How we work

We plan the shoot around your launch, your team and the weather. Two cinematographers mean twice the shots each day and a better film. We keep the crew small, work in real conditions, and build extra time into the plan for weather.

What's included

  • A planning call and shot list

  • Two cinematographers, plus aerials

  • Editing, color and sound

  • Versions for your website, YouTube and social media

  • Raw footage on a hard drive you supply

Ongoing content partnerships

Some partners want a steady supply of video and photos instead of one film a year. We plan the season with you, shoot in batches and cut everything for each place it runs. From 2019 to 2025 we directed and edited Bisoncast, an education series for the National Museum of Wildlife Art.

  1. Plan

    We map out the season or year with you: stories, launches, events and where you post.

  2. Shoot in batches

    Regular shoot days capture video and photos for several pieces at once.

  3. Edit for every platform

    Longer films, short cuts and stills, all in one consistent style.

  4. Deliver & review

    Files arrive ready to post, and we look at what worked before the next round.

It works for outdoor brands, outfitters, tourism companies, nonprofits and agencies.

Questions

What if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Alaska weather doesn't follow a schedule. We build buffer into every plan, and extra shoot days can be added at our day rate if needed.

Will filming get in the way of a trip?

No. We keep the crew small and work around guests, guides and athletes, so the trip comes first.

Do you film hunting?

Yes. Our crew includes cinematographers with hunting-show experience, and we're hunters ourselves.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better for summer dates and remote locations, but we often put shoots together on short notice. Call (907) 521-8133 with your dates.
