According to Dr. Singh, “Duane was able to capture the emotion of the patient interview and was able to extract beyond his imagination the final result. Duane’s ability to visualize and tell the story is amazing.”
“While conducting the interview I remember visualizing the testimonial in my head, states Duane. “Working with the patient capturing the right sequence of video at her home and then editing the final was a wonderful process. That is what I like best about my job – taking a concept and turning it into a produced video.”
Dr. Singh continues, “Patient experience is about an emotional experience. You have to have the sense and vision to see what the patient is really telling you. Duane knew that from the beginning and the result is an award winning video for my web and social media sites.”

iCrush 5K coming to Big Rapids on November 9, 2014
Editing the Big Rapids iCrush 5k video.
Working on the Big Rapids iCrush 5k video. Had the opportunity to work with a local business owners Denise and Nick from Different by Design and members of the Big Rapids High School Cross Country team. In order to finish the Big Rapids iCrush 5k video we needed consent forms signed by those in this video. At the writing of this blogpost we have consent forms from everyone but one that keeps forgetting to bring his. Working with students we had to have their parents sign the forms. Need everyone to sign or cannot use any since they are all in the shots.
Currently have the Big Rapids iCrush 5k video edited with two options. However, of course the one with the member of the Big Rapids Cross Country team is my favorite. Now we wait. Go to iCrush.org to sign up to walk or run the 5k.
DW Video is here to help to your Business, School, Organization and Non-Profits story. Call Duane at 231-937-5420.

Knowing no one was in danger or lives at stake. The fire was a thing of beauty to watch.
A big Thank-You goes out to the Howard City Fire Department.
Had an opportunity to work with the Howard City Fire Department last evening as they did a ‘control burn’ of an old barn.
I am always looking for opportunities to gather stock video. The ‘controlled burn’ was ideal in the fact there were no lives trying to be saved. No critical structures to save. Which from this video producers mind provided the perfect chance to capture digital video and photos. My heart would not like to obtain footage that I would profit from off of someones loss. Thank you Howard City Fire Department for this opportunity.
While capturing the video it occurred to me how beautiful the fire was. The way it moves, sways and dances about. Even the destruction of the barn, the frame and foundation were wonderful to watch and capture. Again, for me it was because there was no real loss. No body loosing a family treasure and more importantly… no one in harms way. I know, must be a softy. This is why I would not be good as a news reporter. I care to much.
Take a minute and watch for yourself, Howard City Fire Department – Controlled Burn.
