Keeping Employees safe with a training safety video produced by DW Video,
Big Rapids-Rockford-Greenville-Keeping Employees safe is the goal of an employer and to provide them the proper training to do so. At DW Video we not only work in the communities mentioned, we cover the great state of Michigan. Have camera… will travel. Our job is to tell your story. From promotion to training and safety videos that is our job and we do it well.
According to Greg Schuetz, “I am the Human Resources Director at Steeltech Ltd. Steeltech is a foundry that produces stainless steel castings. It is my responsible for the safety of our employees.”
People today learn by watching. They learn by observing the right way to do a task and then with practice master the job. At DW Video we tell your story.
“Duane produced safety videos for our facility. They highlighted equipment that can be hazardous if not operated correctly”, states Greg. “So far, we have made 3 videos and are planning on producing other ones for our company.”
[youtube_sc url=”http://youtu.be/rWO1IOr6uOY” title=”Safety%20Video” rel=”0″]
It all begins with a script that provides the content and provides a shot list when it comes time to pull out the cameras. When capturing digital video it includes a series of long shots to establish where we are and close ups to highlight the detail of what is being demonstrated.
According to Greg, “I like working with Duane, because he is flexible on scheduling and working with us during production. He learns the process of the equipment that we are highlighting and understands the nature of what we’re doing and the safety features that are important to highlight for our people. He is also very responsive. Recently, I had to make a dvd for a doctor regarding a workers compensation issue. I had the video on my cell phone. The doctor needed it right away and Duane was able to do it the same day and he down-loaded off my phone and loaded it on to the dvd while I waited.”
For your next training and safety video give DW Video at 231 937-5420. We can set up a time to discuss your needs and come up with a budget. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you. www.dwvideo.com.php56-26.ord1-1.websitetestlink.com

Bear Hunt in the Lake Gogebic area.
Looking back over thirty years of DW Video seems like yesterday. The projects, the people the experiences. WOW, what a ride. Looking back at one of my first jobs. Was contracted by Norm Benzing to video a bear hunt in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan around the Lake Gogebic area. Being crammed in the back of a Bronco for the long ride north full of gear was lets say, an experience. Once we arrived at camp one of the first things to learn was how to use a sissor jack style tree stand. Later that day we headed to the woods and little did I know my adventure was just beginning. We picked out the tree and up the tree I climbed. Once at the top, set the stand into the tree, put on the safety harness, turned and placed my weight on the wrong part of the stand releasing it. As the stand scissored to the ground leaving me hanging from the strap. Looking down at Norm he grabbed the the stand and brought it back up to me. Believe me the rest of the night seemed really long as I was afraid to move. Fast forward to walking out of the words that night. Turning to Norm I said “Sorry for ruining the hunt”. He stopped and started laughing, almost uncontrollably. For the rest of the trip my ribs were very bruised. We did not get a bear, but hanging from a tree is the one time in thirty years of DW Video that still hurts my ribs when thinking about it.
