Quick little story. A friend of the family Doug Johnson who operated Fly The Swan lost his life when his ultralight crashed north of Emily, MN on August 29th. I had the brief pleasure of meeting and flying with him back in July. So backstory, my Mom had rented Doug's services for a few hour block to have family take turns flying for 20 minutes each. My Mom asked if I would take a picture of everybody at the lake home stretching out a giant American flag across the lawn for when we were to fly over. So naturally, I thought I would shoot some footage as well seeing as this was such a cool experience. I know Doug had a bunch of GoPro footage but figured some good professional stuff would be great for him to have. I also shot some stills and emailed him everything. He was elated and wanted to team up this fall and put together a promo video. I was just thinking about him as I was driving through Nisswa...hours before I received the tragic news that Doug and a passenger were killed as his ultralight crashed just north of Emily, MN. I was going to be reaching out to him very soon to see if he wanted to get some fall colors shots during Crosslake Days. I was really looking forward to working with him. Needless to say, we were all floored by the sudden, tragic news. For the brief time I knew him, he was an extremely generous and thoughtful person who genuinely loved his job and sharing it with others. In the last email I got from him his sign off was ABOVE AND BEYOND!
So my Mom asked if I had any photos I could pass on to her for his memorium. Then I stumbled across all this footage I shot and put together this piece. RIP Douglas Johnson.

Read MoreThis July Buffalo Media Group was hired by Explore Minnesota to provide video production of Lake of the Woods in Baudette, Minnesota. We have always loved the Lake of the Woods area and jumped all over the opportunity to showcase our skills. By having looked at the video, you wouldn’t have realized how much severe weather we had to battle in order to fit the shoot in two days. Upon arrival at our cabin, the weather was already 91 degrees and extremely humid. This eventually then turned into massive storms the first night and into the next morning! As soon as the storms cleared out at 9:00am, it was off to the races and the prized fishing grounds. The weather did open up for a few hours and allow us to get over the the Northwest Angle and showcase some of the resorts in that remote part of Lake of the Woods. We would like to thank all who made this shoot a huge success that it was namely Paul and Brandi Johnson of River Bend’s Resort and Joe Henry with Lake of the Woods Tourism. We look forward to our next adventure with Explore Minnesota! Thanks for placing your trust in Buffalo Media Group!
This week Buffalo Media Group was hired on once again by Explore Minnesota, the premier tourism bureau for our great state of Minnesota, to cover Lake of the Woods.

Our shoot entailed covering many local businesses, lifestyle, activities, and nature. What an amazing pocket in the world this is! We were so amazed by the beauty of Oak Island and the Northwest Angle. The Northwest Angle is the part of Minnesota that juts right into Canada. As a matter of fact, you have to drive through…

Read MoreThis past week Buffalo Media Group was in Kabetogama, Minnesota up near the U.S./Canadian border covering new material for the Kabetogama Lakes Resorts. This first part of the year has been one of epic proportion. The extensive and damaging flooding from spring thaw has affected almost every single resort and resort owner in some fashion. While some made it through relatively unscathed, other resorts were not as fortunate. They say it was the flood of the century and it can easily be seen why. Out of all the chaos, there has been hope all along. This group of seasoned resort owners have been through…
