Videography · Humboldt County
What it actually looks like in Humboldt County.
Humboldt is where most of the videography work lands. The studio is in Eureka, and we shoot wedding films from Trinidad to Ferndale, brand campaigns across the I-5 commercial corridor, sports highlight reels for Cal Poly Humboldt and the Eureka high school programs, and documentary editorial across the county.
The broadcast-grade cinema setup handles the lighting range Humboldt throws at it, redwood-canopy ceremonies require very different exposure than reception-hall low-light, which requires very different exposure than coastal-bluff golden hour. All in S-Cinetone with consistent grade across cuts.
