About Us

Big Teeth Productions creates great videos. That’s who we are. But in case you need to know a little more:

We are small in numbers but big in ideas.

Science has proven that there is no direct correlation between the number of cubicles in an office, and the quality of the work being done.* We’d rather concentrate on the details of the project then how to keep up a fancy office full of people that don’t need to be there.
*NOTE: Actual science was not used in this study

We strive to get it done right, whatever "it" may be.

We’ll start with whatever you’ve got and turn it into whatever you need. We’re like a video version of the Fairy Godmother turning pumpkins into coaches.

We build great relationships with all of our clients.

Nobody likes jerks. Whether you’re the Director of Marketing, or the Chief Taxidermist it’s important that you have a good rapport with the people you work with. Big Teeth Productions is 100% Jerk Free.

We are up on the latest trends and technology.

That World Wide Web is here to stay, and if you want your brand to be relevant then you need to know how to use it. Trust us, there’s more to online video than posting yourself lip synching Billy Ocean songs on YouTube.

We are a Chicago video production company.

We are proud to live in and service the great city of Chicago and call some of its most progressive companies our clients, but we also believe in the "have camera will travel" model.

Gregg Jaffe
Creative Director aka Grand Poobah

Gregg did some time in the big agency world as an account guy at Ogilvy & Mather, Chicago. Besides learning how to traverse the tricky balance between the creative department and the client, he also realized that he preferred wearing jeans to khakis. On any given day Gregg is a writer, director, editor, and cameraman, and most recently a cupcake model. Gregg would like to turn the world on with his smile, but if that won’t work, then he’d like to continue challenging himself and his clients to find fresh approaches to the world of video.

A Producer at JWT, Grey New York and DraftFCB, as well as VSA Partners and Vitamin Pictures, her client roster is made up of corporations big and small.
