Chris Rasmussen is the owner of Take Flight Media, a company that creates handcrafted videos that effectively communicate the stories of its clients. Chris discovered a passion and talent for creating video that inspires and resonates with people. Each video is an original and reflects the individual qualities of each client. Each organization has a story to tell and a need to connect with their audience. Well-produced video can make an impact on the viewer in a way that few other forms of communication can match.
Chris brings a unique blend of talents to each client that he works with. His genuine interest in others gives him insights that help him to tell their story effectively. As long as he can remember, Chris has been interested in people and their stories. He is good at listening to what clients want to accomplish. He can visualize the flow of a story and come up with multiple ways of how to put it together. He also brings a photographer's eye for composition and detail to each project.
Chris is currently working on a special video project involving two Band of Brothers WWII combat veterans. He was honored to film an interview with them recently. He has a deep appreciation for the military and for WWII veterans in particular. As their numbers dwindle, so does the opportunity to learn from their life experiences and to be inspired by their character, selfless sacrifice and strength.
By joining the Chilibean team, Chris is able to work with high caliber people to help create great projects. He recognizes that teamwork is essential. He also recognizes Dave Ferris's strength as a successful business owner of Pine to Prairie Landscapes for twenty years, combined with his vision for filmmaking are assets to their clients.
When not working on video projects, Chris enjoys spending time with his family and playing with his four children. He grew up in Southern California but now calls Minnesota home. Every summer he takes his family to the air show to watch WWII airplanes and to meet the men who flew them. He recently met a 90-year old man who turned out to be a retired airline pilot who thwarted a hijacking in 1977 and brought 282 passengers aboard his 747 safely back to Tokyo, Japan. Stories like that really inspire him.
