Featured Projects
NCEL - Neighbors
Full post production on this spot for our partners at Cactus. You wouldn’t think that there’s tons of cleanup work here, but there is. Of the many challenges shooting outdoors, wind and cloud cover are the most common to harass the creatives.
Fortunately, Pinto was able to de-wind and de-cloud much of the footage.
Also, the talent crushed this spot.
Root Sports - Rockets Image
Roots Sports expanded into Houston and became the local sports broadcaster for the Rockets, Astros and Dynamo.
They called on Pinto to produce a standout campaign that would make a lasting impression on the viewers and market.
Pinto handled creative and production, delivering customizable graphics packages, image spots and numerous promos. The Rockets Image spot was nominated for a ProMax.

Whether it’s agency driven or brand direct, Pinto is a happy collaborator. Pinto shepherds TVCs through the entire post process leaning on decades of industry experience in project management and technique.
-
The thing about features is the scale. Not just the amount of footage but the size of the team, the number of vendors. Post on a feature is all about organization and communication to guide pipelines and processes.
-
Shows and series for traditional linear broadcast, streaming platforms and YouTube.
-
The most human stories requires a delicate touch and much craft. 8 different cameras spanning 3 years and 2 continents. No problem. Half iPhone and half Sony FX6? No problem.
-
The ultimate in fun and expression. Let’s push it and make it sing (get it?). No one wants BLAH music videos. They have to have a voice (get it again?) and style.
-
Our fave! Whether narrative, doc or avant-garde shorts can push our notion of cinema. Often the proving ground for your filmmakers, they are the perfect medium to explore story telling and craft.
-
More and more social content as each year goes by. Different aspect rations, multiple TRTs filling numerous buckets, three dozen deliverables, 12 different distribution routes, each with it’s own spec.
Creating and delivering for social can be messy. Pinto cleans it up!

Brian didn't just color-time UCK, he managed the entire post pipeline from dailies, exports, conforming elements, then a final grade… I’d hand Brian the reins for any film, no hesitation, his creative and technical input were invaluable and I’m excited to do more projects with him! Simply put, he rocks.
~ Ty Bradford, Writer/Director, UCK… Pinto and Brian have been indispensable partners - from online edit and color correction to coordinating with sound studios and screening venues, we could rely on Pinto to provide the most brilliant and professional service - all while making it an absolute pleasure to bring our project to fruition…
