Branding is a Slow Burn… but a Longer Term Investment

I love commercials. I know… I’m the odd man out. In fact, I’ll share a little secret with you: When I watch TV, I mostly skip the shows and look for the ads. I’ve noticed that big names do branding commercials while small businesses create informational commercials. This got me to thinking and here’s what […]

Why Pay More for Professional Video?

We all know you can get cheap video. From the kid on the corner who is “really into” that video stuff, to the TV station that will produce your commercial for free in exchange for selling air time, to the cookie-cutter production house online, cheap video is not that hard to find. So the question […]

Think Deeply…

When WK started, we had very few jobs, but tons of time, energy, and passion.  We wanted to create amazing video and an awesomely successful company.  As such, we spent countless hours strategizing around a giant whiteboard in the spare bedroom of my house.   We had plans to get new clients and increase our […]

Gary Gruner’s Sock Puppets, Aircraft Instruments and Deschutes 25th

I’ve said it before, and I will say it again.  One of the great parts of our job is the amazing amount of variety we experience in the day-to-day.  One day we are literally hanging out of airplanes as they narrowly escape hitting a rocky, mountain ridge, and the next day we are filming sock […]

Guatemala Habitat for Humanity and Family Access Network

This is one of the most epic projects we have ever had the privilege of working on: The ten days in Guatemala were made more awesome by the incredible Habitat staff, the first-class team from First Presbyterian Church in Bend, OR and of course, the amazing fun film crew that came with us.  Special thanks […]

Cleaners, Marketers and Prayer People

Here’s a few of the most recent projects from the world of WK Studios. We were approached by Cathy’s Cleaners to create an ad highlighting the fact that they had complimentary pickup and delivery. A fast turn around project to advertise a marketing firms series of workshops. A fun video for the Central Oregon House […]

Ideas are the new Currency

As creative professionals, we’re constantly trying to figure out what the market is doing? What kind of creative work is reaching people? Sure there’s the obvious stuff like “that’s a cool camera angle”, or “that’s a great use of that effect”,  but what really catches our eye, (and I believe the eyes of clients and […]

Opportunities and Challenges of the New Video Landscape

  The landscape of video production is changing at an alarming rate. The digital revolution rolls on as standards change from HD to 2, 4, 6, and even 8K.  Sub $5,000 cameras (especially DSLRs) allow the kid down the street to take shots that would have required a full crew less than a decade ago.
