Studio 18 Manifesto
Born in 2018, Studio 18 started as a name of a room, but it quickly became the official name of our in-house summer camp content production team. Over time the culture of the team became more refined and the Studio 18 Manifesto was born. Studio 18 wanted to change the very definition of what summer camp media content could and should be. When team members come onboard they are bought into the Studio 18 purpose, mission and vision from the get go. We are truly obsessive about pushing the boundaries of summer camp media. This helps set us apart from any other business in our industry. We do not aim to compete, we are simply on an infinite pursuit to create better content than the summer before, and it’s 100% born from nothing but passion and our pathetic love of summer camp.
Lights, Camera, Action!
Okay, we don’t actually say that… most of the time our creative team has a game plan and some times they run & gun because you know… it’s camp and it can get a little hard to set up a perfect shot every time! Check out our YouTube channel or the samples below to get an idea of what we try achieve in just 7 weeks!
