Video

adding time to the audio/visual experience

Video can suggest and touch all of our senses. The dimension of time adds rhythm to our audio and visual experiences and can reach many more levels of our memory. With it we can communicate our ideas much more quickly and surely than we can by using only words.

A 50 second video illustrates two fonts: one is the first sketch for an all liquid upper font (glass & water) done in 3D Max; the second is the completed font at St. Thomas Becket, Mt. Prospect, and shows how we enveloped the original limestone font with the living waters of Baptism.	Two Fonts (60 sec. DSL download)
We've been serving our clients with video and interactive video since 1979. In those early days, the video was magic. Visit our Video Time Machine (patent pending). The chapel illustrates a part of the magic of a sister "flying" to and through the proposed (and built) chapel at the Holy Spirit Motherhouse. The cross links shows a similar flyby of the Cross created at St. Bernard's church.	Chapel & Cross
We visited the sisters at Mt. Assisi recently and video taped some quiet moments in their chapel. The sequenced stills and music express the daily dialogue among works of art.	Sharing Talents
Video can communicate excitement. The Gospel Procession and Baptism at St. Nicholas demonstrate this quality in less than 90 seconds each.	Gospel & Baptism
We captured the communty's pride at the dedication of their Perpetual Adoration Chapel.	Adoration

We have created and produced over 30 videos for a variety of clients including institutions, church communities, ecological associations, Fortune 500 companies and collectives of artists. Domestic and international audience. Other video works include:

• Robert Harmon Stained Glass Studios – showcases the 50-year career of one of America’s leading stained glass artist. This video has resulted in numerous commissions of new work for the artist.
• Chiesa Nuova – blends Chiesa Nuova musical and theater performances with animated visions of the future projected onto digital sets. This video was a successful fund-raiser to help the people of Assisi who suffered a recent earthquake.
• Doug Hendrickson’s Blacksmith Studio – documents the fiery process of forging iron as a molten medium of expression.
• Sharing Becket 2000 – previews church renovations and construction using traditional 3D animation software.
• Exploring Structure – helps client understand a sophisticated structural solution using cutting edge animation to examine the structure.
• Lunch – exposes fishing enthusiasts to life as a trout.
• Kraft Foods LIFE Living Injury Free Everywhere encourages enthusiasm and participation in Kraft's safety program using the words, actions, and images of the workers on the plant floor.

We have made an effort to acquire the skills and tools required to communicate our ideas developed in our collaborative process to a wide variety of audiences.
