Red Summit Productions

As a proud NYC company for 16 years, we love working with our local clients in NY. But as the season changes toward sweater weather, we are definitely reminiscing about much warmer days. Who isn't?!

The concrete jungle is our main HQ and we recently were caught up thinking back to a shoot in sunny Miami, Florida where our Senior Producer Ryan teamed up with JetFuel to bring a major grocery store client’s bold and immersive vision to life.

It’s always a pleasure collaborating with teams that bring tons of energy to events, and documenting Jetfuel’s brand activation and live experience was no different. There was no shortage of smiling faces, eager participants, and picture-perfect moments throughout the day.

From guests building their own bouquets and replanting succulents to enjoying the outdoor space and spending time by the pool, the activation gave guests plenty of opportunities to get involved and gave our talented crew of freelancers no shortage of moments to capture.

It was an exciting and memorable experience from start to finish, and we loved documenting the energy, engagement, and memorable moments that made the day one to remember.

Always a pleasure working with the JetFuel team!

Have a live event or production coming up out of state? Let’s talk about how Red Summit can help bring it to life on camera.

A few behind the scenes shots before the magic happens!

At Red Summit, we love bringing our clients’ wildest ideas to life using any and every tool to make it happen. When a major streaming service reached out with an awesome idea, we got to work planning and strategizing ways to bring the project to life. Our green screens gave us the creative flexibility and freedom this shoot needed and we are so happy with how it turned out.

Over the years, we have worked on plenty of productions that used green screens, but it is always exciting to see the process of taking a blank wall and turning it into something completely different every time. With just a few lights, a couple of cameras, and a whole lot of creativity, we’ve learned that there’s almost nothing we can’t make.

There’s a lot that goes into making a green screen production work, from thinking about each detail during the pre-production process to double and triple-checking each set-up during production. It takes plenty of collaboration, problem-solving, and diligence at each step and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

From branded content to corporate videos and everything in between, we’ve used green screens to make each project unique and tailored to our clients' needs. Special shoutout to every member of our crews who help get these projects to the finish line, especially our awesome post-production team who takes all the long hours of planning and filming and makes something wonderful out of it every single time.

If you’re interested in having a green screen at your next shoot, give us a shout.

Every week at Red Summit is something special, and our favorite way of acknowledging that is with our weekly recaps.

Each Friday, we get a chance to slow down and reflect on the previous week’s wins, learning experiences, unforgettable moments, and everything in between.

It’s also our way of shouting out the fantastic people who make it all happen. To our team in the office, who work day in and day out behind the scenes to make sure every shoot goes off without a hitch and to our wonderful and talented freelancers who show up ready to work each and every time, thank you for your dedication and energy.

After 16 years in the business, I’ve learned how important it is to celebrate each win and every person who helped make it possible. We love what we do here at Red Summit and we love sharing the moments that make it so special with you all.

Cheers to another great week at RSP.

There’s nothing like working in New York City alongside some of the best in the business.

This summer, we headed to Home Studios for a shoot and brought together a team of 14 incredible crew members whose work ethic, professionalism, and talent continue to raise the bar. It’s always a great feeling seeing everyone locked in and firing on all cylinders. From photography and video to lighting and props, you could feel the energy in the room.

We are always proud to be working with our community of wonderful freelancers. The dedication, creativity, and craftsmanship they bring to each and every single project makes working on set an absolute joy. They show up ready to collaborate, solve problems, and give every detail the attention it deserves. We don’t take that commitment for granted.

At Red Summit, we believe that the best work happens when talented people come together and bring their A game to every shoot. Thank you to our awesome team and freelancers who do that every day.

Rise above.

One of the many things we love about being in the heart of New York City is the opportunity to host screenings of new releases.

We are always proud to say that we are the go-to for major streaming services when it's time to share their latest projects.

As a production company, it's always a good time to be in a room with talented cast, our incredible freelancers, and all of the people who made the work we are excited to capture. Getting to hear firsthand from directors, actors, and cinematographers during post-event Q&As is always a treat. Learning about their perspectives on their role and the decisions that went into bringing the story to life is not only a priceless experience, but one that reminds us why we do what we do.

For 16 years, we've been turning big ideas into even bolder projects and we are just getting started.

If you can imagine your logo where ours is, give us a shout.

Grateful for a wonderful and packed month!

What a September it has been at Red Summit Productions, and as we close out the month, we're heading straight into Q4 with the whole team fired up.

18 shoots. 17 days on set & a string of edits. New York City, Missouri, Kansas, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Texas. One month, six states, and a team that never slowed down.

September took us into every kind of world. Five-day podcast productions and podcasts for a major hospital network. Internal productions for a major banking client. Screenings and EPKs for a major streaming service. A dog brand with a football star, and a cat brand with a major influencer, filming across NYC on the street, in a studio, and in a store. A state fair in Texas for a major automotive client, a full-scale pharma production in New Jersey, and agency work in between.

Behind every one of those shoot days was the work most people never see. Street permits, prop sourcing, talent scouting, and a hundred small details handled long before call time. Putting the puzzle pieces together before the camera ever rolls is a huge part of why clients keep coming back.

To our clients: thank you for trusting us with your story this month. To our team and our rockstar freelancers: thank you for the early alarms, the long days, and for bringing your best to every set in every state.

Q4 is here, and we're ready for it. Reach out to our team if we can work with you on your next project!

Rise Above.

An empty room is just a starting point.

When a client comes to us with a vision, we bring every puzzle piece needed to make it real. That starts long before the cameras roll: prop sourcing, set dressing, and working with top prop stylists to take a blank space and build something intentional, warm, and tailored to the story.

Then comes the ex*****on. The way a space is lit changes everything, and what looks like a simple interview setup is the result of hours of careful planning, positioning, and refinement.

None of that vision comes to life without the talented freelancers who are the true backbone of our crew turning hours of preparation and design into seamless ex*****on on set.

Every light placed with purpose. Every shadow considered.

By the time talent walks in, the room does not feel like a room anymore. It feels like a set.

That is what we do at Red Summit. We turn empty spaces into top-tier production environments, powered by the best freelance talent in the business for 16 years.

When a client asks for paparazzi-style content inside a black SUV, you have to think through every possible outcome before setting foot on set.

Pulling that off on the streets of Manhattan, especially during UN General Assembly week, means battling unpredictable weather, shifting light, street noise, massive crowds, and zero control.

So we made a different call: We brought the SUV inside.

At Untitled Studios in NYC, we rigged the vehicle with custom lighting and audio, built the scene around it, and created the high-energy paparazzi moment in a fully controlled environment. No weather delays. No city noise. No compromises. Just the shot.

Days like this are all about momentum. When one variable shifts, everything else has to pivot seamlessly, all held together by a rock-solid call sheet.

That’s what 16 years of production experience looks like: finding the solution before the problem ever touches the set.

What’s the boldest pivot you’ve had to make on a shoot recently?

Perks of working with Red Summit:

1. Craft services catered like a five-star event
2. Directing state-of-the-art cinema rigs
3. Unexpectedly getting your "15 minutes of fame" as an impromptu lighting model on a Tuesday afternoon

Not every hero on set gets a screen credit. Meet our stand-ins, a.k.a. our full-time crew and staff.

While principal talent is in hair and makeup, reviewing lines, or saving energy, someone has to hold the mark so our DP and gaffer can lock in lighting setups, camera angles, and focus.

We love calling on our own team to step into the spotlight. One minute you're producing a call sheet or logging footage, and the next you're standing under very expensive cinema lights, holding a tape measure to your nose, and soaking up your moment as the star of the pre-light. It keeps our sets nimble, saves precious time, and honestly? It makes for some of the best behind-the-scenes footage we have.

In 16 years as Executive Producer, I've learned that a great production isn't just built on high-end gear. It's built on a team willing to wear every hat (and hold every mark).

So here's to our crew: thanks for holding the frame, looking surprisingly photogenic under test lights, and letting us borrow your star power before the real cameras roll!
