Engaging Videos

Made By Cinematographers

 

Our core competency is making movies. Many Hollywood productions made in CT were filmed using our equipment. We don't even ask for film credits, we are glad to help young producers materialize their dreams.

 

Our core vision is teaching CT youth to work behind the camera and in front of the camera. We pay the bills by making top notch commercials for small and large brands and businesses worldwide. When you make your ads with us, not only do you get one of the best creative crews and professional results, but you actually help these young people follow their dreams.

 

We write engaging scripts to elicit the proper emotional response in your audience. Some of us have studied theater, drama, psychology, and others have decades of marketing experience with top NYC agencies.

 

From funny to viral to touching, we will study your particular situation and come up with something that fits your brand. Or if a concept is not a good idea for your image, we will tell you why you should drop it or adjust it. Sometimes what you want and what you need may be two separate things. You can count not only on our expertise, but also on our honesty.

Music Themes

We only use music themes we make in our own studio, or music we purchase with a license, or specifically composed for your project. We have a complete music and voice recording studio, to generate unique and engaging musical themes and narration for our clients' videos, commercial spots and documentaries.

Special Effects

Our repeatable motion robots can create unique high end special effects, such as people and objects that appear or  dissapear while the camera replicates a move precisely.

Our green room (cyclorama) and green suits allow for many other SFX possibilities, such as recreating environments, floating objects, etc. When we bring it all together, the magic of a high value production happens.

720,000 hours of video are uploaded to YouTUBE every day. Today, mediocrity is your enemy. Choose to stand out with an exceptional production. Contact us today and get noticed.

All HFA work is done in our studio or on location. If your project involves travel for staff, models, props and equipment, our requirements will be detailed in our Tour Rider.

 

That said and out of the way, table top product commercials can be filmed on a smaller budget by shipping your product to one of our recording studios in the USA or in the EU.

 

Requests for funny or viral screenplay writing necessitates that we understand your budget, your product, and your past efforts. We will send a list of questions to your marketing and sales managers so they have the answers ready when we schedule the call.

 

A lot can be accomplished in good taste economically; however, if you have the budget for more ample choices of location, models, props, and SFX, we should know before we write it, so we deliver in line with your vision.
