98 West Productions, Inc. Florida - USA

"Bullfrog Spas makes high-quality spas and offers an excellent customer experience, so I was excited to get a call to bid a job with them.

They tapped photographer / director Kevin Winzeler to create a bid for a project showcasing their M1 product line. They tossed around the idea of shooting in Florida, so Kevin called me. As the project became more defined, they decided to shoot somewhere that felt more Midwest, taking us to our production-friendly neighbour, Georgia.

The images were beautiful, shot overlooking a calm lake whose shores are dotted with trees, and neighbouring houses are all but unseen.

Florida is a great home base for a production company because we serve bountiful markets such as Miami and the central Florida corridor, but we are also close to Atlanta, New Orleans, and even Nashville, to name a few.

We look forward to future projects with Bullfrog and Kevin, and hope to work with you soon!"
