The Making of MIIR

Creating three short films in one day for MIIR was a collaborative effort, seamlessly integrating music and visuals. Each film uniquely captures the essence of MIIR’s technology – which identifies the most impactful moments in a recorded song. The technology guided the narrative arcs of the films, aligning pivotal visual moments with musical peaks.

The shoot was led by Jon Maichel Thomas and Craig Laurence Rice as Co-Directors/Producers and Steve Speers as the Director of Photography. The production used techniques like Steadicam to create distinct tempos and atmospheres for each film. From a late-for-work journey to a heartfelt family reunion, the films showcase MIIR’s innovative software and give MIIR a compelling sales tool that highlights its impact on everyday life.
