Early last month Motion Source sent a video crew out to capture event footage of the Timex ONE Relay Chicago Launch Party.  We only filmed the event but you can see the final result here...

Why?

Bottom line, a well-produced training video will save your organization money, help protect your firm against legal complications, and create a more effective way of training employees.

How?

By having a series of training videos created you can cut down the high costs....

Myth #1: I need to write a script for my video.

Fact: In some cases a script is actually the opposite of what we recommend to our clients. An “off the cuff” interview allows for a more genuine response and in the end a more genuine video. We recommend that our client brings an outline of what topics they want the video to be about and our team will capture stories that can cover their messages.

Myth #2: I need...

At Motion Source we have a wide variety of clients, including several in the medical industry. In the past we have worked with dentists, medical software companies, medical device manufactures and medical research organizations.  

We created a series of videos for local Chicago dental office Always There Dental Care; including a company profile video and customer testimonial videos. The company profile video featured both dentists at the office and...

What's the life expectancy and cost of a marketing video?   Well, it depends on a few factors.

First let's assume the video was created professionally because otherwise, like anything else, the lifespan will be much less. A professionally made video is made using full HD cameras, recording media, stabilization gear, professional lighting equipment, and camera enhancement equipment... 

We couldn't have been prouder to be  honored with the "Collaboration of the Year Award" for our work with Rotary International on a Non-profit video. Thanks to Ken Grunke and Cynthia Frymark for initiating the project which was aimed at gaining awareness, assisting people in need and building a better community. It told the stories of over 10 different community nonprofits within the main video and then broke out a focused video for each organization. It was truly an amazing experience to meet the people involved behind the scenes of each nonprofit and the people they serve. This will rank up there with the best of the best work of Motion Source on many levels.

We're excited to announce that our film production company "i dig the film productions, LLC" is premiering our short film iDig for a private screening at the La Grange Theater before it hits the film festivals. It's a one night event and if you're interested in getting on the guest list please send us an email, we'd love to include you. iDig was a wonderful side project as most of the time Motion Source is working on Video Productions in Chicago for clients, however, this film was all about one thing: FUN! And fun we had, working with local businesses, friends, Chicago actors and indie filmmakers to make this project happen. 

First off we want to thank all 61 backers who backed our project on Kickstarter! We also want to send a big thank you to everyone who helped promote the campaign via social media, print media, blogs, and other avenues. The final total put us at 376% of our funding goal and we are very excited for such a great response. We have received orders from all over the world; from Brazil to Austria to Italy and beyond. Not to mention the large number of orders for rigs to be shipped all throughout the US. The numbers prove that there are a group of filmmakers who are looking for this type of equipment, with the intent of affordability in mind. And the written feedback we have received proves that they want more!  

At Motion Source, our staff is passionate about the work we do. Aside from doing video production at work, many of our team members are independent filmmakers as well. Quite often members of our staff will borrow expensive pieces of equipment from our inventory to use on their personal projects. We love providing our team members with the tools they need for their own projects but we have been looking for a way to expand this “Sharing of Love.” That idea was the beginning of a long project that has culminated into our first film gear product: The Motion Source Shoulder Rig.
