EP 10

It’s been a minute since I last posted on the blog, about a week off. As I continue my work, It’s always motivating to know that my creations resonate with others, especially when it’s among such talented people. 

One of the biggest things on my plate right now is a project I’m incredibly excited about. I’ve been chosen to create an image that will be displayed in the newly renovated courthouse here in Peoria, Illinois. The project is particularly special because it’s going to be a huge, 19-foot wide by 8-foot tall wall piece. The image we think will work best at this point in time is a sunset shot of our city with the courthouse in the middle ground. This is more than just a photo as it’s going to become a part of Peoria’s history. I’m pumped about being able to contribute to something so meaningful, and it’s truly an honor to have my work showcased in such a prominent public space.

In addition to that, I’ve been busy creating some call to action ads for a client of mine in the flooring industry. These ads are designed to address and face and highlight the practical benefits of his services. It’s always fun to get creative with these kinds of projects and see how effective a well crafted ad can be in driving attention and business. You will see that he wanted something that was creative, funny, and super basic that people would resonate with.


 

So, while I’ve been away from the blog for a short time, the work hasn’t stopped, and I’m more ready than ever to keep progressing forward.

Welcome to my blog! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Chris LeCrone. I’m a marketing student at Bradley University, and this blog is the result of a little nudge (okay, requirement ) from my Social Media Marketing class.  At first, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this assignment, but as I’ve thought about it more, the idea of sharing my thoughts and experiences as a creative has grown on me. Let’s face it - sometimes journaling can be therapeutic, and putting my process into words might even help me grow... Before we dive in, let me give you a quick intro to who I am. Just kidding... This blog isn’t about my life story... It’s about my journey as a photographer and videographer within my business, exploring the messy, unpredictable, and exciting process of creating something "meaningful". If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my career so far, it’s this: there’s no single "right" way to do creative work. Whether you're behind the camera, working in...

This weekend, (Capital Painting Inc) wanted to showcase their expertise with a set of high-energy social media ads for a new construction hospital project in Darlington, Wisconsin that they have been working on for a few months. To bring their vision to life, I traveled three hours north, equipped with my drone, camera, and extra necessary gear, ready to capture both the interior and exterior of their finished work. The goal was to produce three distinct videos... One focusing on the interior, another on the exterior, and a third that blended both elements. Since they wanted a trendy, fast-paced style, I used a mix of smooth gimbal shots, aerial drone footage, and high-energy transitions to emphasize the precision and professionalism of their work. The interior shots highlighted the clean lines, vibrant finishes, and attention to detail showcasing not only their paint work but the setting of the hospital itself. The exterior footage showcased the scale and quality of their commercial p...

  (Warning, this may be boring.)  This past week, I wrapped up another commercial project. The project was a 15 and 30 second TV commercial for Strong Law Office that aired during the Grammys on CBS and will also play locally during the Super Bowl locally on channels and streaming services. Seeing something I created on television is super cool, but getting there took a ton of planning, execution, and attention to detail. It all started with a phone call from Todd's secretary, as they really liked my style when searching for a video production company. Todd and Becky his secretary were a pleasure to work with, giving me ideas but ultimately giving me full reign over my creative abilities.  Story boarding and scripting took the most time for this project, making sure we captured Todd's presence as a "superhero" attorney. I brought in one of my contractors for lighting and a second hand for filming... From there, we planned a mix of handheld shots for a cinematic, perso...
