EZ just whipped up this super duper slick video featuring downtown Wichita! You can't deny it our downtown is pretty cool! This was built with mostly HD footage from our existing library. A handful of shots were uprez'd. As always Eric created this masterpiece in final cut on his macbook pro. We always appreciate feedback so let us know what you think!

Knight Foundation Video Wins Telly Award

Knight Foundation Video Wins National Telly Award

A video highlighting early education initiatives in Wichita funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation has been awarded a national Telly Award. The video won bronze in the Charitable/Not-For-Profit category.

The video was produced by Knight Foundation program director Anne Corriston, communication and consulting firm Bothner and Bradley Inc., and digitalBRAND Communications.

The video features two early education programs at work in Wichita: TOP Learning Centers and Wichita CARES, a partnership that included USD 259 early education and Parents as Teachers programs, Sedgwick County Healthy Babies, and the Center for Health and Wellness.

digitalBRAND Communications (dBC), a Wichita-based video production company, spent last May filming the transformational process created by the two programs.

"This award really reflects the quality of the grant programs that were highlighted,” said Anne Corriston. “We have been very fortunate to work with wonderful partners at TOP and Wichita CARES, as well as our production team, and it’s a pleasure to share this award with them.”

In its 29th year, the Telly Awards were founded in 1980 to recognize outstanding non-network and cable TV commercials and winners include the nation's top agencies and production houses from a field of more than 10,000 entrants in 2007.

For many years now, Envision has commissioned bronze sculptures of zoo animals along with large print descriptions and also in braille. We shot some high def plus some standard and plenty of stills.

Hi and welcome to dBC's first time. The first post involved some smooth sweet talking of the blogging settings followed by a few desperation moves to get this blog out of its sparkling white dress. Big dividends.

Here's a video.
