Von History

In 1996, we formed Picture This Productions; we got the name from a NY phone book.

In 1998, we did our first same day edit, before we knew what it was called.

In 2004, we presented the same day edit concept at a WEVA Expo after winning several WEVA CEAs.

It didn’t draw the biggest crowd back then, most thought we were crazy. It is still a thriving part of our business today.

We are probably best known for teaching “Moving Camera Techniques” and our cinematic style.

Von Facts

We both grew up in rural Illinois farming communities.

We both have musical backgrounds.

We got married at 18 & 19. Whew, we were young.

Every job we have had has contributed to what we do today.

We now have four great kids, our oldest daughter married in 2010.

We love working together and living out our dream.
