Case Study - SecureTheVillage

SecureTheVillage is a 501(c)(3) non-profit serving as a response to the cybersecurity and privacy crisis.

It was founded by Stan Stahl, an information systems security pioneer who secured teleconferencing between the White House and key federal agencies, databases inside Cheyenne Mountain, and the communications network controlling our nuclear weapons arsenal.

We collaborated with them on a video for the landing page of their website, making use of well-chosen stock footage to keep production costs low.

“Working with Viaduct Pictures was an absolute pleasure. From the very beginning, they brought a rare combination of creativity, thoughtfulness, and professionalism to our project. They made the entire process seamless and enjoyable, proving to be not only easy to collaborate with but also deeply invested in delivering a product that truly resonated with our audience.

They demonstrated a remarkable ability to communicate in a way that respected the intelligence of our viewers, creating a video that was modern, polished, and highly engaging. Their focus on strategy throughout the process was exceptional—they consistently kept the big picture in mind, asking the right questions: Who is this for? What do we want them to do? How will we measure success?

Thanks to their expertise and vision, we ended up with a final product that exceeded our expectations and perfectly aligned with our goals. I wholeheartedly recommend Viaduct Pictures to anyone looking for a creative partner who can translate ideas into impactful, high-quality work.”
