Video Production in Traverse City & Grand Rapids, Michigan
What We Do
Stone Hut Studios partners with organizations to create meaningful, cinematic films from start to finish. Based in Traverse City and working throughout Michigan, including Grand Rapids, we guide each project through discovery, filming, editing, and final delivery. Our approach blends documentary storytelling with thoughtful production to help nonprofits, universities, and mission-driven organizations connect with their audiences in a genuine way.
Full Service Video Production
Every project begins with listening. We take time to understand your goals, your audience, and the heart behind your story before moving into production. From early conversations through final delivery, Stone Hut Studios provides a collaborative, full-service experience designed to make the process clear, creative, and enjoyable.
Our work often includes creative development, filming, interviews, drone footage, and post-production, all shaped around a story-first approach. Rather than offering isolated technical services, we focus on creating complete films that feel authentic, engaging, and lasting.
Production & Filming
Filming is where ideas begin to take shape visually. Our approach combines cinematic imagery with a documentary sensibility, capturing real moments with intention and care. Whether filming on location across Michigan or inside our Traverse City studio, we aim to create visuals that feel natural, emotionally grounded, and true to each organization’s voice.
We work with a flexible production style that adapts to the needs of each project, from small interview setups to larger multi-camera productions.
Editing & Finishing
Oftentimes, the magic of storytelling comes together in the edit. Through thoughtful pacing, sound design, motion graphics, and color finishing, we shape raw footage into a cohesive and meaningful final film.
Editing is a collaborative process, and we work closely with our clients to refine each piece until it feels right. The goal is always to create a film that resonates emotionally while communicating clearly and effectively.
Studio Filming and Rental
While Stone Hut Studios primarily focuses on full-service video production, our Traverse City studio is also available as a dedicated filming space for interviews, educational content, and smaller productions.
Unlike a traditional commercial studio, the space has a warm, in-home atmosphere designed to help people feel comfortable and natural on camera. The goal is to create an environment that feels welcoming and relaxed while still delivering a professional cinematic look.
The studio works especially well for sit-down interviews, online learning content, and projects that benefit from consistent lighting and sound. Many clients choose to combine studio filming with a larger production, but the space can also be used independently depending on your needs.
If you’re wondering whether the studio is the right fit, we’re happy to talk through ideas and possibilities.
