Vala 2024 Sizzle Reel
The 2024 Vala Reel is finally here! 🎬
So pumped to see us continue to expand our client roster with industry giants like Hero Forge, FanRoll, and Monument Hobbies to name just a few! We've nurtured our current partnerships as they experienced phenomenal growth. We've won prestigious branding awards for our ECCVB rebrand. We've launched not one, not two, but THREE successful Kickstarters!
We have a fantastic team right now, and we can't wait to see what this next year brings!
Hero Forge Video - Behind the Scenes
🎥 🎲 Hero Forge came to Vala looking for a stylized video to show off their premium painted mini figures. The important aspects of this project included visuals with saturated colors, shots in a warm cabin, and showing people having fun playing a TTRPG. Here's a look behind the scenes of that shoot!
These projects are incredibly fun for our team because of all the details we put into the location to make it feel lived in. They can also introduce a lot of challenges! The biggest challenge for a shoot like this is the logistics of piecing together the right location, hiring actors, set design, and shooting while keeping it all within our client's budget.
The most rewarding part is when everything comes together and flows smoothly because of all the preplanning that went into it. With this project, we got to push the boundaries of our lighting to make the product feel elevated. It's not as simple as just showing up to the location and filming. We have to think about if there is a place to eat for the actors and crew, a place for the actors to change, are there restrooms, can we fit all of the equipment in, or will the sun be in the right spot? It takes a village to make a project like this and it is amazing to see how everyone works together to complete it at the highest quality for the client!
Client Spotlight: Timbercrest Senior Living Community
🌟 Our client, Timbercrest Senior Living Community, was looking for a video that would transport viewers to their beautiful campus, showcasing the lively, fulfilling, and independent lifestyle their residents cherish. We needed to showcase that Timbercrest is more than just a place to live; it's a community that thrives on shared experiences and supportive friendships.
Do you think we hit the mark?
DJ Construction - Kalamazoo
Vala once again partnered with DJ Construction on this recent video to showcase how DJ Construction is Decidedly Different to their Kalamazoo audience. We needed to show how DJ brings professional dedication and a personal touch to every project, and how they can help the Kalamazoo, MI area with their growth goals.
It's always a pleasure working with DJ Construction!
Tentacle Kitty - Levia Spotlight
Vala Marketing recently worked on a spotlight video for Tentacle Kitty's plushie, Levia. The video showcased Levia’s unique features as a weighted plushie and featured professional actors of different ages in various sets.
We had a lot of fun creating this engaging and heartwarming video, which was shared across multiple social media platforms, garnering significant attention and contributing to the success of Tentacle Kitty’s summer sale.

Elkhart Jazz Festival 2023 Highlights
A quick highlight video of all of the fun at this year's Elkhart Jazz Festival!
This has been one of our favorite events to market year after year, not just because we get to curate super fun posts, design colorful pieces (everything from logos, to schedules, brochures, and flyers), and take great photos - but also because we can't help but listen to the music, eat the food, and enjoy the event itself while we work!

Oaklawn's Got Talent
Check out this promo video we recently completed for Oaklawn Psychiatric Center's awesome Oaklawn's Got Talent event! The video captures the main vibe of the event, showcasing the incredible talents of the performers. It had everyone hyped to go and experience the excitement!
Oaklawn's main goal with this event was to spread mental health awareness in the community, and Vala's promo video was key in making that happen. It was used it in ads, social media posts, and other promos to get the word out!
Happy Easter, 2023!
Happy Easter, from all of us at Vala!

South Bend Civic Theatre Gala
Jon LOVED working on this gala video for the South Bend Civic Theatre, not only because partnering with Aaron Nichols is always a pleasure, but because he has performed at the Civic himself! Going from actor to video producer with the same company was a fun experience, and he can't wait to work on the next project for them!
