...and Then Some
Our clients trust us. They know that working with us is a guaranteed home run — because we won’t rest until it’s right.
Complete Campaigns
We started our careers as still photographers so we score big brownie points for our ability to simultaneously execute beautiful high quality stills and video in the same shoot - a bonus for those seeking to stretch budgets, shorten timelines and ensure perfect continuity through your entire campaign - print to broadcast.
Pre-production
From helping with creative direction and concept development when needed, to building sets, scouting locations, casting propping etc... We take care of whatever needs to be done. And we can travel anywhere too!
Shooting
Studio or location, we offer directing, 4K, stabilizers, multi camera angles and beautiful lighting. Quality really matters to us. We've spent our long careers focused on getting it right.
Editing
Building a story that connects the viewer to your brand is what we do best and editing is a big part of that. We finesse, add motion graphics and offer full service post by delivering trafficked spots to broadcast to formatting for web with closed captioning.
We’ve each been doing this for over 25 years, and we’re still in awe of the world.
We’re Renaissance men who have found our happy place in the space where friendship meets creativity.
About Us

Todd Joyce
*****
Gutsy and fearless, Todd thrives when he’s let loose to push creative boundaries. And while his technical skills are unmatched, the softer side is where Todd shines. A master of human emotion, Todd is often described as a therapist — because he somehow always gets his subjects to lay it all out there, thanks to his genuine sense of humor, raw openness and calm and gentle way with people (and dogs).

Tony Arrasmith
*****
Norman Rockwell meets Tim Burton, Tony’s eclectic style and ability to tap into his sense of childlike wonder bring fun, life and energy to every project. A true artist (minus all the broodiness), Tony started out in the still world with a BFA from Georgetown, and has made the leap to motion beautifully, armed with impeccably good taste, his kind and laid-back way and his love for doing good through great work.

Joe Harrison
*****
Ridiculously nice and perpetually sunny, it makes perfect sense that Joe is a master of light. His ability to control light comes from technical skills that have been honed over many years shooting people, products and architecture. Combine that with his innate creativity (and ability to rig literally anything), and we’ve got ourselves a ringer in Joe — here to knock it out of the park as he brings out the best in every project.
OUR CLIENTS SAY
Their ability to create compelling imagery while curating meaningful and effective messaging is a unique skill set not often found in one singular video team. They love their work. They love, respect and value each other and this camaraderie that comes from their decades long relationships and experience, shines through in all they do. You couldn't ask for a more well-rounded and pleasurable group of professionals to work with.
Marissa, Director of Development and Communication
There are so many talented folks in the world, but no one can compare to Todd, Tony and Joe. Their vision, expertise and work ethic make my job easier — AND they make me look good to my clients, which is a beautiful thing! I trust them completely, because I know they will go above and beyond to deliver on everything they promise. Plus, working with them never feels like work. We have so much fun!
Sarah, Creative Consultant
When you work with Todd, Joe + Tony -- they are a true extension of your team. They are creative, reliable and able to roll with the punches on shoot days. They go above and beyond to help make our clients happy. We love when have the opportunity to work together!

Kathy, Director of Marketing and Communication
Never Worked A Day In Our Lives
We’ve heard that our enthusiasm is contagious. And that people love working with us. Maybe that’s because we love what we do — and we love people. The stuff you just can’t fake. And, while we are seasoned professionals with over 75 years of combined experience, we have yet to find a job that didn’t light up our eyes with the same excitement we had on our first job, all those years ago. We’re in awe of the people who make the world go around and we’re inspired by the good we’ve been lucky enough to witness all these years.
