This past Saturday was our annual Family Picnic! Peoples Bank employees from all over Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland gathered with their families at The Forge: Lemont Quarries for a day of activities, food, music, and fun! Thanks so much to everyone who came, The Forge for being so accommodating, as well as the employees who brought this event to life. We had a fantastic time!

Behind the curtain (TLDR). This was our process for the Richardson Sports video:
- Client briefed us on the idea, Quality in Every Stitch v2
- We concept Hat Valley with the RS team, crafted up a loose storyline and interview questions and started preproduction: gear, locations, lodging, snacks, shot list, snacks, all the things.
- Meanwhile we started putting together a playlist of vibe inspiration for the music creation, discussing with RS team - heaps of vibe alignment. Discussion of guitar tones, and musical eras and favorite artists and why it works. It’s the best.
- Production in Eugene for 2 days: 4 interviews, b roll of many many locations, snacks and about 30 soda waters (just me) and some waffles.
- Back to Portland where we then track the songs. Monday morning at 9 am and you’re tracking music professionally, you have a “this is my job now” moment and get back to work. Four 2 minute songs in 4 hours and then home with Tommy to mix.
- Video editing and art / design prep along with photo selects and color grading are next. Lots of revisions, nothing that sexy in this phase but it’s also everything. F**k this up and you lose.
- Edit rounds galore, client feedback. First one is always scary, because there’s always so much feedback. It’s the moment you realize how different the vision in your head is from the vision in their head - and then the process of aligning those visions or creating a better more singular vision (the goal, and outcome of this video - I think).
- Final color graded video is delivered, along with multiple vertical and horizontal short cut “teaser” videos. We pride ourselves on the borderline obscene amount of content we deliver. We also hand over youtube thumbnail, selects and really whatever else is requested.
- Delivery to the masses, along with the moment of complete exhilaration at finishing a big project. Also, the inevitable crash and panic of now what - until you look at your todo list and realize it will be fine.

In a dimly lit space filled with casks, a moment of reflection:
Our client holds a precious sample from his cask—deep ruby-red whisky, matured over years of patience and care.
But here’s the thing: this bottle is more than just liquid.
🏰 It’s history.
🥃 It’s tradition.
💫 It’s legacy.
At Whisky Solutions, we know that investing in a cask isn’t just about financial returns. It’s about creating something that endures, something that future generations will hold dear.
This small bottle? It’s the culmination of time, craftsmanship, and passion. But above all, it’s a gift—one that shares a piece of yourself with those you love. 👨👩👧👦
When you hold your cask’s future in your hands, think of the stories it will tell, the memories it will create, and the legacy it will leave.
This is more than whisky.
It’s heritage in a bottle.
A legacy that transcends time.
Raise a glass to the future and to the moments that bring us together. 🥃
We’re honoured to be part of your journey in creating a legacy that will stand the test of time.
