SolidLine to Produce ASUG Keynote Video

We're excited to announce that our pals at ASUG are back with a new project, and we are excited about this one! This year, SAP SAPPHIRE and ASUG Annual Conference will be held in Orlando where 20,000 professionals from around the world will gather to network, attend educational sessions, and listen to great keynotes. And that's where we come in! SLM will be producing a high-end, documentary style video to kick off the ASUG keynote. But this is no ordinary video. Three 60 foot wide screens will be split into up to nine sections with multiple feeds of video telling the ASUG story across the 180 foot video wall. It will be a spectacular mix of video, graphics, and music. The video will focus on encouraging non-active members to get more involved and others to sign up and reap the benefits of joining ASUG. We'll also be there to produce ASUG News, an on-site, live news broadcast from the show floor that will highlight important topics and conference experiences. Twenty ASUG News episodes will be broadcasted live daily and available immediately on demand.

"You don't even know the top of your game until you work with SolidLine on one of these types of projects," states Courtney Bjorlin of ASUG. "We're excited to start work on what we know will be another awesome testimonial to the power of our community."

From early call times to multiple video shoots for different clients, Avery's keeping up and learning fast. We caught up with Avery to ask him some questions about who he is and what he's doing here... take a look at his official Q&A blog by clicking the graphic below!
