Hard Work in the Big Easy

The 2009 Honors event in New Orleans.

SolidLine Media trekked to New Orleans October 31 thru November 3rd for the American Osteopathic Foundation 2009 Honors celebration, where 13 SolidLine videos introduced each of the evening’s honorees.

The videos added entertainment value to the event, but also personalized the awards by featuring a narrative film of each of the recipients’ accomplishments. The annual event, which honored those working towards expanding osteopathic medicine, awarded tens of thousands of dollars in grants and scholarships to osteopathic physicians, researchers, and students. “As always, SolidLine did a great job,” states Steve Downey, Executive Director of the American Osteopathic Foundation. “Sometimes I forget they're an outside company because the relationship is so strong. It's as if SolidLine is an extension of our staff.”

The ceremony was held in conjunction with the American Osteopathic Association’s annual conference. SolidLine not only produced the videos and ran the ‘live’ show for the AOF Honors event, but they also produced a 'live' multi-camera OMED Town Hall meeting at the AOA conference and filmed interviews for the Association’s “Mentor of the Year” award.
