The owner of Turning Leaf Productions, Chuck Oldright, is an artistic videographer and editor. Turning Leaf Productions produces beautiful videos of all types. Promotional videos, wedding films and corporate events to name a few. After watching his videos you can see he is able to capture incredible detail and takes great pride in his work.

Chuck grew up in a very musical home. His mom taught piano and guitar lessons, and Chuck would listen to the lessons and then play them back by ear. At age 10, Chuck took up the drums. Chuck has a love for jazz music. Over the years he has played with many groups in the Olympia area including The Olympia Jazz Senators, Bert Wilson, The Brown Edition and Gary Scott. It was the drums that led Chuck to play professionally aboard Princess Cruises. He worked for several years as a musician on cruise ships and traveled extensively. “I was traveling the world and wanted to capture all the beauty of the places I was seeing.” That was when Chuck fell in love with photography and creating videos, and he soon found he had a knack for it.

Chuck was determined to get his business rolling right after leaving ships. Though it was a challenge, Chuck’s creative and artistic talents mixed with a bit of tenacity led to success.

Chuck reflects, “When I decided to get off the cruise ship in 2007, I took a job that would get me by while I prepared to start my video production business. But when my employer found out I was going to start my own business, they let me go. That was on a Friday. Saturday morning I grabbed my camera and literally started driving around town looking for ideas and opportunities. I ended up filming a softball tournament and made enough money to feel safe for a few weeks. But I was really scratching for work because I was anxious about not being able to pay rent,” continues Chuck. “So for about a month I was filming softball tournaments. Then I started getting some new work and recognition for my videos. I began doing weddings and getting more great reviews. Now my business has expanded to include a wide variety of clients over the past eight years.”

The Turning Leaf Productions website presents Chuck’s diversity and creativity as a videographer and editor. Currently, most of his clients are small businesses, corporations and wedding parties. However, his video blogs display the array of work from athletic competitions to birthday celebrations and even a local artist who works with feathers. “My customers are really anybody who has a service or product that they want to promote. If you are not using video to promote yourself, you are missing out.” explains Chuck. “Video let’s you hear the business owners voice. You can see and hear their passion for what they do.”

Chuck loves what he does and he invests himself in every project he takes on. He loves having a camera in his hands and when he isn’t filming for work, he is often taking pictures and making videos on his own.

Turning Leaf Productions’ style is unique from other video production businesses. His lighthearted approach makes his customers feel at ease in front of the camera. “I want my customers to have fun when they are being filmed. I want to show their best side. Just like playing jazz, video production often requires a little improvisation from time to time. I love that about my job.”
