History | Top Minnesota Commercial Video Production

As of recent, Buffalo Media Group has been granted a unique and most extraordinary task of helping tell the story of the Kelsey Family out in Yellowstone country in the mid-60’s through the eyes of Howard Kelsey himself. Howard Kelsey was the original owner and founder of Nine Quarter Circle Ranch in Gallatin Gateway, Montana. We have been awarded this most magnificent responsibility to help edit lost footage that many have never been seen and in most circumstances, is the first time any of this footage has seen the light of day. It was upon our request that the Kelsey Family dig the footage out of the family archives and have them reproduced into digital format. It is with great respect to the Kelsey Family that we are entrusted in a manner to help tell this amazing story of life in Montana and Wyoming. All footage was captured by the Kelsey Family using 16mm cameras and film.

Buffalo Media Group was finally able to get around to processing some 8mm footage from Nine Quarter Circle Ranch from our shoot with them in August. If you have followed some of what we have been doing with them as of recent is taking vintage 16mm and cutting them into short videos. How this whole process got started for us shooting 8mm started back in 2020, when we purchased our first 8mm video camera. We neglected to bring it to the ranch in 2020, mostly because I had just recently purchased it and it was still yet untested. This however did strike up a conversation about shooting vintage film for nostalgic purposes. This in turn led to talks about the Kelsey Family video archives and all the footage they had on spools just sitting in a box in storage. It was upon our request that they have them taken to a film restoration service and have them transferred to digital format. Thankfully they did and subsequently I was allowed the amazing opportunity to edit and “re-introduce” the footage to the next generation. So, now everything coming full circle, I did in fact bring the 8mm this year and this is what we captured. Quite honestly, not too much has changed in the environment and the ranch since those videos you may have seen from the early 1960’s. That’s the beauty of this whole project. This video, in association with the previous one’s, is part of a lasting legacy that has been carefully managed and conserved for the next generation of guests and family. Let’s hope this same story can be told over and over again!

Hopefully I did with my last sentence.

Buffalo Media Group made our way out to Gallatin Gateway, Montana the early part of August to cover guest ranch photography and video production for Nine Quarter Circle Ranch. This was our second consecutive season shooting for Nine Quarter Circle Ranch. It’s always such a pleasure to work for such great operations such as theirs. They are consummate professionals and enjoy what they do and you can see it from the top down. Nine Quarter Circle Ranch is hands down one of the most authentic western guest ranch experiences you will find out west. Nine Quarter Circle Ranch is located just a stone’s throw away from the doorstep of Yellowstone National Park. Be sure to check out this amazing ranch, but be sure to book well ahead of time, their faithful following of guests tend to always come back year to year! Thanks so much Kameron and Sally and the entire Kelsey Family. It truly is an honor to work with such wonderful people as yourselves!
