At Applied Art & Technology, we have a flair for cutting-edge video production with a creative bent. Our strategic approach combines powerful storytelling with a wealth of video production experience.
We understand your need to stay ahead of the competition with new and engaging ideas, and we’ve made it a habit of adapting to and even predicting dozens of industry trends since our first shoot over 25 years ago. In other words, we evolve. And our videos evolve right along with us.
Since then, we have seen ourselves grow into the leading, full-service digital studio in the Des Moines area. And it’s our mission to provide high-quality, award-winning video production services across the state of Iowa and beyond.

Perhaps more than any other technology, video has revolutionized the ways in which marketers approach audience engagement. As a truly visual mode of communication, video offers many advantages that written text – and even graphics – simply don’t have.
We have a lot of experience in video production — 25 years, to be exact.
As an industry-leading creative digital studio, we’ve produced some of the most memorable, engaging and innovative videos in all of the Midwest. From traditional broadcast TV spots to corporate training to digital marketing videos that can be used on multiple channels, we’ll create a video that will get the results (and views) you’re looking for. And we’re still passionate to create and innovate!

We’re proud to say that we boast the best video tools on the market, as well as the most experienced videographers, producers and editors in Des Moines. Our RED camera can capture images in stunning 8K resolution, and our creative team will make sure that every one of those 8,000 pixels count.
We can take on a project at any stage and create something truly memorable and powerful. We can concept your idea, organize the shoot, recruit the talent and then do all the shooting, lighting, directing, editing and graphics work — so you don’t have to.
We start by looking at your project from a holistic standpoint, gathering a palette of creative elements that best unifies your brand image. This can include the concept, music, color grading, graphics and final edit. By having your aesthetic vision established from the start, we can then direct most of our focus to crafting a compelling story that will connect with your audience and, ultimately, relate back to your core mission and value proposition. After all, we want your video to not only look pretty but to get results.
Our team will work closely with you to understand your business objectives at the outset of the project — so we can exceed those objectives later on. It’s important for us to be in regular communication and to share immediate feedback as your video takes shape so that there are no surprises. But don’t worry! We promise we’ll do all the heavy lifting.
Our innovative digital studio features a 3,000 square foot soundstage, complete with extensive soundproofing, green screen technology and a host of other capabilities to create whatever you need for a shoot whenever we decide not to go on location.
We have nearly every light under the sun at our disposal — including the sun! We also know how to make a camera move just right with our world-class video team utilizing the best dollies, tracks and gimbals on the market.
With three fully-equipped suites, we can accomodate on-site or remote edits throughout our post-production process.
We know what it takes to create a video that is not only eye catching but gets results.
But don’t take it from us. We’ll let John Kenjar, VP of Marketing & Public Relations at Greater Iowa Credit Union, explain how our “Walking Dead”-inspired video went viral and led to record engagement for the credit union.
Our state-of-the-art sound stage has 3,000 square feet of customizable space for shooting, the only one of its kind in the state of Iowa.
Our sound stage was engineered as a room within a room and dampens sound in several ways:
In addition to these acoustical features, our sound stage includes a curved cyclorama (cyc) wall to create a seamless, infinite background that has been painted almost every conceivable color at this point. Our tall double doors make it possible to pull a truck right onto the stage, and the high volume/low velocity HVAC is designed to work quietly during shoots, regardless of the number of lights used on set.
800 amps of power are available to power any shoot, and an adjoining make-up room and green room add to the convenience of shooting on our sound stage.
