1080 Studios

What 1080 Studios does

1080 Studios is a Denver, Colorado-based, founder-owned full-service video production company founded circa 1999 and built around Director of Photography Bob Tatlock's 20+ years of broadcast experience. The company delivers HD, UHD, and 4K video production across broadcast television, corporate communications, commercials, documentary, sports, music videos, and live event coverage for clients including NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, PBS, TNT, ESPN, NFL Network, HBO Sports, Discovery Channel, HGTV, TLC, Cisco, HP, Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, and Yahoo News.

The company's production stack is anchored by an extensive in-house equipment inventory that includes Sony FX9 (Netflix approved), Sony F-55, Sony FX3, and Panasonic HPX2000 cameras; Litepanels, Aputure, and Arri lighting; Kessler Crane motion control; a complete Sound Devices / Sennheiser / Zaxcom field audio package; FAA-certified drone pilots for aerial cinematography; LiveU bonded cellular transmission for remote live streaming; fiber optic transmission; and robotic camera systems. Post-production capabilities include on-location editing, color grading, and remote rough-cut review. This owned-equipment model is positioned as a cost-control mechanism that avoids external rental markups.

1080 Studios monetizes through project-based professional services (custom crew assembly per engagement), equipment rental, crew booking, and live streaming — all quote-based with multi-year contract cadence per available pricing signals. The company operates a single-country/domestic go-to-market centered on direct enterprise field sales to broadcast networks, cable channels, Fortune 500 corporations, and advertising agencies, supplemented by organic social (Facebook, Instagram), a website portfolio, and client-logo-driven earned-media positioning. It has received industry recognition across the Telly Awards, Communicator Awards, Omni Intermedia Awards, Aegis Awards, Media Communications Association Awards, and Videographer Awards, and is independently owned with no disclosed investors, parent entity, or M&A activity.
