KNOW THE RULES. BEND THE RULES. THIRD RULE MEDIA.

One of the first lessons you learn in video production is the Rule of Thirds. The Rule of Thirds divides an image into nine equal parts using two horizontal lines and two vertical lines, like a grid. Key elements of the scene are placed along these lines to create balance and guide the viewer’s eye. That’s why people are often on the left or right side of the screen in movies and videos. But the Rule of Thirds doesn’t mean you have to stay on those lines, and it certainly doesn’t mean your image looks bad if you don’t follow that rule.

It’s helpful to know the rules, but that doesn’t mean you should be afraid to bend them. Combining industry knowledge with an outlook for the new or unusual helps keeps ideas fresh and exciting. Our team loves approaching problems with an eye for creative solutions, thinking outside the grid as much as possible.

LET US TELL YOUR STORY

We’re natural storytellers. One of our favorite perks of doing what we do is learning about the unique stories in our community. We love being the ones to help those stories find their audience, and we’d love to tell yours. Our goal is to create “positivity with a punch.” That means making productions an enjoyable experience for everyone involved and injecting humor into all we do (while still taking projects seriously).

WHY CHOOSE THIRD RULE MEDIA

We understand that when it comes to addressing video needs, many clients are moving away from using large, traditional production companies working on broadcast commercials in favor of freelancers producing online content. This transition saves the client money and can help target specific audiences, but when just one person is working on your project, they aren’t always available to provide the additional support that a production company can offer.

That’s where Third Rule Media comes in. Our streamlined production setup means we’re a budget-friendly alternative to larger companies while also providing the continuing support you’re used to.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Third Rule was a pleasure to work with! We brought them on for a somewhat last-minute, out-of-town shoot, and they jumped right in to help. They brought great ideas to the table, were professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process, and helped make the shoot day run smoothly.

Their turnaround time was quick, they were receptive to feedback, and they made the whole experience seamless from start to finish. We’re so grateful for their partnership and would absolutely work with them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Third Rule is awesome. With video production you first want to make sure they can do what they say they can do and will be reliable. Check. Second, you want a true partner who knows when and how to elevate a project, this is their secret sauce! Highly recommend them.

CREATING UNIQUE, ORIGINAL CONTENT

There’s no one formula for what your video needs to look like. We love to get creative with our projects, and we want to make sure your personality is authentically represented. We want to show off what makes you you!

VIDEO PRODUCTION ON A BUDGET

Having great video for your business is becoming more essential every day. However, video can also be expensive and an intro price point might be out of reach for most people. We want to make video accessible for you while still delivering on a quality final product.

How are we able to do that? Our team is small, but mighty. We come prepared with a plan on how to best utilize your space to our advantage, simultaneously record as much as possible, and deliver the final edit to you in a reasonable time frame. We operate with efficiency every step of the way.
