The Problem

Great work. Nobody sees it.

Most local businesses do incredible work and show it off with shaky phone clips, or not at all. Sound familiar?

✕

You post when you remember

You're running the business. Content is the first thing to slip, so your page goes quiet for weeks.

✕

Phone clips don't do you justice

Your work looks premium in person. On camera it looks like everybody else's.

✕

Stock footage that isn't you

Customers can tell. Generic clips don't build trust in your crew or your craft.

✕

Agencies that disappear

Big promises, long contracts, then slow replies. You deserve someone who actually shows up.

How It Works

I show up with the camera.
You keep working.

01

We Talk

A quick call about your business, your customers, and your budget. We build a plan that fits, not a one size package.

02

I Film

One focused shoot on your real jobs with your real crew. I stay out of the way and capture enough for weeks of content.

03

You Post

Edited, color graded, ready to post videos delivered fast. You stay consistent and customers keep finding you.

One of you. Set apart.

I didn't start with a camera.
I started with a rig.

I'm Chel. I've been driving trucks since I was 19: tractor trailer, flatbed, and super 10 dump truck. I've also run front loaders, skid steers, Moffetts, and forklifts. Before that I was up in Alaska at 18, working as a quality control technician, where getting it right wasn't optional. Early mornings, long days, real job sites, real crews, and work that has to be done right the first time. A lot of those days were side by side with my dad.

So when I show up to film your business, I'm not a college kid figuring out where to stand. I know how a job site runs, how to stay out of the way, and what your work actually takes. A lot of people want the money and have no idea what goes into the trade. I've lived it. I'm one of you. I just carry a camera now.

"Most people filming the trades have never worked one. I have."

Before the Camera

Real jobs. Real crews.
Real dirt.

This is where I learned how a job site runs. It's why I know how to film yours without slowing anyone down.
