BE READY WITH DUO
Life Specialty Ventures’ Dynamic Video Shoot in Houston
When Langrand informed us about their partner, Life Specialty Ventures, needing a full-service video shoot in Houston, we knew we were in for an exciting project. What we didn’t anticipate was just how many unforgettable memories we would create along the way.
A Journey Through Houston
Our adventure began with the vibrant city of Houston as our canvas. Over several days, we immersed ourselves in the local culture, discovering unique locations that would serve as perfect backdrops for the video. From lively urban settings to serene green spaces, Houston provided a rich tapestry for our narrative. Our team managed every detail, ensuring a seamless production. We handled casting, selected locations, curated wardrobes and props, and executed both videography and post-production with precision. Each element was carefully chosen to reflect the playful and engaging spirit of DUO Integrated Supplemental Insurance.
Capturing the Essence
As we navigated through different scenes, it became clear that this project was about more than just shooting a video. It was about capturing moments that resonate with the audience, moments that highlight the importance of supplemental insurance in an engaging and accessible manner. The playful spots we created are a testament to this vision.
During the filming of "Ready" and "Surprise," we captured intimate and emotional storytelling. Angela's story of recovery and family support, along with Susan's postpartum experience, showcased love, resilience, and the comfort of having support during life's unexpected challenges.
While filming "Back on the Line" and "Extra Points," we were inspired by the determination of our main characters. Steve, recovering from a stroke, and Logan, bouncing back from an ACL injury, shared their stories with vulnerability and humor. Seeing Steve work in his home garage and capturing Logan's playful spirit on the basketball court emphasized the importance of reliable support, especially during tough times.
The production of "Win-Win" and "Unexpected" took us into the professional realm, where we explored the critical role of supplemental insurance in providing employees with care. The blend of professionalism and personal commitment in these stories highlighted the importance of comprehensive benefits in today’s work environment, adding a layer of authenticity and depth to these narratives.
The Creative Process
Looking back, the shoot with Life Specialty Ventures was not only a professional achievement but also a journey filled with creativity and collaboration. The camaraderie and laughter shared on set made the shoot a truly memorable experience. Each scene, each interaction, contributed to a final product that we are incredibly proud of.

THE "FGLI" FOCUS
Annual FGLI Consortium Conference: A Success in Supporting Students
Each year, the FGLI Consortium organizes a pivotal conference for university and college administrators. This event is dedicated to exploring the best practices and innovative strategies for supporting first-generation, lower-income (FGLI) students.
The Dugud Lab team was honored to join this year’s conference to capture the essence of the event through professional videography and photography. Our high-quality visuals not only documented the conference but also highlighted the collaborative spirit and insightful discussions that took place.
Capturing the Heart of the Event
From the opening keynote to the interactive workshops, our team was on the ground, ensuring every important moment was immortalized. We were particularly moved by the heartfelt stories shared and the passionate commitment of the administrators working to support them. The energy in the room was palpable, and we aimed to reflect that in every shot we took.
Our goal was to create a visual narrative that not only documented the event but also conveyed the profound impact of the Consortium’s work. We believe that every conference has a unique story to tell, and it’s our job to bring that story to life through our lenses.
Why This Matters
High-quality event coverage does more than record proceedings; it amplifies the reach and impact of the message being conveyed. By capturing the right moments, we help organizations like the FGLI Consortium extend their influence and share their achievements with a broader audience. It’s about creating a lasting impression and fostering connections long after the event has ended.
We’re excited to share the recap video and a few select images from the FGLI Consortium Conference below. These visuals not only highlight the key moments but also tell the story of a community coming together to make a difference.
Check out the recap video and a few select images below:

ONE WORLD, ENDLESS EXPERIENCES
Our friends at One World Observatory invited us to the top of the world so the Dugud team (and our agency partner, Allied Global Marketing) could showcase the incredible experience their team provides. The crew captured lifestyle video and photography to highlight the space, the views, the food and so much more. While Dugud was only responsible for production on this project, we had a talented group of camera, HMU and production team members come together to make it all possible.
Check out the teaser videos and some of the photography below. And when you’re downtown, don’t forget to plan your visit to One World.

A [VIRTUAL] PLACE TO CALL HOME
We partnered with Allied Global Marketing and Acorn TV (AMC Networks) for this exclusive interview between Australian actress, Marta Dusseldorp, and television presenter, Gloria Calzada, for Acorn TV’s Latin American market. While we were only responsible for the virtual directing and video capture of this particular project, we couldn’t be happier to have bore witness to this special conversation that took place across three countries - Australia, Mexico & the United States. Of course, afterwards, we binged all of “A Place To Call Home” only on Acorn TV.
THE EVOLUTION OF MSA
In an effort to promote their new focus group report, our partners at Northwestern University’s Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (MSA) asked us to develop a series of videos to highlight the report’s findings. We explored the evolution of MSA through animation and bright colors.

CONNECTED COAST TO COAST
As part of our ongoing partnership with Macerich, we added their network of spectacular digital displays into our local content shoots to capture even more branding opportunities. From the coasts of Los Angeles and New York into the heart of Chicago, Philadelphia and more, we filmed a host of different advertising displays that utilize top-of-the-line technology to connect consumers. We filmed in eight different centers across the nation before bringing it back to the edit bay, and ultimately, here to you. For more information on Macerich’s media network, visit here.
A TALE OF TWO VERONICA'S
In a nod to The Newlywed Game, Neiman Marcus presents “Fashion Matchup: Veronica Beard.” We interviewed the two Veronica Beard’s behind the trendy, Fortune 500 fashion brand. The sisters-in-law answered questions to show us how well they really know each other and even gave us a sneak peek into their upcoming collection.
We produced and cut this playful video that’s as colorful as the Veronica’s themselves. Watch the full video below to find out their answers, including which superpowers each of them wish they had.
FRONT ROW WITH NEIMAN MARCUS
The Dugud team had another front row seat as Neiman Marcus sat down with their team for a stylish video series. Filmed in the historic downtown Dallas flagship store, we chatted with Sonia, Alice, Tim and Jodi as they walked us through what they wore to the Fashion Week shows. Check out the full videos below.
