MECCA Center // New Construction Fundraising Video

Posted at h in Non-Profit Video


Members of the fundraising committee at MECCA (Muslim Educational & Cultural Center of America) saw the fundraising video we created for the DarusSalam mosque in Lombard, Illinois. With construction well under way for their $8.5 million facility, the Non-profit organization needed a video for their upcoming fundraising event. The purpose of the video was to communicate the need for a new space and show members what the new building will look like.

We filmed at their new construction site and current mosque with our 12′ mini jib, Steadicam/Glidecam, and our High Definition DSLR video camera. We combined all of the footage we filmed with a professional voiceover, music, and client photos/animations in post production. Scripting services and 2D logo animation were also provided by our studio. The entire video was shot, edited, and delivered to the client in less than a week!

Redmoon Theater // Corporate Party

Posted at h in Corporate Video


When we first heard about the corporate party that would take place at the Redmoon Theater in Chicago, we couldn’t wait to film it. To date, it’s one of the most unique corporate events we’ve ever filmed. Guests were entertained by a full interactive theater experience. During cocktail hour, performers delivered Hors d’Oeuvres and cocktails in the most creative way. Sounds of a dixie band played in the background. Then, a Mardi Gras band with confetti cannon finale ushered guests into the Dinner portion of the evening. A group of violinists entertained everyone and an aerial acrobat amazed the crowd. The evening was rounded off with more performers delivering desserts while guests danced the night away to tunes from Don Cagen Orchestra. The whole evening was tons of entertainment, lots of great music, and a lot of fun. We filmed the evening with three of our High Definition DSLR cameras and Steadicam to get the ground flying shots. The whole event was produced by Becky Cagen with Cagen Music.

Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago // Youth of the Year

Posted at h in Non-Profit Video

Sit down with any of the eight candidates who are competing for Youth of the Year and you’ll quickly learn about the inspiration and hope the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago (BGCC) creates. BGCC has clubs in many of Chicago’s roughest communities and provides after school activities for the city’s youth.

This is our second year following the Youth of the Year candidates for the Chicago nonprofit as they prepare for the culminating event at Navy Pier in Chicago. Our crew filmed at three of their clubs and interviewed those club’s candidates. We also filmed two preparation meetings, a final dress rehearsal, and multiple interviews with the remaining candidates and some of the staff. In all, it was five days of field production.
