are some pictures of our setup.
The Children’s Advocacy Center approached us and asked us to create a series of videos for a fundraising event they were hosting. The event was a boxing match, and all of the proceeds would benefit different organizations in the area. Two of the organizations that benefited from the event were the Children’s Advocacy Center Region 15, and the Children’s Tumor Foundation. All in all, we created 3 different videos. The first video was a quick promo that played before the event began, just to build excitement. The two teams that were boxing were local firefighters and local police officers. We made a quick video of the two teams arriving at the event and walking in.

The second video we made was a promotional video for the Children’s Advocacy Center Region 15. For this we set up a simple interview with a few different people that worked at this center, and then just gathered some B-roll of the building.
The final piece we created was a story about a boy name Jesse Markland. This family is amazing, and it was such an honor to get to know them while we were there. Their story is just amazing. I won’t comment too much on their story, but the video is well worth watching.

Shelby Street Photography is a Cincinnati based photography studio. They asked us to tag along with them on a few shoots and then create a promo video for their website. We had a blast hanging out with them! We went to two different days of shooting including one engagement session and one wedding. They are amazing to work with, they definitely know how to treat their clients right and the images they take are stunning.
In January, we had the pleasure of shooting a promotional video for Stoney Creek Roasters. Taylor (the owner) wanted a quick video that he could place on the homepage of his website. So, one Sunday, when the store was closed, we came in, set up lights and just started rolling. We brought in some friends to drink the coffee Taylor made so it wouldn’t go to waste, and I’m pretty sure we all had too much by the end of the shoot…
