It’s Polar Plunge season! Wesley and Patrick captured photos and videos last weekend at the first plunge of the year in Wisconsin Rapids. We will be capturing photo and videos at 5 plunges around the state that raise money for Special Olympics Wisconsin. And maybe Wesley will be jumping at one of them too… 👀 #videography #videographer #videoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #madisonvideoproduction #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction #specialolympics #plungewi
Not every interview happens in an “ideal” recording location - and it doesn’t need to! For this setup at Metcalfe’s Hilldale, we embraced the mid-day grocery store bustle as a backdrop to the interview. We chose a quieter corner of the store and used only our core equipment for a minimal yet effective setup. We brought in the Metcalf’s sign for a nice branded background. We got each interviewee hooked up with a wireless lav mic. And finally, we leaned into the checkout “beeps” as location-appropriate background noise. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
We worked with Jeneil Biotech of Saukville, Wisconsin on this project to create a video for the homepage of their website. In addition to this we created a handful of other content for their new website design. #cedarfilmco #videoproduction #videoproductioncompany #saukville #wisconsinvideoproduction #videoproductionshouse #ozaukeecountybusinesss #milwaukeevideoproduction

It’s Patrick’s Birthday today! He’s also approaching his 1 year anniversary at Spoken Frame Media. Before joining Spoken Frame Media, Patrick spent time freelancing, which included a year in New York working as a production assistant for the Apple TV show “Hello Tomorrow!” Our goals for expanding the team were to increase the efficiency of our productions and the quality of our work. Patrick’s primary responsibilities include: -Managing equipment/packing for production -Setting up equipment for interviews -Operating cameras and audio mixing during interviews -Capturing b-roll footage and photography -Ingesting footage and editing rough drafts Patrick has proven to be an excellent fit for Spoken Frame Media’s culture and core values. He’s passionate about filmmaking and storytelling, has a strong desire to learn, and is personable with clients. We’re happy to have you, Patrick! #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
When we’re not on production, we’re back in the office editing. For Wesley, editing is his favorite part of the job. And not because he has a sick setup complete with two monitors and a color-calibrated display (though that helps). It’s because editing is where the story is found. There’s nothing like the challenge of condensing 60 minutes of footage into 3 minutes of video while still communicating the message. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
In this season of giving, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our wonderful clients who have placed their trust in us. We're also incredibly thankful for the amazing team we've built, a group of dedicated individuals who bring passion and joy to everything they do. We hope you take this time to pause, breathe, and savor precious moments with your loved ones, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you're gathering around a cozy fire, sharing laughter over steaming mugs of cocoa, or simply enjoying the quiet company of those you hold dear, cherish these special moments of connection. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year . . . #mke #milwaukeeartist #milwaukee #milwaukeewi #mkemycity #milwaukeephotographer #wisconsinlife #onwisconsin #milwaukeevideographer #wisconsinvideoproduction #holidayseason
The perfect production vehicle? Hands down, the Honda Odyssey (for us at least). In this shot, Patrick is loading up our gear after filming a conference for the American Parkinson’s Disease Association - Wisconsin Chapter. A huge part of our job is safely transporting equipment to and from the job site. Look closely, and you’ll see we’ve fitted the company car with a custom wooden insert. This helps us to slide equipment in and out easily while still having space to seat five people. Not only is our prized minivan great for longer work trips, but it’s also Wesley’s daily driver. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction

We recently shared our smallest interview set up to date, but what about our most complex? For this interview, we filmed four speakers at once. Here’s how we did it: 📹We shot with three cameras - one wide shot with everyone in the frame and two side cameras with two speakers in the frame at once. 🎤Each speaker had a wireless LAV mic. Plus, Patrick set up some booms for backup. 💡To achieve a far-side key, we used lights on extended boom poles to illuminate each speaker. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
Our smallest interview set-up yet! This interview, filmed for the Wisconsin Collaborative for Rural Graduate Medical Education @wcrgme, was an exciting challenge. Though the location had a great backdrop and audio capabilities, the space was a bit tight. Here’s how we problem solved: To accommodate the small room size, we used smaller light modifiers that took up less space. We used full-frame cameras with wide-angle lenses, which allowed us to shoot in close quarters without distorting the subject. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
Wesley - balancing a gimbal like a pro. Before using an electronic gimbal, we must manually stabilize the camera on all three axes. This means adjusting the position, so when the gimbal isn’t turned on, the camera is level. And when it is on, this helps to not over-work the motor. Plus, it guarantees a stable image. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
@10x10.gallery - a local art shop serving the Madison area and beyond - is about so much more than art. After receiving a diagnosis of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, 10x10 owner and artist - Allana - began creating stickers to raise awareness for young adult cancer. Her creative efforts have since blossomed into a donation-based art shop selling items to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Allana reached out to Spoken Frame Media for help creating a video to enter the Bubblr's "Boost Your Future" contest, where contestants had a chance at winning up to $20,000. We collaborated with her on a one-minute video highlighting her story and her plans for the money. We chose a location with a nice backdrop and natural lighting. Plus, we filmed the video vertically, so it was well-suited to social media. We’re excited to share that Allana secured the second-place prize of $10,000! #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
Is it safe to fly a drone indoors? If you’re a skilled professional and your drone has omnidirectional sensors - absolutely. Flying a drone inside means we must be extra mindful of potential hazards. This drone can sense objects in every direction, making it safe to fly indoors. We especially love this approach for warehouses because it allows us to show off a space from a different perspective. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
Sometimes, the coolest shots are captured from the weirdest of positions. Take this photo, for example, where Wesley got creative in front of a room of 100 people. When capturing video, we’re always trying to figure out interesting angles and perspectives. We don’t want to be distracting, but we will go outside our comfort zones to get “the shot.” #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
Check out our latest innovation - conveyor belt POV shots. After strapping our camera to some cardboard, we sent it down the line to capture shots of this warehouse in action. This client had a creative idea that - with the help of some tape - we were able to execute. We know our tech, but you know your business. Together, that makes for some cool shots. We’re all about collaboration and helping you bring your creative ideas to life. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
This shot of some workplace b-roll was coming up a little too dark, so we wheeled in a battery-powered light to brighten up the space. By bouncing the light off the ceiling, we illuminated the scene and brought more exposure to the shot. So many factors can affect lighting, including location, time of day (or year), and the weather. Rest assured, we’ll bring in reinforcements to get the shot just right. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
We have a saying here at Spoken Frame Media: “If the camera isn’t being monitored, assume it’s not working.” Why? Because the moment you look away, the camera stops recording, the battery dies, or the storage is full (or so it seems). When actively recording, we always monitor audio and video to ensure we get the shot - especially when conducting interviews (as Patrick is so diligently doing in this photo). #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
This summer, we had the opportunity to capture the yearly @careerplug_ summit. Spoken Frame Media flew down to Austin, TX for a day of recording, where we met up with our Founder’s sister, who works for the company. We began by live-streaming the business portion of the conference. Throughout the rest of the day, we captured content to create a highlight video that would recap the event and be used as promotional material for future employment efforts. After a long and productive day, we snapped this photo in front of the beautiful Lake Travis. Thanks for having us, CareerPlug! #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
Check out our interview setup for @wcrgme To help promote rural healthcare jobs to medical students, we filmed a day-in-the-life style video with an emergency medicine resident. For the interview portion of the video, we chose a conference room that was full of natural light. Plus, we opted to feature this colorful wall to make the framing more interesting. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
What started as a workaround for pandemic event restrictions has become an exciting and accessible way to broadcast the Waterford Union High School Graduation. Since 2020, we’ve been brought back to live stream the event for friends and family who can’t make it in person. To get every angle, we film with four different cameras. Plus, we place microphones throughout to capture the speeches, the band, and the choir. Look closely, and you’ll see Patrick of Spoken Frame Media capturing the action on the floor. @waterfordunion #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction
In our efforts to support and encourage local filmmakers, we awarded our first Spoken Frame Media Film Grant to a handful of UW Madison Communication Arts alums. With this grant, we lent the recent graduates $8,000 worth of cameras, lenses, microphones, and lights to help them produce their short film. Here are some behind-the-scenes happenings, but you can follow the film’s progress @in.the.shadows.movie on Instagram. #videoproduction #videography #videographer #madison #madisonwi #wi #wisconsin #madisonvideoproduction #madisonvideographer #madisonvideography #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideography #wisconsinvideoproduction #uwmadison #UWMadison #ShortFilm #BehindTheScenes #FilmProduction

Appreciation post for my girl Cady!! Cady is one of our videographers here at MAV, and boy is she amazing. Cady is the the one who I’ll call and be like “hey I’m doing an engagement shoot tonight, wanna tag along?” and she’ll come and get the best shots ever! She’s always there when I need another shooter, and we have so much fun shooting weddings together. We’re a great team, and she’s one of the reasons this business is where it is now - I couldn’t have done it without her. My clients can attest to the fact that when I’m on the final call with them before their wedding, I’ll brag about Cady like “Cady will be my second shooter, and you’ll LOVE her! She’s the best!” She’s so much of my bestie that she’ll be tagging along at my own wedding as my maid of honor! ❤️ Anyways, all of this rambling to say, I love ya Cady and I wouldn’t be where I am without you! #wisconsin #wisconsinvideographer #wisconsinvideoproduction #weddingvideography #foxvalleywedding #engagedwi #engagedwisconsin

Took the drone out today in search of some open water. Found a little river off of Little Arbor Vitae and had to change my first location as it was already taken by four Canadian geese. They were not happy with my presence and I didn’t want to put them in danger but it was a shock to see life on the river so early. I moved down stream to this idyllic little spot and man seeing that open water made me want to go for a swim. I’ve definitely been inspired by @northwoodscryophiles and I’m looking forward to a nice cold dip. . . . . . #openwater #upnorth #spring #minocqua #getoutside #wisconsinvideoproduction #dronephotography
