environmental videos

Because it's not always about long videos

Sometimes you just want a professional one-minute of three-minute environmental video for use primarily on YouTube, social media, or embedded on your website home page. Maybe it’s a video about a volunteer or program participant, a cause, fundraising event, or the acquisition of lands for conservation. WorkCabin Creative films has a long history of meeting the needs of conservation organizations for shorter videos too.

Efficient content creation

A growing trend today is conservation organizations leveraging video assignments for the creation of multiple pieces of content. Perhaps you want a couple of reels? Maybe a two-minute video?

Going the content package route is also efficient because we’re already on site for work and can multi-task to meet your content needs.

Perfect solution for internal media libraries

Imagine having a database of 10-second clips of your reserves, research, restoration work, etc., always at your fingertips to retrieve and use for events, social media, presentations, and more.
