Filming Samples

Wedding Videography

Wedding days go by so quickly that it can be hard to remember all the little details and special moments. With 30 years of experience filming weddings, my goal is to preserve those memories so you can relive the moments and emotions of the day for years to come.

Funerals

I provide respectful funeral filming and livestreaming so family and friends who can’t attend in person can still be part of the service. The service is also recorded as a lasting keepsake of the stories, music, and memories shared that day.

Real Estate

A home is more than a list of rooms and features. A good video tour gives viewers a better sense of the space, setting, and character of the property.

Concerts

I film concerts to preserve the performance and atmosphere long after the final note. My goal is to create a recording that performers, families, and audiences can enjoy and share for years to come.

Promotional

I create promotional videos that help businesses and organizations share their story, highlight their programs and people, and give viewers a feel for what makes them unique.

Corporate

A well-made corporate video can help a business or organization share its message in a clear, engaging way. Each video is shaped around the people, purpose, and story behind the organization.

Media Transfers & Photo Restoration

Videotapes and audio cassettes don’t last forever. As tapes age, picture and sound can gradually deteriorate, and working playback equipment is becoming harder to find. Digitizing video and audio recordings now helps preserve those memories in modern formats that are easier to watch, hear, share and back up. Photographs can also be scanned and restored for future generations.

Photo Scanning & Restoration

Digitize family photographs and slides, repair damage, improve faded images and restore details while keeping the original character of the photograph.

Transfer & Photo Samples

Film Transfer

Bring old Regular 8 and Super 8 movie film back to life in a format that’s easy to watch and share. Optional narration can be added to preserve the names, places and stories that go along with the memories.

Audio Transfer

Old cassette and reel-to-reel tapes can hold voices and moments you may not have heard in years. Transferring them to a digital format makes those recordings easier to listen to, share and preserve for the future.

Photo Restoration

Every photograph is different. Some may have faded or become damaged over time, while others simply reflect the limitations of the cameras, film, printing or early digital technology available when they were made. Photo restoration can improve color, contrast and detail in scanned prints as well as images from older digital and phone cameras, while preserving the look and character of the original image.

About Casey

A lifelong interest in video production

I grew up in Willmar, Minnesota, where my interest in video production began at an early age. My father loved photography and worked as a graphic designer for Lowell Lundstrom Ministries, and I was fascinated by the ministry’s fully equipped television studio and its weekly broadcasts. By age 11, I was already captivated by the process of creating video.

My family invested in a camcorder, and I began filming concerts, basketball and football games, then spending hours editing highlight videos. With little more than a camcorder and a VCR, I experimented with creative introductions and simple graphics while learning through hands-on experience.

I later earned a degree in Broadcasting from the University of Northwestern – St. Paul. In 1997, I began working professionally on weddings, concerts, events, sports and corporate productions. Over the years, editing became my favorite part of the process—the place where individual images, sound and moments come together to tell a story.

Today, through Master Designer Studios, I focus on media digitizing and photo restoration, filming and livestreaming, real estate video and photography, and drone video and photography.
