2024 was a phenomenal year for Indigo Productions! From captivating stories to exciting ads to interviews and mini-docs featuring some of the globe’s most famous faces, we developed world-class videos for our longtime clients and delighted new partners with innovative filmmaking approaches. In this spirit of innovation, we embraced cutting-edge tools to more efficiently and effectively tell great stories. We also closely collaborated with leading technology companies, creating high-end AI-driven virtual avatars. Let’s look back at some of our favorite videos from the year.
BTIG
Nothing makes us happier than a great video for a great cause. It was an honor to shoot, photograph, and edit BTIG’s annual charity day. Dozens of celebrity investors, including Bill Clinton, Eli Manning, Lea Michele, Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, Victor Cruz, and Mariano Rivera came together to raise funds for trailblazing organizations. Take a look at the incredible enthusiasm and atmosphere of the day, courtesy of our recap video:
Achievement First
This ambitious project required capturing dynamic and authentic B-roll at three schools to celebrate the 25th anniversary of an esteemed charter school network. We interviewed teachers, students, and faculty at each location, obtaining a variety of powerful soundbites for both the main video and spin-off recruitment ads. Our talented production team put the students and teachers at ease, gathering natural footage that showcases Achievement’s classes in their best light. The final video is a joyous tribute to their schools and the people who make them great.
FUNO
Every year we plan and run FUNO day, the New York based investor day for Fibra Uno, Mexico’s premiere real estate investment trust. This includes staffing, stage design, LED panel installation, filming, live streaming, and same-day turnaround of media clips. It’s always been an incredible success and this year was no different.
Midnight Moment
For over a decade, Times Square’s iconic Midnight Moment series has captivated millions of viewers nightly as the world’s largest and longest-running digital public art program. Presented by Times Square Arts, it features cutting-edge moving-image works by over 130 contemporary artists displayed on more than 90 synchronized billboards in the heart of Times Square from 11:57 pm to 12:00 am. Indigo Productions has been an integral part of this monumental project since 2019, formatting and delivering artists’ work to the screen programmers, ensuring the seamless execution of this celebrated artistic platform.
HeyGen
HeyGen is a leading virtual avatar provider. Their innovative AI tech allows anyone to create a virtual avatar of themselves. Indigo provides the filming for these avatars, ensuring that all guidelines are met and clients receive the perfect virtual visage. Additionally, we create avatars directly for HeyGen. They supply customers with a variety of ready-to-go photo-real avatars that can be selected and provided a script. These avatars naturally read scripts in multiple languages and are based on real people. To create these avatars, Indigo provides casting, location scouting, filming, and green screen keying.
7pm in Brooklyn
We continued our close collaboration with the 7PM in Brooklyn podcast. This year we took the podcast out of the studio for a very special episode featuring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence at the Roxy, while maintaining the show’s vibe, tone, and technical quality.
The Overlap
The Overlap is another venture into the high-end video podcast space. This British soccer podcast network was shooting their US debut episode Carragher’s Bar in NYC. We were ready to seamlessly fit into their production schedule and match the original show’s style, so you’d never know it was shot by a different team. The episode came out great!
UNILAD
We teamed up again with UNILAD, this time for their series “This or That,” featuring Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor during their promotional tour for Amazon’s Road House. The studio shoot made full use of the space with a backdrop colored just like the series’ branding. The highly engaging final video received over 700k views.
Storacell
How do you make a battery caddy cinematic? The answer: captivating gimbal shots, energetic editing, and the dramatic interplay of a flashlight against a dark night in the woods, highlighting how a battery caddy can help you stay powered anywhere, anytime. Crafting this commercial required the full skillset of the Indigo team, from casting and location scouting, to editing and color grading. We’re very happy with how it turned out!
Madame Tussauds
We are incredibly proud of our multi-year partnership with Madame Tussauds. This past year included revealing figures for J Balvin, Drew Barrymore, and Karol G. It’s been exciting to push these videos even further, integrating additional graphics and stylistic flourishes that harmonize the Tussauds and celebrity brands.

Blisque
This gorgeous series of lifestyle, product videos for the supplement brand, Blisque, was shot during golden hour on the beaches of California. We hired two models to showcase Blisque’s offerings while taking in the peaceful ocean air. Our expert editors and colorists made the footage sore, imbuing the natural and healthy feeling Blisque provides.
Safe Decisions
Our video campaign for Safe Decisions was one of the year’s longest-lasting and most successful projects. We created a number of videos that not only illustrate the safe’s innovative design but also the lives it protects – a resonant, emotional throughline that elevates the videos. Additionally, we generated a 3D model of the safe to demonstrate its features with visually stunning animations. Here’s one video from the series:
CdLS
At Indigo, we’re always finding ways to breathe new life into a brand or organization’s existing assets. The CdLS Foundation works with children and families dealing with this rare condition. They had a number of images they wanted to use in a Thank You video to their donors. While the images were ordinary phone pictures, our talented post-production team was able to transform them into an emotional and resonant collage that thrilled the organization and its contributors. The collaboration was so successful, we were hired to film their annual camp event where families and kids get together for a weekend of fun.
