A work of art is an adventure of the mind.
We strive to embody our L.A.S.H.E.R. name, Long Ass Section Hiker, by doing everything we can to deliver the best product possible.
The Gochute tribe has been helping their members and other minority communities with health care through their 4 situated across Utah state. We had the privilege to tell the story of this beautiful tribe and the service they provide their community.
On a road trip through Southern Utah, you never know who you might meet along the way. In the remote region of Grand Staircase–Escalante — situated among the sandstone cliffs and seemingly endless slickrock — resides a community of ranchers. “This is the hardest place I can think of for a person to do what we do,“ says Andy Rice of Boulder Creek Canyon Ranch. “And there’s nowhere else I’d want to do what we’re doing.” Discover the rugged beauty of the region and how your visit can help strengthen the local community.

This project required a delicate balance of fun and intensity. From the powerful spray of the fireman’s hose to the subtle tears of a father. This project allowed us to create works of art with a meaningful message.
Campaign for the Utah Department of Transportation.
Agency: Pennapowers
Production: Traverse Films
Edit: Duvan Durand/Daniel Martin
Most drive safe campaigns is normally pretty grim and fear inducing. PennaPowers thought to inspire rather than scare in this Zero Fatalities campaign. The idea was to trigger memories by showing events, places or occasions that the viewers could relate to and pointing to the fact that driving gets us there.
Public Lands is a new outdoor store rolling out nationally. The Together campaign is the first introduction to the brand to the public. We handled the post on the Anthem spots for broadcast and 5 social pieces.
Cricut approached us to edit the campaign for the Cricut Bright 360.
McCann, a national production agency, planned on shooting this project with a company in another country. Last minute had to cancel due to COVID-19 regulations, they called us. They needed 3 videos produced start to finish in just two weeks. It took many full nights work to make it happen, and it was worth it! We took the Lasher name seriously in those final hours.
Having good credit is no joke, but advertising for can it be! Humor is such a powerful tool, it was critical to edit the shots just right so the footage could speak for itself. – Various team members, roles and responsibilities
We had the awesome opportunity to edit these ads for Wolverine while telling the story of Jessie Neeley, AKA Ruby & Revolver, an artisan jewelry maker based in rural Montana. It’s inspiring to hear her story and it’s always refereshing to see real people express what they’re passionate about.
We love Utah and all the adventure that the natural beauty of this place offers so it was an amazing opportunity to work on this campaign. This is the first part of the new Forever Mighty project. It was also our first time working with the very talented and overall awesome human beings Sean Slobodan and Shandi Kano from Local Studios.
Editing is the conduit of how we convey a message, all driven by the purpose. We do not force the latest editing style to your style, leaving ourselves out in order to let the content speak for itself. We first seek to understand the mood you envision, then create a style to convey it. Cutting vigorously, letting a shot linger, or cutting to elements that may be unconventional are ways we can capture the message you want.
We are able to produce any visual effect you can imagine. If you already have the design we can animation or add motion. If you need us to provide the design and help with the vision all the way through execution, we can do that too. We work with passionate Graphic Designers, Animators and 3D Artists that will elevate your project.
We work with several Color Artists that have many different styles. Creating the right tone of your project ends with color in mind. This is where the final brush strokes make your vision take a life of its own.
Sound production is often only thought of as choosing the right music and voice over, but it can and should be so much more. We always try to incorporate sound elements from the production and if it wasn’t recorded, we use unique elements that often go overlooked to add dimension and depth to the project. As always, it’s to help your audience feel the emotion you desire.
Having a fail safe file management system is one of the most important services we provide. We will archive and manage your media throughout the entire post production process. Preserving all your hard work will provide peace of mind, knowing that you’ll have everything
backed up forever.

We also nurture our work life balance. We take time off, we ski, run, spend time with family, ride our motorbikes and skateboards. Climb mountains, camp. We live!

We are based in the heart of Salt Lake City. More importantly we are minutes away from the Wasatch Mountains. We all live and work in Utah because it has the adventure we crave.

During the troubling times we balance our projects at the office and our home workspaces. Video calls and quality home WiFi allow the Lasher folks to take care of your creative ideas without a flinch. Staying safe and getting the job done right.
Our main focus is Advertising: Short form, commercials and branded content. We have a soft spot for outdoor brands and adventure films, anything that connects us back to our passion for the outdoors. Our clients are important. We treat them like family. We build relationships with the people. Understanding who we work for and their needs is as important as the work we do.
