Perpetual Motion Pictures is a dream team for film and video production in Iowa. Community storytelling is a common theme in my work with cities and counties across the state, and the short, community-focused videos produced by the folks at Perpetual Motion Pictures have helped tell powerful and inspiring stories about the values and histories of these places. Their knack for weaving together a strong narrative, attention to detail, and creative energy exceeded our expectations. Their professionalism and collaborative spirit made the process enjoyable and exciting each time. I highly recommend them for commercial and community-based video production, and their creative work is spectacular too!
