The United States Navy contacted Circuit Media for help raising awareness about their first-in-class “ERSS” training course. Having had no prior experience writing content for the military, Cody conducted in-depth research during development that included reading hundreds of pages of FEAs and executive summaries, and conducting interviews with various military personnel involved in the program. The COVID-19 pandemic prevented Cody and his team from scouting the site in-person as originally planned, so instead, Cody used photographs, maps, and video tours of Camp Pendleton to pre-produce the film. On-site, the crew followed a minute-to-minute schedule, prepared weeks in advance, as not to interfere with training. They had only one chance to capture the footage needed and ultimately delivered the project to the client’s immense satisfaction.
