Chabad House Video Production

A Chabad house runs on one thing: people who were touched by it and remember why. The film is where that memory is kept and shown — at the dinner, in the campaign email, on the page a prospective supporter opens before deciding. We have made these for Chabad of Palm Beach, for Chabad at Vanderbilt (a campus film and the Lamplighter Award), and for Camp Gan Israel in Maine, and the thing they have in common is that the shliach and the community are the story, not a voiceover about them.

We come to you with the set: key lights, a boom, a second angle, so an interview in the Chabad house library looks like it belongs on screen. Students, families, the rebbetzin, the board member who has been there since the first Friday night — short, honest interviews cut together with footage of the place actually running: Shabbos dinners, the menorah lighting, the classes, the kids. A drone pass over the building and the campus when it earns its place.

Every film is delivered in the cuts a Chabad house actually uses: the full piece for the dinner screen, a two-minute version for the campaign page, and 9:16 vertical cuts for WhatsApp statuses and Instagram, where most of your community will actually see it. Photography and film are one crew, so the dinner gets covered properly without two teams working around each other.
