Extreme Makeover - Church Edition

We are providing equipment and video production services to help with a missions project to the Mount Horeb Church in Juarez, Mexico. A construction team from Trinity Church is working on repairing and furnishing a kitchen and pastor’s study, as well as repairing the roofing, extensive painting, electrical repairs, and many other needed updates and repairs to the facility.

Stay tuned for updates as we post video clips from the trip, get to know the team members and the church in Mexico, and see God work through this project.

Here are some photos as well.

Herbicide Training/Sales Photo Shoot

I just got back from a photo shoot for a new herbicide product, Ignite. Here are a couple of photos. These are being used for a new training/sales video, produced by Paul Kaplan of www.pkapproductions.com.Sprayer Application

ATS Commercial Group Animation

Just thought I’d post a little ‘blast from the past’. Mark from ATS Commercial Group (atsacoustics.com, atsrentals.com) was over one night and we decided to play around with transparency settings and vector motion. This is the fun (but maybe not the most professional…) result:

Melissa and Dan Wedding 2008

This highlight edit was also shot by Ben Lynn and edited by Phil Gioja. It’s another good example of our one-camera video package.

Megan and James Wedding 2008

This is a fun highlight reel from a wedding in May 2008. The lighting in the sanctuary was beautiful, and the event was relaxed and enjoyable. This wedding was shot by our second videographer Ben Lynn.

Automation International

We were recently contacted to provide some resistance welding b-roll from Automation International in Danville, IL. It was fun to learn about how the process works, and here’s the resulting footage.

Watseka Flood 2008

This is probably one of the toughest projects I’ve ever had to edit. It’s just a few interviews and photos of people affected by the recent flooding in Watseka, IL. Produced by Connie Hustedt of Trinity Church, shot and edited by Phil Gioja.

The PASS Program

This year (2008) we had the privilege to work for the PASS Program in Champaign, IL. Center Street Productions shot over 120 hours of medical lecture footage during the month of April, produced a 44 DVD set of the lectures, and also shot and edited a promo DVD for the PASS Program to use in their advertising efforts. This is one of the items on the promo DVD.

Danfoss Drives

We took the plunge into HD production in December of 2007, working for Danfoss Drives located in Loves Park, IL. We shot on their factory floor in Loves Park, as well as customer installations in Florida and the Rockford Wastewater Plant.

The new video is not released yet, and we are not authorized to release any raw footage, but here is the original sales video that this new high power video is following up. Editing for both is done by Sorensen Photography in Denmark.

Disclaimer: We did not contribute to this video. Once the High Power video is released it will be posted here.

Matt and Kate Wedding 2008

This year we’ve shot more weddings than ever before. We are moving towards a documentary style, and this one is a good example of that style. The couple was fun, which made it a very enjoyable day to shoot as well as edit.
