We currently have over 200TB of archive storage for our video projects. But here’s a crazy thought: in the early 1990s, when Creative Images was founded, that much storage would have cost $2 billion! Technology sure has come a long way.

BTW, we archive client projects, often pulling footage from 10, or even 15 years ago. Whether it’s refreshing an old campaign, or creating something new, our archives are always ready to deliver.

How would you put 200TB to use?

While on-site working with Chameleon Communications on a large project to share Camp Daniel’s story, inspiration struck for this bonus walking tour. We quickly decided to capture this behind-the-scenes look at their Northwoods facility, their dedicated team, and their mission to empower individuals with disabilities.

This short video is just a glimpse of the work happening at Camp Daniel and a testament to their life-changing programs. Watch, share, and help spread the word about Camp Daniel!

Did you know? In addition to creating promotional and marketing videos, we also produce broadcast television content.

Recently, we had the opportunity to film local interviews for a crime drama on A&E. The producers, director, and interviewer—Brian Ross (formerly of ABC)—were in New York and conducted the interviews via Zoom, while we handled the local recording to broadcast specs here in Wisconsin.

The client envisioned a dark, dramatic courtroom look for the interviews. However, with the Waukesha courthouse undergoing major reconstruction, that wasn't an option. The solution? A local hotel ballroom lobby. With the right lighting and setup, we worked to bring the client’s vision to life.

What do you think—did we pull off the look?

I’m ready for some gigs out west! This month I’ll be filming in Boston and New Jersey. Early this summer it was NYC and Long Island.

Anyone need me someplace warm this winter???

Explore the forefront of lithium-ion battery production for industrial and commercial use in our latest video. Produced by Catch-22 Creative and filmed and edited by Creative Images, this piece gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the automated and robotic processes powering today’s top energy solutions.

Due to safety cages surrounding the sophisticated machinery, our filming strategy involved the use of aerial drones and cameras strategically placed within the cages. This meticulous approach allowed us to film through and above these barriers seamlessly, ensuring that the machinery's impressive details were highlighted without the safety measures being noticeable.

This production is a showcase of Catch-22 Creative's expertise in scripting, concept development, and graphics, brought to life through the lens of Creative Images. Our joint direction has resulted in a video that not only educates but captivates, providing a rare glimpse into the future of battery technology and manufacturing excellence.

One of our favorite drone shots takes us back a few years to Mitchell International Airport, where we aimed for that 'Top Gun' feel with a dramatic capture of the tower. The perfect lighting was crucial, and it meant waiting for just the right moment. But the planning didn't stop there - we secured FAA approval out of Houston and maintained direct contact with the control tower to ensure our drone didn't cause any distractions. The result? A shot we're still proud of today.

Recently, I had the pleasure of guiding the video production class at Random Lake School District High School as they worked on a commercial project for a local kayaking company. It was fantastic to see the enthusiasm and creativity of these young students! Their hard work will be showcased on a massive new monitor installed in the school gym. 🎥🛶

Video friends: Did you know that GoPro actually encourages users to hack their camera's programming? With a few tweaks, you can unlock features like displaying shutter speed and ISO on-screen – so handy when using ND filters. You can even enable motion detection recording or start recording when USB power is supplied.

What additional features do you wish your GoPro had?

🎥🌪️ EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED: The Day I Learned to Pack for a Video Shoot Apocalypse 🌪️🎥

As a videographer, both running Creative Images and as a freelancer, I've encountered various scenarios that taught me the importance of being prepared for anything. Today, I want to share a light-hearted story that highlights the value of always being ready, even when the plan seems simple.

Many years ago, I was on-site capturing b-roll in freezing Wisconsin weather, when my client unexpectedly requested an interview. Unfortunately, I hadn't packed any interview gear, but I didn't let that stop me. With some improvisation and creative problem-solving, the result was a success, and the client was thrilled!

This experience taught me to bring just about every piece of gear I could possibly need, no matter the plan. You never know when a curveball might come your way, but being prepared ensures you can hit it out of the park every time.

Read the full story and see the result in my blog ➡️ https://darrellboeck.com/blog/expect-the-unexpected-the-video-shoot-that-taught-me-to-always-be-prepared

Dive into this lighthearted story of how a cold winter day in Wisconsin taught me a valuable lesson in being prepared for anything during a video shoot. From b-roll to impromptu interviews, discover how I now make sure I have all the gear I need, just in case!

As a videographer, I've been entrusted with capturing stories across the country. In the next couple months, my work will take me to NYC, Boston, Atlanta, and Wind River Reservation. Care to guess which state that is in?

Time Lapse of my filming a sax sequence in Milwaukee, for a music video that's currently in production in Miami. They're looking for a clean, bright, modern look to match the rest of the video, and I think they did a great job finding it here. Filming took about 5 hours, and still shots were regularly sent to Miami for approvals. #videoproduction #marketing #musicvideo #timelapse

Foundry

I had the pleasure to film in a dark, dusty and very dirty foundry. The producer suggested that it would be difficult to make things look nice, but as soon as I walked in, I knew it would be perfect for some cool shots. Scenes are typically shot at 24 or 30 frames per second. I shot these at 120 for a nice, smooth slow-motion. Enjoy this "eye candy" from a not-so-pretty place.

Harvest of 2021

Last year, the harvest was done in September when everything was pretty and green. This year, they waited until it was dry. #videoproduction #marketing #dronepilot

Last week we had a shoot on a farm, so I arrived a little early hoping there would be a golden hour for an establishing shot. I was not disappointed. Here are a few seconds of a nice sunrise with fog. (no audio) #videoproduction #marketing #storytelling

Scenes from Industrial Shoot

Here are just a few shots for an upcoming promo video. I expected the footage to be pretty "industrial," but the early morning lighting with fog was really nice.

Random Lake Haze

We're doing some filming for the Random Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, and it was so humid and terrible lighting, we did not expect to get anything nice, but took the drone up anyway. We're glad we did. :) (no audio)

Sample clip of Milwaukee

We were hired by a marketing firm out of LA to capture some aerial images of specific areas of Milwaukee. My goodness, I love this location at this altitude. #videoproduction #drone #marketing

I just love now living across from a farm field. Instead of hearing sirens and Harley's, I hear tractors. As for the love of fertilizer smell, not-so-much. :) #nature #farming #johndeere #drone #videoproduction
