Our work
We empower clients to leverage video for marketing, training, HR, events, and more! Explore our some of our recent video projects.
Arthritis Foundation
This live stream included pre-produced content and a live feed from our studio in Bellingham, WA. The auction was emceed by the Executive Director and the auction conducted by an auctioneer—the emcee tag teamed the auction from off screen to accommodate proper social distancing.
For this live streamed virtual event we also included a pre-produced remote interview with a special guest—a boy who had appeared in another video the Arthritis Foundation had produced 6 years prior. Capturing his testimony helped to create an engaging experience for attendees and led to increased funding in the auction.
Boys & Girls Club of Whatcom County
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, the Boys and Girls Club of Whatcom County came to us to pivot their in-person gala to a virtual one. They selected an auctioneer and we included a number of pre-produced clips which they produced internally.
This event was filmed at the Silver Reef Casino in Ferndale, WA. We had two different sets in the same suite—one for the auctioneer (the Boys & Girls club banner backdrop) and the other more comfortable living room area where the co-hosts sat to give live updates and talk about their programming.

Lydia Place – Art for Housing
Virtual Event & Live Streamed Art Auction
Art for Housing is traditionally an in-person art soiree (see the 2019 recap video below) that gathers art aficionados from around the community to celebrate fine art. Lydia Place approached us to create an engaging online event that could celebrate local artists, bring people together (virtually), and raise money for their organization.
We hosted the live stream in our very own Studio V on Cornwall Ave in downtown Bellingham. Lydia Place brought in some of the art they wanted to highlight in the auction and we staged in the front lobby area. We added some pre-produced content and a slide deck to round out the experience and to allow for enough transition time between featuring different art pieces.
At the end of the day, an event that almost had to be cancelled was saved and Lydia Place was able to host a successful fundraiser!

Law Advocates – Law Day Breakfast
Benefit Breakfast goes Virtual
Every year for the past few years Law Advocates has hosted a breakfast gathering that brings together like-minded people who care about justice and advocacy for some of the most marginalized in our community. Only weeks into the initial outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States, Law Advocates was forced to cancel their in-person gathering which left them without any clear way to raise the funds they needed to continue their programming.
Initially they were planning to do a simple Zoom meeting that would provide the platform for people to connect and for their keynote speakers to present. We knew there was a better option and proposed doing a live stream instead.
Michael Heatherly, the Executive Director, hosted the virtual benefit and facilitated the conversation with the guest speakers and attendees. The three guest speakers were featured remotely and we incorporated their slideshow presentations—we ran the slide decks for the presenters so that we could seamlessly switch between the speaker's face and their material, without them having to share their screen.
At the end of the day, Law Advocates was very pleased with the attendance and with the money they were able to raise that day to support their programs.

Making Waves (Shell + Million Waves Project)
WWU Give Day 2018
Every year on June 1, the Western Washington University Foundation hosts a 24-hour Give Day event, encouraging parents, alumni and other supporters to donate to their favorite programs, departments or scholarships.
For their 2018 event, we had the opportunity to work with WWU and feature 3 students who, through their scholarships, have benefitted from past Give Day funding.
We produced 5 deliverables for this project: 3 short student spotlights, one primary Give Day feature, and a post-event “thank you” video. These videos were rolled out over several weeks in email blasts and over social media, ramping up to the big day.
Overall, the campaign, supported by our videos, was a huge success. WWU surpassed their $600,000 fundraising goal! Additionally, paid video ads & posts on Facebook saw 3x more traction than posts with just a static image—earning not only more impressions, but more Reactions, comments, and—most important—clicks through to the Give Day donation site.
2018 Light in the Night Gala
After the success of our 2016 project, we were thrilled when Lighthouse Mission Ministries approached us again in 2018 for their annual gala.
With this video, LMM wanted to highlight the variety of support programs they provide, including: Street Connect, the Drop-In Center, Agape Home, The Mission & the New Life Program.
We covered these programs by taking the viewer through the journey that a homeless individual would follow. We also shared 3 stories of success to illustrate the importance of LMM in Bellingham. In one day of production, we were able to interview 5 people who have experienced homelessness, and received support with LMM. While we were not able to feature all 5, we were able to edit short vignettes for each individual. LMM is sharing these success story videos on their social media channels, in their blog, and in their email marketing to generate donations.
