Panning Up - A Filmmaking Podcast
Filmmaking is a complicated endeavor…but it doesn’t have to be out of reach! Panning Up is here to remove the barrier to filmmaking and talk about the tools and techniques that a seasoned film production company utilizes as well as the challenges and difficulties that we overcome! After 15 years in business and decades of experience in our team, we’ve got a range of perspectives and backgrounds ranging from film school to the school of hard knocks. We’ve traveled the world, visited nearly 50 states, and yet after all this time our tools and techniques are still an ever-changing tundra. So join us for our little adventure as we 1) discuss poignant film topics, 2) break down one of our completed projects, and 3) come up with a unique project idea on the spot! We hope you enjoy the ride…and we hope you learn something. I know we will!

Today, we break down one of our favorite vocations videos, completed for the Archdiocese of Chicago back in 2021. As we speak with director Cody Hilliard, we find out what decisions went into the pre-production process, and whether the initial concept worked or didn't. Then, in the second half of the episode, we receive a prompt by which we construct (in 30 minutes) a video concept on how to fundraise for restoration efforts on St. Patrick's Cathedral, in New York City. Let's jump right in!

Stabilization is one of the most common and divisive film topics on our team. We have "Gimbal Gearheads", "Steadicam Apostles," and those who just love the good ol' tripod!
