Outdoor Lifestyle

Our film production team is at home in the outdoors, crafting docu-style, social, and commercial campaigns . We love getting our feet wet and our hands (or sometimes cameras) dirty to capture the angles others won’t.

Key West Boats

Our partnership with Key West Boats began in 2020 with an ambitious project—capturing their entire 14-boat fleet over five action-packed days of filming and photography. One standout moment? A breathtaking aerial shot of all fourteen boats cutting through the Ashley River in perfect formation—one of our all-time favorite drone captures.

"Matt, Brittani, and the rest of the crew at Vive Media have been a pleasure to work with for the last few years. Always professional, providing amazing content which has led to a significant improvement in our impact via the website and print media. They go the extra mile to get the shots, and it shows."

Kiawah Conservation

Kiawah Island’s wildlife is nothing short of extraordinary—dolphins strand-feeding, turtles nesting, birds migrating, and countless other creatures, big and small, shape its unique ecosystem. These remarkable creatures have called Kiawah home long before us, and with continued care, they will thrive for generations to come.

"Wow! You nailed it. I wasn’t sure how this project would take shape when we first pitched the idea. We only knew the Kiawah team was interested in something more nature and preservation focused, and we were open to trying something different. You delivered in a big way. You weren't kidding when you said the footage was incredible. The trifecta—sea turtle nesting, strand feeding, and shorebirds—was beyond what we envisioned. The script came together beautifully, and Jim’s narration adds the perfect touch of authenticity. The final product far exceeded our expectations. Thank you for bringing the vision to life!"
