Why JLB Media Productions?
Award Winning Director/Producer: With founder and in-house director / producer Jonathan L. Bowen at the helm, we bring Hollywood style and professionalism to each project. Bowen has the creative and technical expertise to make your project great, in addition to writing and editing skills to maximize your marketing message. Bowen's goal is to make JLB Media Productions a leader among corporate video companies by offering custom video production to each client, tailoring videos to match specific needs. Bowen's music videos and feature film have earned numerous awards, including a Grand Jury Prize, several Best Comedy Feature awards, three Best Music Video awards, and a Best Rock Music Video award, among others.
High End Professional Film Equipment & Crew: We work with professionals in their fields, using an array of sophisticated film equipment that assures smooth, professional, clean videos. Your video is your image, and we believe our clients want their customers to be presented with the best image possible. We have excellent resources for music, sound effects, and motion graphics to make every project sizzle.
Best in Class Customer Service: We’ve found we are most valuable to our clients when we are focused on their individual needs from start to finish, which means making each project a custom video production. We pride ourselves on creating each video to suit the current needs of the client, and taking the time to make sure we understand their message so we can communicate it effectively. Internet video production requires attention to detail for the client's message and market positioning. We also strive to save all of our client’s projects for a minimum of five years by running three backup RAID devices, or arrays of hard drives with the ability for multiple drives to fail and your data to remain safe. Offsite backup is also done for emergency situations, giving you peace of mind that we can re-edit your video at a later date or add elements should you need it. Other corporate video companies often hand off your project to you and delete it immediately.
Full Service Offering, From Creation to Distribution: Our service to you does not end when editing finishes. We believe in providing continuing service to our clients by helping you integrate your Web video production into your company's site, redesign your Website for maximum functionality and impact, distribute your video to multiple online channels, and provide social media marketing strategies. We are a corporate video production company that believes in offering a complete solution for maximizing new media and integrating video into your site in a way that will help your search engine rankings, attract more customers, and give you an advantage over the competition in tough economic times.

Jeremy Brunson, our Lead Editor, always liked puzzles. A digital native, Jeremy sought to combine two things that interested him: movies and computers. His two interests naturally led to editing picture and sound for a myriad of projects. Jeremy followed his passion to the University of North Carolina School of the Arts where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Editing and Sound.
In the years since his graduation, Jeremy has worked on a variety of projects from cutting-edge Web series to award-winning documentaries. He also spent two years as one of the primary editors for Time, Inc. Digital Lifestyle Group (MyRecipes.com, SouthernLiving.com, Health.com, CookingLight.com, and many more). Brunson moved to Los Angeles in late 2009 and has been working with JLB since early 2010.
Jeremy is proficient at a variety of editing systems and software programs, so he is able to help us with motion graphics, file exports, DVD creation, color correction, and any other essential tasks that go along with a professional, polished finished product. He also helps coordinate with other post-production professionals when we contract work out to third parties for specialty tasks like highly involved motion graphics work.
