Messages that Motivate. If you are a college student, that means you want to see realistic glimpses of life and community at college.... If you are a boomer trying to maximize quality of life for yourself and your parents, a walk-in tub may be attractive.

So Kindig Omnimedia built a shorter, faster admissions module for Cedarville University this year. And for Luxury Bath, the motivational message was delivered by Joe Theismann. In January he tossed a perfect spiral to promote their walkin tubs -- the SimpleBath line. Kindig Omnimedia wrote the spots, and directed the 35mm film shoot at Midwest Grip & Lighting in Cincinnati. Joe did a fantastic job -- he was on top of his game and gave us all a great insight into what it takes to be a winning quarterback. The message is simple: "Walk in. Feel better."

Recent Fun

Luxury Bath hired us to write, produce, and direct a series of TV and radio spots with Joe Theismann, their spokesman. (That's Joe's chalkboard sketch of a TD pass play on my shirt). We selected Jeff Barklage to be the cinematographer, and shot in Midwest Grip & Lighting's studio in Cincinnati. You can see all the spots we created HERE.

2006 was a great year for Kindig Omnimedia. We won a national Telly Award for the Denison University campaign DVD, "Higher Ground". We completed Denison's admissions DVD. We also completed a landmark Cedarville University DVD with over 8 hours of material -- in-depth information on every academic major, and a number of high-production-value segments extolling the university through student eyes. We just got word that our Cedarville DVD won a national Silver Award from the Admissions Advertising Awards organization.

We're also quite excited about the campaign we are finishing up for Minnesota Online. The positioning statement we created for them is "Works for Me"... and the hi-def workflow we first pioneered for Vorys Sater in 2005 has allowed us to provide TV and radio spots, at testimonial DVD, and brochure photography... all from whirlwind interviewing sessions across the state of Minnesota in October and December.

The American Institute of Physics hired Kindig Omnimedia to produce their 75th anniversary celebration, and to amass a large amount of historical documentary material for future uses. This exciting project took us to Washington D.C., Boston, New York, and San Diego. Highlights for us included interviewing Nobel Prize winner Norman F. Ramsey in his home, observing nanotubes pioneer Millie Dresselhaus in her MIT laboratories, and capturing exciting high-definition and timelapse images of the research facilities at Mt Palomar observatory and the Scripps Oceanographic Institution. The finished piece is visible on AIP's site here.

COLLEGE ADMISSIONS

"It all comes down to the closeup ... to the tear on the cheek." That's what Michael Eisner told me way back in 1984 when I interviewed him while working on the Denison Admissions Video. Of course, he was speaking of what makes for success in Hollywood movies that he was instrumental in bringing to the screen while the head of Paramount. Movies like Flashdance and the Indiana Jones series. When he went to Disney, he brought the same sensibilities to his role in assembling talent for movies like Dead Poets' Society. I paid close attention to his words, though, when I chose the shots for my productions on behalf of clients. And over the years, some of my best work in terms of powerful human emotions has been done in the college recruiting or admissions genre. The clip from Denison's 2004 commencement which you see above, no doubt, will find its way into the next Denison Admissions DVD, currently in production. What are the top 7 ingredients of success in a college admissions DVD? Here's my perspective, based on 20 years of award-winning experience.... (click here for more)
