Food Share Awareness

A Project From the Heart

It's always fun when we can do a project for an organization we are closely involved in!  Our family volunteers on a regular basis with the Bellevue Community Cupboard Project of First Presbyterian Church in Bellevue, IA.


Knowing that there is an abundance of nutritious food available, and that there are people without access to healthy food consistently, the Bellevue Community Cupboard Project strives to provide nutritious food, without the attached stigma of poverty or food insecurity. Food and monitory donations and grants help to fund this project and keep it from having to be "income-based".  We couldn't wait to help tell the story of this incredible ministry that has touched our hearts. Our hope is that those who see this awareness video will be moved to give their time volunteering or their resources to help keep it going. 


Thank you, Bellevue Community Cupboard Project, for allowing us to be a part of this project!


The Technical Stuff

  • For the exterior shots of the church we used a 3-axis gimbal to simulate a jib-arm crane shot. The gimbal has been a great addition to our tool-kit providing steady motion shots in a small package.
  • Close-up shots of the bible pages were captured using a Tamron 90mm macro lens, resulting in very shallow depth-of-field.
  • It was important to us to maintain the privacy of those who benefit from the food given, so all external delivery shots were of BCCP volunteers in their vehicles.

If you’ve taken a look around our Projects page lately, you might notice a little bit of dust. There’s a good reason for that: we’ve been fully immersed in our work collaborating with our clients, capturing their stories and bringing their visions to life! Recently, a project came along that is very close to our hearts. In November of last year, my wife, Candy, stepped into the role of General Manager at River Ridge Brewing here in Bellevue, Iowa. Housed in a historic building, right on the banks of the Mississippi, River Ridge has always been intended to serve as a true community hub—or as we love to call it, "Bellevue’s Backyard." With the brewery's milestone 10th Anniversary coming up this September, the vision for this year was clear: celebrate a decade of local history and continue building those strong community connections. As part of ushering in this new chapter, we decided it was the perfect time to restore the visual identity with a fresh look that recalls that original ideal.
