WATCH: We Put It On Video - SolidLine's New Hit!
It's that time of year again folks! The SolidLine New Year card has officially been released and is causing quite the commotion around the world. Inspired by the classic beats of the 1980's, SLM crew came together to perform a custom-written song about who they are and what they do. You'll see big hair, leg warmers, leather and chains... and may even get the catchy tune stuck in your head!
"To have as much fun as possible while filming this video is what we're all about here at SolidLine. That's our philosophy," states Executive Producer Greg Vass. "Plus a little known fact is that the mustaches in the video are all real. Creepy for sure." So, without further ado... Check out our rockin' music video and a behind the scenes look at the making of "We Put It On Video!"

Calling All Interns!
Over the past several years, SolidLine's internship program has become quite popular with students across the country. The three & a half month full-time program is a rigorous exposure into the production business and comes with great responsibility. SLM interns are on the front lines of production and not just sitting around making coffee for the rest of the crew. They travel the world for on-location shoots, assist with editing, and learn what it takes to produce a video from start to finish while running a successful business in the Chicago loop.
"Interns here have the opportunity to work in several areas," states former Intern Chris Tracz. "I got to see a pitch grow into a final cut. Being part of the entire production process has allowed me to better visualize my own work, making me a stronger storyteller."
