Now that I have a camera, I need a name for my productions...

Everything that I have came up with so far has been pretty sad. If any of you could help, that would be great. I want the name to have something to do with like nature foresty kind of stuff. I plan on doing Documentaries, Wildlife films, and fantasy films.

The best thing I cam up with was Summit Sunrise Studios. But that is where my creativity stopped.

Any help would be great!
Thanks!

Okay, I'll bite. How about...

Timberline Productions
Upstream Productions
Creative River Productions

Maybe those are no good but can spark something else for you.

Thanks, Greg.

I like the "Creative River Productions". Maybe I'll use that... But first I'll wait and see if anyone else has some suggestions.

Keep em' coming, please!

Thanks!

Gabriel,

If you went with Creative River Adventure Productions, you would be CRAP for short. :) Actually Creative River invokes an upbeat, dynamic image. Always changing, yet always reliably constant.

Using your 3-S alliteration, how about 'Silver Summit Studios' or 'Stone Summit Studios'.

Or you may want to choose something that fits your personality. I think for you that 'Eager Beaver Video Productions' might work.

Or you could go with an animal that moves forward only when it sticks it's neck out. 'Painted Turtle Productions'

Have fun with it.

Good Luck

Thanks, guys! I'll keep them all in mind.
But for now, lets keep them coming.

I have got to say, "I'm glad that I thought to ask for help here."

Thanks!

Hey, there's another one Gabriel...."Stream of Thought Studios". Gee, maybe I should charge for these things. (hehe)

Thanks, Greg. haha, you should start a name making business.

Stream of thoughts studios is a good one.
But still have not made a decision on a name yet.

Thanks guys,

How about, Digital Mist?

By itself or add something like productions, studio, videography or creations.

I like, Digital Mist Productions.

Thanks, everyone! These are some great names in here. Its amazing that one forum can give you some many ideas. Thanks, Chris and others!

I'm still holding off for that "perfect" (or as close to it that I can get) name that fits what I do, tho...

Thanks again everyone.

Well Gabriel, you might wish to start thinking of a name based on the ideas you've been given. There's only so much help you are going to get before people will tire of you saying, "still holding off".

This is true... I don't mean it in a bad way at all when I say it, I just have not yet found one that I am 100% happy with.

I am putting thought into it, and trying to mix the names, but have only came up with the names (from putting them together), Misty River Productions, Silver Mist Productions, and Summit Mist Studios.

Thanks guys!

another way to approach this would be to let your footage inspire your name instead of the other way around. put that camera to work and follow where it leads you...

I like that Meryem! Thanks. I was just trying to find one so I can start having my friend make me a site, that I can put them on. Thats all.

Thanks!

I named my production company after the street on which I made my first (ridiculous and comedic and in no way "professional") movie. I could just as easily have named it after that first movie ("China Night Pictures"... hmmm...) .

The point being: the name doesn't have to have anything to do with the content of your work at all. You could name it after your sister or your girlfriend or your favorite Greek food. Whatever. Be creative.

(Everyone in town seems to think I live on Oak Street because of the name, but that's fine with me because I'm a confirmed hermit and don't want anyone to know where I live anyway :) )

Small world...

I was thinking of naming my company Oak Street Films, then I saw yours.

I actually have lived on Oak Street for 8 years...Instead I went with the street name (Cutlass Lookout) of a cottage we have on a small island (which I mortgaged to buy my new gear)
http://www.cutlassfilm.com/beta

The Islands streets are all pirate themed, so I'm playing off of that.

Thanks guys! But I am not sure what I want it to be named yet, I think today I will try as much as I can to think of one...

Your right, It does not need to have anything to do with what I make. But I do want a name that I wont change in just one year. That is why I am putting so much work into trying to make one. I came up with one a long time ago, but it is so hard for anyone to remember. But I don't know, you guys tell me what you think, it was "Extranjero Productions". Its spanish for "Alain".

A friend of mine made a easy logo for me. I'll make it an attachment.

Thanks everyone!
