“Reaching Above Potential Creating Opportunities”
Welcome to RAPCO MEDIA, a cinematic media production company founded by Chris Rapley. With a passion for storytelling and a drive to succeed, Chris embarked on his journey in 2016, creating commercials and covering events for small businesses and non-profit organizations throughout South Georgia. With hard work and determination, RAPCO MEDIA soon expanded its reach to neighboring states.
Despite working a full-time job outside of the media industry, Chris continued to pursue his dream. As he freelanced for CBS 44 during its transition period, he realized the importance of furthering his skills in cinematography. In 2019, he enrolled in the Digital Cinematography Bachelor’s program at Full Sail University, where he graduated in 2021.
During the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chris conducted interviews with Albany, GA city officials, shedding light on the hardships faced by the community. In 2022, he was offered and accepted a position at Marquee Broadcasting South, Inc stations, including CBS44, WSST My 55, and METV Albany. Despite his role at these stations, Chris continues to operate RAPCO MEDIA, primarily focusing on video production on the weekends.
Inspired by the new department at CBS 44, Chris enrolled in the New Media Journalism Master’s program at Full Sail University. He recognized the importance of sharing stories that don’t often make it to the news rundown. With this in mind, he set out to make RAPCO MEDIA the cinematic voice for these stories.
The name RAPCO is an acronym for two sayings – “Rise Above Poverty Conquer Oppression” and “Reaching Above Potential Creating Opportunities.” With these values at its core, RAPCO MEDIA aims to create high-quality, meaningful content that uplifts and empowers communities. Trust us to share your story and make your voice heard.
Editing
Post-production is a significant part of videography. RAPCO uses video editing software such as Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe After Effects to trim and arrange video clips, add transitions, apply visual effects, adjust colors, and synchronize audio. Editing enhances the overall flow and coherence of the video
Storytelling
Often used as a storytelling medium. Videographers employ narrative techniques, visual sequences, and creative editing to convey a message or evoke emotions in the audience. Effective storytelling helps engage viewers and deliver a compelling message.
Our Process
We pay close attention to detail when it comes to composition, framing, and camera angles to create visually pleasing shots. They consider factors such as the rule of thirds, depth of field, leading lines, and balance to create aesthetically appealing visuals.
