Metro Productions
METRO PRODUCTIONSQUICK FACTS & CAPABILITIES |
|
What do you get when you combine equal parts creativity, experience, timeliness, and intelligence? Well, if you’re looking for these in video and multimedia production, you’ll get Metro Productions.
With decades of experience and a dedicated staff of over 35 full time employees including writers, producers, HD videographers, editors, graphic artists, and more, Metro is a well-oiled machine of a video company. The company was started in Williamsburg, Virginia over 30 years ago, and since then has grown to three locations in Virginia: Richmond, Hampton, and Alexandria. Our technology has also grown: in the last year, Metro began working heavily with stereoscopic 3D production, and we recently completed 3D videos for both the U.S. Army TRADOC and Northrop Grumman. But although we are continually expanding and diversifying Metro’s visual media offering, we remain a small business, dedicated to exceeding the expectations of our clients. Among those clients, you’ll find the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, USCG, and many other DoD and military customers.
Metro has a long history of serving the U.S. military, especially the Army, in varied ways. As a video and multimedia company, we’ve been creating videos, graphics, and other forms of visual media for branches of the military for the past 20 years. Currently, we’re working on several projects for the Army Exhibit at the Association of the United States Army’s Annual Meeting, a task Metro has undertaken and completed successfully many times before. This is one of the projects that remains closest to our heart, as our CEO and President, Raymond W. Walsh, is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. Ray isn’t Metro’s only veteran, though: we have others that have served as well, both in the Army and the U.S. Air Force. With so much history and experience with the U.S. military, it’s no surprise that Metro chooses to focus its efforts on defense-related projects.

While many of our military and defense videos focus on training, OPSEC, and marketing, Metro also has a soft spot for our veterans. We’ve completed videos for VA hospitals in South Carolina and Washington, D.C., encouraging veterans to receive the care they deserve. We also work with programs that provide aid to veterans in need, such as the UCLA-based Operation Mend, which serves wounded warriors. These projects remind us of the debt owed to those who serve.
Metro Productions’ greatest assets are our clients, employees and technology. We employ the best talent full time, ensuring optimal workflow and creativity in our projects. Like our military clients, we choose to remain at the forefront of our technology, and are always looking towards the future.
Metro is proud to be a partner of the U.S. military and the CGSC Foundation. According to CEO Ray Walsh, “Metro is committed to supporting the CGSC Foundation’s mission to the Command and General Staff College. Its efforts in the area of interoperability, leader development and research activities will enhance the students’ experience and make them more effective on the battlefields of the 21st century.
