Upstop Media

Upstop Media is a production company focused on helping businesses in the amusement industry create engaging visual content and social media presence. Its services include theme park photography, videography, on-ride video, ride and attraction photography, and social media management. With more than 20 years of combined experience, the team works with clients to bring creative ideas to life and showcase parks and attractions effectively.

The company was founded in 2014 by Scott Schaffer, a lifelong roller coaster enthusiast with a passion for video production and photography. Jack Lathrop, founder of Thrilling Moments Photography, joined the Upstop Media team in 2022 after developing his interest in photography at a theme park. Together, Scott and Jack create ride and attraction content for parks around the world.

Although theme parks are Upstop Media’s specialty, the company also produces photo and video content beyond the amusement sector. Its experience includes work involving people, cars, clothing, and events, and the team invites prospective clients to discuss projects and creative concepts.
