Travel Vlog: Out West with Corazón Latino & the Forest Service

Written by Jon Abrahams on . Posted in Blog, BTS, Docu-Style, Feature, Government, Travel.

One of the best parts of the work we do at Jpixx is that sometimes it takes us to some pretty incredible places.

For this latest adventure, Jackson and Trey headed out to Arizona with our longtime partners at Corazón Latino and the U.S. Forest Service. Working alongside Stacy, Felipe, and their team is always a highlight for us. They’re doing meaningful work connecting communities to public lands and protecting the places we all care about—and we’re grateful to help tell those stories.

This trip is part of a growing series of travel vlogs we’ve been sharing from the field. It’s a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at the places we go, the people we film, and the moments that happen in between the official shoots.

One thing we’ve learned over the years is that you don’t need a massive film crew to create cinematic work. Our approach is to stay small, nimble, and collaborative, which lets us move quickly, travel light, and capture authentic moments as they happen—while still delivering the kind of high-end results our national clients expect.

And honestly, projects like this are just fun. We get to spend time in beautiful places, meet people doing inspiring work, and collaborate with partners we’ve worked with for years. That kind of trust and shared mission always makes the work better.

The final edit from this trip is shaping up to be one of our strongest pieces yet. In the meantime, here’s a look at the adventure.

SERVIR Global | Space To Village – NASA / USAID from Jpixx LLC on Vimeo.

Project

  • The Servir Global Government Agency combines the technology of NASA satellites with USAID world aid to help developing countries detect weather patterns and extract other critical information for implementation.
  • Our client DAI, an international development company, wanted to give viewers a five-minute video to help explain what Servir, the relatively new government agency, did and its importance for the world community.

What we did

  • Our team documented a sampling of ongoing Servir projects and traveled to several locations such as Nepal, Bangladesh, and their U.S. headquarters.
  • Through countless interviews, we recorded first-hand testimony from those working with the program. We captured their passion, heard the process, and saw the results of the team effort.

The Jpixx Factor

  • Our small team of four multi-talented crew members assumed multiple roles from make-up artist, to producer, to sound mixer, acting as a nimble traveling team.
  • We organized filming permits, pre-planned equipment lists for customs, and coordinated all of the logistical details for each country.
  • Through our docu-style filming and artistic planning, we compiled days of footage and crafted our edit into a cohesive story. Our team worked tirelessly to refine the edit and ensure we delivered a message Servir staff could use to represent them for a decade to come.

Follow Up

  • The video was shown at a prominent industry event, viewed by members of the international community and Servir staff. The viewing was met with success and reverence by the audience.
  • For the first time in the ten-year existence of the program, Servir teams had a communications tool that accurately represented the impact that they made.
  • This video, which we have updated several times, is still used as a primary resource for Servir to explain what it does and to gain additional support.

VFS About Us

Project

Virginia Foundation Solutions needed a video to market themselves, display their story, and let future customers know why they have a personalized edge in foundation construction in the Hampton Roads area.

What we did

We planned several shoots to capture their staff in action, document their workflow, and illustrated the strength and confidence their brand represents.

The Jpixx Factor

We learned about the company’s culture through attending company-wide events and meetings. This allowed us to gain a personalized look that helped delve more into the owners’ stories and the company’s brand.
