Creo Productions

This video floored me at a retreat this weekend. It's video clips from the BBC's Planet Earth series, set to the sounds of Sigur Ros's "Hoppipolla." Wow. If you haven't seen it, please watch.

Here's our second video edit for Chemical Bank and Gravity Six Alliance...enjoy!

Last night, Design West Michigan and AIGA featured "a Dialogue About National Design Policy Initiatives." For designers, these excellent organizations are helping further your cause.

We've also produced "A Case for Good Design" for DWM, a video case study examining the creation of Whirlpool's Duet washer/dryer system, and how design impacts its business.

Check out the new video for Chemical Bank and the billboard installation. The creative was done by Gravity Six, and we shot and edited the video. Kudos to Chemical Bank for supporting Michigan...

Check out the animated video we created for Zondervan for The Inklings of Oxford. Intrigued by reading the book and creating the video, I read Tolkien's The Hobbit on the honeymoon in Mexico. Enjoy...

Today is our third anniversary at Creo Productions.

We started as two young entrepreneurs working out of a room inside a rented house, touting around two portfolio pieces, video gear, an Internet connection, a few computers and phones.

In the beginning, each project saved the company.

They always seemed to arrive just in time.

Three years later, we find ourselves working in an up-and-coming neighborhood we love in downtown Grand Rapids, with a growing portfolio of clients and projects and relationships we’re proud to call our own.

It’s been a wild journey, one that has brought with it great highs and lows, joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, accomplishments and failures, new lessons and affirmation of age-old truths.

And we recognize that Creo is not an island.

We’re part of many communities, made up of specific groups of people—companies, non-profits, creatives, artists, organizations—who have partnered with us in the common vision of storytelling and communication.

We’re fortunate to be alive and growing, and know we don’t take that for granted.

Thank you, to our wives, family, friends and supporters, for exactly that: your support, affirmation and encouragement along the way.

Thank you, to our clients, who believe in the work they do, and entrust us to show the world.

Thank you, Grand Rapids and West Michigan, for embracing us.

Thank you, to everyone who has made the beginning stages of this journey possible, who have helped us catch the vision for what’s next. The list of the people who have been good to us is too long to list, and has come in many ways and forms, often when we need it most.

We hope to pay-it-all-forward in the future.

Interesting development this morning for Grand Rapids and Artprize.

We'll be shooting and coordinating a team of documentary videographers to shoot Rob Bliss' Artprize entry, titled, "The 100,000 Paper Planes and Melodies Over Monroe Project."
