We made a music video for Ed Sheeran!

It was a cold call on a Wednesday afternoon in mid-October. This guy was interested in learning about our company because he had a music video to make…
for ED SHEERAN.
Wait…what? Mike Lamhang and his fiancé, Angie, self-proclaimed Sheeran super fans, had entered a contest to become one of 14 fans chosen from different countries worldwide to make a music video for one of the songs off Ed’s new album, ‘Autumn Variations.’ They won to represent the USA. Yep, it took us a minute to process this too. Mike was just a hobbyist filmmaker, but he’s got real talent and he and Angie had a strong vision. Before I knew it we were interacting with Ed’s record label and knee-deep in pre-production. Over the few short weeks that followed, we helped them develop the story, scout, coordinate, direct and finish the official video for Ed’s new hit track, “American Town.” We hope you like it.
Did this really just happen?

Our work with the Mission To Psyche has been focused on communicating the complex science that goes into studying a unique planetary body that’s hundreds of millions of miles away from Earth. Then we heard Terry Glaze‘s (Pantera, Lord Tracy) outstanding heavy metal tribute to the mission and we knew we had to turn it up to…"11."

Featuring art created by undergraduate students all over the country in the Psyche Inspired program, along with our mission graphics and animation, we present 'Psyche: A Heavy Metal Tribute.' Special shout out to our own Lee Ann Cone who channeled her affection for 80s metal and edited this music video beautifully!

In 2017 we were invited to join NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Arizona State University's Mission To Psyche as its official production partners. An epic invite to say the least! For the past 6 years, we’ve been lucky to have a behind the scenes look at the daunting, complex and inspirational work that goes into creating a mission to space. We learned the science just well enough to do justice to the work this amazing team of people have done for so many years. 13 videos and some Emmy and Addy Awards later, launch week is upon us! You can learn about this incredible mission by checking out many of the videos on the linked NASA/JPL YouTube playlist. The first two videos - our teaser trailer and the official trailer give your best quick look at all things Psyche.

We are profoundly grateful to Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Psyche’s Principal Investigator (and the second woman in history to lead a NASA deep space mission) for having us aboard. She’s an amazing scientist, an inspirational leader and all around great human being. We need more like her in charge! We’re also immensely grateful for Karin Valentine and Cassie Bowman.

Finally, our gratitude extends to our core production and post pros who made it all happen:

Tapping into the great Arizona weather, our friends at Marcus Thomas traveled out to AZ last winter to shoot a spring campaign for Craftsman, highlighting its impressive line of battery operated tools.

Last year we partnered with R&R Partners and real people impacted by the substance abuse crisis to produce a campaign to raise awareness on using safer. At this year’s ADDY Awards, TSF took home a silver for the English broadcast spot, a bronze for the campaign, and our team at Copper Post took home a gold for video editing.
“Bully,” a PSA message that we produced with RIESTER for the AZ Dept of Health Services to celebrate the importance of kindness, was also recognized with a silver. AAF - Phoenix Ad Club

As we look back on 2022, we’re incredibly grateful for the work we get to do and the relationships we have with our wonderful clients, some we’ve known for years and others new to TSF. Of course, the talented and hard working production and post crews around us make it all possible.

A highlight from this year has been partnering with the fine folks at Discount Tire to produce four national campaigns centered around The Tucker Family, who were brought to life by an epic cast we were elated to find!

Here are a couple spots from the latest campaign. We join the Tuckers in wishing everyone a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

ps. “Snowman” was filmed on a 90 degree day in September 😉

You’d expect the laws of gravity would apply at your neighborhood Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona, but .

Kudos to our partners at Commit Agency for their vision and our team of visual wizards at Copper Post and Stormer Creative. More to come in this fun campaign.

At the ADDYS last week, TSF work was recognized with seven ADDY awards, including four golds! We’re grateful to our agency partners and clients who gave us the opportunity to produce award-winning work.

We’d like to introduce you to the Tucker Family! TSF kicked off 2022 with Discount Tire and this fun series. Stay tuned to see what else the Tuckers can do with all their extra time!

It’s clear that there is no greater purpose in a parent’s life than the health and happiness of our kids. What isn’t always clear is prioritizing our own health must be a central part of that mission. and approached us last year to tell the story of parents who go to great lengths for their kids, while reminding us that there is no better way to make sure you'll be there for your kids than to quit smoking. We’re excited to finally share, “Anything for your Kids.”

Tapped by Boston based agency, HeyLetsGo!, it was a pretty cool gig to have Judas Priest frontman and rock legend, Rob Halford on set for a series of spots for Plymouth Rock. Safe to say we all got 'rocked' that day!

JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford is featured in a new advertising campaign from Plymouth Rock. Lots of insurance ads use characters from pop culture. It can be a little tricky remembering which bra...

In 2015, an 18 year old Devin Booker arrived in The Valley as the Phoenix Suns’ 13th pick of the draft. He was a player many thought could be special. We produced the Suns team intro that year, a concept that brought each player out into the community. Devin joined us at a city park court in South Central Phoenix. He was humble and gracious as he joined a team of 13 year olds for a game of pickup in his scene.

Fast forward to today, and D Book is the only remaining Suns player from that intro. We’ve been proud to watch him turn into the player everyone hoped he’d be, especially doing it the right way. And after a lot of tough years, this kid, this team and this City deserve to be where right where they are.

Here’s a tribute to years of hard work and a look back at one of our all-time favorite projects. Let’s win 4!

Proud to have our very own Cary Truelick named to the Sun Devil 100 club for the third year in a row.

As the Cronkite article outlines, the alumni association recognizes ASU graduates owning or leading the 100 fastest growing companies which of course wouldn’t be possible without the extended TSF team!

Six alumni from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University have been named to the Sun Devil 100, which celebrates the achievements and successes of some of the university’s most successful graduates.

New Work! We love the tone that OH Partners and the Arizona Lottery have set with its recent campaigns. We were proud to join them in creating this spot. Produced with affection for our beautiful state and a top notch AZ cast and crew.
