Anchor Films

Anchor Films Anchor Films specializes in TV Commercials, Digital Ads, Brand Films, and Commercial Photography

Anchor Films is a full service production agency based in the Midwest. We’ve dedicated ourselves to doing good work--not just in the films we create, but in the way we create them. This means that we are committed to practicing excellence in our craft, but it also means we’re not just punching a clock when we show up in the morning: we’re bringing a deep sense of purpose. We’ve got vision, resourc

efulness, and a whole lot of imagination, but that’s just the beginning. Our process is relational, not transactional--we see ourselves as an extension of our partners’ teams, sharing their stories in a manner that best captures the essence of their brand. And we approach these projects the only way we know how: with an eye for the exceptional and a tireless dedication to quality.

We’re excited to share the new Mastercard spot we filmed just 3 weeks ago!

Big shoutout to all who helped bring the commercial to life and for the hard work on the quick turnaround—in time for the Super Bowl 🏈

Anchor partnered with ad agency, , to create a Brand Film for —a global Japanese brand that makes energy-efficient tankless water heaters sold in 79 countries (see the full video at our website).

The results spoke for themselves, but the process, too, made an impression. Rinnai’s Senior Director of Marketing, David Federico shared this:

“We chose Anchor Films to help us make a video honoring the people who make our company a success. The video was highly impactful, and our leadership team was extremely happy with the results. Anchor had a proven ability to complete projects like the one we needed, and they delivered a high-quality product within our tight parameters. We will certainly leverage Anchor Films for future video and production needs.”

When you have a critical project, who is your first call? Here at Anchor Films, we’re collaborators at heart. And we’d love to help bring your vision to life. So drop us a line if you’re needing a trusted partner.

Lighting setup from Concept #1 in the previous post.

12x12 overhead lit w/4 strobes, 1 strobe behind the subject giving a subtle flare, and one more strobe up front in a beauty dish adding shape.

For the gear nerds, four of the strobes are Profoto B10X Plus’s and the other two are B10X‘s…all connected via Bluetooth to an iPad controlling output. Chimera softboxes and beauty dish, Canon camera & glass…R5 paired with the 50mm f/1.2 for the portraits (but this BTS was likely shot on the 16-35mm f/2.8).

We shoot tethered to CaptureOne and always work with a 1st Assistant to ensure exposure/ focus/etc are on point, and to dial in the “look” in real time so we don’t have any surprises in post.

Feel free to comment or DM with any questions!

We don’t always shoot interviews, but when we do we like dope setups.

Check out this recent outdoor setup that checked all the boxes…

1. Modern environment = high brand image

2. Private space = comfortable subject

3. Overhead shade = not a sweaty mess

4. Lighting setup dialed = pro look

5. Audio close & clean = clarity in message

6. Organized gear = efficient production

7. Comfortable chairs = happy clients

HOT TAKE… People are tired of boring team photos!

Inspired by the cover shot of Apple TV show “Slow Horses” (look it up…it’s great) Valbruna Stainless reached out to Anchor to create team photos in a similar style. Here’s one of five setups we shot at their facility.

Think their team was stoked? You bet.

Did it make an impact on company culture? 100%

What’s the takeaway? Dream bigger. Get inspired. Create something different for your company.

And hire Anchor to bring your vision to life. 🙃📸

Our very first client was a steel manufacturer. 10 years in and we’re still shooting in these environments. Seeing firsthand the hard work and incredible technology used to produce steel is awe inspiring.
