One
famous designer likes to say, "Eat the Audience". We prefer
to Feed the Audience.
Watch
our work, and you'll probably agree that there is a very tangible
intangible that makes our films better.
What
makes our films and videos display what Picasso called art
with intelligence? Ask our clients,
like Jim Artis of Ohio University who called it our "Gestalt";
Ask our creative collaborators, like John Fippin of Magnetic Studios
who called us "The best interviewer on
the Planet"; Ask our viewers, like Michael Eisner
who complimented one of our films as "The
Best College Video I have ever seen."
One
important element is unique to us: Dick Kindig's personality.
Put him behind a camera and you'll be astounded by the way he sees,
interacts, and enhances every situation. You'll be impressed by
the energy of his visuals and the natural
way your people come across on film.
Dick's
relentless creativity also finds new
surprises to add drama and emotion to every subject.
Part
of what works is Dick's experience
and confidence. Maybe
the best word of all is "balance";
but if "balance" implies mediocrity to you, then that's
the wrong word, too.
Frankly
we don't know what to call "it" -- but we urge you to call "us".
Kindig Omnimedia displays a gift for film and video
communication that will diagnose your difficulties, assess your audiences,
and deliver a finely-crafted, exquisitely appropriate piece that will
exceed your expectations.

Nestle
Ice Cream
- "The True Story of Nestle Diary Systems"
Shot
on 16mm film on location in Ohio, California, France, Switzerland,
and Germany. Intended audience: employees of the NDS, which
had recently been created by the merger of Nestle Ice Cream,
Carnation, and the Drumstick Company. By dramatizing the founding
of each company and then showing the modern results of each
corporate tradition, every employee gained a positive motivational
perspective. Tangible results which the NDS President greatly
appreciated.
The
Columbus Zoo - "Children Love Manatees"
When
the Columbus Zoo asked us to create a Media Wall that would
engage visitors of all ages, we decided to let children tell
the story with wonder and excitement. We shot the entire production
on film, including magnificent underwater shots and dramatic
images of the environmental damage that threatens the very
existence of the manatee. This cute, funny, scary, and beautiful
presentation, with original music score and lots of emotional
impact, won a national Telly award and continues to excite
visitors to the Columbus Zoo.
Jewish
Converts & Interfaith Network
- "Who Am I?"
What
forms the identity of a child? Are children helped by attempts
to raise them with two religions, as often happens to the
children of interfaith? This 30-minute video tour-de-force
explores the Jewish identity, and answers the question "Why
be Jewish?" with power and sensitivity. Wonderful interviews
of little children, tortured teens, conflicted parents, and
Holocaust survivors, are skillfully interwoven with the authoritative
findings of Lena Romanoff, our client and the founder of JCIN.
Shot on location in Philadelphia, Austin, and Columbus.
Glencoe
McGraw/Hill - "Buen Viaje!"
Shot
on film and video, this creative tape is one of many exceptional
tools we have delivered to the largest secondary-school textbook
publisher in the world.
Imagine
a Spanish teacher's nightmare: her students encounter scary
situations in Spain, in which their only response is to recite
lists of colors or vegetables in Spanish! That's the premise
that opens the door to selling a curriculum that really does
teach useful communication skills.
The
Medallion Club - "Inspiration of Medallion"
What
makes a golf course valuable? 54 distinct holes, plus the
beauty of its setting and the amenities of its clubhouse.
Our film helped this residential community find its footing
and establish its brand in a town that offered lots of private
clubs that compete with our client. We interviewed Clark Kellogg,
Cabot Rea, and other native notables who had chosen Medallion
for the quality package that it offered.
Arshot
Investment - "Colts' Neck"
How
can you sell premium home sites in a development that doesn't
yet exist? Capture the essence of what the equestrian community
will be in Lexington, Kentucky, and then describe the diversity
of architectural styles and large lot sizes in the language
and style of Henry David Thoreau. This exceptional script
won a Bronze Award in the International Columbus Film Festival.
Drumstick
- "Frosty Paws"
How
do you bring food brokers to their feet, cheering your surprise
new product? Tell them, in the best traditions of Jaws, "The
Dogs of America want to EAT OUR ICE CREAM!" Using live dogs,
a zany interloper and a clever presentation script to prime
the audience for this hilarious film, we literally had the
audience on their feet ... and prompted the brokers to go
out and generate national sales and shelf space without any
additional advertising!
