Talking Dog Film

Talking Dog Film Life is about stories. Short ones, long ones, or somewhere in between. Let us help you tell it. We all have a favorite story. Let's start sharing some together.

A moment in time when you can recall every detail and share it with anyone around you. These moments often feel adventurous, sometimes thrilling, but are always memorable. Through Talking Dog Film, I set out to capture those moments. Whether through ads, event promotions, weddings, or anything in between. Taking its inspiration from the movie Up, I want to capture the power of story in a short amo

unt of time, and give life the proper adventure it deserves, no matter what avenue. Time seems to be a limit to some people when making videos. Trying to capture a moment in a short time isn't easy, but when it's done right, it sticks with you, just like the memories you love to share. You've had a great adventure, now lets go have a new one

We recently had the opportunity to capture the first in a series of videos for Lenawee County Habitat For Humanity for an upcoming fall event that we're so excited to be a part of. There will be a series of five videos highlighting all the areas that Habitat For Humanity is helping serve in Lenawee County. This recording covered the newly revitalized relationship between HFH and the Lenawee Intermediate School District. We're so excited to help share these incredible stories with you all in the coming months! It's gonna be a busy summer!

In our second week of classes, we learned all about the world of lighting and sound! While it may seem like a second thought for those not in the world of videography, lighting and sound can make or break a video. We had a great time filming the remainder of the students' short film, which will have its own red-carpet premiere on Wednesday! We also have an exciting announcement coming tomorrow, so be on the lookout for that!

Here are some of our favorite photos from this week's class! During this class, students learned the fundamentals of lighting and sound. Also, how to set up a scene using natural lighting, and learning the importance of sound and how that can make or break the editing process.
We'd also love to give a massive shout-out to Gabe Hammes! Gabe is a professional videographer and a friend of Talking Dog Film. During this class, he led the teaching on lighting. Thank you, Gabe!

What’s our story

We all have a favorite story. A moment in time when you can recall every detail and share it with anyone around you. These moments often feel adventurous, sometimes thrilling, but are always memorable. Through Talking Dog Film, I set out to capture those moments. Whether through testimonials, event promotions, weddings, filming a loved ones story, or anything in between. Taking its inspiration from the movie UP, I want to capture the power of story in a short amount of time, and give life the proper adventure it deserves, no matter what avenue. Time seems to be a limit to some people when making videos. Trying to capture a moment in a short time isn't easy, but when it's done right, it sticks with you, just like the memories you love to share. Let's start sharing some together. You've had a great adventure, now lets go have a new one Nick
