News - Fall 2007

2007 has been a busy year for Dancing Sun Multimedia. With a major documentary in the works (the creation of the sculpture "Harvest") and a variety of video productions ongoing or about to begin, we will be hard pressed to get everything completed on schedule.

We are currently working on a new commission from the Northfield Retirement Community that shows how churches in the community can look at their involvement with NRC as a "backyard mission." This is a new concept that may inspire other churches around the country. Later this fall, we will also be at NRC documenting the many new physical changes and additions that are being put in place. A long-time client, NRC has been wonderful to work with.

We have just finished an updating of an earlier version of a video for the Sheltering Arms Foundation of Minneapolis. Check out the Video page to see the final version.

We are looking forward to working with the Maltby Nature Preserve on a promotional video for their organization. This will likely commence early in 2008.

We are also excited about a new video for the African Development Center of Minneapolis. They are making amazing progress in helping new immigrants from Africa learn the ins and outs of doing business in America and in purchasing new homes. They are under the leadership of Hussein Samatar, a remarkable leader in the Somali community.

New Studio Equipment: As we make the transition to High Definition video, Dancing Sun has purchased a new Apple Macintosh workstation. We have also invested in Final Cut Pro Studio Suite to give us the quality and horsepower we will need to work in this exciting new video format.

Although none of our current clients has asked for high-def production, we realize that it is only a matter of time before this will be routine. Our next decision is what kind of camera to invest in. There are so many on the market that it will take some time to make this important move. In the meantime, we will likely rent cameras as the need arises. So whether you want standard of high definition, we stand ready to meet your technical and aesthetic requirements.
