Every company is different, every project new.
Thinking
Whether that is as a director of photography on a busy film set, alone on a mountain top shooting a sunrise, or in your board room helping your team come up with the next winning concept, the Rockhouse team strives to find a way to move the needle in beautiful, creative, and successful ways. While this may all be well and good, you are probably hoping for some more details as far as what it is we can do.
skills
Essentially, we do it all. We can take a business problem, and create a multimedia solution. Start to finish, top to bottom. From idea, to story, to camera, to edit, to graphics, to music, to color, and finally to your clients’ eyeballs.

Crew
Some might just say we’re a bunch of crazies running around with expensive cameras.
MATT
WHITE
FOUNDER
As a former fireman and paramedic, Matt is no stranger to moments when life hangs in the balance. As the founder of Rockhouse Motion, Matt strives to create those intense and unforgettable emotions for anyone who comes across our work, without anyone getting hurt. The Rockhouse studio sits on Matt’s family farm in Central Kansas that was first settled over a century ago by his ancestors, which he shares with his wife Tracy, and his three children: Kimber, Jake, and Allie.
Aaron hitchins
DIRECTOR / PARTNER / BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Aaron is our token foreign guy, hailing from the distant and mysterious land that most people call Canada. Whether it was the long, cold, isolated winters in the North, or just a byproduct of his Business School Education, Aaron has a rather overactive imagination. While in most avenues of life that would serve as a distraction, Aaron’s bountiful creativity meshes with his corporate vision to create the fire in which brands are forged at Rockhouse.
DUSTIN
LUTT
PARTNER
With a keen eye for the under appreciated beauty of the world, Dustin found a natural fit studying contemporary media at the University of South Dakota. At home behind the lens, his passion for imagery is unwavering as he yearns to articulate the under appreciated details of the world through his work. Dustin joined the team from his home in Wayne, Nebraska, and is a loving father to his son, Kade. Dustin also has very large biceps.
COLIN MACMILLAN
SHOOTER / EDITOR
No story that’s worth spreading is complete without a little sprinkle of magic and that’s what Colin brings to the team. His photographic career started at age 16 in his basement with a pirated copy of Photoshop 3.0, a film scanner, and a dream of one day being a real photographer. Now, almost 20 years in, Colin enjoys responsibilities like pre-sunrise alarm clocks, raising Liam & Piper, making stories dance off of a screen, and paying the monthly subscription for Adobe software.
WILLIAM POULIN
ANIMATION / GRAPHICS
Despite missing out on his Hogwarts invitation as a child in Canada’s French epicenter, Quebec City, William Poulin is as close as it comes to being a wizard. Growing up with a boundless imagination, he channeled his magical skills into the world of design, 3D, and motion graphics, where he excelled to the point that he was actually hired as a teacher as soon as he graduated from his schooling. Already a master of his craft, William decided that wasn’t enough, and moved to Nova Scotia to take on two new challenges: the English language, and the Atlantic Ocean. As an overly avid surfer, he can found during Canada’s wintry blizzards taking shelter in icy barrels when he isn’t surfing his keyboard into the stratosphere. Rockhouse’s frenchman charges hard, brings better than the best, and reminds us daily that truly anything is possible.
LOGAN
ROSS
production biologist
Logan has 99 problems, and they’re all styrofoam. At Rockhouse, we make our living in the outdoors, and as our production biologist, she ensures that all of the beautiful places we go shoot are left better than we found it. A sworn enemy of the plastic water bottle and fierce defender of miscellaneous flora that nobody has ever heard of, she takes pride in keeping our footprint small on set so we can make sure it is big on screen.
