ADD-ONS
If I’m the one shooting for you, we need to talk in advance about gear we need to assemble, pack and bring for your shoot day, depending on the type/style of video you want:

Limitations vary by area, but we can fly up to 400 feet above your location in the city! Take a look at these descriptions for city use as well as for drone fees and usage in state parks to decide.

| COSTUMES, SETS & PROPS | We need to chat about these well in advance of your shoot. They take pre-production time and budget to round up, rent or build.

ABOUT ME – ROBERT!
Hi, I’m Robert and I’ve worked in multimedia and programming for more than three decades. I’m usually one of the most low-key peeps at McGrew Studios, but this page describes what I can make for you! More about me, my specialties and my usual vfx rates here.
I worked at the Salt Lake Tribune for more than 20 years as a multimedia developer, photographer, videographer and journalist. For fun, I’ve made hundreds of crazy videos and games, mostly to amuse myself and my bandmates. I’ll make vids for you, too, if we’re a good fit. My sample videos show a big range of what’s possible with editing, VFX and animations. As you can see, I love copyright-free archival footage. It makes me laugh and I use it a lot!
I spend a lot of my time working as a programmer and web developer, and on films when friends and colleagues persuade me. I compose and edit music plus I play all kinds of instruments. When you see someone drumming in these vids, that’s me!
