Ian C.
Filmmaker for Underdog Businesses
I’m a Minnesota-based video producer who loves to turn ideas into finished videos. Since 2009, I’ve helped startups, successful businesses and even YouTube channels grow. And my favorite part of that process is distilling ideas into a clear and exciting plan. ⭐ I will translate your vision into an effective video script.⭐ A script with a clear narrative, a creative and fitting visual style, and immersive sound. But also a script that helps you meet your goals, whether it’s sales, education, or entertainment. Your script can be as creative or as by-the-book as you prefer. I’m one of the few on Upwork who has wins in on-site video production, directing, video editing, copywriting, script writing, creative direction, and motion graphics. If your script needs to fit a budget or filming constraints, I can help, because I’ve lived in this world a long time. And for creative inspiration, I draw on experiences as a journalist, a copywriter, an animator, a musician, a skier, a hunter, a YouTuber, a traveler, a student of mixed martial arts, a husband, a father, a friend, a brother, a caregiver, a believer, and a novelist. A few years ago I started True Colors Video, a video production firm devoted to quality, character, and results. My experience has helped companies land multi-million dollar contracts, establish a name in the A.I. space, win new investors, grab lots of attention at Trade Shows, and sell more products and services.
