Convenient that we got to work with one of our favorite stud muffins on this …

Matt Ley is a remarkable thinker, collaborator, leader, & friend. Several years in the making, he’s been ideating and instructing at , and in this next season he’s campaigning for the release of his book, Manage Your Gaps (coming this summer)!!

It’s been a privilege to learn & grow with him, and we can’t wait to see how this valuable contribution changes workplace cultures & management styles everywhere.

Thanks for trusting us to help with your campaign promos & audio book, Matt!

What. A. Day!!!

We visited up in Green Bay with the hopes of being given a few minutes of attention from a kind tour guide or intern.

But we didn’t get that.

We got TWO HOURS of ONE-ON-ONE time with Corey the CO-FOUNDER?!

Needless to say, we learned a lot about hospitality and generosity.

Corey taught us a few principles to abide by in this live-streaming & production space, too…

1. ALWAYS HAVE SNACKS.

When leading others, it’s important we encourage them to press the right buttons & grab the right shots, but we first need to make sure their stomachs are full. Ergo why he offered us food & water within 30 seconds of entry to the office.

2. Don’t be a JERK! (He used a more colorful word tho)

In this industry, sometimes you can get IRKED. Grips & Assistants & Techs can fat-finger your production, lose focus on composition, or refuse to cooperate with your vision. In those moments, don’t lose your crap. Take a deep breath, scream outside the production truck to let it out, and loop back to it in 24-hours when you can have a more productive conversation.

3. Be a STUDENT of your art

Corey knew a lot. Within 30 seconds we all felt like toddlers trying to keep pace with a quantum physicist… but his expertise and passion clearly came from a place for a continued desire to learn. Corey saw his first production truck at age 25 and told us “he knew he was home,” but his hunger for growth & betterment clearly won’t ever be quenched.

We’re going to be implementing these learnings (among SO many others) in the coming months at Upload Partners… but until then, we’ll just keep shouting THANK YOU to our new friends at LiveX in Green Bay!

Before the clock strikes midnight...

We're honored to celebrate our dear friend and fearless leader, Justin, today.

Upload Partners was born out of his desire to connect people and provide spaces to understand one another more deeply, using the power of technology & modern storytelling.

He clings tightly to his values... choosing joy, generosity, empathy, selflessness, and just the right amount of risk-taking.

Simply put– he's the kind of person we all want to be when we grow up.

Happy birthday, Justin!

Our time spent with Jockey last week was ELECTRIC!

It was a privilege to capture their momentous partnerships with Daniel Suárez & Ross Chastain! Together, the illustrious racers & the 100+ year-old organization sowed into the lives of local middle schoolers to provide them with fresh jockey merch, bike giveaways, a creative lunch from Kevins Creative Catering, and unforgettable photo ops/memories all along the way!

At Upload Partners, we love our jobs for a lot of reasons…but these vignettes of unparalleled community energy & unity are undoubtedly the most encouraging part!

Thanks for trusting us to immortalize countless special moments and build your digital confidence along the way.

(Btw- Sabrina Childers Photography CRUSHED IT on these candid captures…unreal!)

If you ever work with us for video capture or live-streaming, you'll definitely see Carson running around with one of these...

It's called a gimbal.

GImbals allow us (humans) to inherit the power of really tiny motors (robots) to get buttery-smooth shots that look like they're straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster.

But the secret isn't just owning the tool.

It's about knowing how to use it well– and we're pretty sure that part REQUIRES making a face that looks like you just ate 25 extremely sour Warheads at once. It's all about getting in the ZONE, baby!

Our goal is to utilize tools like the gimbal to help tell your story like you've never seen it before.

So whether you need us to come on-site with our gear, or maybe you just need a free consultation and some inspiration, we're here to help.

Feel free to slide in our DMs with your questions! Or send us an email: [email protected]

We'd love to help you find your inspiration, but we want to be your biggest fans, too.

Can't wait to hear from you

(and we hope you get to see the gimbal face for yourself someday, too)

Mallory O'Brien? We know her as the Upload Partners fashion icon, the queen of pop-culture, the aficionado of organization, & one of our sweetest, most loyal friends.

Mallory champions our operations & ensures we maintain some sense of sanity as a team here at Upload.

She's a faithful wife, fun-loving mom, and fiercely loyal teammate to all. She knows how to capture the sweetest candid photos (she's a proud Canon user), how to make her clients feel at peace, and how to find hope even when it feels far away.

It's a gift to know her and to love her. We are better because of her. We can't wait for you to see all that she'll do in the world– whether through UP or simply via her own ambition.

We've been LOVING the iFootage SharkNano Slider! For less than $500, this powerful rig allows us to add constant motion to our shoots without requiring any manual labor from our directors or cinematographers!

This rig accommodates camera/lens combos up to 5 pounds, but also includes attachments for mobile phones! We can't wait to show you some of the content we've captured with this robust tool.

What gadgets are YOU loving lately? What's challenging you to innovate & inspiring you to dream?

Congratulations to our teammate, Mike ""Ice in the Veins"" Rizzo on the birth of his son! Mike's a dynamic leader, faithful friend, and fearless dreamer.

We can't wait to see how he'll love & invest in his son to bring his legacy to the next generation. After all– SOMEONE needs to replace Mike someday when he retires ;)

(p.s.- Be on the lookout for how to WIN one of these sweet Upload Partners hats in the next few weeks!)
