November is heating up at and weโ€™ve got a couple of new promos to prove it! We had a blast creating โ€œPagliacciโ€™s Dressing Roomโ€ in our studio AND transforming the orchestra pit into a fantastical swirl of sheet music.

WELCOME TO THE STUDIO ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
ICYMI we moved and we now have a studio space + office space in Ravenswood.

Our warm and inviting studio features big windows, providing ample natural light and warm tones. Filmmakers and photographers will find this versatile space perfect for portrait sessions, product photography, interviews, live streams, and tabletop projects of all kinds.

Here are some examples of the work we make when we have space to cook! ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐ŸณAnd yes. The space IS available to rent so you can cook, too.

If youโ€™re interested in renting, DM us or hit the link in bio - weโ€™d love to have you here!

Did we mention that we now have access to a freight elevator??? ๐Ÿคฏ Siskel and Ebert would give us two thumbs up for easy equipment load-ins and load-outs.

Well, itโ€™s that time of year when we put the cameras on the shelf and slip into holiday hibernation. Itโ€™s been a full year for the Big Foot crew with so many projects completed and new memories made. Weโ€™re super grateful for all of the amazing friends we get to collaborate with and weโ€™re looking forward to doing even more of that in the upcoming year. In fact, have a memory? Add a pic to this post!

Happy Holidays Yโ€™all! Weโ€™re excited to see your beautiful faces in 2024!

We are so proud to be aligned with International Crane Foundation on this project to bring awareness to crane conservation through dance and film!

We are excited to share a new performing arts film series, 'Mates for Life,' by Chicago-based Big Foot Media. The first film in the series focuses on Whooping Cranes, combining stunning dance by members of The Joffrey Ballet with a conservation message, intersecting and benefiting both art and nature. The Whooping Crane film will be released in the spring of 2023. Learn more about the project > www.matesforlife.co
