The Creative Cortex Visual storyteller using media production as my canvas. Website: www.thecreativecortex.com Not every story has to cost much to be told.
(3)

While bringing to fruition many of my own stories, I seek out to tell the stories of others through video production editing, motion graphics and visual effects. We are visual storytellers helping everyday people with everyday budgets in need of video, photographic or art & design services. Delve into our synaptic network to see what ideas of yours we can help take from ideation to fruition. WHO W

E ARE:
We are just like many others who have struggled to get to where we are through practice, hard work, financial struggle, gain and loss. Our backgrounds are in photography, videography, editing, concept art, storyboards, digital illustration and narrative storytelling. We can relate to the lack of resources and finances that ultimately force our hand into finding creative alternatives to accomplishing our desired result. Now we have taken all that we have learned and turned it into a start-up production and design company that is out to help others that are struggling with their first projects. WHAT WE CAN DO:
Among our arsenal of awesome brain power

1. We can plan and execute digital photo and video shoots on a more intimate scale.

2. Video and Photo Editing.

3. Motion Graphics and other After Effects VFX that are not too intensive.

4. Digital illustrations and Storyboards for those script pitches or shoots of your own. WHAT WE HAVE DONE:

With our two man operation (for now) we can Video and Photograph small live events whether they are comedy sets, music ensembles, family events, panel discussions, interviews, landscapes, architecture, candid and posed moments, and b-roll. We have also recorded audio for synced- sound. THE COST OF IT ALL:

We truly are out to help everyday people with everyday budgets. Our prices are structured at a the fairest most level for every project to be worth everyone's time and effort. We have payment options so don't freak out and think that you have to pay everything up front. We typically do 50% up front and 50% upon delivery and we work with contracts and agreements so that all parties are protected and nothing is left to question.

Helping Everyday People on Everyday Budgets

www.thecreativecortex.com The Company The Creative Cortex is a small video production company specializing in short-form and long-form storytelling, documentary and original content. The videos TCC produces have been used primarily for social media marketing and for online streaming and download. To date, TCC has covered Q & A panels, interviews, performances, and events.

No matter the type of project TCC produces, it will ensure that the proper story is conveyed. It can be a full-on complete story, an augmented companion piece to a larger story, or a truncated version of a complete story. When TCC covers a project, it does not simply execute without a plan. TCC must understand why the project is to exist and how the final product will be used in order to help the client convey the proper story.

The Creative Cortex has helped a wide range of individuals who have a story to tell. Among those TCC has worked with include a musician, two film composers, a recording studio, two movie memorabilia shops, a music producer turned filmmaker, a comedian, a comedy group, a real estate marketing company, and a property demolition companies.

Aside from the storytelling aspect of every project, understanding the needs and setting expectations on both sides from the beginning is the key to success. Clients have found great value in TCC's abilities with oversight of any project from ideation to fruition. It has planned, coordinated and executed many of its projects.

With its dedicated teams, The Creative Cortex shows up, on time and delivers on the expectations set forth from the beginning. It has mastered the art of doing a lot with just a little to make a project appear to have a bigger production value than it actually had.

When it comes to the question of "how much ?", remember, clients are paying for TCC's time, its tools, its education and experience - all of which collectively is what gives genesis to every project. Do note that every project is different in budget, scope and expectation levels.

TCC kindly asks to be contacted for a quote. It has found that trying to provide a flat rate simply does not work because the amount of effort may exceed or come in way under the flat monetary value placed on the effort. Ultimately, TCC would lose money or the client would lose money. That is not what TCC is about.

The Creative Cortex can provide value to those who are willing to invest a little personal time and money to make a unique project come to life. It seeks to build relationships that are long lasting with clients. TCC does not shy away from "one-off" assignments either as those may unexpectedly turn into long lasting relationships.

About The Owner The creator of TCC, Matthew C. Hightshoe, is a diverse and versatile visual storyteller himself. His interest in filmmaking and ultimately video production as a whole originated in his youth. He spent most of his adolescence and college years studying filmmaking. He came to understand visual storytelling through Concept Art, Storyboards, Cinematography, Visual Effects and Music. While his career as an adult took an unexpected detour from filmmaking into Graphic design for print, web and user experience, it eventually circled back to what he wanted to do since he was a youth.

Matthew honed his visual storytelling abilities during this time and has transferred them to the core function of The Creative Cortex. Also during this time, he obtained additional abilities in photography, photo editing, storyboarding and digital art which help to have something to fall back on when between video production gigs.

When not working on a video project for a client, he attends local Los Angeles genre film events, conventions and screenings. Following the trends of YouTubers, Matthew has begun producing his own recaps videos captured using his phone and editing them into short-form recap videos. This demonstrates his ability to break away from traditional methods and explore current trends to determine what works and what doesn't with respect to short-form storytelling.
