Full Service Production Studio
Catalog
Taking what seems to be impossible tasks, and making them possible. Creating insane ideas, and pushing them to even further limits, is what we do. Hop on deck, and see
what we are all about.
Blacksail Sizzle Reel | Short
From filming spec Ad’s, to orchestrating cars jumping over one another, to dropping boulders on vehicles, to traveling all over the world generating content for clients. We have directed and coordinated some absolutely incredible projects. Take a quick look at some of our favorite shots from over the years!
Tigerlyfe Energy | Product Ad
The cleaner energy drink. We have worked with the Tigerlyfe Energy team for a long time now. From product ad's, to full length documentaries, this company is always something special to work with.
Mad Men Barbershop | Santiago
MadMen Barbershop hired us because he knew we were able to create something special for them. Ed was opening up a new barbershop down in Santiago, and he wanted to create a new promotional video for the opening of his shop, something that he knew would stick with people upon watching it.
Ceramic Pro | London
This job ended up being our first time in London. So naturally, we were just excited to be in an environment we’ve never filmed before. We had a small 4 man crew for this one. Geoff our producer, Sam our Director/Camera Operator, Mark our tour guide and camera car operator, and Anthony our talent. We ran through the streets of London creating a lifestyle video for the brand Ceramic Pro. We wanted to deliver something totally different than what they’ve normally gotten in the past for content. We were on a very strict timeline as we were only in London for 2 days (3 days in total, 1 of which being just a travel day), so we had to move very fast and efficiently.
Blacksail Sizzle Reel | Long
This sizzle reel is an extended version from our previous one. It showcases a lot of our hard work over the past couple of years. One of the more notable shoots within this reel is the generations of Jeeps. We wrote, produced, directed, and put together a spec Ad aimed at Jeep showing off the generations of different Wranglers in an emotional way. We compare new vs old, and use the juxtaposition of the son’s vision to see things through his eyes.
Tag Heuer x Porsche | Formula E
Tag Heuer and Porsche are an indomitable force in the Formula E racing world. A brief look into a couple of days with the team.
Fuel Your Senses | Ad
At our company we live and breathe coffee. It's what keeps us awake for those 18 hour days! Motorized Coffee is a brand that revolves around the automotive industry. So for this video we were able to combine in-house studio work with some automotive features we have shot, to really bring this Ad to life.
Fight Life | 2017
Fight Lyfe is a reality T.V. pilot following amateur MMA fighters trying to make it big, while facing adversity every single day. We were tasked with following these fighters around for a few weeks, capturing how they train, life struggles, drama, and what would inevitably lead up to the big fight.
Lexus Race Team | Petit Le Mans
Road America, one of the most well known race tracks in the United States. The energy and excitement there is absolutely incredibly, and every time the Lexus race team arrives, they bring the heat. Capturing their race team in action is nothing short of incredible.
Bad Ash in Hollywood | Ad
Event coverage is a huge specialty and love of ours. The talented DJ Bad Ash is known throughout Hollywood, and we had the opportunity to shoot a re-cap for her from one of her latest events.
GoldRush | Event 2021
Goldrush Rally. One of the most well known automotive rallys across the world. 2021 their startgrid was in none other than New York City. Some of the most expensive and insane cars go on this rally which spans over the course of 9 full days, filled with a ton of driving and insane experiences.
Midnight Gotham
Creating and shooting automotive features is one of our favorite things to do. For this shoot, we decided to wing it and go with no plan, strictly run and gun.
Aerial Cinematics
Drones offer such a unique perspective on filmmaking. With extremely fast advancements in drone technology, the content that is able to come out of these machines is mind-blowing. This is a short compilation of some of our favorite shots.
Amazon Products | Purefinity
Bringing vitamins to life for Amazon listings. Shooting products in a studio is never easy. It requires a lot of thinking and pre-planning to make the shots as dynamic as possible, to keep the viewers attention. We implemented many different food techniques, as well as incorporating an actress into the video to achieve these goals. In addition to all of that, we kept an appealing color palette throughout the video, matched with soft lighting to really make this product pop!
McDonalds Style Ad | Redefine Meals
We were tasked with creating a commercial in-house for Redefine Meals. They needed an Ad that brought them to the next level over their competition. With a combination of cinematic lighting and some pyrotechnics, we were able to achieve that for them.
Racemotive | Event
The Racemotive event was a place where we could really push the limits of our car rig. At this event which was held at Pocono Raceway, we were tasked with the challenge of keeping up with some of the fastest cars on the east coast. We knew we needed to capture this in a unique way, and what better way than to go side by side with some of these insane cars. Our camera car was a modified Toyota Supra MK5 pushing about 700 horsepower. Now, normally these cars don't come with a tow hitch, so we had to custom fabricate one ourselves from scratch, and weld it to the frame of the car. To this day this Supra still has a tow hitch on it!
Tight Spaces | FPV
Drones are one of our favorites tools in our arsenal, especially when it comes to FPV (First-person view). We are experts at one take fly-throughs. This video shows off an Autobody shop running at full speed.
Vertical Farming | Redefine Meals
With new advancements in farming technology, there are many new ways to grow food and crops. In this video we take a brief look into how vertical farming works, and what the future holds for it.
Ceramic Pro | Taiwan
The crazy part of this trip is that we only stayed in Taiwan for 3 days. Taiwan is about a 12 hour time difference from New York, so upon landing, the jetlag hits you pretty hard. Within this extremely tight window of time we had an enormous amount of work to do. But it just goes to show you that even in some of the roughest environments, Blacksail makes it happen.
Transparent Windshield Warranty
Transparent, your aftermarket car care warranty company. They let us have A LOT of fun on their new commercial campaigns. For this commercial we were tasked with dropping a 500lb boulder through a car windshield. This is absolutely no easy task. After sourcing the boulder, we had to safely rig the boulder to a crane to be able to release it onto the vehicle. This took a lot of pre-planning and coordination. On any shoot safety of the crew is the top priority no matter what.
71 Visuals
We met the 71 Visuals family through another client of ours 915 Construction. The 71 Visuals team specializes in building creative environments for some of the most well known brands in the world.
We have been working alongside them for the past couple of years now, and have been generating massive amounts of content for them. Just some of that content includes: capturing the creative environments they build out with video and photo content. FPV drone tours of their facilities. Headshots and content buildout for their website, as well as consultation for upcoming projects and monthly content. Working with the 71 Visuals team is always extremely fun and exciting, just being in the workspace that they are in, makes you want to be as creative as possible.

Side by side
This narrative piece was entirely a one take scene. The viewer watches as the couple gets into the vehicle, and what starts off as a small argument, blows up into something massive. We wanted to really emphasize the dramatics here by doing a very, very slow camera push in, not only to make the space seem small as if you can't escape, but to immerse the viewer with the 2 characters.
Limo ADD Commercial
A new advertising concept brought to life by the owner Archie, Limo ADD was exceptionally fun to shoot and create. Before heading into the city we did a lot of pre-planning figuring out what locations we wanted to go to, what time of day we wanted to hit them (to avoid heavy traffic), and how we were going to shoot everything. The end result looks absolutely beautiful.
Transparent PDR Warranty
Put a vehicle on a golf course? Check. Have a set of golfers tee off on the vehicle? Check. What better way to show off a Paintless Dent Repair warranty than with hundreds of golf ball dents on a vehicle? We loved these Transparent Warranty commercials because it allowed us to add humor to what could be a serious situation.
Defender Safety
Just over the recent past couple of years Defender Safety has exploded in the market, representing a new generation of safety equipment for construction sites, health care systems, and physician offices.
With them growing so quickly they not only needed content for their social media platforms and website, but they also needed advertisements and commercials as well. We rose to this challenge and created some extremely high quality content and advertisements for them. We ended up making their PPE and safety equipment exciting, and fun to watch. In addition to all of that, we had to of course create informational style videos as well. Informational videos are usually a longer form video that go in-depth into a specific product's features, benefits, and any additional info a customer may need. Combining crystal clear high quality audio, beautiful cinematic lighting, teleprompters, and multiple cameras, we were able to create long form videos that keep the viewer locked in.
