We were approached by photographer Emily Shur to pull together a promotional shoot for Audible in Boston. That’s photography and video. Over the holidays. In six days. Spoiler alert: we pulled it off.

So how did we do it? Well, it was no Christmas miracle – it was thanks to the extended Versatile Family. The job itself called for a monochromatic background against which Emily planned to shoot motivational speaker Mel Robbins – so we provided all the digital equipment and technology, and tapped our network in Boston to assemble a local photo and video crew, as well as wardrobe stylist, Hair & Makeup, and art department.

Many gallons of paint later, we had an entire set of teal‐colored household items, from kitty litter trays to running shoes, a series of beautiful images and video, and one happy client.

Our studio in New York took care of post‐production for both photography and video, and the client was thrilled – we pulled together an entire shoot in another city in less than a week, barely stopping to raise a glass of festive cheer along the way.

In other words, Happy Holidays all around!
