We see filmmaking as a powerful instrument for capturing and conveying the spirit of education.
Our production philosophy is inspired by the principle of physics that observing a system inevitably influences its state. We embrace this insight by bringing a wave of positive energy to every learning environment, knowing well that our presence will affect the behaviors of students and educators, which in turn will affect the energy of our footage. For us it's not just about capturing images; it's about fostering an atmosphere where students and educators feel energized and excited to get in front of our cameras. We will frequently interact with our subjects to provide encouragement and stimulate learning activity. At the same time, we know how to be invisible when needed and go out of our way to ensure that delicate learning moments are not disrupted while filming.
Filming in schools requires a unique blend of Skill, Patience and Positivity.
Successful implementation of our philosophy requires a very specific type of person on our crews. In addition to being extremely talented, everyone on our team is fun to work with, good with kids, and has the positive attitude required to work in the dynamic and unpredictable nature of learning environments. These people are extraordinarily difficult to find, but we are lucky to have many of them on our team and are continuing to expand our roster of trusted creators.
Our commitment to safety
We place the highest priority on the safety and comfort of the educational communities we serve. Understanding the significance of trust and security within schools, we implement a rigorous vetting process for all our crew members. Every individual representing Light Team not only meets our high standards for professional expertise but also embodies the integrity and respect required to interact within educational environments. Our clients can feel confident and reassured about welcoming our teams into their buildings and engaging with their community members.
Alex Sandman / Executive Producer
Since 2012 I have had the privilege of working on projects for 14 schools and educational organizations. While I did not set out on this path with the intention of specializing in educational storytelling, I felt a sense of gravity in the stories of students and educators that I did not feel in other types of commercial work. These projects have been a source of endless creativity and inspiration, pushing me to explore and grow within the realm of short documentary filmmaking. I am constantly amazed by the incredible displays of human achievement I witness in learning environments. The opportunity to tell these important stories through film and music is an honor I cherish deeply.
