Cinematic: Creative --- vision-drive --- original filmmaking
Point & Shoot: Generic --- local ---- ordinary videography
A marriage between these two trades is not the most common combination, we know,
but we don't make the rules, we just break them.
You see, we had a conviction. We observed the Midwestern visual media market surrounding us and beheld an expansive void of modern and innovative production. Therefore, we put it upon ourselves to shift the balance a bit.
So imagine, if you will, a production company run by a team in touch with the modern visual aesthetic of a new generation, in touch with the contemporary skills and resources that appeals to what we know is the new visual culture. A group of people who are not only plugged-in to the binary spirit of a new digital age, but who have decided to approach traditional videography through a more dramatic channel of film and cinematography.
It's okay, you can say it. Revolutionary, we know, but so obvious. That's the plain on which we reside -- visual communication based on what we like to call: "The Cinematic Process".
