I can’t believe we have been established a little over a year and have created content for such great businesses and organizations. The stories we have been able to share have been amazing; Richmond is truly for the passionate entrepreneur.
Today, I’m excited to share a great video we filmed a few months ago for another RVA business, Vana Chupp Studio. Vana has created a business that takes photographs of family, pets or moments in time to create beautiful silhouette jewelry and treasured heirlooms. Who wouldn’t want a timeless silhouette necklace of their kids or pets? She and her entire team put in a great amount of care and compassion for every item they create and are driven for the best customer experience.
We were able to film this video that shares the brand’s values and mission. Vana created the business 14 years ago creating every piece at her house. Her hard work turned into a great success and she now has a team that’s equally passionate about the business. Their team was a joy to film as well as the beautiful pieces they created in their studio.
Check out the final video below and learn more about the Vana Chupp story.
It’s been a while, but that’s because we have been BUSY! As COVID-19 restrictions are lifting, we have been fortunate to work with a lot of amazing business owners to help with their video needs.
Today, I’m thrilled to share with you the work we did with Skylark Hammocks. We are very lucky to have met this small business in the mountains of Waynesboro, VA. The owners Jonathan and Seth are so giving and full of life. There are many businesses out there that are just ‘side-hustles’ but very few are true passion projects like the one they built together.
We knew we would love the products, but little did we know how much we would love the team! Jonathan and Seth have been friends since high school and are both social workers by day. They are always helping others and can often face difficult situations with their professions. These two wanted a way to counteract social work and created a company with the motto ‘an intolerable lack of seriousness’ to allow others to let loose and relax. They decided to make high-quality hammocks with the best quality and hand make them with a ton of heart.
First, they start with high quality fabric and make the hammock much longer than the traditional size to offer extra room. Then, Jonathan cuts and dyes the fabric with vibrant colors that’s artistic and detailed-oriented. Lastly, Seth sews the hammock and bag together that’s ready for shipment. They also go to a variety of festivals and love introducing their hammocks to others. We even got to sit in them and test them out. I was instantly relaxed and did not want to get up! That is saying a lot because I do not relax easily.
I hope you love the video that goes over so much more of their story as well as learn about the amazing people behind the brand!
Richmonders who have lived here for a while typically know the name Richbrau. It has so much history and heart, so we had to capture those elements when filming their video story. I remember going to the old Richbrau in college and always having a good time. It was surprising when they closed down but clearly you can’t keep this name closed forever.
We always want talk to the owners and know and the ‘why’ before we film anything. This allows us to get in a personal and driven mindset when filming and editing. It was clear how much the owners Matt, Hank, and Brian took such a detailed approach into all the aspects when re-launching Richbrau. They wanted to pay a homage to the original Richbrau and Richmond with a new vision.
When history and modernity mix, it is heartwarming. We had to capture the uniqueness of this mix and focus on how much they want to keep the history of Richmond and Richbrau while moving forward in a modern facility and innovative beer. To hear their story, check out the video below to learn more.
