MapleXO Brand Story Video: Sustainable Product Video Production

Storytelling Video Production for MapleXO

Shields Films partnered with MapleXO to create a documentary-style brand film highlighting the craftsmanship, creativity, and sustainability behind one of Portland's most unique lifestyle brands. MapleXO transforms recycled skateboards and skateboard manufacturing waste into handcrafted jewelry and accessories, giving discarded materials a second life through thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship.

Rather than creating a traditional commercial, this project focused on authentic storytelling. Through cinematic interviews, workshop footage, product details, and environmental portraits, the film follows the journey from discarded skateboard materials to finished pieces that carry the colors, history, and culture of skateboarding.

The result is a brand story that connects customers to the people, process, and values behind the products while showcasing the artistry that makes every piece unique.

Brand Videos That Build Connection

Today's consumers want more than product features—they want to understand the mission, values, and people behind the brands they support. Documentary-style brand films help businesses communicate authenticity while creating an emotional connection with their audience.

At Shields Films, we produce brand story videos that help companies:

  • Build trust with customers

  • Highlight company values and mission

  • Showcase craftsmanship and expertise

  • Differentiate from competitors

  • Increase engagement across websites and social media

  • Strengthen brand identity

  • Support product launches and marketing campaigns

Whether you're a startup, manufacturer, nonprofit, or established brand, compelling storytelling can turn customers into advocates.

Sustainable Brand Storytelling

The MapleXO project is an example of how powerful storytelling can elevate a product beyond its function.

MapleXO's products are made from recycled skateboards and industrial skateboard waste, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and creative reuse.
