SOLIDLINE TO PRODUCE PRODUCT PROMOS FOR QUMU

 

SolidLine will be producing a series of product promotional videos in 2012 for Qumu highlighting a variety of their business video product offerings. 

Qumu helps corporations create, manage, and securely distribute enterprise video and related content while providing rich analytics on content usage.
 
The first series of three videos will highlight Qumu's Webcasting, Mobile Video, and Employee Generated Content product verticals. The productions will mesh real world characters into a motion graphic world to tell a story that is informative, but with a strong visual appeal. 

 

"We are looking forward to seeing the unique video concepts that the SolidLine team is developing for Qumu," states Kelly Hoerner, Qumu's Technical Marketing Director. "It's a very important project to the group here, and we're glad SolidLine is on board to execute it with quality and creativity."

 

Qumu is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rimage Corporation.

MEET THE CREW

 

Tom Lewis

2 Qs with SolidLine Director of Random Construction Projects Tom Lewis

 

How was your experience installing the lighting grid in SLM's sound stage?

It was definitely a challenge. The building is 100+ years old, so some unique issues arose. We had a good plan for the grid though and the process went pretty smoothly. Our hard work paid off--the end product looks awesome and will be very beneficial to have!

 

Henry David Thoreau once said, "There is no remedy for love but to love more." Do you agree, Tom Lewis?

I agree completely. Everyone needs a hug sometimes!

ASK THE CREW

What is your recipe for love?

 

Mike Petrik, Art Director

1 part mood lighting, 3 parts smooth operating, a pinch of slow dancing, stir at medium pace, and serve smoking hot. With some beer too.

  

Ed Boe, Director of Photography / Editor

Step 1: Plant the idea of how awesome you are.
Step 2: Let that idea germinate for 5 years.
Step 3: When the time is right, ask her out to trade comic books for movies.
Step 4: Hang out non-stop for five days, then immediately start dating.
Step 5: After three months, propose to her.
 
Ashley Vest, Ed Boe's Makeup Artist/Fiance
Step 1: Become friends with a guy despite him obsessively telling you how awesome he is.
Step 2: Recommend an eye doctor to help with his constant eye twitch.
Step 3: Get sick of waiting for him to make the first move, make up some reason you have to meet up and hang out.
Step 4: Move in together and adopt as many cats as the law will allow.
Step 5: Tell him where, when, and how to propose but let him plan the fairy tale wedding of his dreams! Works every time!

One tall glass of milk, a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chubby Hubby, a rocking chair, bath robe, lots of candles, and a gentle man massaging my feet while my bath draws.
