SOLIDLINE DEBUTS 18 VIDEOS IN 7 DAYS AT AOA'S OMED IN SAN DIEGO
It was a busy seven days for the SLM crew the first week of October as eight staff moved to San Diego for AOA's OMED annual convention and exposition. During the week-long production trip, SolidLine crew members produced nine videos onsite, and debuted nine other videos that were produced at SLM headquarters in Chicago over the previous eight weeks. In addition, the crew captured over 30 formal member testimonials in the onsite formal interview room throughout the week. It was a massive undertaking but was executed flawlessly by the expert SolidLine crew.
"We pulled some all-nighters, that's for sure," states SolidLine Art Director Mike Petrik. "But in the end the final products turned out great and we're all proud of the efforts and long hours put in by the entire SLM crew."

SLM DONATES PRODUCTION SERVICES TO AN ILLINOIS CENTER FOR INDEPENDENT LIVING
For the 5th year in a row SolidLine has partnered with Northern Illinois based RAMP to provide pro bono production services for their Changing Attitudes Breaking Barriers annual fundraising luncheon in Rockford, IL. RAMP is a Center for Independent Living and provides services and advocacy for people with disabilities throughout the Northern Illinois area. The SolidLine-produced video, which featured interviews with numerous RAMP staff who have disabilities, debuted during the luncheon. The luncheon event brought in over $30,000 to help continue to provide essential services to RAMP's consumers in Illinois.
"Many thanks to SolidLine Media for their willingness to create fantastic videos for RAMP's Annual Luncheon," states RAMP's Deb Rogers-Bieschke. "We continue to utilize the videos long after the luncheon is over, posting them to our website as well as giving them to potential donors. They are a timeless testament to the important and critical work that we do."

HAPPY SOLIDLINE CLIENTS
"It was the first time we worked together and I was a little nervous going into the project, only because I'd never worked with SolidLine before. Plus, the messaging and tone of the video set the tone for the entire conference, so it had to be spot on. I'm happy to say that not only did SolidLine meet my expectations, they exceeded them -- and as my colleagues will tell you, I'm not that easy to please. The SLM team nailed it -- from the countdown; to the opening; to the actor's interviews and segues; to the closing of the video; the music; the timing; the cool graphics -- an EXCELLENT job done, and done on time, by all.Thank you SolidLine Media! I'm looking forward to working on our 2013 video with the SLM team!"
