Tom MacKnight’s video career technically began in the early 80s when he and his partner came up with what they called “conceptual videos”. Although the idea was never taken to broadcast, music videos became a household word in 1984. In the early 90s, Tom worked closely with a film and video production company as the director of marketing.
In 1994, when the internet was in its infancy, Tom started developing websites and won accolades and awards for his work. His work led to a partnership offer, and after fulfilling his services by developing a web presence for the company, Tom resumed his video production work. He incorporated the use of marketing rental properties with what are now called “Virtual Tours”. This was in 2001/02, before virtual walk-throughs became a mainstay in property marketing. Today, these videos are commonplace and include drone footage as well as photos and videos.
In 2005, Tom started tmack Productions. In 2007, “Thunder on the Gulf”, a one-hour documentary on the world of offshore racing, was shot. Released in 2009/10, the documentary was the first of many documentaries, including shorter corporate documentaries. Since then, tmack Productions has shot reality shows, commercials, and corporate videos, and moved back full circle to providing companies with creating a video presence on the web.
Full service means that we take care of everything from start to finish. Whether you have an idea or a specific plan in mind, we can make it happen.
At the pre-production stage, we take your ideas and organize them to ensure that they are feasible, cost-efficient, and well-planned.
During the production phase, we handle all aspects of the shooting process, including lighting, filming, and audio.
Post-production is the editing stage, where we carefully place your footage to ensure the final product is the best it can be. We can also add graphics using 3D animation or After Effects to make your video more engaging and effective.
Once the video is complete, we can help you distribute it to your audience through various channels such as the internet, DVD, apps, or SSD distribution.
Finally, we archive all of your digital files for future use. If you ever need a copy, we’ve got you covered. We keep all files digitally stored for your convenience.
Tom shifted his area of expertise to the Internet in 1995, recognizing its potential to become a game-changer in the business world. He worked with a company that introduced the Internet to the Birmingham, Alabama area. During this time, he helped several companies transition to marketing on the Internet and developed various websites and web applications.
Later, Tom’s internet applications led to a partnership with the Resort Guide of the Gulf Coast. It was during this partnership that Tom’s passion for video production resurfaced. He created “WebMercials” for his resort clients, which he placed on their websites via video streaming servers. This was before video-sharing services like YouTube existed, and it quickly became a popular marketing product. Since then, Tom has produced over a hundred resort commercials.
Nowadays, most video projects eventually find their way onto the internet in some way or another. Tom can assist with your online distribution options.
The success of a video idea depends on how well it achieves the project’s goals, whether it is sales, awareness, or instructional.

Our ample lighting packages ensure that your footage is well-lit and looks the best it can. Additionally, we provide overhead and wireless microphones for any audio situation.
We utilize state-of-the-art linear editing systems along with advanced graphic software to enhance your project in our post-production services.

Our high-end graphics add a touch of professionalism to your project while 3-D animations can bring static renderings to life. We create videos that are ready to be distributed on various platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, website, and Facebook. If you’d prefer a DVD, we can author one for you upon request.

In addition, his vast production experience enables him to find solutions and determine marketing angles with ease.
