SOLIDLINE TO PRODUCE EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS FOR ISMIE 

 

SolidLine Media is currently working with ISMIE to produce a series of 15 educational video vignettes for the new ISMIE Mutual Fellowship program.  This program provides a comprehensive foundation in medical risk management. Successful completion of the program requires physicians to take four Fellowship Foundation courses: Documentation, Communication, Systems, and Medicolegal Review. These courses may be taken entirely online, or through a combination of online coursework and live seminars. As part of the curriculum, physicians will watch SolidLine produced examples of best practices, and successfully execute case based simulation exercises. 

 

Shooting for ISMIE
The SLM crew films for ISMIE on a soundstage in Chicago.

"There's something infectious about working with a group of
people who not only love what they do, but get what you do. SolidLine managed to make filming 15 spots in 5 days not only possible, but effective," states ISMIE Director of Risk Management, Technology & Projects Ingrid Hubbard. "Our Rough-Cuts look phenomenal, and the SLM team has been a joy to work with. I couldn't be happier with our decision to use them for this project."
 

 

SLM HELPS TO RAISE $30K FOR BEARS CARE   

Fitness 5KFor the 9th year running, SolidLine sponsored the Midtown 5K Run & Walk in Palatine, IL. The event attracted a crowd of over 700 participants and raised a record $30,000 for Bears Care. Over the last 9 years the event has
 raised over $180,000 for Bears Care, the charitable beneficiary of the Chicago Bears.

"We can't thank the team at SolidLine enough for sponsoring this important event for so many years," states Midtown Director of Marketing Robyn Kove. "Their support means a great deal to the success of the event, and to the Bears Care charity."
THE CREW LOOKS BACK AT 165 DAYS ON THE ROAD 
 
It's been another whirlwind year here at SolidLine Media. The crew traveled for a record 165 days of production this year spanning 35 states across the US. The SolidLine production bus added another 32,000 miles and Southwest Airlines flew the crew to shoots on over 100 flights.
 
"It is amazing the logistics that go into the average SolidLine production," exclaims SLM Producer Kevin Wright. "Coordinating the travel schedule alone seems like a full time job!"
 
To date the SLM crew has produced videos in 45 states.

HAPPY SOLIDLINE CLIENTS

"I have been working with marketing partners for over 25 years and the partnership quality I value most (but find rarely) is that of 'Translator.' The very best have the ability to fully comprehend my business objectives, understand and challenge my creative direction, add that unique touch that you just didn't think of yourself, and then translate that knowledge into a marketing piece that delivers the message to my audience with power and precision. I assure you, the SolidLine crew members are outstanding Translators. (Not to mention fun to work with, responsive, and able to meet 'crazy-client' deadlines with grace and good cheer)."

MEET THE CREW

 

Ed Boe

2 Qs with SolidLine Director of Photography Ed Boe

 

How do you like shooting with SolidLine's new Soy F3?

I love the new Soy F3! It's much healthier than the meat alternatives, and it really absorbs the flavors of what ever else you cook it with. 

 

What do you most look forward to in 2012?

In 2012, I am lucky enough to be getting married to the coolest girl around!  So I guess the main goal is to keep distracting Ashley with fun and adventures so that she doesn't figure out too quickly that I've tricked her into marrying me.  For real though, getting married to her is what I am most excited about for 2012.
