What we do

AMP offers a full range of video and related media production services. We break our services down into four skill sets: Commercial Production, Episodic Television Production, Corporate Media Production and Camera & Crew Provisioning for broadcasters and other production professionals.

Who we are

AMP founders and principals, Amy Lou and Sandy Abernethy have over 35 years combined experience writing, producing, shooting, editing, and delivering broadcast television and corporate media projects. They’ve surrounded themselves with a terrific staff and a host of seasoned freelancers. Together they’re the best bunch of production personnel in the Southwest.

The culture at AMP is one of relaxed professionalism. We’re focused on delivering creativity and quality on time and under budget, while still maintaining a fun, low-stress work environment. We believe that if you know what you’re doing and have prepared well, shooting and editing can be a fun, productive process.

Flexibility and responsiveness are our hallmarks. And we understand budgets and timelines. We collaborate with our clients to achieve the highest production value, the most creativity, and the most effective communication with every dollar spent.

AMP’s Founders:
Amy Lou Abernethy Co-Owner & President	When not throwing mind-blowing office parties, Amy Louheads both the television production and corporate communications divisions of AMP. A storyteller at heart, she started in the biz as a scriptwriter and still considers herself first and foremost a communicator – with scriptwriting, editing, or the occasional game of office charades, she gets her message through. With more than 10 years writing and producing, she’s been there done that…and yet still manages to bring something fresh to each new project. Just ask her about the organic goat farm shoot!Besides milking goats, Amy Lou has executive produced several shows on the Veria Network, including Simply Beautiful, What’s Brewing and the gameshow Whatta Ya Think?! Educational credits include award-winning videos for LeCroy and Voyager. On the corporate front, she has spearheaded award-winning videos for FedEx Kinko’s, Brinker International, and Regus. But of all her endeavors, she’s proudest of the team she and Sandy have assembled at AMP and the environment they’ve created where every project is an opportunity for creativity and collaboration.

Sandy Abernethy is an award-winning director and director of photography. With over 20 years experience in the film and video industry, he’s knowledgeable in all areas of production, making him a valuable asset on any project.In addition to shooting and editing, Sandy also oversees day-to-day operations at AMP, drawing on his business school background to manage, train and motivate the dedicated staff at AMP. He’s also sometimes allowed into creative sessions, in spite of his unfortunate tendency to take the term “spitballing” literally. Luckily, as of this writing, no eyes have yet been put out. “Sure, productivity and professionalism are great, but fun productivity and professionalism are even better.”	Sandy Abernethy Co-Owner, Vice President
