In 2004, we opened our first office above the High Line on 23rd St. on the west side of Manhattan. At the time, the High Line was in a serious state of disrepair. The abandoned railway, only known to local residents and urban explorers was even slated for demolition at one point- but was eventually saved by conservationists.
Corporate video production has evolved radically in the last decade, and Highline Studios is at the forefront of this evolution. We optimize our workflow constantly with the latest technology to enhance our natural storytelling capabilities. Our toolkit includes: drones, portable dollies, 6k cameras, 8k, ultra-portable lighting, image stabilizers, supercomputers, and our signature post-production style.
We've documented work and told stories about all phases of the design and build process. From concept and design, engineering and construction, to capturing finished interiors, Highline has diverse experience in the sector. Our clients include AECOM, Skanska and Tutor Perini.

Our experience with Highline Studios was amazing. They do incredible work. They were at the customer site before we arrived, shooting drone footage and setting up, and stayed after we had to leave for the airport (we are based in San Francisco) to make sure we had great footage and b-roll. Damon, our director, had an amazing vision and the crew were all really talented. We felt like we were on a full studio produced production, they treated our shoot and us with the utmost care and respect and the end result was better than we expected! 5 stars all the way!

I've worked with quite a few studios in the past for various businesses. And Damon and Jenn were amongst the most professional. They met up with my partner and I several times before even officially getting the job and during that time genuinely took great care into what we were trying to do. They took great care of us from the story boarding, the copy, the locations, the talent and we couldn't be happier with the final product. The final deliverable is very professional and we're very proud to show it off. Thanks to everyone at highline studio!!

Highline Studios is fantastic! They were extremely helpful and routinely went above and beyond to make sure we got the best video possible. Damon and his team took the time to really understand our company, ethos, and goals and how to best showcase us. We ended up with an amazing, authentic video that really speaks to who we are. I would absolutely recommend Highline, and definitely look forward to working with them again in the future!

Highline studios made my brand look like a million bucks - with a fresh and modern sensibility. I made an on location cooking demo video with the Highline Studios team- the production was a one day shoot, the pace of the day was fast with camera and lighting set ups. Damon was very good at Directing me to elicit a natural performance. Damon brings years of experience to each production and his wealth of talent shows up on the screen with all the choices he makes including the lighting, camera shots, and on set dressing. He has great intuition with his pace of editing and added extra value in

The quality of work met expectations. However, they would not include the raw footage, which we consider unacceptable. We have worked with half a dozen production companies across the U.S. and all have always provided raw footage with no hesitation.
Therefore, we would not re-consider nor recommend Highline for future work.
1) They won't give you the raw footage. Then claim it's worth x3-x4 times the original price to get it. We have suspicion they are in the business of re-hashing/re-using your footage for other purposes (we have no proof of this but have suspicions).

Highline Studios created an amazing video for my company in 2014. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the video - it was creative, professional and exactly what we envisioned. The Founder worked with us throughout the entire process from start to finish and was extremely diligent to create a product that our team and audience were impressed with. I would definitely recommend Highline and look forward to working with them again.

Although there are plenty of companies in the LA area that shoot videos, we needed a company that we felt would be professional with our athletes and would quickly deliver the high quality, unique videos that we were looking for, within our budget. Highline Studios was easy to work with and came through for us in all regards.
