For more than 100 years, the Defrees family has been raising beautiful ponderosa pine. Meet the fourth, fifth, and sixth generation foresters on this Oregon ranch and learn why many more generations will follow in their footsteps.
Shields Films partnered with the Paper & Packaging Board’s How Life Unfolds campaign to produce Faces of the Forest: Meet the DeFrees Family of Oregon — a cinematic short documentary celebrating six generations of Oregon forest stewardship.
Our team led the full production and post process, filming on the DeFrees family ranch to capture powerful interviews, everyday moments, and sweeping drone imagery that reveal the deep connection between family and forest.
Through cinematic storytelling, careful editing, color grading, and immersive sound design, we crafted a visually rich, emotionally grounded film that brings the story of sustainable forestry to life and connects viewers to the people who make it possible.
Documentary Style Promo Videos
Documentary style videos can be a powerful tool for brands because they allow the brand to tell a compelling story and convey their values and mission in a more authentic and engaging way. Documentary style videos can also help to build trust with potential clients by showing them the behind-the-scenes aspects of the brand and giving them a more in-depth understanding of what the brand stands for.
Additionally, documentary style videos can be very effective in creating emotional connections with viewers, as they often showcase real people and their experiences. This can help to create a more personal and relatable connection with the audience, which can be especially important for building brand loyalty and engagement.
Overall, documentary style videos can be an effective way for brands to differentiate themselves and stand out in a crowded marketplace, and can be a powerful tool for attracting and retaining clients.
