Indiana’s Horshoe Casino chose Chicago Producers to promote The Venue, a 90,000 square foot show room capable of hosting 2,500 guests for a variety of events ranging from elaborate cocktail receptions to VIP concerts.  Chicago Producers was well positioned to assist with the development of a state of the art presentation using cutting edge technology.  Combing video, photographs, audio, PDF’s and Flash interactivity Chicago Producers built a dynamic presentation outlining every detail The Venue has to offer. 

The presentation audience was intended to be high level event planners, coordinators and producers of big dollar occasions.  Chicago Producers directed the Horseshoe Casino to a new product – the Credit Card USB drive!  With full color printing the Credit Card style USB drive housed the presentation with class.  The sales initiative was a success!  Martha Link, Director of Sales and Marketing had this to say,

"Many thanks to you and your team for your hard work and patience on this project – it looks fantastic."

An out of work Human Resource Executive recently contacted Chicago Producers video department to assist with a unique presentation. Director of Video Services for Chicago Producers, Bill Vala explains how this video project came to be; "our client contacted us with an unusual idea – he wanted to make a Video Resume.  We filmed him against a green screen at our downtown video recording studio on Wednesday April 1st.  No April fools here.” 

After digitizing the video, Chicago Producers editors chose the best segments from each of the views – full body and talking head.  Next the green background was removed and a simple white and black background put in its place.  An online preview was sent to the client for revisions or approval.  The client approved the video on April 6th, "I thought it was very good. I did not want to come across like an actor. Sometimes being perfect is too smooth.Please call me so we can talk about our next step." 

The next step was to Author the DVD and duplicate 50 copies with printing on the disc face.  Our one-stop shop capabilities allowed us to turn around this project very quickly without outsourcing any part.  Within 6 business days by April 9th the client had received all 50 discs and was very pleased.  “Bill, the package came as you said yesterday. All I can say is this whole process starting from my first call to you to the end was wonderful. Looking for work is difficult. I hope this will give me the edge I need. I’m so proud of this video and your team. I could not ask for any more. Great work! I wish you and your company the very best.”

The Kidney Cancer Association set out to redesign their website with the help of Chicago Producers Web Solutions Team.  Kidney Cancer’s CEO Bill Bro said “we need a site that can be accessed in office using a CMS (Content Management System); with an updated, cleaner and easier to use design”.  With years of experience of installing, configuring and customizing Content Management Systems, Chicago Producers chose Joomla! as the new platform for KidneyCancer.org.  Joomla is an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enabled Chicago Producers to accommodate Kidney Cancer’s need for ease-of-use and extensibility.

KidneyCancer.org contains information from scientists and physicians who are experts in understanding and treating kidney cancer. The goal is to help you beat cancer by making you smarter.  How is this possible? Your ability to think, to use information, and to make choices about treatment can help bend the odds in your favor. Visiting kidneycancer.org is the first step.  The site is intended primarily as a resource for patients and medical professionals and the information presented is periodically reviewed by the Association’s medical and scientific advisors.
