Collaboration is Key for Pro Video & Photo Productions
When considering a production company for your next professional video or photo project, keep in mind that collaboration is key. There will be a lot of calls, emails, and texts and lots of questions asked during pre-production. It’s important that you have a clear vision of what you’d like to achieve so that the production […]
Silicosis Safety Precaution Photography
Silicosis is an incurable lung disease often documented among those in stone fabrication industries.

How we did it – Emory Healthcare APP animated video
When Emory Healthcare reached out to ask if we were interested in creating an original animated video to explain the importance of APPs (Advanced Practice Providers) as members of a patient’s care team, we wasted no time getting back in touch. Even though we usually work with real people in real places, we have some […]
On The Road With Kamstrup
When our friends at Kamstrup decided to roadtrip through Alabama and Tennessee to capture success stories on video as part of the Insights case study collection, we got the call to provide photography support along the way.

Tips for Repurposing Visual Content
I’ve been a collector of many things over the years starting with stickers, then records, guitars, radios, cameras and more. Collecting can be great fun, but it can also get overwhelming. The video footage and still images we collect from client shoots can feel that way sometimes, but there is value to be had in […]
Atlanta Ballet’s “Coco Chanel – The Life of a Fashion Icon”
When the Atlanta Ballet got in touch and asked us to partner with them and produce promo videos for the North American Premiere of “Coco Chanel: The Life of a Fashion Icon” we jumped at the opportunity.

MBM Creates Holiday Videos!
Considering our offices are in Atlanta, GA and near San Francisco, CA, dreaming about a white Christmas isn’t very practical. But the classic movie starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen is a favorite regardless. Like this movie, Jim and I both love all things old. While not fitting under the vintage […]
Mapping Creativity Pt. 2
After Jim attended the Mapping Creativity #fieldtrip hosted by Creative Mornings, we had more than a few conversations and email exchanges about it. Talking about different ways of simply getting ideas out of your head started a whole new discussion. After including our good friend, colleague, and lead video editor, David Robinson, he shared this […]
Mapping Creativity
I’ve always loved maps. Anytime a book has a map I spend hours pouring over it, imagining the world that is represented from that idealized bird’s eye view, seeing relationships between places that enhance and deepen my understanding of the story being told. When I travel I always study maps of the place I’m visiting […]
A Better Way Diagram
As a visual content production company, we produce a lot of great work, but we don’t talk about it enough. Much of our work is created in a vacuum and after a project is done and delivered, I hate to admit this, but it’s often out of sight, out of mind. That’s going to change. […]
