Clients Custom Camera Plate For DJI Ronin M Becomes A Real Balancing Act
I have always considered myself fortunate being that I love what I do for a living. In recent years, I have developed a strong passion for photography and video work. This is helpful for several reasons. First, a lot of my most recent projects actually involve a combination of both mediums. Second, it helps me stay fresh by not being stuck behind a computer all day and finally, I believe there is something to be said about having the skills and capabilities to gather your own, raw content. So image having a project come along where you get to practice your passion on a subject matter that is your passion! I know, it sounds good to be true.
Recently, I was contacted by an old friend, Scott Macco, who wanted studio grade product images and how-to videos for his website and e-commerce platforms. The product – The DJI Ronin M!
How did this all come to be? Well, Scott is an engineer by trade and saw an opportunity to build premium custom parts to help filmmakers produce better video. With the help of film-makers, designers, engineers and manufacturing experts, Scott founded and developed RoninFactory.com. His vision is to produce quality products to make filming more enjoyable and affordable. I mean let's face it, this passion we all share is expensive!
I still work closely with Scott in photographing and producing demo and how-to related videos with products that he continues to develop. Our objectives are to both educate the buyer and to move product, but I find the real hidden perk is being to do what I love with a focus on something that I love.
I want to personally thank Scott and RoninFactory.com for their business. We enjoy being your visual content producers and look forward to future projects together.

"A lot has changed since Jared Petrie and I began working together in 2006. Back then, he was a college student. I was a culinary entrepreneur. Today, he’s a busy professional about to become a father. I make films and television. What remains the same is Jared’s incredible work ethic, his commitment, his responsiveness, his integrity, and the trust he has earned from me for always making me look so good. I look forward to working with him for years to come."

Baker Tilly: Covidien Project Overview
Baker Tilly's client, Covidien, was in the middle of implementing and Oracle cloud-based Human Resource Management software called Taleo. Not having in-house video production capabilities and having an established vendor relationship through past projects, I was a natural fit. Our goal was to create video-based case study that Baker Tilly could use in promotional campaigns.
Traveling to Boston, I met with members of the Covidien Human Resources team as well as Baker Tilly account consultants. Together, we started capturing the A and B footage from the storyboard I help the team develop.
Upon my return, I continued to work with Baker Tilly to edit several versions of the video to fit their promotional needs.
Below is one version of the video I created during post-production efforts. This was used in a presentation at Oracle Open World.
