Behind the Scenes: Creating WorkFaith’s Training Videos at Downtown Studio Co

Some shoots just hit differently — not because of the gear or the set, but because of the people and the purpose behind it. That’s exactly how it felt when we teamed up with WorkFaith to film their brand-new online training modules at Downtown Studio Co. in Houston, TX.
WorkFaith is a Houston-based nonprofit organization that helps men and women overcome employment barriers through faith-based job training and career development. They teach not just how to work — but how to approach work with confidence, purpose, and integrity. Their programs have helped countless individuals rebuild their lives, find stability, and walk confidently into the workforce with renewed faith and hope.

A Purpose-Driven Production Day

From the moment we stepped into Downtown Studio Co., we knew it was going to be a great day. The studio’s industrial brick walls and natural character created the perfect backdrop for WorkFaith’s heartfelt message. We were there to film two online training modules — “Winning Attitude in the Workplace” and “Accelerating Your Career Growth.” These weren’t your typical talking-head training videos. The WorkFaith team came prepared, full of energy, laughter, and authenticity. Between takes, there were stories, encouragement, and a few jokes that kept everyone smiling. You could tell this was more than just content — it was mission work on camera.
By the end of the day, we all felt that buzz of satisfaction you only get when the footage matches the heart behind it.

The Technical Side (For the Gearheads Like Us)

🎥 Cameras & Glass

• Canon C70 paired with the Sigma 35mm Art — our workhorse combo for clean depth and gorgeous color rendition.
• Canon EOS R with the 24-70mm lens for dynamic B-roll and alternate angles.

💡 Lighting Setup

• Nanlite Forza 500 took center stage as our key light — soft, balanced, and powerful.
• Aputure 60c with a Fresnel modifier and barn doors added a practical glow and shape to the subject.

🎧 Audio Chain

• RØDE NTG3 Shotgun Mic captured crisp dialogue with rich tone.
• Zoom H6 Field Recorder ensured redundant and clean audio throughout the session.

A few extra grip stands, diffusion panels, and small modifiers helped us dial in the look until it felt just right — cinematic, but still authentic and approachable.

​Why Projects Like This Inspire Us

​Training videos are changing. They’re not just internal tools anymore — they’re brand assets, learning experiences, and community resources that help people grow. For nonprofits like WorkFaith, that’s powerful.
They’re using video not only to teach but to transform — creating content that supports their mission, spreads awareness, and gives people hope. And for us, that’s the kind of project that fuels what we do. We’re storytellers, sure — but when the story has purpose, the cameras almost feel secondary.
Our team had a blast collaborating with the WorkFaith crew. They brought warmth, professionalism, and a genuine love for their mission to the set. That energy made the entire production feel effortless.
