    Premium Crane Brand-Film Timeline

    Under the surface of any video is a colorful timeline. Here’s what our Timeline looked like for Premium Crane’s Brand-Film.

    Our workflow usually stacks like this..

    1. Cut and lightly grade footage.
    2. Build out the story from interviews.
    3. Choose music.
    3. Fine tune story. (Slowing parts down, speeding them up, expanding music where we want to really emphasize a certain sequence)
    4. Sound design and effects.
    5. Final color grade adjustments.

    BKFX Captures Battle Of The Badges

    Here’s a look at how out team handles events like The Battle Of The Badges. Every year we travel to four different locations across the country to capture each match in it’s entirety. Our team has extensive backgrounds in the firearms, competition shooting and law enforcement industries so this was a match made in heaven for us.

Every story is thoughtfully crafted to elevate what matters most. Our pre-production process allows us to know what, when and how we will capture it before production day.
