"Not Religious... Deeply Spiritual" - The Downtown Vineyard

"The Downtown Vineyard in Grand Junction, CO is a church made up of all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds. We are deeply spiritual and yet very casual. We love God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength. We are fully committed to Jesus and fully dependant upon the Holy Spirit. We like music that moves the soul and strong coffee that soothes the soul. We are spiritual but not religious. We want to be a church to our community not simply another church in our community. We believe that God loves everyone and a person's physical location doesn't always have a bearing on a person's spiritual location. We believe God is engaging people in bars, just as he is engaging people in church, because God is everywhere."

Filmed by Seth Schaeffer of Hoptocopter Films

Pastor Paul Watson and Worship Pastor Tim Nutting featured in the commercial

This is a commercial video production shot in Grand Junction, Colorado.

GEICO Commercial - Pikes Peak International Hill Climb

After a long haul on this Colorado Video Production, we get to post the 2009 GEICO Commercial we did with Layne Shranz on Pikes Peak for the Internaional Hill Climb.  Take a look and let us know what you think!

GEICO powered Pikes Peak Stock Car driven by Layne Schranz heads up the mountain....just a simple "Sunday Drive." Good thing Schranz has GEICO Insurance. Produced pro-bono to help promote the world renouned Pikes Peak International Hill Climb by Chris Nazarenus, Triple Nickel Films (http://www.triplenickelfilms.com) and Seth Schaeffer, Hoptocopter Films (http://www.hoptocopter.com). This short form YouTube film (30 second spot) highlights the 156 turns, asphalt to dirt, 3000 foot drops, a 5000 foot elevation change - in less than 12 minutes on one of the most demanding courses known to man - Pikes Peak. This short form viral film was shot completely on the Canon 5D. GEICO NASCAR driver, Max Papis, was the Official Pace Car driver for the Pikes Peak Hill Climb in this YouTube video. Custom music score: Seth Schaeffer.

Pineapple Crackers - "Take A Ride"

This was the CD Release Show's intro video.  It's probably the most ridiculous thing we've done in a while.  Intentionally bad video, effects, graphics, text, etc... But obviously fun to do.

"156 Turns" - Shot entirely on iPhone 4

Here's our new video we did for Ducati, Ducati Multistrada, Spider Grips, and Greg Tracy at the 2010 Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.  Our goal was to produce the first high-profile film with the iPhone 4.  We're not sure if we were first, but hopefully the biggest first.  Thank you for all of your support and excitement towards this project.

Directed and Produced by Seth Schaeffer of Hoptocopter Films & Greg Tracy of Triple Nickel Films.  Executive Producer, Chris Nazarenus nailed it too.
