Searching for someone that could visually communicate the emotional story of one mans fight for his slimmer self, NDP, Richmond, VA chose Richmarc to help tell "Eddie's" challenge. Eddie lost nearly 250 pounds with Bariatric Surgery at St. Francis and a total revamp of his lifestyle. 

The first shoot day consisted of Eddie detailing his emotional journey and his first-hand experience with St. Francis. Day 2 was loaded with action shots of his active life today, from cycling across Indiana and participating in the Hilly Hundred to illustrating his first love, a prospering landscaping company which he was able to reclaim, with his son and daughter, after his weight loss success. Our creative partner from San Antonio, Michael Bowie, Director/DP, (5point6 Studios, Inc.) shared his vision and direction and teamed with Claire Libbing, Producer, to lead this collaborative effort. Cutting and post work was done at Park Group, with lead editor Nick Kleczewski.  We caught a break on weather too...a perfect "blue bird" day! Tom Pielemeier piloted his jib capturing both cycling shots and beautiful landscaping images. Camera car angles caught Eddie cycling through the woods.  A gorgeous residential location depicted Eddie, back at work at his landscaping job. Eddie's story was an inspiration to everyone on the crew. Allison Douglass, on craft service shared some of her healthy recipes with Eddie, including her delicious and healthy soups and salads which were part of her signature craft service on this project. Thanks Allison for doling out your top secret recipes. 

"I was hesitant to work with a production crew I was not familiar with on my first project with a new client, but I am so glad I took a leap of faith. Starting with our initial planning calls all the way through the shoot, the team at Richmarc did a great job making me and my client feel at ease. I would definitely recommend them and look forward to future projects," stated Whitney Pratt, CD, ND&P.
