Skytheory

Skytheory is an Emmy®-winning video production company in Denver, Colorado. Founded in 2010, we produce commercials, branded content, corporate video, documentary and live broadcasts for brands, agencies and healthcare organizations, from creative development through final delivery.

We work from our own pre-lit stage in Denver's RiNo Arts District: a 24'×30' cyclorama, green screen, a professional lighting grid, a private greenroom and 10 free parking spaces. The stage rents on its own, or as an All-In day with a director of photography, 6K cinema cameras, lighting, audio, makeup and craft service.

Clients include Denver Health, NBC Universal, Comcast, Duracell, Vail Resorts and the State of Colorado. Our Denver Health Medical Plan spot "On Your Time" won a Heartland Emmy® in 2024.

Much of our work is in healthcare and other regulated categories. We plan for legal review from the first script, so the work clears it without losing its point of view. We deliver at campaign scale: a :30 with :15 and :10 cutdowns, each in English and Spanish.

We also consult on media and content libraries, planning how a large body of video is shot, organized and reused for years. One recent library ran to 185 videos from a five-camera stage setup. Remote clients direct the shoot live from wherever they are, so national teams can film in Denver without flying out.

Underneath it all is creative direction with a process: clear decisions on narrative, tone and look, made early. Founder Allen McLain is an Eagle Scout, and the company runs on the same ideas: be prepared, and align values with creative execution, in front of and behind the camera.
