 Our Story: Visual Storytelling since 2015

At the beginning, all we had was a small camera and big ideas — to stand out, to focus, to be different, and to make a difference.


There were skeptics… Maybe they just didn’t understand.

Over a decade later, Yes. We are still doing that “video thing”.

Agencies, brands… they all took a chance on us.


Maybe our 110% money-back guarantee made the decision easier.

And soon, the team got bigger.


And so did the productions.


The drones got bigger too.
But also… smaller?


The details got finer.
The lighting got brighter.


The stories became deeper.


We rose up alongside our city.


And then struck out beyond…
far beyond sometimes…

The one man band turned into a team.


Together, something greater than the sum of their parts.


We're a group of dreamers, creatives, perfectionists.


Paying attention to the details and learning storytelling
the hard way so you don't have to.


Striving to make every creation better than the one that came before it.

So... what is Vive?
We can't wait to show you.
