Capturing the Mission Behind Healthcare: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at CHI Health Center’s New Orthopedics Facility

Recently, we had the opportunity to provide Omaha marketing video production services for CHI Health Center in Omaha, Nebraska. We worked with the team from CommonSpirit Health to capture B-roll footage for a marketing video highlighting their new Orthopedics facility.

At thinkMOTION, we believe some of the most powerful stories come from places where people are cared for, healed, and given hope.

There is something exciting about filming a brand-new building. A new facility represents more than just a new space. It represents growth, innovation, and a commitment to the community.

A Passion for Healthcare Video Production

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with many hospitals, healthcare organizations, and medical professionals.

The amazing thing is…is that every healthcare video project is different. But they all share something important. They tell stories about people helping people.

Hospitals are filled with incredible stories. They are stories about doctors and nurses who dedicate their lives to helping others. They are stories about advanced technology improving patient care. They are stories about families experiencing some of the most important moments of their lives.

Our goal is always the same. We want to capture the heart behind the organization and show the mission behind the work.

From hospital expansions to new service lines and patient-focused campaigns, we love creating videos that help healthcare organizations connect with their communities.

The Excitement of Filming Something New

One of the most exciting parts of this project was filming a space that was still coming to life. There is a unique energy inside a new building before the doors officially open. Every detail matters. Every person on site is working toward the same goal.

This shoot definitely had its challenges. When we arrived, the facility was still being finished. Furniture was being moved into place. Landscaping crews were working outside. Artwork was being hung on the walls just before we needed to film those areas.  But even THAT is exciting. We love to pivot. Get creative. Reorder. Refilm.  It’s what made this shoot so memorable AND working with incredible marketing team at CHI.

Building Relationships Through Video

One of the best parts of our work is meeting new clients. Fresh thoughts. Fresh ideas.

Working with the team from CommonSpirit and CHI Health Center was an incredible experience. We are excited to see how they use the final video to introduce this new Orthopedics facility to the community.

Looking Forward to the Final Video

After years of creating videos for healthcare organizations, we continue to be inspired by the people behind these facilities.

The dedication and passion found in healthcare are truly special. These are stories worth sharing.

We are grateful to have been part of this project with CHI Health Center and CommonSpirit. We cannot wait to see the finished marketing video and how it helps showcase this incredible new facility.

If your organization is looking for Omaha marketing video production services for a healthcare campaign, facility opening, corporate story, or promotional project, we’re ready to work with you. Let’s create something!

Catering Creations Makes Magic | Omaha event video

July 31, 2026

Why We Love Working with Long-Term Clients Like Catering Creations

When we are making an Omaha event video, some clients become more than clients. They become friends, partners, and part of our story. That’s exactly how we feel about Catering Creations.

We’ve had the privilege of working with their incredible team for many years. Every event reminds us why we love what we do. Last year’s Zoofari at Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo was another opportunity to capture their work through photography and it was just as rewarding as the first time we worked together.

Zoofari is one of the zoo’s premier fundraising events. It brings together hundreds of guests for an unforgettable evening that supports wildlife conservation and education. The energy is contagious. The setting is beautiful. And the food is always exceptional.

Great Food Deserves Great Storytelling

One of our favorite things to photograph and film is food.

Every plate created by Catering Creations is a work of art. The colors, textures, and presentation all reflect the care that goes into every meal. Those details deserve to be captured just as carefully as they were prepared.

Of course, there is one challenge.

Filming incredible food all day tends to make us hungry. Fortunately, one of the perks of working with Catering Creations is that we occasionally get to enjoy what we’ve been admiring through the lens. And it’s DELICIOUS!!!

When we’re producing an Omaha event video, we aren’t simply documenting what happened. We look for the little details that others might miss. The chefs putting on the finishing touches. Guests gathering around beautifully prepared stations. Conversations shared over a great meal. The smiles that happen naturally throughout the evening.

Those are the moments that tell the real story.

Relationships Make the Best Projects

Equipment matters. Experience matters. Creativity matters.

But relationships matter most.

One of the greatest compliments we can receive is when a client invites us back year after year. That kind of trust isn’t built overnight. It’s earned by consistently showing up, delivering quality work, and genuinely caring about the people we serve.

We’ve never seen projects as one-time jobs. We see them as opportunities to build lasting partnerships. We learn what matters to our clients. We understand their brand. We anticipate the moments they’ll want to remember before they even happen. It’s one of the most exciting parts of our job!

That’s why returning to work with Catering Creations always feels special. Every event feels familiar, but every story is different. Every menu is unique. Every guest brings new energy. And every event gives us another opportunity to create photographs and an Omaha event video that reflects the passion, professionalism, and hospitality their team brings to every occasion.

We’re incredibly grateful for the trust Catering Creations has placed in us over the years. Long-term partnerships like this are something we never take for granted.

Thank you for continuing to invite thinkMOTION to tell your story. We can’t wait for the next event, the next celebration, and the next opportunity to capture another unforgettable experience together.

Archdiocese of Omaha | Omaha event photographer

July 26, 2026

omaha event photographerOmaha event Photographer

Every event has a story to tell, and one of the things I enjoy most as an Omaha event photographer is finding those moments that often go unnoticed. This past Memorial Day, I had the privilege of photographing the annual remembrance ceremony at Calvary Cemetery for the Archdiocese of Omaha. It was a morning dedicated to honoring the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget.

Hundreds of people gathered beneath a brilliant Nebraska sky to remember those who served. Veterans, members of the Knights of Columbus, clergy, families, and community members came together with a shared sense of gratitude and respect. While the ceremony itself was moving, I found myself equally drawn to the quieter moments unfolding throughout the morning.

As an Omaha event photographer, I’ve learned that the most meaningful images aren’t always taken from the center of the action. Sometimes they’re found on the edges of a crowd or in the expressions of someone quietly reflecting. A child standing silently beside a parent. Veterans exchanging knowing glances. A family pausing before a memorial. Even the American flag seemed to wait patiently until a light breeze caused it to wave gently above the crowd.

POWERFUL STORIES

Those are the moments that often tell the most powerful stories.

The morning was incredibly sunny, creating both beautiful opportunities and unique challenges for photography. Bright sunlight requires careful attention to exposure, composition, and timing, but it also adds warmth and vibrancy to every image. As the ceremony unfolded, I looked for ways to balance the grandeur of the event with the intimate emotions being shared among those attending.

One of the reasons I love event photography is that no two assignments are ever the same. Whether I’m documenting a corporate gathering, nonprofit fundraiser, religious celebration, or community event, my goal remains consistent: capture authentic moments that preserve not only what happened, but how it felt.

Working with the Archdiocese of Omaha has given me the opportunity to photograph many meaningful events over the years, and Memorial Day at Calvary Cemetery stands out as one that reminds me why photography matters. Images have the ability to preserve memories long after the ceremony ends, allowing future generations to see the gratitude, reverence, and unity that filled the day.

Being an Omaha event photographer means more than simply documenting a schedule of events. It’s about anticipating emotion, noticing details that others may miss, and creating photographs that help people relive meaningful experiences for years to come.

It was an honor to spend Memorial Day morning with the Archdiocese of Omaha and everyone who gathered to remember those who gave everything for our freedom. I hope these photographs reflect not only the beauty of the ceremony but also the quiet dignity, reflection, and appreciation that defined the day.

If you’re looking for an Omaha event photographer who specializes in capturing authentic moments for nonprofit organizations, churches, businesses, and community events, I’d love to help tell your story.

A Night of Wine, Food, and Horsepower at Porsche of Omaha

As an Omaha event photographer, nights like this remind me why I love what I do.  It was the best of all worlds. People. Food. And really, really cool cars. Porsche of Omaha hosted an exciting gathering filled with energy, conversation, and an appreciation for both heritage and horsepower. From the sleek  Porsche with flowers in the trunk welcoming guests at the entrance to the vibrant classic yellow 356 shining under showroom lights, every piece of metal and chrome  told its own story.

Omaha event PhotographyOmaha event photographyomaha event photographyomaha event photographer

What I enjoy most about evenings like this is the blend of lifestyle, luxury, and just candid human interaction. Not only was one guest an avid Porsche lover but we also had a great conversation about lenses! Right up my alley.  Guests admired engines, shared stories, and sipped drinks as the glow of sunset hit the dealership’s signature red sign outside. Inside, it was bustle of Porsche trivia and some really great wine!

One of the greatest joys of being an Omaha event photographer is the diversity of clients and stories we get to tell and capture. One minute we’re documenting meaningful moments for the Archdiocese of Omaha, and the next we’re photographing some of the most iconic vehicles ever built. They’re all stories that need to be told and with one click of a camera. Snap. Captured.

Events like this remind us that every project has a heartbeat and a story waiting to be told. And we’re grateful to tell those stories for the good people of Porsche of Omaha and all our clients who trust us with their most important moments.

Whether it’s classic cars, community celebrations, or corporate gatherings, being an Omaha event photographer means capturing the spirit of every occasion—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.  I was going to end the blog post with, Now…getting ready to start your engines…but I decided not to (insert wink here).

Midwest Agriculture Filming | thinkMOTION

The Beauty of Harvest Season and the Power of  Midwest Agriculture Filming

When we are knee deep (literally) in Midwest agriculture filming, there’s something timeless about the way autumn settles across the Midwest. Fields turning gold and trees that are so saturated with reds and oranges that’s it almost unreal.  This season always reminds me why I fell in love with visual storytelling in the first place. Growing up, fall wasn’t just a change in weather; it was a change in pace, a chance to slow down and notice the details all around me. I noticed each color and each leaf that fell.

Today, as a filmmaker, those details continue to inspre me, especially when I’m out on location capturing stories rooted in the heartland. Midwest agriculture filming has a unique magic to it. You’re not just documenting a process—you’re preserving heritage, hard work, and the rhythm of the land.

Recently, a simple nostalgic moment sparked a deeper reflection on how many families share traditions built around harvest season. Whether it’s gathering leaves, preparing Thanksgiving dishes, or watching the crops come out of the fields, these memories deserve to be captured. That’s why midwest agriculture filming resonates so strongly with audiences: it bridges generations, connecting past experiences with present-day storytelling. When we film agricultural life, we’re capturing more than visuals; we’re capturing emotion, culture, and community.

Cranberries!

At thinkMOTION, our work often brings us into the fields, barns, and small-town spaces where these stories unfold. And this one? Cranberries!!!! What better crop to capture a season…and sooo close to Thanksgiving. Every project we do is a chance to highlight the dedication of farmers and the beauty of the environments they steward. Midwest agriculture filming allows us to cinematic ally capture everyday moments like dust trailing behind a tractor, hands sorting grain or hands holding cranberries.

As fall arrives once again, I’m reminded how powerful these stories are, and how grateful I am to help preserve them through our lenses. And, man, these cranberries were super good.

Fun fact: The don’t grow in water but on vines. They flood the fields so the cranberries rise to the top. So cool!

thinkMOTION | A Nebraska Video Company

July 26, 2025

We’re proud to be a Nebraska video company rooted in Omaha—but we don’t stay put for long. Some of our favorite projects have taken us to small towns, open plains, and bustling cities all across Nebraska.  Hired by Websedge, a video company with London roots that specializes in creating TV shows and online channels for large-scale associations and their conference, we found ourselves in South Sioux City Nebraska filming the Fire Department.

There as a fire the night before. Everyone was a little on edge. Worried. One of their brothers had a ceiling fall on them during the fire and was in the hospital. ‘He hurt his neck’, they said. Nobody really knew how it was going to go down, it was too early to tell. But…there we were. Ready to film. The show must go on. As we were filming the Chief, the firefighter that was in the hospital walked in the door. Everyone could breath again. Myself and my other crew member looked at each other with a smile. The Chief gave him a huge hug and the other firefighters were all relieved.

I think it was at that moment that I had a momentary thought: ‘These guys run into burning buildings. These guys save lives. They are first responders! And what do I do? I just film people. I just point a camera and hit record!’

But, then I reminded myself, ‘Wait! WE get to the tell the story about the people that run into burning buildings. That save lives. That have burning ceilings fall on them and live to tell about it.’

It isn’t nothing. We all have our part in this crazy complex world and it was our honor to film the heroes at the South Sioux City Nebraska fire department!

We Travel

From capturing the heartbeat of a nonprofit in Kearney to telling the story of a family- in Scottsbluff, we believe every corner of the state has a story worth telling.

We love getting out of Omaha and meeting people where they live, work, and create. There’s something special about filming in a wide-open field at golden hour, or setting up a shot in a historic downtown that’s full of character. We feel that being on the road every once in awhile fuels our creativity and keeps our storytelling fresh.

And our passion doesn’t stop at the state line. As a Nebraska video company with a national reach, we’re looking forward soon to film in the great states of Wisconsin, Wyoming, Michigan and beyond. Whether we’re working with local startups or national organizations, our goal is the same—craft cinematic, heartfelt videos that resonate.

No matter where the road takes us, we’re always proud to bring Nebraska-made storytelling to the screen. Let’s hit the road and create something meaningful together!

Tips for Doing Interviews

Tips for Doing Video Interviews in Omaha

May 16, 2025

Over the years we’ve collected Tips for Doing Video Interviews in Omaha. In this day and age, being in front of the camera is quite common.  Maybe the filmed interview is for your job, your own business, your passion project, or for the board you sit on.  Whatever the reason for being interviewed on camera, don’t sweat it; we edit.

Tips for Doing Interviews

Interviewing on camera doesn’t have to be nerve-wracking. Here are a few tips to help put your mind at ease and put your best thoughts forward:

  • Wear something the mic can be attached to.  Most of the time, you will be lavaliered  (that’s the tiny microphone that attaches to your collar or lapel).  Having a place to clip it is handy, like a suit jacket or shirt collar.  It can be clipped to a t-shirt or dress, but FYI the wires have to be snaked underneath your shirt or dress, so a shirt is simply easier.
  • Practice what you are going to say. Are we the only ones, when we were kids, practiced our Academy Award acceptance speeches in front of the bathroom mirror? I doubt it!   So feel free to practice what you are going to say.  Talk out loud to yourself or practice in front of the mirror and see what is natural.  Are you more of a off-the-cuff type who doesn’t need or like to practice ahead of time? No worries, we are all about going with the flow.
  • Restate the question in your answer. When being interviewed, if a person is asking you the question, we don’t want their off-camera disembodied voice coming in the video, so say the question again as part of your statement.  Example: “What do you like best about your organization?”  Answer: “What excites me about my organization….”.  Ideal to speak in complete sentences, I mean…it is ideal to speak in complete sentences.
  • Be confident, you’ve got this. Who better to talk about your thing than you?  In this day and age, personality counts.  People want to connect with a person, which is why video is so successful for the project.  Let your personality come through.  You can be both professional and warm or dry, you do you.  If you aren’t peppy, you don’t have to be; if you are peppy, let that shine through.  Sit up straight and away you go!
  • Know where to look. Keeping the correct eye line is important for video and is easy to accomplish.  We will say, “Look at this camera.”  Or “Look at the person off camera,” who is doing the interview.    It’s that easy.  (Here’s a bonus pro-tip for Zoom meeting or interview: look at your computer camera when you talk, not the screen.  It will come across as being personal, and you will be making eye contact with the person that you are speaking to on the other end of the Zoom call, instead of seemingly looking at your Facebook feed while talking to them.)  😊
  • Speak clearly at a normal speed. No worries if you blimp up, just pause and start again.  Restating your thought before you blimp is a way to jump back on your train of thought.
  • If using a teleprompter, warm up your voice and facial expressions. Teleprompter time is a time to read through what you are going to say ahead of time, so you kind of know what is coming next on some level.  Present your info with a tone of voice that fits your project.
  • Voice overs. Maybe you are reading a voice over, definitely practice a few times. We can wait.  Say words clearly, and if you blub one, just backtrack and read that part over again. Because, wait for it…We edit, so you can try again!
  • Let your light shine. Your passions, your experience, your experience, your organization, your business is in the spotlight, so it’s your time to shine on.  Yay, it is nice to know that some things in life can be enjoyable.  So with these Tips for Doing Video Interviews in Omaha..we will do what we do, so that you can be brilliant with what you do! 

Happy Filming!

Why Nonprofit Organizations really need Omaha Nonprofit video services! 

If you’re part of a nonprofit, you already know how important it is to tell your story — and a professional video is one of the best ways to creatively create a story that has IMPACT!  But not just any video. Having a professional, well-made nonprofit video can take your message to the next level and help you connect with more people in a real, powerful way.

Nebraska Arts Council

We love it when clients come back to work with us again. NAC engaged our Omaha Nonprofit video services to create A SEQUEL! One of the most satisfying gigs last year was the opportunity to create a video about the Creative Aging Arts Program (CAAP) and this year comes the sequel.  Here  are a few snaps of us working with the lovely people working at the Benson Community Center.

Omaha Nonprofit videos

A good video does more than just explain what you do — it shows the heart behind your mission. And we are all about heart! Whether it’s capturing a volunteer event, sharing a success story, or showing the real impact you’re making, we can bring your work to life. It gives people a reason to care, get involved, and support you.  We’ll be filming for NAC for a couple of months and we can’t wait to put the video together to tell these stories!

Investing in professional video isn’t just about looking good (although that definitely helps). It’s about making sure your story reaches the people who need to hear it — and inspiring them to take action.

Your mission deserves to be seen, heard, and felt and we can’t wait to work with you.

Why is having a Professional Omaha product video essential to Boost Your Sales!

Let’s be honest—if you’re trying to sell a product today, you need more than just a few good photos and a catchy caption. People want to see your product in action. They want to feel like they’re already using it before they even click “buy now.” And that’s where professional a omaha product video come in.

A great product video doesn’t just show off what you’re selling—it tells a story of how you are solving a problem with your product. AND…it builds trust with your audience. When done right, it makes your product look legit, polished, and way more appealing than just a static image ever could.

Sure, you could film something on your phone, which you should do! Smartphones can be used for social media in a pinch. BUT…there’s the flip side too:  If you want your product—and your brand—to stand out, you need clean visuals, great lighting, crisp sound, and an edit that actually keeps people watching. That’s the kind of stuff that turns a maybe into a hell ya.

Social Media!

Also, don’t forget—platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin LOVE video content. I don’t know about you, but when I see a video that is well shot on social media, I’m immediately drawn in. A  professional Omaha product video can get you better reach, more engagement, and ultimately, more sales!!!!

We’ve seen it time and time again…if you’re serious about growing your business, investing in a professional product video isn’t just a good idea—it’s a must.  We know how to create videos that make people stop scrolling and start buying. Let’s chat and create something together.
