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.

REIMAGINING BIRTH AT MLK
Showcasing Excellence at MLK Community Healthcare
We were thrilled when our friends at Allied Global Marketing reached out to us for a special project: capturing the remarkable work being done at MLK Community Healthcare. Over the course of two days, our team had the privilege of documenting the newly redesigned maternity ward and the vital services provided by this outstanding facility.
A Behind-the-Scenes Look
From the moment we stepped through the doors of MLK Community Healthcare’s facilities, it was clear that this was more than just a hospital; it was a community dedicated to caring for mothers and their families. Our crew worked meticulously to stage lighting and set up interviews with doctors, midwives, and patients, each sharing their unique experiences and insights. The warmth and dedication of the community were evident in every conversation we captured.
In addition to the interviews, we filmed b-roll across multiple properties, ensuring we highlighted the full scope of the hospital's state-of-the-art facilities and compassionate care. Every shot was crafted to tell the story of MLK Community Healthcare’s commitment to improving the health and well-being of the Los Angeles community.
The Heart of Healthcare
The redesigned maternity ward at MLK Community Healthcare is a beacon of hope and excellence. Through our lenses, we aimed to showcase not just the physical transformation of the space but also the profound impact it has on the families it serves. The interviews and b-roll footage come together to paint a vivid picture of a place where medical innovation meets heartfelt care.
We are proud to support and share the incredible work being done at MLK Community Healthcare. Their dedication to serving the Los Angeles area is truly inspiring, and we are honored to have played a part in bringing their story to life.

FUN IN FRANKFURT
Flying to Frankfurt with Enterprise gave us an appetizer of German culture, customs and more. We saw firsthand how global mobility is woven into the fabric of EHI’s culture. We followed Anna Lee from the Frankfurt airport all the way to her hometown in Rüdesheim am Rhein where she shared stories, traditional food and attire before we lifted off into cable cars above local vineyards.
Upon Arrival
We explored the exquisite Frankfurt main train station. This industrial beauty is known as the busiest train station in Frankfurt. Built in 1888, it’s impressive how well it stands the test of time. The neoclassical architectural style was just a taste of all that was to come in the following days.
Next we traveled along Frankfurt am Main to catch a stunning vista of the city. Being a hub of design, culture, and food, this was the perfect place to learn more about what the country has to offer and how Anna may have spent her time while she worked at the Frankfurt airport.
Frankfurt was a wonderful mix of new and old in a culture that’s ever-evolving. Our first few hours were filled with mapping out the city by foot. We explored neighborhoods, enjoyed a glass of their ever-famous Riesling wine along the river and admired the historical architecture.
Once we made it to the small town of Rüdesheim am Rhein, the team enjoyed carbs as we watched Bācker Dries share their baking process with us. Anna’s mom joined us for lunch before the group headed up the vineyards in cable cars to check out the scenic views.
To wrap our weekend in Frankfurt, we visited the Deutsches Filmmuseum with a permanent exhibition on the various aspects of film. They also hosted a temporary exhibition on Stanley Kubrick. All-in-all it was a great shoot that left us waiting to visit again soon.
That’s a wrap!
JUMPING IN WITH JOHNSON & JOHNSON
New York. San Francisco. Toronto. New Jersey.

Most people think of band-aids and babies when they think of J&J but the company is deeply committed to the future, exploring how technology and innovation can help us lead healthier lives. Listen to Sharon Yoo, Breanne Halzcyk and share more about their roles and how it’s making a difference.
