DW Video was contracted by Sygnifi Networks and Greg Troin to produce the Mackinaw community tourist video.
According to Troin “This was a very exciting project and part of the collaborative marketing initiative, championed by Dawn Edwards, Executive Director of the Mackinaw Chamber. The video truly showcases the many great reasons to visit the area. Duane did a super job capturing the essence of why the Mackinaw region is a must see.”
“This was an exciting video shoot for many reasons,” states Duane. “For one, this video was to Promote Michigan, which I truly have a passion for. And two was able to have my son; daughter and dad help with the on-location digital video along with media producer Frank Krywicki.”
When Mackinaw Chamber’s, Dawn Edwards heard of the award she commented that is great recognition for Duane’s many hours of hard work, (Exploring the Great Up North).” Edwards continues, “This movie evolved into a year round snapshot of the area regardless of weather and other filming challenges. It captured the desire to travel north, relax with the family, explore real history and discover the many area recreational and business opportunities in the Mackinaw City Area.”

Working with a well written script and professionally narrated by Steve Yankee. Duane set out to Torch Lake near Traverse City to shoot the scenes needed for the video. Additional video was taken in West Michigan on the Muskegon River by Browers Park.
Showing people having fun with the product promotes the major benefit of having a great propeller on your boat. Using creative lighting techniques for the product shots highlights the propeller being made. On a side note Duane remembers having to shoot the process tight as to not give away trade secrets for how they clamped down the unit.
