Our Mission

The Motion Grove has always been, and always will be about creating together in a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

Our ultimate goal in every piece we create is for everyone to leave feeling fulfilled, their vision heard, and their experience to be remembered as a positive one. We above all else, value kindness, and that extends to our crew, clients, talent and anyone else involved with our projects. We don’t want a video production experience to be stressful, but rather seamless. The process is as important as the final product, and a process filled with positivity and fun will always show itself in the final product. We also strive to be fair in our pricing and budgeting, to provide an extremely polished and high quality product at a reasonable value. We treat each project with focused care and attention, we take pride in our professionalism, and always aim to deliver quality pieces with heart, ahead of schedule.

We look forward to creating something with you.

“If you work really hard, and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”

Daniel Regner

Founder, Director & Cinematographer

From an early age using cameras to tell stories has been an integral part of Daniel’s life. Starting with a background in narrative filmmaking, Daniel has spent the last 16+ years working professionally in corporate and commercial production, acquiring skills and experience in directing, cinematography, and video editing. Along the way, the most important thing he’s learned is how important it is to have a good team, relentless positivity, and an enduring work ethic to truly push projects to their greatest potential.

Daniel started The Motion Grove to continue this mission.
