Calling all marketers, agencies and clients... Ever wonder how to make sure your shoot is an absolute success?
After decades of shooting + handling post-production, here are our not-so-secret tips to make sure we capture your vision 🌈✨
✚ Dive deep—before shooting begins, share all your thoughts and ideas with us! The more we know, the smoother the production will go.
✚ Teamwork makes the dream work! Your wins are our wins, so don’t hesitate to voice any concerns to our crew. If something can’t be fixed immediately, we’ll note it for post-production. Clear, open communication during the shoot helps ensure everything is on track and up to your standards.
✚ Designate a single point of contact to keep feedback focused and efficient after the shoot.
✚ Use our reviewing platform for seamless revisions. Keeping everything in one place makes for easy reference between multiple channels of communication. If you can’t use our reviewing platform, a single document will do!
✚ Use descriptive language and explain why you do or don’t like something – we promise, we won’t take it personally! 😆 Understanding the reasons behind your preferences allows us to align more closely with your vision.

Plus, we even got a special guest appearance. Enjoy!

Happy Friday! We wanted to re-introduce ourselves (and take you for a backstage look at the studio). We’re TRG, a Multimedia production company located here in Brooklyn, Ohio 📍
We’ve got a lot going on in our 160,000 square-foot studio... to name a few:
✨ a 40’ x 60’ cyc wall
✨ a MILO robotic camera
✨ a soundstage
✨ 40+ semi-customizable sets
✨ 2 stylist kitchens
✨ a two-story prop room & art gallery
✨ a fully-stocked equipment room
✨ an art room for our in-house art directors
✨ a flatlay room
✨ and so. much. more.
While our tools and technology are top of the lind, we’d be nothing without our team of creative weirdos (and their dogs). From production to CGI, retouching, admin, construction, to all of the artists in this video, our teams work hard to make it all come together as seamlessly as possible. That and lotttts of coffee ☕️
We hope you get a chance to come hang out with us in person! Visit the link in our bio to learn more about how we can work together 💡
The most satisfying thing about the job? Watching the vision come to life ✨🥃
What comes before a photoshoot? Lots of prep ✨ In order for a shoot to run smoothly, we’ve got to make sure everything is in place. So, what does that look like?
For starters, every shoot is *slightly* different. Some shoots require a fully custom set be built, while others might require a standard flatlay. Some require models, or talent, while others let the product be the star of the show. No matter what, we always make sure we tackle these necessary steps to make sure your shoot goes just as planned 👇
✚ The Creative Brief: Our team will discuss your goals for your shoot—what do you want to achieve? Who are you targeting? Where will your content be shown? What mood are we going for? Once we have this information, our team of art directors and producers will put together a brief and a schedule.
✚ Schedule crew according to the size of the shoot - this usually consists of 1+ photographer(s)and/or videographers, assistants, producers, stylists, and more!
✚ Book Talent - If your shoot calls for lifestyle shots, we’ll handle booking talent to bring those dreams to life.
✚ Order and pull wardrobe and props - Once we’ve identified the creative brief and talent, our team will begin pulling the wardrobe, accessories + props that make the most sense for your shoot.
✚ Set construction and design - our construction crew will handle building whatever you need for your shoot, whether it’s a functioning shower or a set of built-in bookshelves.
These are just a few of the steps we take to make sure our shoot runs smoothly from the get-go. Luckily, we’ve got a pretty great team to tackle it all.

Introducing TRG Sound&Vision, a new branch of TRG focused on original content 🎬
We’ve got a lot of talent here in Northeast Ohio. Our goal is to leverage this abundance of skill to craft impactful work and become leaders in the industry.
Our journey has already surpassed expectations. We’ve filmed a pilot for an unscripted series, a feature-length documentary is in its final post-production stages, and we’ve got a docu-series deep in the editing process. Additionally, we’re exploring opportunities for two more feature-length documentaries with stories we believe in.
