What We Do
Buddy Lou Productions is a premium production partner for organizations, agencies and marketers. From stunning visual overviews to comprehensive video strategies, we give teams another tool to communicate and leverage the project vision - across campaigns, launches, submissions, and long-term brand positioning.
Comprehensive production services include concept development, project planning and execution, and post-production including editing and graphics.
If your project includes still images, our President and Founder is an accomplished photographer with decades of experience.
First and foremost, we are here to tell your story. We listen to what you want to accomplish and the production is scaled to fit the scope of your needs. Video has a reputation for being expensive but it doesn't have to be. Understanding the give and take of crew size, services, and post-production is the key to striking the right balance between the level of the production and the cost of a project.
Our Services
-
Video has become one of the most powerful marketing tools available because it captures attention, builds trust, and communicates complex ideas faster than text or static images. Whether you're introducing your brand, showcasing a product, or sharing customer success stories, professional video content helps businesses connect with their audience on a more personal level while driving higher engagement and stronger conversion rates. In today's digital landscape, video isn't just a nice addition to your marketing strategy—it's an essential part of how customers discover, evaluate, and choose a business.

Professional photography is one of the most valuable investments a business can make because it shapes first impressions, builds credibility, and helps a brand stand out in a crowded marketplace. Authentic, high-quality images communicate professionalism and trust while giving customers a clearer understanding of your products, services, and people. From websites and social media to advertising and print materials, compelling photography increases engagement, strengthens brand recognition, and influences purchasing decisions.
-
Aerial photography and drone videography give businesses a perspective that traditional cameras simply can't capture. From showcasing the scale of a facility or campus to highlighting real estate, construction progress, tourism destinations, or outdoor events, drone imagery creates dynamic, cinematic content that immediately grabs attention. By providing viewers with a broader context and more engaging visuals, aerial content helps brands stand out, tell more compelling stories, and leave a lasting impression across websites, social media, digital advertising, and broadcast campaigns.
Meet the Founder
Buddy Lou Productions was started by Dustin Schmidt, a talented and accomplished commercial director with over 20 years experience in both still photography and video direction.
Dustin cut his teeth in the industry as an advertising agency creative director for many years before moving full time into image making. He understands the creative process of how images are made, and more importantly, how they are used to market and sell.
His knowledge of the full creative pipeline means he can spot problems BEFORE they become an issue and instead can help the client focus on producing the best creative output possible.
