148 Studios

Meet Vincent Eg Monte, Video Editor at 148 Studios. Vincent takes the footage captured on set and turns it into a finished story through editing, sound, pacing, and color. In his words, the process is simple: import, cut, paste, hunt, mix, color, repeat. What he loves most about filmmaking is being able to transform an idea into something people can see, feel, and experience.

At 148, Vincent has developed a particular passion for color grading and continues to push himself creatively with every project. He draws inspiration from other filmmakers, builds a playlist to set the tone before diving into an edit, and pays close attention to the details that shape the final story. One of his favorite projects so far was MCA’s “The Y,” his first official TV commercial and a project that taught him lessons he still carries into his work today.

When he’s not editing, you might find Vincent feeding stray dogs, playing basketball, making his nightly cold brew, or planning a future shoot somewhere like Lake Como, Napa Valley, or Mayon Volcano. And if there’s music playing while he works, there’s a pretty good chance it’s Sabrina Carpenter.

A day well spent connecting with Chattanooga’s business community.

The 148 Studios team had a great time at the Chattanooga Chamber Business Expo today, meeting new faces, catching up with familiar ones, and sharing a little more about what we do.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth!

A little behind the scenes from this week.

From setup to the final take, there’s a whole lot that happens outside the frame to bring a project to life. Another great shoot with the 148 crew doing what we do best.

Meet Emma Sofia, Production Coordinator at 148 Films. Emma helps keep projects moving long before the cameras start rolling, handling pre-production communication, coordinating with talent, and making sure all the pieces are in place for a successful shoot. She also keeps the rest of the team on their toes with a steady stream of hypothetical questions throughout the day.

With experience on the talent side of the industry, Emma brings a unique perspective to casting and talent coordination. She loves helping people bring their vision to life, meeting new people, and getting the chance to learn something new on every set. One of her favorite projects at 148 has been Curate Symphony, where an incredible group of talent and plenty of creative freedom made for a shoot to remember.

When she’s not coordinating a production, you’ll probably find Emma with an iced banana matcha and dried mango nearby, playing her harmonium, or insisting that Pixels is cinematic inspiration. She’s a city girl who would still choose a countryside shoot, a sunrise call time over golden hour, and, when asked Nikon or Canon, Polaroid. No further questions.

Happy Monday from the 148 crew.

Another week, another round of stories to tell. We’ve got a full week ahead and plenty of time on set doing what we love. Let’s get to it.

A full week on set, multiple projects in the works, and a whole lot to be grateful for.

Weeks like this are a reminder of how lucky we are to do what we do. Incredible clients who trust us with their stories, a team that shows up and gives their best to every project, and the opportunity to keep creating work we’re proud of.
