The Future is Now - Using "Big Data" in Video
MotionEcho Media was founded in 2009 by John Richardson. John was an automotive engineer for twenty years in the Detroit area and decided it was time to pursue a field that he always enjoyed... photography and video. He recognized that video was becoming increasingly useful for marketing via the internet and voilà, MotionEcho was in business!
There's no better tool to tell a story than video. We help you do that. By sticking to the tried and true formula of first understanding what the customer wants to accomplish, we then forge ahead to make your video concept a reality. Skillful capture of "live action" video, photography, personal interviews, and motion graphics are then carefully edited to deliver your message... ensuring the "big production value" our customers ask for.
Video is great when you're trying to reach the masses, but what if you wanted to create a video that "speaks" to each individual that views it... whether that person be an employee, potential customer, or during the onboarding process? We've developed a product that can reach many thousands of people in a very personalized way... by simply leveraging your existing employee or customer databases. We believe that "video for one" is the future, so we're pouring our resources into making this product more useful every day.

Some of our Audio / Video Tools
While it's possible to create a feature film with the incredible mobile devices that are available today, our guess is that you're not going to be too happy if we show up with nothing more than an iphone. We also realize that most customers don't care what (professional tools) we use as long as the end product looks and sounds great. However, for the more technically oriented (like producers and marketing companies), here's a small sampling of what we have on hand to capture your audio & video footage.
CAMERA - Canon C100 Mark I & Mark II, Canon 7D, GoPro
MOTION CAPTURE - DJI Ronin, 12 ft. Kessler Crane, Kessler Slider
AERIAL - DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus
LIGHT - LED Bi-Color Panels, Soft Boxes
AUDIO - AT4053b Hypercardiod Mic, Sennheiser EW 112 G2, G3 Lav
We do more than you might expect
OUR SERVICES
Images of People and Products
We travel to your facility and capture photography of your employees or "the stuff" you want to showcase as a still image. With our "head shots", we'll make sure you look your best... and can post-process them to reduce the effects of age if you like too. The photos that we shoot of facilities and machines regularly end-up on websites and/or magazine articles.
The Flying Camera
Capturing aerial video is something that doesn't need to be done on a major motion picture budget anymore. In fact, it's remarkably affordable with the drone technology of today. There are few tools that add the production value of aerial video... the "wow" factor really applies here!
Affordable WOW Factor
We can integrate segments of motion graphics to your video for some added pizzazz, or design a stand-alone motion graphics experience to explain your product or service to the world.
High Quality Productions
We work with you from concept to the final cut. Once the vision is agreed upon, we'll take care of the rest. We manage the entire production process; including audio and video capture, video editing, motion graphics, music, and color correction. We've interviewed numerous CEO's, so you can trust us to make you look and sound great!
Showcasing Your Technology
If you want to demonstrate how your software, hardware, or large machinery works, we can help you. We've been into numerous design and manufacturing facilities and can shoot video that'll make sense to your target customer; whether that's an engineer or a buyer.
High Volume Personalized Videos
This product is designed to reach each person in your database in a way that is customized to that individual. We leverage your data to create a unique email, landing page and video for each person in your email list. This is not video for the masses, this is video for one. You completely control the message at the micro-level, but can send out thousands of videos every day.
Photography
We've captured a multitude of the ubiquitous corporate "head shots" along with images of buildings, facilities, large machines and products.
Aerial Video and Photo
Video from the skies is truly a unique perspective. We've shot video of custom homes, corporate buildings and manufacturing sites / facilities.
Motion Graphics
Computer-generated motion graphics are a hallmark of higher-end video productions... and we love using motion graphics!
Corporate Video
We've produced scores of videos that tell the story of people, products or services.
Industrial Video
With the founder having direct experience in the design engineering world, we have a unique edge when it comes to portraying how things work.

The business of video
WHY CHOOSE MOTIONECHO
LOCAL OR NATIONAL
Whether you need a Detroit based company to produce your project or you'd like us to travel to you, we're happy to accommodate.
EXPERIENCED MEDIA PRODUCER
Founded in 2009, MotionEcho specialized in producing quality video for the internet... whether that be a company's website, YouTube, or Facebook. While that's still very true, we also produce numerous videos for events too.
WORK ETHIC
Attention to detail and the relentless pursuit of finding new and better ways to improve our services. We're never satisfied with the status-quo... because we know you're not.
WE'RE NOT SATISFIED UNTIL YOU ARE
We're rarely done after the first cut of the video... we know that's typically just the start of the customer review process. We'll make unlimited revisions until you're happy with the final product, no annoying "change costs" (assuming it's all within the original scope of work, of course).
FAST AND RELIABLE
If there's a deadline, we'll meet it. We know it really doesn't matter how good your work is if it's not done on time... we get that. Making our clients happy on both sides of the time/quality equation is what has made us successful.
THE REPEAT CUSTOMER IS OUR GOAL
Most of our work is with the same customer base. We've had great success with landing new projects after the first job. Finding new customers is healthy, but we believe that keeping our current customer base happy is the most important value equation.
DATA-BASED VIDEO PRODUCT
If you'd like to personalize your video message for each and every person in your marketing list then we have a unique product you'll be very interested in. This is a totally automated operation, we can make thousands of videos... every day. This includes a personalized email and landing page too!
FULL SERVICE PRODUCTION
We can manage the full production cycle... from concept to completion. Story development, video capture, editing, color correction/grading and motion graphics integration are all components we're expert at..
PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT
We use audio / video tools that are of cinema grade quality. You'll look and sound your best when we're on the project.
It's a wrap! We love it! I really like changing the breakage side to black & white . Well done.
