The winter of 2014 found video producer Duane Weed capturing some stock footage and time lapse video around Michigan.
The winter of 2014 is one we will not forget. It will be remembered for the amount of days schools were closed. The amount of snow and the number of days of cold weather – also called the polar vortex will be in our minds for awhile. During this time I decided to shoot some time lapse videos with my GoPro Hero 3. Time lapse is a series of frames taken at an interval to give you the result you are looking for. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing.
Like with any effect you do not want to over do it, add Time Lapse Video as at tool for telling a story. Here are a few examples – similar in style – all around our great state of Michigan.

It may have been cold and windy outside – this Michigan Time Lapse was done over a one hour time frame, Edited with Sony Vegas Pro the slow zoom in was done in editing. The final was put to a buy out music soundtrack.

A Michigan Sunrise is beautiful. Editor Duane Weed took this time lapse with the GoPro. During editing added titles and movement to the final video. Then used a buy out music cut to not infringe on copyright issues.

In Frankport there was a storm coming in across Lake Michigan. Using the GoPro set this time lapse for around 45 minutes. Love the cloud action.
Using many techniques to tell a story – Time Lapse Video is a great tool for your storytelling toolbox.

KJM Productions and DW Video produce series of landscaping videos for Midland’s Reder Landscaping. The Landscaping videos are being used on Reder’s website.
“The vision of the home begins with the home owner.
The vision of the project begins with Reder Landscaping of Midland.”
These are the opening lines to one of the videos showcasing landscaping projects by Reder.
The concept, the writing and visual idea came from Kathy Murphy, KJM Productions. We had captured numerous landscapes for a TV Commercial and Kathy had a vision to take it further. Kathy is always looking out for her clients and seeing what else can be done to promote them.
After some talks with DW Video and owner Paul Reder, Kathy personalized the landscape videos, wrote scripts and we then edited them. The first round was for a DVD that was given to the homeowners as a thank you for allowing us to capture their landscapes on video. Kathy then did a rewrite and produce these for use on Reder’s website. We did and wow!
www.rederlandscaping.com – utilizing videos produced by Kathy Murphy, shot and edited by Duane Weed.
Reder Landscaping website highlights 95% of the videos Kathy Murphy and Duane Weed produced. These landscape videos add impact to the Reder message on their site.
Using the power of video allow Reder to show off there outstanding work.
Included in the mix of individual landscape projects are the TV Commercials Kathy wrote and produced. Of course, DW Video did the editing. According to Duane, “Audio is 90% of a good video. Kathy makes my job easy. Her concepts and creative flow allows me to edit these wonderful shots into a series of videos that mean business for Reder Landscaping.”
Reder Landscaping is a notch above the rest when it comes to visualizing their customers needs. I love their business sense, their ability to transform ideas into reality. This was taken from their website – “We don’t cut corners. We have the people, experience and dedication to do things right, and with an industry-leading five year warranty on hardscape workmanship, we have the strength, longevity and confidence to stand behind our work.”
The same is true in your message and marketing approach. Give DW Video a call 231-937-5420. No matter if it is a landscape video or promotional – have the Creative Team of KJM Productions and DW Video tell your story.

The challenge of producing this video was… so many great interviews. How to edit into a short 3 minute video.
