Our Intentional, Guided Process
1.
Pre-Production
Great videos are built on great strategy. Before we ever touch a camera, we sit down for a dedicated consulting session to diagnose your needs, map out your vision, and build a framework that guarantees your final video achieves your goals. (This high-value strategic session is also available as a standalone service: The Story Framework).
2.
Production
Once the vision is set, our professional crew handles the technical execution, bringing the cinema cameras, lights, sound, and hair & makeup to elevate your experience
3.
Post-Production
We bring the story to life through expert editing, color, sound design, and effects, keeping you involved with a collaborative review session
It’s great to meet you!
I’m Elisa Trentham, Creative Director and Founder of Sherwood Media
I started this business because I believe that storytelling is tied to legacy. I love working with business founders, non-profit executives, and multi-generational families to preserve their stories.
While Sherwood Media's talented production team handles the technical execution—operating the cameras and managing the edits—my personal focus is on the human connection. I serve as your Creative Director, guiding the overall vision, managing the client relationship, and conducting the interviews to ensure we capture the absolute heart of your message. If you are looking for a creative video partner for your next project, I'd love to talk.

“The experience was incredible”
Elisa & her team worked with my company, Camel Expeditionary, earlier this year. The experience was incredible. She takes her time to really understand what you are looking for. Her team is very professional & worked hard to connect with our team. We are very pleased with what they produced for us. I would highly recommend Sherwood to anyone. We are already working with them again on more projects.

“Anyone can press record on a camera; but not everyone can tell a story.”
Elisa is a true professional and a wonderful storyteller. She takes the time to learn your brand’s story and then she crafts a message through a mix of visual and audio elements that are not just stunning but also moving. Anyone can press record on a camera; but not everyone can tell a story. Your branding message is too important to be satisfied with anything less than the best. We absolutely loved working with her!

“Her attention to detail of the video she shoots and edits is top quality”
Elisa is a professional in every aspect of the word. Her attention to detail of the videos she shoots and edits is top quality.
She’ll offer you great advice on the best approaches for how to turn your vision into reality with an awesome video to use across various platforms.
As a communications professional, I highly recommend Sherwood Media for all your business video needs.
