Recently we had an amazing time filming some new videos for the City of Mount Holly’s Economic Development department.
The first video officially launched on their social media today. Here are some behind the scenes from the 3 day filming project.
We loved getting to explore even more of the beautiful City of Mount Holly. We met so many amazing entrepreneurs and explored industries we had never seen throughout the filming.
Make sure you go and check out the first video on the City of Mount Holly’s page today!

We spent World Photography Day (yesterday) testing out some new gear... the Canon R5 Mark II. 📸
Our trusty Canon R5 cameras have served us so well for the past 5 years, but we are so excited for this upgrade. They have improved autofocus, improved image quality, better low light, and are less likely to overheat. Which, after this summer, you know how vital that can be! 🥵
We always strive to have the best quality of equipment for our clients and are so excited to use our new cameras for our monthly marketing clients and some upcoming video productions we have!

Had a great time filming in the Town of Cramerton yesterday. Always fun to explore a town you've been to your whole life in a new light for filming.
We even survived a 109 degree heat index 🥵, so ignore the sweat in the photos! 🤣 We can't wait to show off this video project once it is live.
