This past week Buffalo Media Group headed up to the north shore of Minnesota to capture the winter blizzard that came down on Lake Superior. We have been wanting for many years to capture the early winter storms on the north shore and finally we caught a break in our busy schedule and had the right timing. The gusts were coming from from east to west at 30-40 mph. We knew that this would equate to huge swells! We headed up to…

This past week Buffalo Media Group made the trip over to the Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake, WI for the Wisconsin Hotel & Lodging Association Convention. Let me start by saying WOW…what a well organized and choreographed event…period. We were amazed at the turnout and to believe this is the 125th anniversary of this very event. It’s kind of mind-boggling to think of all the time, life, and lives impacted by the Wisconsin Hotel and Lodging Association. We are new to the game here…

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 has spent years shooting a lot of guest ranches and it has allowed for us to cover a ton of ground across the American West. We were able to pull footage from many of them to make a promo video for The Dude Rancher’s Association. We have been members of The Dude Rancher’s Association for years and continue to work with so many great guest ranches and the owners. We look forward to the next great adventure out west!

Purpose | Top Alaska Commerial Photographer

This year has been a super busy one for us here at Buffalo Media Group and in the midst of all the chaos we still have salmon and trout fishing fresh on our minds from last year still. Maybe it’s because we have been on a salmon run in northern Michigan and now have our eyes set on a northern Wisconsin steelhead and coho run. Of course, many of those experiences from our shoot with Alaska Rainbow Lodge were shared around the campfire at camp. We wanted to take a good look at some stock footage we covered and see if there’s any new material we can find and use. It’s a good thing I always overshoot because we were able to put together a completely new two-minute piece. This documentation is just from the shoot in late July. We of course have tons of material from our September shoot as well. We hope you all enjoy!

Soaring | Minnesota Commercial Video Production

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.
