MediaTwins
We offer media content from concept to completion with a focus on branding and communication alongside our history in documentary film and television.
Based in Savannah, Georgia, we serve the entire Southeast region and beyond.
Services
Creative
We pull from years of work in the creative services to craft original, brand-conscious content that excels while remaining budget-conscious. With Kristian’s Emmy nominations for both the CNN documentary series “Pope: The Most Powerful Man in History” and our Kino Flo commercial, plus his Oscar-shortlisted documentary “Quest for Honor,” we bring proven creative excellence to documentary, commercial, and corporate production. Our approach combines broadcast-level storytelling with strategic brand thinking developed through decades of work for Discovery, HBO, CNN, and National Geographic.
Production Services
We offer a full suite of practical production possibilities from fulfilling the needs of the smallest of local clients to executing major set pieces for larger ones. Our Wilmington Island facility features an 18’x20’x8’ insert studio, professional lighting packages, grip and electric equipment, and cinema cameras. Based in Savannah, we regularly serve clients throughout the Southeast and handle international productions with the same technical excellence. Our experience spans six continents—from Iraq War documentaries to Vatican filming—bringing world-class logistical expertise to projects of any scale.
Editorial
As part of the complete production package, MediaTwins offers editorial services and final deliverables that satisfy a wide spectrum of end user needs. Our post-production capabilities include editing, color grading, motion graphics, sound design, and delivery in any format or specification required. Whether you need social media cuts, broadcast deliverables, website content, or presentation materials, we handle the complete editorial process with the same technical precision that defines our cinematography.
Consulting
MediaTwins pulls from three decades of extensive and diverse industry experience to offer consulting services tailored to help any company make their visual offerings effective, brand conscious, and captivating. Our consulting draws on experience ranging from Oscar-shortlisted feature documentaries to Emmy-nominated network series. Whether you need production planning, equipment recommendations, workflow optimization, crew sourcing, location scouting, or strategic storytelling guidance, we provide insights developed across hundreds of documentary, commercial, corporate, and narrative productions worldwide.
MediaTwins operates from Wilmington Island, just minutes from historic downtown Savannah, Georgia.
Our location offers the perfect blend of accessibility and creative environment, featuring:
• Professional Insert Studio: 18’x20’x8′ controlled shooting environment for interviews, product photography, green screen work, and small-scale productions
• Equipment Rental Services: Comprehensive inventory of professional lighting packages, grip and electric equipment, and cinema cameras available for regional productions
• Post-Production: Full editorial capabilities for efficient project turnaround
While our Wilmington Island office serves as our home base, the majority of our work takes us on location throughout the Southeast and internationally. We understand that authentic storytelling happens where your story unfolds—whether that’s a corporate headquarters in Atlanta, a manufacturing facility in Charleston, a historic site in Savannah’s downtown squares, or a remote documentary location halfway around the world.

From our Savannah location, MediaTwins regularly serves clients throughout:
• Georgia: Savannah, Atlanta, Augusta, Brunswick, Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island
• South Carolina: Charleston, Hilton Head Island, Beaufort, Columbia, Greenville
• Florida: Jacksonville, Amelia Island, St. Augustine, and Northeast Florida

Partnerships Matter
Our Valued Clients
At MediaTwins, we’re proud of the connections we’ve built with clients from many different fields. Our work ranges from video creation for local businesses to extensive branding projects for international companies. Each collaboration is customized to meet unique needs and create lasting impact.
dFusion had the fantastic opportunity to work with MediaTwins on a video series serving the autism community. This project's scope was quite large. Not only did Kristian, Vanessa, and their team consistently go above and beyond in every facet of the video production, but they were also incredibly supportive, respectful, and skilled when working with our talent on the autism spectrum. Despite tight timelines and challenging locations and conditions, MediaTwins maintained an extremely high standard of excellence and attention to detail.
We have had the pleasure of working with MediaTwins on several very complex and dynamic projects that were filmed in multiple locations across the United States for our fortune 500 corporate clients. What sets MediaTwins apart is not just their unparalleled expertise in film production but their remarkable adaptability and commitment to excellence. They possess a rare combination of technical proficiency, creative vision, and attention to detail that ensures every shot is captured flawlessly.
Filming in a brand-new location with a new crew can be stressful at the best of times, especially when it’s a remote interview shoot. Yet Kristian and Vanessa made everything run smoothly and went above and beyond to make sure that the shoot was a success. Their professionalism shone through, and they treated our vulnerable contributors with amazing kindness, meaning that our whole team could relax and get everything they needed form the interviews.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of video production does MediaTwins specialize in?
MediaTwins specializes in documentary filmmaking, commercial production, corporate video, and cinematic content across all formats. Our work ranges from Oscar-shortlisted feature documentaries and Emmy-nominated network series to regional commercial campaigns and corporate communications. Whether you need a 30-second commercial, a training video, a brand documentary, or a multi-episode series, we bring the same broadcast-quality production values and storytelling expertise developed over three decades in the industry.
Where is MediaTwins located and what areas do you serve?
We’re based near Savannah, Georgia, and regularly serve clients throughout the Southeast including Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama. Our primary service areas include Savannah, Charleston, Hilton Head, Jacksonville, Atlanta, and coastal Georgia/South Carolina. However, our extensive international production experience means we handle projects anywhere in the world. We’ve filmed across six continents, from Iraq to the Vatican, so distance is never a limitation.
What makes MediaTwins different from other video production companies?
MediaTwins brings credentials rarely found outside major production hubs. Kristian Dane Lawing is an Emmy-nominated cinematographer and Society of Camera Operators member whose work includes the Oscar-shortlisted documentary “Quest for Honor,” CNN’s Emmy-nominated series “Pope: The Most Powerful Man in History,” and six years as cinematographer for National Geographic’s “When Sharks Attack.” Combined with Vanessa Nunes’s 38 years of on-camera experience and production expertise, we offer Hollywood-caliber talent with boutique studio personalized service. Unlike regional competitors who subcontract key roles, we handle everything in-house from pre-production through final delivery.
Do you work with small businesses or only large corporate clients?
We work with clients of all sizes, from Savannah startups needing their first brand video to Fortune 500 companies requiring multi-location productions. Our facility and equipment inventory allow us to scale efficiently—small projects receive the same technical excellence as larger ones, just with appropriately sized crews and timelines. We’re particularly effective at delivering broadcast-quality results for regional businesses at budget-conscious rates because we own our equipment and handle production in-house rather than subcontracting.
What’s your typical production timeline?
Timelines vary based on project scope, but typical turnarounds are: simple corporate interviews or testimonials (1-2 weeks from shoot to delivery), commercial spots (2-4 weeks including creative development), corporate videos with multiple locations (3-6 weeks), and documentary projects (varies widely based on scope). We’re experienced at working within tight deadlines when necessary—our broadcast background means we’re accustomed to delivering on schedule without compromising quality. Rush projects are possible depending on our calendar.
Do you offer equipment rental separately from production services?
Yes. We maintain a comprehensive inventory of professional lighting packages, grip and electric equipment, and cinema cameras available for rental to other productions filming in the Savannah area. This includes everything from basic interview lighting kits to sophisticated packages for larger productions. We also rent our 18’x20’x8’ insert studio. Contact us for specific equipment lists, availability, and rental rates.
Can you handle both documentary and commercial work?
Absolutely. Kristian’s background includes eight years as an art director (including the Microsoft Network 2.0 launch) before transitioning to cinematography, which informs our commercial work. His documentary credits include National Geographic, Discovery, CNN, HBO, and the Oscar-shortlisted “Quest for Honor.” His commercial work earned a 2025 Emmy nomination for the Kino Flo spot “Who’s the Real Star.” This dual expertise means we bring documentary authenticity to commercial storytelling and commercial polish to documentary work—the best of both approaches.
What’s included in your full production services?
Our full-service approach covers concept development, scriptwriting, pre-production planning, location scouting, all cinematography and production, audio recording, lighting design, grip and electric, production management, post-production editing, color grading, motion graphics, sound design, and final delivery in any format required. We can handle projects entirely in-house or collaborate with your existing team. You work directly with the principals (Kristian and Vanessa) throughout the process, not junior staff.
Do you travel for productions or only work locally?
We regularly travel for productions throughout the Southeast and internationally. Our experience includes documentary work across six continents, from conflict zones to controlled studio environments. We understand international logistics, customs procedures, location permitting, and working with local crews worldwide. Whether your project is in downtown Savannah or across the globe, we bring the same production expertise and equipment capabilities. Travel and accommodation costs are factored into project budgets transparently.
What camera equipment and production gear do you use?
We own and operate professional cinema camera packages, extensive lighting inventory including tungsten, HMI, and LED units, comprehensive grip and electric gear, and professional audio equipment. Our 18’x20’x8’ insert studio provides controlled shooting environments for interviews, green screen, and product work. Specific equipment is selected based on project requirements—we match technical specs to creative needs rather than forcing projects into predetermined packages. We can also source specialized equipment for unique production requirements.
How do you price your services?
Pricing depends on project scope, timeline, deliverables, and production complexity. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs transparently—no hidden fees or surprise charges. Small projects like simple corporate interviews might range from a few thousand dollars, while larger commercial or documentary productions scale accordingly. Our equipment ownership and in-house capabilities often make us more cost-effective than competitors who subcontract. Contact us with your project details for a specific quote.
Can you help with pre-production planning and creative development?
Yes. Pre-production is where great projects are built. We assist with concept development, scriptwriting, storyboarding, location scouting, talent coordination, scheduling, permitting, and all logistical planning. Kristian’s advertising background and three decades of production experience mean we can help shape your vision into achievable production plans. Whether you come to us with a fully developed concept or just an idea, we’ll help craft the creative approach and execution strategy.
What post-production services do you offer?
Our on-site post-production capabilities include editing (DaVinci Resolve), color grading, motion graphics, sound design, mixing, and delivery in any format or specification. We handle everything from rough cuts through final color correction and export. We can deliver for broadcast specifications, social media platforms, websites, presentations, or any other end use. Our editorial team maintains the same attention to technical excellence that defines our cinematography.
Do you have experience with sensitive subjects or vulnerable populations?
Yes. Our work includes documentary projects addressing difficult subjects like honor killings (“Quest for Honor”), productions with autism community participants (dFusion’s Skillflix series), people with amelia (Hanger Foundation) and numerous projects requiring cultural sensitivity and discretion. Vanessa’s on-camera experience brings particular insight into working with people nervous about filming. We approach every subject with respect, professionalism, and understanding that great storytelling requires trust and authentic connection.
