One of the only scenarios you’ll ever catch me working in an office setting, shooting @thesydneymartin for @wearloveandwar , too much fun 🤞

A Week In The Life Of A Videographer Starting An Agency : @create.underthesun This is a big one - Thank you to everyone who hired me the week I shot this video, this was supposed to be more BTS of the business side but when @corylovesyou texts you for a shoot - you go. Sunday - @absolutelagree 1 year anniversary shoot Monday - was spent on the phone as Monday’s go now Tuesday - Editing shorts for @wearloveandwar website Wednesday - @vondutch Black Friday shoot Thursday - @vondutch & @coryleckiefinancial editing day Friday - @wearloveandwar gifting shoot Saturday - @benfisherteam Rancho Holiday Market Sunday - @jarrett.killen 1st shoot for his album roll out. And not pictured somewhere in this week we started a magazine ad with our good friends @keenramps I’m going to go to sleep now that I’ve stayed up all night editing this & scheduling it at 7am while the sun rises, more things soon 🤞 I’m just happy to be here ❤️ @create.underthesun Also if you read this far we’ll still take $300 shoots, on our terms 😂

BTS on 35MM by @stealingminds - on set w/ @longbeachamp & @thehometownhorses

A few extra’s that didn’t make the cut from @formulad this weekend where we shot, edited & delivered 5 edits in 24 hours for @longbeachcec - we’re very grateful to be here 🤞 thank you everyone.

@briannamellon shot for @wearloveandwar 🦋🌸💛

We find it sort of ironic that we forgot to post this, and the reasoning behind that being we’re acting out this skit in reality - we’re booked, we’re busy, and we love it! Thank you to everyone keeping the machine running, we’re only a couple of months away from our 1st birthday & are preparing to reflect the love & happiness you all show us straight back onto you. Now to exit the algorithm & return to the editing suite to shine light on more of our amazing clients, and lay these invoices to rest. 🪦 THANK YOU! Talent - @zackshoots & @urmissinglinkk

You’ll say we’re behind..we’ll say we were enjoying our Valentine’s Day 🌹 To follow up our video with @corylovesyou , we also had the pleasure of sitting down with @missjuliakelly & hearing a bit about her opinions on Valentine’s Day. Thank you again to Julia for doing a second take of this, as even the best in the business @create.underthesun , is liable to make some mistakes here and there…🥲 Photo - @corylovesyou Talent - @missjuliakelly Video - @_smithcody / @create.underthesun BTS - @_yv14

Happy Valentine’s Day from Under The Sun Studios 💘 This year we sit down w/ @corylovesyou to hear about her best Valentines experience, ideal vday date, and what type of person you’d need to be to keep up with a talented & driven woman like her. Oh, it’s also Cory’s birthday today, we didn’t plan to make her a birthday video the universe just handed us that one 🤞 HAPPY BIRTHDAY CORY!! We’re happy to have met you and to have the opportunity to highlight your creations 🫂 Talent - @missjuliakelly Photo - @corylovesyou Video - @_smithcody / @create.underthesun BTS &. Additional footage - @_yv14 (who also has a birthday today, happy birthday Yuni!) #valentines #love #create #createdwithlove

Rode my skateboard today with my friends 🫂 thank you @natekleindotcom for this rare capture. #Skateboard

From a kid with a Hi8 camera in Ohio - to living in California, shooting skateboard ramp commercials with a S.O.T.Y. This one goes out to everyone who’s ever booked me - thank you all, I wouldn’t be where I am without your continued support. 🫂🙏 This video, also serves as its own little love letter to @keenramps Thank you, @corydkeen for the continued opportunities, the advice, and the support - from launch day of UTS & the months that have followed. Having people like that in your corner makes it feel impossible to fail. Really grateful for everyone I’m surrounded by, and for the people who continue to book, support, and believe in the work ☀️ Looking forward to 2026 with all of you ❤️ Still making our own way pops 🫂🤞

They were right when they said team work makes the dream work 🫡☀️ Today’s ground breaking ceremony with the @longbeachamp was a success! Big thanks to our amazing team for another great day Under the Sun 🏄‍♂️ #behindthescenes #longbeach #productioncompany #creativeagency #creative

You thought we’d shoot a video with the Mayor and not have BTS? C’mon Huge thank you to @hillstreetfilms for tagging along to capture this one, and to @badgirlgoodkarma for keeping the shoot running smoothly while I focused on directing and getting the shots. Now, story time for you - while @badgirlgoodkarma , @corylovesyou , @dale_do & @_smithcody go shoot the Ground Breaking Ceremony for @longbeachamp (We’re here now, what a coincidence this post lined up on the calendar with it 😉) OCTOBER 15th 2025 Call time was 4:15. Two hours prior to shoot, we’re told the Mayor has a hard cutoff at 5pm. No problem. 45 minutes. Two videos. Shot list ready. Script ready. We’ll make it work. We arrive, team sets up, waiting on the Mayor - Oh, we have to scrap that shot list...script needs some adjustments as well. Alright, let’s do it. 🫡 Mayor arrives at 4:30, busy guy - can’t hold em’ Hard stop at 5. 30 minutes. Two videos. Nice to meet you, sir - let’s get to work. Despite the challenges and the time constraints, we crossed the finish line. Last week, you saw the announcement of the Long Beach Amphitheater, opening this June. Huge shoutout to Erin & Emily, and the entire @longbeachamp marketing team for believing in Under The Sun - not just taking a chance on us, but continuing to work with us afterward, including bringing us on for the @longbeachcec We’re excited to see where this relationship goes in 2026 - things are looking very bright ☀️ Six months in..as we’re releasing a video we shot three months prior with the Mayor announcing a new venue for the city. It might not mean much to anyone else, but to me - my heart is happy. I feel at home. Thank you. ☀️
