Working on the new Stilwell Hotel with Charles Gruwell, was an inspiring experience that showcased innovative documentation, artistic vision, and exceptional collaboration.

Over three years, we uniquely captured the complete remodel of the hotel, documenting twelve major construction milestones to create an unparalleled visual narrative. The project resulted in two powerful videos that blend footage from before, during, and after the renovation, synchronized to showcase the hotel's transformation over time. The trailer provides a glimpse into the remarkable changes, while the full tour video offers a detailed walkthrough with Charles Gruwell himself. (Available upon request)

Charles's expertise in design is evident in every frame, as his innovative approach and precise vision redefined the hotel’s aesthetic, creating a new brand and style. His hands-on involvement and clear direction for House of 8 Media was pivotal to the project’s success. Together, we crafted a film of which we are incredibly proud.

Charles Gruwell is a true master of design, and it has been an honor to work with him on this project. We are proud to share this video and hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Thank you for watching and experiencing this hotel's transformation. If you have a major remodel or construction project planned, I’m seeking another project just like this one. These videos involved precision in synchronizing my camera movements from the ground and sky over multiple days and crossfading between the different angles, which made this project a unique challenge. I’ve learned a lot from this process and I'm eager to apply what I’ve learned to do this even better next time.
