General Reels

Just as you hope that you've made a good decision about your choice of spouse, you also really want to make a good decision when it comes to your vehicle loan....both are long term decisions...hopefully one is much longer than the other. In this spot for CEFCU, a credit union, the bride's vows include a glowing endoresment of CEFCU's car loans.

A whole lotta rigging and climbing in Colorado’s Garden Of The Gods to get this metaphor going…35mm, Swiss crane, and frame speed manipulation.

Use of variable frame rates and unsettling sound effects add to the tension and drama of this 16mm commercial, which seeks to educate the viewer about the sad realities of shaken baby syndrome.

Medical Reels

Clean set, up-lighting, original music and spot on delivery by the talent help deliver a serious message … “Cancer’s Tough But We’re Tougher” without being ominous or scary.

Location, location, location… There are great locations in our area that can double for virtually anywhere if you know where to find them. It’s about the preproduction.

Director’s best friend?....not. It takes special skill to coax successful “performances” from man’s best friend…to say nothing of the meticulous preplanning of each and every move that will be required of the canine talent. But, it’s well worth the effort.

Real People Reels

Getting believable, passionate performances from real people at several locations around the country is what makes this program work.

An excellent combination of stellar performances coaxed from real employees and compelling motion graphics give this spot great energy and eye appeal.

Getting compelling performances from executives at all levels is one of Deeds’ fortes…HD paired together with excellent stock and motion graphics gives a lotta punch for the dollar.

Comedy Reels

Fun concept, great location, great post treatment and kittens…what a formula…an example of our comedy expertise.

Here, less is more. You don’t need a lot of set when you’ve got an excellent concept, perfect casting and some fun motion graphics.

The comedic hook for this lumber company’s 16mm spot is an anthropomorphic treatment of two birds that provide commentary on the ineptitude of the human do-it-yourselfer. A lot of grunts, groans and giggles in lieu of a traditional voice-over.

Kids Reels

When an Arbor Group director can get this good of a performance from kids and real employees, they can probably get one from your difficult CEO too.

Arbor Group directors know that getting the best possible performances from kids, or any talent for that matter, depends on making them as comfortable on camera as possible…easier said than done when the location is a real hospital with all the sensitive issues that come with it.

Swing-shift lens created depth and drama in the small one-on-one interaction of the on-camera talent.

Food Reels

We’re hands on with art direction and props when we do food table-top…add a motion control camera and you have a delicious look for this 35mm spot.

What’s important to film is important to HD…table top, expertly lit and creatively stylized, intercut with a fun location at magic hour…all done at 24P.

Secrets to beautiful food on tape...24P HD, expert lighting and art direction plus styling finesse. Add a client spokesperson with a 100 watt smile and it's all good.

Corporate Reels

Create a capabilities and video tour for a just-built, not officially open, multi-million dollar structure, dedicated to the education of our future business leaders. Challenging but doable.

Illustrates the advantageous leap to a “paperless” medical center. Used in an employment/technology fair, the video follows the care of two patients through their hospital stay. A lot of locations and motion graphics.

Using low key lighting on the faces of women of all ages from all walks of life, a captivating voice and a flame in the darkness as a transitional image, is a simple, poetic way to open a convention for women who are dedicated to helping others.
