About Media Core:
Your Strategic Video Production Partner

A Rochester, MN Video Production Company
Built For Premium Brands

Media Core is a Rochester, MN video production company built for premium brands that need video to work for their business. We serve Southern Minnesota and nationwide clients as a strategic video production partner, helping organizations sell, hire, and build trust through clear, honest storytelling on screen.​​

As brand story architects, Media Core’s in-house team of videography experts transforms genuine business values into compelling visual narratives. Instead of a one-off production team, you get a dedicated partner that understands your industry, your goals, and how to turn video into a business tool.​​

Built to Adapt Across Industries and Video Strategies

A Flexible Approach Grounded in Process

Media Core is built to adapt to different industries, locations, and business models while keeping your video strategy focused on a clear process. Whether you are in construction, healthcare, manufacturing, or professional services, the process begins with listening and understanding the sales, hiring, or trust challenges you face before any cameras come out.

From there, the team tailors storytelling, visual styles, and deployment plans to your specific audiences and use cases. The goal is always the same: authentic, strategic video that reflects how you truly work and naturally fits into how your organization already communicates.

Our Buffalo Culture and In-House Video Production Team

The Values That Shape Our Work

Media Core’s “Buffalo culture” is about charging toward the storm instead of running from it by tackling hard challenges head-on with clients rather than sidestepping hard questions. That mindset shows up in how the team leads discovery, gives honest creative feedback, and stays engaged through deployment.

Our video production team is fully in-house, so collaboration is fast, communication is clear, and accountability is shared. We care as much about your videos as you do.​

Meet The Team

The In-House Video Production Team Behind the Work

Each person you meet at Media Core is part of a tight-knit, in-house team that plans, films, and edits your videos. You’re partnering with a focused Rochester, MN video production team that knows your story and stays with you project after project.

Josh Langmade

CEO & Founder

I started Media Core because there was a gap in the marketplace. Not only for great video and to tell people stories, but I saw too many people out there not taking care of their clients. I love the relationships that we have built and the quality care we provide to people. We work hard, and we play hard. If im not at the office (which I am way too much), you will find me on the boat enjoying the summer sun!

Jacob Langmade

Partner & Production Manager

My favorite part of what we get to do is hearing what clients think of the final videos…whether excitement, love, or tears (happy ones of course!) My overall goal is making sure clients have an amazing experience throughout the entire Media Core process. During the summers you’ll find me somewhere on the Mississippi River surfing or hanging out on a sand dune.

Jimmy Warren

Account Executive

At Media Core I get to reach out to people who have never thought they needed a video for their company to set up a time to meet with them so they can experience the Media Core Difference and become a client. I love just getting to spend time talking with folks and learning about their company and story. A fun fact about me is I love pro sports and I have never ordered a package off Amazon.

Damian Fiedler

Producer, Director

I’m a Project Lead at Media Core with many years of experience in the video industry. I aim to create an unforgettable experience for clients and am obsessed with our craft. Outside of work, you’ll likely find me at the gym, enjoying the outdoors, or serving my local church.

Adam Krakora

Cinematographer, Editor

As your videographer, it's my job to capture you and your business in the best light. Be it regarding visuals or articulating the unique why behind your brand, I'm proud to say here at Media Core we have become quite good at that. Apart from work, my life centers around soccer, traveling, and the love for history.

I love to learn about new industries, and I’m excited to get to work alongside some of the most talented video professionals in the field at Media Core. Most importantly, I currently hold the title (and bragging rights) as the winner of the annual Media Core Super Smash Bros Tournament.

Using EOS to Build an 8-Figure Video Company

Media Core March 2, 2026 11:07 pm

This week, we flew to Iowa to film a construction explainer for Minger Construction.

Their goal was simple: help customers clearly understand the four different drilling methods they offer. The challenge? Turning complex, technical work into something easy to follow on video.

In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of a real client shoot and show you:

• How we approach filming in active job sites
• How we think through simplifying technical services
• The gear setup we used in tough outdoor conditions
• What it actually looks like running a production company on location

Plus, a few moments from life back at the office.

If you’re a filmmaker, agency owner, or building a production company, this is an inside look at real client work, not just highlight reels.

Let us know what part of the process you want us to break down next.

How We Shot a Construction Explainer (Full BTS)

Media Core February 23, 2026 11:43 pm

We’re constantly trying to improve. Both as people and as a company, which means we want to be providing the highest level of quality through everything we do; that includes the vlog.

After 67 episodes of weekly vlogging, we’ve decided to take a big leap in evolving what it means for us to “vlog.” We want to be more intentional in what we’re sharing. That means adjusting the format to bring you more intentional, focused content — the kind that adds value for creatives, clients, and entrepreneurs.

Thank you for being part of the journey with us. We are excited to continue growing and adding more value as we build the dream video company together.

The Media Core Method: Our Discovery-Driven Approach

Transforming Insight Into Impact

Strategic Discovery
Media Core starts with strategic discovery sessions to uncover what truly makes your organization different. Through interviews and operational insights, the team identifies the stories, people, and proof points that will matter most to your audience.
Authentic Storytelling
From there, the team shapes brand story, sales, recruitment, safety, and testimonial videos that reflect your real values, culture, and capabilities. The goal is to create compelling narratives that feel honest and specific to your organization.
Measurable Impact
Each major project includes a Video ROI Playbook with implementation strategies that show where to use your videos across web, sales, recruiting, and internal channels. That way, you can see how video supports key metrics like better conversations, stronger applicants, and more confident buyers over time.​​
