What we offer in digital video production?
Why choose Bridger Productions to produce your next commercial, industrial or film? Michael J Emmer is a natural born filmmaker, producing his first film in the fourth grade. He shot and directed a class film portraying The Native American way of life (The Indian Film was called, “Becoming A Man”). The entire 4th grade class and teacher rallied behind him creating the film’s sets, characters and film crew. From there Michael went on to help teach Film classes with his high school teachers, then went on to college to receive his Bachelor of Science in Film and Television Production/Motion Picture Option at Montana State University. If you include his career starting with the 4th grade, he’s been (literally focused) on the film business for 48 years!

The current media landscape has moved away from traditional Commercial production, and towards Social Media. Bridger Productions is uniquely qualified, with deep knowledge and experience in traditional media production, and the expertise to apply that towards the current Social Media World.

AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY SERVICES
We specialize at getting the shot from the air, with state of the art UAVs and camera platforms for Aerial Photography & Cinematography. We now offer industrial aerial photography services focusing on automated mapping, survey and inspection.

What we offer in aerial photography services?
We have pioneered Aerial Drone (UAV) and camera stabilization platforms (gimbals) since 2014, and have perfected the craft. We are thrilled at the opportunity drones and these stabilizing gimbals have on the cinema and photography business! A helicopter movie shot that used to cost thousands per hour and was very dangerous due to the pilot and cameraman on board, as well as dangerous jet fuel on board and on the ground ready to refill, and has many moving parts that had to be constantly serviced with an on-set helicopter mechanic. These are now replaced with a much more efficient, precise and safer way of getting that aerial tracking or establishing shot. There is very little downdraft (rotor wash) that helicopters create on their filming subjects below, and the drones can get tighter with more precise shots and moves. They can fly at up to 70mph, following or tracking any object in a pre-programmed shot sequence or with a remote pilot using a visual manual control.

LOCATION SCOUTING & MANAGEMENT
Insider knowledge of the best times, seasons and locations around The American West, focusing on Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks and Jackson Hole.

We know The American West better than anyone else and have found locations for renowned clients and directors such as AT&T/Michael Bay, Mountain Dew, Nike, Michelin, Disney and HBO, just to name a few. We have been producing commercials and videos in these areas for over 25 years and know the most visual/photographic areas that will fit your needs and production budget.
Having been located in Jackson Hole for over 25 years, Bridger Productions knows the area in detail and has many contacts with ranch managers and landowners. However, we are not restricted to the Wild West, we also location scout and manage all over the world.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming is one of the most scenic areas in North America. Within minutes of town are snow-capped peaks, clear water rivers, pristine glacial lakes, colorful wildflower meadows, desert landscapes, streams, amazing waterfalls, rugged wilderness, ranches, cowboys, cabins, herds of elk and buffalo… the list goes on. Not to mention, Yellowstone is just 45 minutes away and Grand Teton National Park is just 20 minutes away. It’s no surprise that many movies and commercials are filmed here. The small town of Jackson itself has maintained its Old West Traditions.
