A little about us.

Think Out Loud is an Emmy-nominated media company whose work has been featured on The Atlantic, National Geographic, HBO and CNN.  For over a decade, Think Out Loud has helped both private and public clients share the story of their brand.

Collaborators at heart, we strive to meet the needs of each project while crafting visually rich narratives that compliment a client’s work, issue, or cause. From concept to completion, TOL has everything you need to script, produce, shoot and edit the perfect project. We specialize in web and non-fiction content, but love tackling projects of all stripes. Drop us a line and let’s think out loud :)

What We Do.

  • Development

    At Think Out Loud, we believe powerful storytelling doesn’t take anything for granted. Collaborating with our clients, we chart a bold vision for our narratives and underscore the importance of impact. We work side by side to understand exactly what the product needs to look like based on goals and audience. We dig deep into understanding the content, while using our storytelling expertise to suggest the most effective creative approach to reach those goals - creating scripts, storyboards, and production schedules that plot a course for success.

  • Production

    Whether it is filming a magnificent vista or a staged interview – the approach is the same. Our goal is to achieve a natural look that doesn't feel overproduced, but still maintains the highest cinematic quality. Our studio utilizes the best in industry standard cameras, lenses, audio gear, LED lighting, gimbals, and drones. Producing programs for both TV and theatrical release, we ensure that all our productions are up to broadcast standards, even if they are finishing on the web. Through years of experience shooting around the globe in rural locations, we have also developed packages that carry a small footprint while packing a big punch.

  • Post

    For post-production, we work with a team of professionals running on high-powered software. We offer innovative editing with a collaborative review process - as well as animation and motion graphics that bring any story or explainer to life. Our finishing partners for color correction and sound mixing are former in-house post-production gurus at the Discovery Channel whose work has been internationally recognized for its high quality. Our team has collaborated on many projects and know how to work with clients to make the editing and post-production process straight-forward and hassle free.

 

Our Clients.

We work with a diverse set of clients, ranging from large federal agencies to commercial companies and NGOs. These are just some of the great folks we've collaborated with over the years.
