Bringing Jones Creek Wildfire - Loess Hills’s Story to Life
Partner Spotlight
Overview
The Jones Creek Wildfire project in Iowa’s Loess Hills highlighted the power of collaboration and resilience in the aftermath of a natural disaster. Creative Olsen partnered with CTC Disaster Response and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to document the restoration and cleanup efforts following a devastating wildfire. Our team provided full-service video production, drone videography, and photography to authentically capture the technical precision and human dedication behind the recovery.
Creative Direction
Balancing the perspectives of both a state agency and a private contractor required thoughtful planning and storytelling. Our creative approach combined cinematic drone footage with on-the-ground interviews to portray the scale of the cleanup alongside the people driving it. Through professional, unbiased visuals, we honored the expertise, teamwork, and shared mission that powered the recovery — all while highlighting the natural beauty and resilience of the Loess Hills region.
Results
The final collection of videos and photography became powerful storytelling tools for both organizations, enhancing marketing, recruitment, and public outreach efforts. The content not only documented the cleanup but also humanized it — inspiring trust, transparency, and respect for those working to restore Iowa’s natural landscapes. The project underscores Creative Olsen’s strength in environmental storytelling and documentary video production that deliver both visual impact and authentic connection.
