WHAT CAN WE OFFER
At River Roots we provide our clients with all the resources needed to complete their video projects from start to finish. This includes pre-production and visualization, filming and execution of project, and post-production services.
EQUIPMENT
Choosing the right equipment for your project is one of the most important parts of creating a lasting and professional product. River Roots will provide whatever cameras and equipment are most appropriate for our client’s needs. We film with everything from Red Weapons to Go Pros and GSS/Cineflex systems.
PRODUCTION
From providing support developing ideas and conceptualizing projects all the way to product completion, River Roots brings the best equipment, software, and industry-proven workflows to every project in order to produce cutting edge content for our clients. We specialize in providing a complete range of services from start to finish. The difference between a good project and a great project often comes down to post-production details. River Roots offers the professional knowledge and experience to make your project great.
EQUIPMENT
Aerial perspectives are exciting, refreshing and help tell the complete story. We encourage our clients to consider this option as it provides greater visual impact and creates a higher production value for the final product. We offer a variety of aerial options and solutions in order to capture all angles.
THE CREW
The most important park of each project is assembling a team that can provide the full range of professional skills necessary to create a truly lasting finished product. Each individual on the River Roots team brings a special set of skills that allow us to take on any project.
