Behind the Scenes (BTS) videos capture everything that occurs off camera on the set of a video production. A BTS video offers a unique perspective on the effort, energy, and ethos of a video production crew. It allows us to provide our audiences with a greater appreciation and deeper understanding of exactly what we do.

Behind the Scenes videos lets you put a face to the name and get to know the people who produce all the videos here at Launch Media. Our polished company highlights and emotionally charged nonprofits features are meant to convey the gravitas of a video’s message. And, while the execution of those grandiose shots is often serious and complex, those moments are often accompanied by laughter, spontaneity, and a lot of heart.
