Web-Design

Modern playback UI experience for visitors

Crafting a design meticulously tailored to the distinct needs and branding of the web show is paramount, ensuring an unparalleled and captivating user experience. With the launch of each new episode, website visitors encounter the latest installment prominently showcased alongside a succinct synopsis. Directly below the newest episode, a thoughtfully organized presentation of all previously released episodes is readily available, facilitating seamless navigation for an enhanced user experience.

Cinematography, Editing, Post Production

Balancing authenticity and storyline

In the realm of non-scripted web shows, often dubbed reality or unscripted content, striking a delicate balance between preserving authenticity and sculpting a compelling storyline is essential for capturing viewer interest. Featuring Ben in his trophy room, offering commentary throughout the episode, adds a cohesive and engaging touch, enriching the overall narrative of the episodes.

Promotional Photography

Elevating Experiences with Striking Portraits

Portraits play a crucial role in creating a visually appealing, consistent, and engaging promotional strategy for a web show, contributing to its overall success and audience connection. During this shoot, Ben stood in his tree-stand 20ft up, as an alien-bee strobe was used to cast the light for a visually striking effect.
