A Video Shoot with Us = One of your Favorite Work Days

Finding the right video production team can make all the difference between a stressful project and a memorable one. We like to think our little team of “Stokies” stands out as a beacon of creativity, warmth, and professionalism in the Fort Collins video production industry. Who says we can’t make a rad video that helps your business grow while also making fantastic memories? Here are three compelling reasons why collaborating with Stoked Ember is not just a job – it's an experience you’ll share around the water cooler for months to come.

Producer AJ Works Hard and Plays Harder

If you know him then you know this is true. Stoked Ember’s co-founder and resident producer may seem like all business over the phone but get this man on set and he’s a riot. AJ has a passion for good stories and in order to have good stories, you have to take big risks. He’s lived a lot of different lives and lived to tell the tales, which is what makes him such a fantastic interviewer for brand videos and testimonials. 

His enthusiasm for other people’s lives and stories is contagious. So is his laugh. AJ transforms every video set into a playground of ideas with his unique ability to infuse every conversation with a sense of joy and excitement. With his help and coaching, your stories and passion for your business will come to life, and we’ll be there to capture it all on camera. 

Fostering a Team-Player Mentality

For us, teamwork isn't just a buzzword—it's a way of life. This family-run business consists of two husband-wife duos committed to doing life outside of work as teammates. Basically, our Stoked Ember team values communication and compassion over everything. We believe that the most successful projects - in life and work -  are born out of a collaborative effort, where each team member's strengths are embraced and utilized to their fullest potential.

We actively cultivate a team-player mentality with our clients, too, ensuring that everyone involved feels valued and appreciated. This approach not only leads to smoother production processes but also results in a final product that reflects the collective brilliance of the entire team. When working with Stoked Ember, you're not just part of a project; you're part of a family, where collaboration and mutual support are the cornerstones of success.

No Stress, All Success: Planning Ahead with Precision

In the effort of true transparency, we didn’t nail this one in our early days. But we learned we have a thorough and exceptional pre-production process now! As one of our co-founders says way too much, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I’ll spend four of it sharpening my ax.”  Because we’re team players, we’ll sharpen our axes together to ensure we can properly capture your vision in video form, with the least amount of stress and mess. 

From script development to logistics and scheduling, we’ll work together to plan as much as we can before ever hitting “record”. Our proactive approach ensures that everyone is on the same page, potential challenges are anticipated, and solutions are already. You can trust that your project is in capable hands, allowing you to focus on delivering your best performance without the unnecessary distractions of on-set chaos.

Working with Stoked Ember isn't just another work day– it's an opportunity to create something extraordinary. Join the Stoked Ember family, and let your creativity soar to new heights.
