DYNEX Technologies + PROGEN

You surely know me for crafting polished still imagery for brands and commercial clients, but you might be surprised to learn that I bring the same precision, narrative, and compelling visual impact to motion; like this recent promotional video I produced for DYNEX Technologies, showcasing their medical laboratory testing equipment and announcing a new industry partnership.

DYNEX has trusted me to capture stills for their marketing and leadership for years, so when they approached me to film this promotional spot, I was excited to be entrusted with the creative freedom to bring their script to life.

After the usual planning and scouting, all shots were completed in one full day of filming, including all scripted imagery along with B-roll vital to tying all shots together.  Post-production was carried out in collaborative stages, and was completed in time for DYNEX to exhibit the promo alongside live product demos at tradeshows to begin the year announcing their new partnership with PROGEN.  This project also provided the pleasure of once again working with a voice actor in addition to the on-screen talent.

Videography is a creative and technical skill I love being able to exercise in visualizing my perspective and share it with the World.  2025 was my most videography focused year in recent history; looking forward to the next vivid video project!
