Through cinematic interviews, authentic storytelling, and dynamic b-roll footage, this project was designed to build trust with customers while showcasing the people and vision behind the brand.

By focusing on real experiences and genuine connections, the video helps communicate what makes Selz unique in a crowded marketplace. The result is a polished, engaging brand film that can be used across websites, social media, presentations, and marketing campaigns to strengthen brand awareness and customer engagement.

Nike Swim Collection Commercial Production

Shields Films partnered with Nike to create a studio-based commercial showcasing the latest Nike Swim collection. Filmed on a clean white cyc wall with professional models, the production focused on highlighting the design, performance, and style of the swimwear through dynamic movement, precise lighting, and modern visual storytelling.

The minimalist studio environment allowed the products to remain the center of attention while creating a polished, premium aesthetic consistent with Nike's global brand identity. Through a combination of motion sequences, lifestyle poses, and detailed product-focused shots, the video captures the versatility and athletic performance of the collection while maintaining a fresh, contemporary look.

Commercial productions like this require careful coordination between talent, lighting, styling, and camera movement to create imagery that feels both aspirational and authentic. The result is a high-energy brand video designed for digital marketing, social media campaigns, retail promotion, and product launch initiatives.

This project demonstrates Shields Films' expertise in commercial video production, studio cinematography, and branded content creation for leading consumer brands, delivering compelling visuals that elevate products and connect with audiences.

Personal Branding Video for San Clemente Realtor Joey Leisz

Shields Films partnered with Joey Leisz of Inhabit Real Estate to create a personal branding video designed to showcase his approach to real estate, his connection to the San Clemente community, and the personalized service he provides to clients throughout Orange County.

Rather than focusing solely on listings and transactions, this video highlights Joey's personality, local knowledge, and commitment to helping buyers and sellers navigate one of life's biggest decisions. Through authentic interviews, lifestyle footage, and cinematic visuals captured throughout San Clemente, the film creates a genuine connection with prospective clients before they ever pick up the phone.

Personal branding videos are one of the most effective marketing tools for real estate professionals, helping agents build trust, establish credibility, and stand out in a competitive market. By telling Joey's story through compelling visuals and authentic storytelling, this project gives potential clients a clear understanding of who he is, what he values, and why so many people choose to work with him.

Filmed on location in San Clemente, California, this project demonstrates how strategic video content can help real estate professionals strengthen their brand and grow their business through meaningful connections.

Yakima x Rumpl Artist Documentary Film

Shields Films partnered with Yakima and Rumpl to produce a short documentary highlighting the story behind a limited-edition collaboration blanket inspired by the landscapes of Oregon. The film follows Bend-based artist Adam Haynes, known professionally as Stickfort, as he shares his creative process and the inspiration behind the artwork featured on the Yakima x Rumpl collection. The blanket design celebrates iconic Pacific Northwest landmarks including Mount Hood and the Columbia River Gorge.

Filmed throughout Oregon's scenic outdoors, the documentary combines cinematic interviews, environmental portraits, and breathtaking landscape footage to connect viewers with both the artist and the places that inspired his work. Rather than focusing solely on the product, the film explores the intersection of art, adventure, and outdoor culture, creating a deeper emotional connection between the audience and the brands.

Through authentic storytelling and documentary-style filmmaking, this project showcases how branded content can go beyond traditional advertising to tell meaningful stories about the people behind a product. The result is a visually engaging film that celebrates creativity, craftsmanship, and a shared love of the outdoors while strengthening the connection between Yakima, Rumpl, and their community of adventurers.

This project highlights Shields Films' expertise in documentary filmmaking, outdoor brand storytelling, artist profile videos, and commercial content production for lifestyle and adventure brands.

Wells Fargo Employee Story Video Featuring Amanda

Shields Films partnered with Wells Fargo to produce an employee story video featuring Amanda. Designed to highlight the people behind the brand, the film shares her personal and professional journey while showcasing the impact meaningful relationships can have within the banking industry.

Through candid interviews and authentic workplace footage, the video offers a glimpse into Amanda's dedication to serving customers, supporting her community, and building lasting connections. Rather than focusing on products or services, the story emphasizes the values, culture, and human experiences that define the Wells Fargo team.

Employee story videos are a powerful way for organizations to strengthen employer branding, celebrate team members, and communicate company culture to prospective employees and customers alike. By focusing on real people and genuine experiences, the film creates an authentic connection that resonates far beyond traditional corporate messaging.

Produced for a national financial institution, this project demonstrates how documentary-style storytelling can help organizations showcase their people, reinforce company values, and build trust through authentic, human-centered content. Shields Films provides employee story video production, corporate interviews, and brand storytelling services throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and nationwide.

Documentary Video Production for Paper & Packaging Featuring the DeFrees Family Ranch

Shields Films partnered with Paper & Packaging to produce a documentary-style brand film highlighting the DeFrees family ranch in Oregon and the generations of stewardship, hard work, and sustainability that define their operation. The project explored the connection between family-owned agriculture and the paper packaging industry, showcasing how responsible land management and renewable resources contribute to products used every day.

Through cinematic interviews, sweeping aerial footage, and authentic moments from ranch life, the film tells the story of a family deeply connected to the land. Rather than relying on scripted messaging, the documentary approach allowed the DeFrees family to share their values and experiences in their own words, creating a genuine and emotionally engaging narrative.

Filmed on location in rural Oregon, the project combines beautiful natural landscapes with personal storytelling to illustrate the relationship between sustainable forestry, responsible resource management, and the people behind the process. The result is a compelling brand documentary that helps audiences understand not only where materials come from, but also the families and communities dedicated to preserving these resources for future generations.

This project demonstrates the power of documentary filmmaking to communicate complex industry topics through authentic human stories, helping organizations build trust, educate audiences, and strengthen their brand through meaningful visual storytelling.

Photography that captures authentic moments, emotion, and connection.
