Small businesses in Boston face the unique challenge of standing out in a crowded market. From the hustle of downtown to the charm of Charlestown, local businesses need to find innovative ways to engage their audience and build a strong connection with their community. One of the most effective ways to do this is through video marketing.

Since our honeymoon in Norway Sam and I knew that we wanted to come back and for more than just a vacation. We were quite sure that this wasn’t an urge to pack up and move, but rather a void we needed to fill for a new type of adventure. We thought that if we were able to, one day, it would be great to be able to live in Norway, or somewhere new and cool like Norway, for a month out of every year.

Wow it’s been over a full week since my last blog. I think that has been my longest gap since I embarked on my new goal of writing new blogs more often back in May.

When the team at Somerville Youth Soccer approached Bunker Hill Media to produce two video assets, we knew immediately that this was a special project. At Bunker Hill Media, we love creating stories for organizations deeply committed to their mission, and Somerville Youth Soccer exemplifies that passion. They wanted two videos: one introducing their broader mission and values and another highlighting their youth camps, clinics, and commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). This project would require creativity, precision, and an eye for capturing the essence of a vibrant, supportive community.

Film marketing has become a powerful tool in connecting brands with their audiences on a deeper, more emotional level, and at the heart of any great video is a compelling narrative.

In the world of event videography, the game has changed dramatically with the introduction of drone technology. No longer restricted to ground-level shots, videographers can now capture stunning, cinematic footage from above, offering fresh perspectives that traditional cameras simply can’t match.

In this blog, we’ll explore why investing in drone videography for your next event is a decision worth making.

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, where attention spans are shorter than ever, the ability to tell a compelling story through video is essential for businesses. At Bunker Hill Media, we understand that storytelling is more than just a technique; it’s an art form that allows brands to connect with their audiences on a deeper level. By effectively weaving narratives into corporate video content, businesses can convey their mission, values, and offerings in a way that resonates emotionally with viewers.

Audiences crave genuine content that resonates with their experiences, emotions, and values. At Bunker Hill Media, we understand that storytelling is not just about presenting facts; it's about weaving narratives that capture the essence of who we are. Here are some key techniques for creating relatable and authentic video content that connects with viewers on a deeper level.

With the ability to engage audiences and convey messages more dynamically than text or images, businesses are investing heavily in video production. While this may be true, many companies overlook the potential of their existing video assets. I’ve found that so many videographers are protective over their raw footage and I’ve never understood that. Honestly, if a client wants raw files to be completely honest I really never worry that they’re going recreate something that is better than what I was able to for them.

In some of our most recent, biggest projects we’ve been asked to deliver final polished edits as well as raw footage - here’s why we always say yes. Delivering raw footage for your clients to repurpose into edits on their end is a win win. They get more content out in the world on their platforms, and you get more visibility to your work. They’re going to use these assets for quick hits on social - things that will really help their visibility and business. In turn, those added eyes on their projects fuel their budget to get you on an other edit - or even better shoot.

Last weekend, we had the exciting opportunity to film JPPilates and MyStryde’s inaugural outdoor collaboration class, and it was nothing short of epic! Per usual with any project we’ve done with Jenn! The combination of fresh air, dynamic workouts, and community spirit created a perfect setting for us to showcase the essence of both brands.

It has come to my attention that some people might actually read these blogs… if that is the case and I’m not typing this out to no one… HELLO TO MY FANS! Just kidding! But really I wanted to write this blog to APOLOGIZE for all the typos and just plain bad writing you may have come across in past posts. While I am fully aware of the responsibility to show up in a very professional manor in any way I can while representing Bunker Hill Media I have to admit that I have taken some liberties while crafting these blogs.

I’ll never forget the moment I walked into Saint Chapelle in Paris. I had never had the wind knocked out of me before and it’s rare that I find myself speechless for over a minute but that is where I found myself moments after cresting the stairs to this beautiful, light-leaking-through-glass-filled room. My father and I were both brought to tears and Sam and my mom were both also struck by the beauty of this 14th century treasure. It was incredible. It will forever exist as a core memory of my life and I’m so thankful for that small momentous moment in time.
