In a client's words
"You should fire your other guy right now and go to Nikita."
"The quality comes out super crisp. He always responds very quickly, edits the videos right on time, usually just a couple days. I've actually referred Nikita to two or three people."
Bill Lawrence, Dynasty Accounting · a monthly video series since 2025
Your customers on camera where they use what you sell. Our Lumberock film follows a marine contractor through a real dock build as he explains why he chose the decking.
Team and recruiting interviews
Your people on what the work is like, for careers pages, recruiting and onboarding. Several team members fit in one shoot day.

Wireless lav mics on everyone we interview, plus a shotgun mic on a boom and a separate audio recorder.
Aputure lights and softboxes, set up for each person and each room.
