CREATIVE SERVICES
A video is nothing without a great concept. I take immense pleasure in collaborating with the bands that I work with on generating a concept that fits the creative vision of the song, while remaining within the budget that has been established for the video.
CONCEPTUALIZATION
production
With the concept in place, it’s time to bring the vision that it describes to life. My team and I combine our collective talents with our full complement of cinema-grade production equipment to transform your music into a dynamic visual statement.
post-production
Filming complete, we move into the post-production phase, arranging the raw visuals into a sum far greater than its parts. This is where the digital alchemy happens, mixing the elements of editing and stylization to give the piece its visual music.
STUDIO SPACE
Our boutique studio space often serves as the perfect venue for production. Whether we are seeking to create abstract space with our infinite white or black options, shape a surreal environment, or craft a specific setting, the studio offers room for creativity.
Upgrade your production with a dedicated photographer on set. Doing so allows for ample marketing and branding opportunities, through behind-the-scenes photography and artist portraiture that ties in with the video itself.
PHOTOGRAPHY
PRODUCTION DESIGN
Unique creative visions often call for components not easily purchased. In these cases, team members with extensive histories in design, costuming, and prop fabrication step up, fashioning oftentimes mundane elements into pieces of visual art.

"I’ve been fortunate enough to work with Craig for 13+ years, making an array of music videos for my band. Craig invests his time to listen to your song, and creates his own interpretation and vision of what the story of the music video could be. This gives an artist the opportunity to see their creation come to life in a different way, and gives multiple options for the final result, which helps immensely for budget planning. A++ from A to Z and everything in between”
