Supporting Local
Description:

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.

Zero Fatailties - Rodeo

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.

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.

The perfect edit captures the perfect mood.

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.

Give graphics life and dynamism.

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.

Exacting precision when it comes to colour and tone.

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.

Complete the picture with perfect sound design.

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.

Reliable and accountable data wrangling.

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.

About us

We are passionate about filling our time with adventure and meaning.

Work to Live

We are not afraid to work hard, harder than most. Just as important as giving it our all to the projects at work is living life to the fullest outside the office.
We are passionate about filling our time with adventure and meaning. Having a work/life balance is a huge component in our lives, it’s how we stay strong during the final hours to meet those intense deadlines.

Who

What we do is an extension of us as people so we give it our best shot. We put in that extra hour, add that extra touch, and always know it can be better. We are creatives at heart and bring more to the table than just being editors or audio engineers. Our attitude to ALL work, no matter how big or small, is to make everything we touch better. 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 creatives at heart and bring more to the table than just being editors or audio engineers.

Where

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. Our goal is to help those we work with also experience mountain living to its fullest. Creating a culture of working hard and adventuring more. 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.

What

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.
