Video Production
We filmed, edited and produced 95 videos ranging from our work with Hey Westminster to Hall of Fame content for US Squash. We also provided concert photography and event coverage for Westminster’s SummerFest.
Website Design
We built 10 different websites with a heavy focus in e-commerce websites. Some of these sites include Be Kind Sign, BC Boost, Free Todd Mullis and more.
GLBAL good
This year we continued our tradition of donating a percentage of our company profits to a nonprofit. This year’s recipient was LightsOut. Read more about them here.
Looking ahead…
We are looking forward to next year and would love to work together on your next project. We currently have 3 international trips planned and can’t wait to return to visit our friends in Africa and South America this coming year.
Our founder Justin Willet recently caught up with CanvasRebel Magazine to discuss what it takes to earn a living doing what you love. Read the full interview here: https://canvasrebel.com/meet-justin-willet/
Justin Willet was recently interviewed for the Persevere Podcast where they discussed everything from playing in a rock band to founding a full service media company, being prepared for the unexpected and believing in yourself, and creating boundaries with honesty and transparency.
Video content is a continually increasing demand for the online and social media space. This is because:
“Viewers retain 95% of a message presented to them in the video as compared to 10% when reading text.” – Impact Plus
As this knowledge is becoming more widespread we are beginning to see the trickle-down effect take place. More and more nonprofits and companies are beginning to consistently implement video on their websites and in social media content. Ultimately, video content serves your visitors better because you’re making your content easily accessible and memorable.
Check out the 2022 video trends to watch for and incorporate into your nonprofit or company’s content.
4k and even 8k video have become the new standard in video production.
Even though most viewers aren’t watching on devices capable of these resolutions people have been taught to ask for it when requesting video shoots.
As the use of video increases across all platforms creative lighting will play a bigger role in helping your videos stand out. RBG lighting will allow users to create unique-looking interviews and have full control over the scene they are shooting.
Interactive / VR video hasn’t fully caught on but as the technology continues to improve and become more widespread we can expect to see more and more VR videos.
Drone Video.
Drone videography has become standard in most video productions however the quality of these shots and most importantly using them creatively will help set your production apart.
Live Streaming.
Live streaming is here to stay however with its increased popularity the cost for these services will start to decrease as it becomes easier for clients to produce the content on their own.
Check out a blog we created dedicated to live streaming.
Video formats.
Stories will always drive good videos. Even as short-form videos become the norm across social media the content of the video is crucial to its success.
Moving into 2022 and beyond videos will need to be delivered in multiple formats for use in vertical stories, square formats, and standard 16×9.

51 travel dates

26 flights
This year saw the return of live events and we were happy to help support them. Traveling on numerous tours, video shoots, and client meetings we flew over 26 times.
29 states visited
Although this was the first year in over 5 years that did not include an international trip we still managed to cover most of the country visiting 29 states for photos, videos, and tour dates.
