		<title>The End…And the Beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is our 52nd – and final &#8211; weekly blog celebrating our 30 years of creating video here at Midland Video Productions so it’s time to look back at the very beginning.  This week there is no video in this blog entry, just a newspaper clipping. 30 years ago the Milwaukee Sentinel or the Milwaukee &#8230; <a href="http://midlandvideo.com/blog/2010/12/the-end%e2%80%a6and-the-beginning/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Blood and Incense – Christmas at the Cathedral</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’ll get to the “blood” part later. But first… Incense is one of the things that makes Midnight Mass such a spectacle and there was plenty of it in the air on Christmas Eve in 1995 at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist on Cathedral Square in downtown Milwaukee. We were producing a live &#8230; <a href="http://midlandvideo.com/blog/2010/12/blood-and-incense-%e2%80%93-christmas-at-the-cathedral/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Building a Better Mousetrap – Joiner Associates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For this project we needed to do more than build a better mousetrap. We needed to build a better mousetrap factory, which we did &#8211; in our studio. In addition to creating a set, we also needed to hire nearly every working actor in Milwaukee and quite a few from Chicago. The project was for &#8230; <a href="http://midlandvideo.com/blog/2010/12/building-a-better-mousetrap-%e2%80%93-joiner-associates/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>A Good Time for a Good Cause</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’ve done a number of projects for the MACC Fund over the years but for over a decade we produced a piece for their golf outing. We’d set up early at Tripoli Country Club with our 30’ Winnebago and send out crews in golf carts to capture the action. Then it all had to be &#8230; <a href="http://midlandvideo.com/blog/2010/12/a-good-time-for-a-good-cause/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>The Popcorn King – Orville Redenbacher</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Popcorn Queen. Popcorn Parade. Popcorn 5K Run. Popcorn Dinner. Popcorn Float. You name it; they make it out of popcorn in Valparaiso, Indiana. We were there to shoot the Orville Redenbacher Popcorn Festival in the summer of 1981 and we learned quickly that the locals are very serious about these kernels.

When we put on a show, WE PUT ON A SHOW! (OK. OK. They were all celebrity impersonators, but still….)

		<title>Ho, ho, ho! 22 Boston Store Commercials</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don’t know what you were doing 30 years ago this week, but we clearly remember our November 1980. We had only been open for business a few months and we were about to create more than twenty 30-second spots for Boston Store in one week. After much negotiating, the Pabst Mansion had allowed us &#8230; <a href="http://midlandvideo.com/blog/2010/11/ho-ho-ho-22-boston-store-commercials/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

The Milwaukee Secure Detention Facility (MSDF) is a high-rise, medium security correctional facility at 10th and State Streets in downtown Milwaukee with a capacity of 1,024 offenders – and a video production crew.

Coal mines, operating rooms, nuclear power and sewage treatment plants, boardrooms and factory floors…. We’ve spent time in all of them over the past 30 years in Wisconsin and most of the other 50 states.

		<title>Badger Meter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Projects often start with a challenge. And a challenge is what we faced when we started putting together a video to celebrate Badger Meter’s 100th anniversary. Why? Well, telling the story of the very early days of the company would take at least a minute or two of the video and the only visual we &#8230; <a href="http://midlandvideo.com/blog/2010/10/badger-meter/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
