About work
War on Alzheimer's wasn't your average event — and it needed coverage that could keep up.
Hosted on March 21, 2026 at 5th Company Brewing in Perryville, Maryland, Armored AF brought together fighters, families, and community members for a full-contact armored combat fundraiser benefiting Alzheimer's and other debilitating neurological diseases through the Elizabeth K. Andrews Charity Fund.
Studio Nine covered the full event — from the energy of the crowd filing in at doors-open to the intensity of live combat on the floor. The night featured debut fights, including Stephanie Melucci, Founder and CEO of the Elizabeth K. Andrews Charity Fund, stepping into the ring for her first-ever armored combat bout. The combination of raw athletic competition and genuine community purpose made for a story that practically told itself.
Every shot was captured with the same cinematic intentionality Studio Nine brings to any project — because moments like these deserve more than shaky phone footage from the back of the room.
Video Production
Professional video production
Armored combat doesn't follow a script — and neither does the coverage. Studio Nine moved through the space solo, staying ahead of the action and finding the moments that made the night worth remembering.
Services offered:
Solo Cinema-Quality Production: Shot on the Sony FX30 with a DJI RS5 gimbal, every moment of the fight floor, the crowd, and the ceremony was captured with smooth, intentional movement — no shaky handheld, no missed moments.
Professional Audio: Crowd energy, fighter introductions, and event commentary captured cleanly with professional audio equipment so the atmosphere of the night came through in the final cut.
Adaptive Coverage: Live events are unpredictable. Studio Nine covered the full arc of the evening — arrivals, combat rounds, crowd reactions, and the award moments — staying ready for whatever happened next.
Distribution-Ready Footage: Every shot was captured with social media and long-form distribution in mind, giving Armored AF content that could live on YouTube, Instagram, and beyond long after the event ended.

Video Delivery
Video finalization
The final step is getting your film into the world — and we make that process seamless. At Studio Nine Company, delivery isn't an afterthought. It's the moment your story reaches the audience it was made for, and we take that seriously.
Here's what our delivery process looks like:
Platform-Optimized Exports: Your film is exported and formatted specifically for how you'll use it — whether that's Instagram, Facebook, your website, a live event screen, or a client presentation. No guessing, no reformatting on your end.
Organized File Delivery: You receive your files clearly labeled and ready to use. We don't send a raw folder and leave you to figure it out.
Revision Rounds: We include structured revision rounds in every project so there's space to refine before final delivery. You'll never feel rushed toward a finish line you're not happy with.
Long-Term File Access: We retain your project files so that if you ever need a re-export, a format change, or an updated version down the road, we've got you covered.
At Studio Nine Company, the relationship doesn't end at delivery. We're invested in your story long after the film is finished — and we're always here when you're ready for the next one.
