Commercial
“Nobody counts the number of ads you run; they just remember the impression you make.” – Bill Bernbach
Make your business more visible and professional with one of our tailored videos! We offer several commercial packages to provide a dynamic and intriguing marketing tool, no matter what your budget is. We work closely with the client in pre-production to sculpt the layout of the ad and then bring the client's vision to life on shoot day! Our staff, including our award-winning Director of Photography, has ample experience in the production industry. The training and skill of our crew help bring together each special vision and executes that vision with ease, making a commercial advertisement much easier than most assume. Our FAA-licensed drone capabilities also provide many opportunities for visually stunning views from the clouds, making your ad different and more engaging, giving your business a step up from the competition. Our Drone also provides a unique perspective for reality showcases, offering a complete interior and exterior view of any property and dwelling, making any listing stand out among the many. A one-day rental of our Drone/Pilot can capture multiple homes. From single shot drone shoots to multiple full commercial slots, we costume design a unique advertisement, of any length, to fit your business’ needs and catch the attention of your own unique target audience!
Informational
Video is the easiest and quickest way for information to travel consistently. With our tailored informational videos, we can deliver a consistent visualization of any kind of information that you need to get across for your business to succeed. We have learned from experience that training is the foundation of a solid employee and that in many business settings consistency is key to the companies continued success. Our hands-on informational training videos allow your company to keep an up-to-date manual virtually anywhere. They do more than just train your staff to the highest level and save on your training expenses in the long run, they also ensure consistency in your training, keeping your products consistent and ultimately keeping your consumers happy. No matter what fits your business needs, we can distribute your videos in any way you prefer, from hard copy DVDs to an online workshop we can set up for you. Irving Entertainment Studios is always set and ready to film your project fully in-house or we can film on location with your own face on camera!

Creative
"A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later." – Stanley Kubrick
For the first time ever a professional production crew is brought together in North East Michigan, right in Alpena’s front yard! Each with their own set of specialized interests and talents, our crew brings a new level of creative filmmaking to our area. With our own special out-of-the-box production process, no idea is too big or too small for us to create an amazing visualization of your subject interest. With extensive audio knowledge and amazing sound quality, we bring unique opportunities towards the music scene in both live performances and pre-recorded music videos. In addition, Irving Entertainment has released several creative pieces over the last few years, including grant-funded and non-profit collaborations such as the “Michigan Micro Adventures” series and the “Fresh Waves” mural documentary. On a larger platform, we have worked on an assortment of short and feature films and have also worked with PBS and the “Great Lakes Now” program in creating professional television content that has been aired throughout the country.
If something creative is what you have in mind, you have come to the right place! Let us work with you to bring your vision to film or send us your thoughts and let us do the creative work!

We pride ourselves at Irving Entertainment for keeping creativity high on the priority list, so, even though many other companies' wedding videos all look the same we go the extra mile to ensure our memory videos are as unique as each client! Prior to your event, you will meet with a producer from our team to go over a general timeline to figure out how we can best record your event, ensuring your video won't be missing a thing so when the big day comes you will have no worries regarding the production crew.

The live stream can be provided stand-alone, or in conjunction with any package for special savings, as we want everyone important to be able to enjoy your special day with you, near or far!
Events
Over the past several years Irving Entertainment has had the pleasure of filming many wonderful live events. Capturing the Farm to Fork conference in Lincoln, the Thunder Bay Folk Festival in Alpena, and so many in between. One of the things we are most passionate about here at “IE” is capturing our clients doing what they are passionate about, so special events are a crew favorite to film! Though these days things are a bit different, we know that it does not change the need to gather in celebration and philanthropy. When we thought of different events that we would be missing out on due to the restrictions surrounding the pandemic, we knew we had to come up with another way for people to continue to enjoy themselves together. So, we did just that, with the multi-camera live stream switchboard that allows us to capture any event flawlessly, with or without a live audience present. While also recording, we Livestream your event simultaneously to one social media platform of your choice from multiple points of view. Making it easy for everyone to access your event, regardless of restrictions or location. Our Drone offers a more edgy look for recording any event and can also be a part of your live stream experience. While we can cater to any location, we also have a Livestream/audio Suite ready to go for any production at any time, perfect for any podcast recordings or off-camera audio needs. We provide your own Audio Technicians to make your recording as crisp and clean as possible, all while being live-streamed and recorded. Check out our packages below and let us know what your event entails!
